Exterminator Faces Man o War Rivalry Captures Public Fancy
The 1923 turf season centers on Exterminator versus Man o War for the title of top money winner. Exterminator, eight, has earned through long campaigns at all distances, while Man o War, bred by Maj. August Belmont and owned by Samuel D. Riddle, boasts a near flawless record with $249,465 in earnings. The public cheers Old Bones as he battles weight handicaps and aims to surpass the legendary Quaint record, with Zev emerging as a rising challenger and Sam Hildreth guiding a potent Rancocas stable.
