Orthodox horsemen are frequently disconcerted when one of Mr. Jacobs' educated mounts streaks industriously away from the barrier before his rivals know a race is on. Trainer Jacobs' 146th winner last week was Night Sprite, who, because he had failed to win in his last six starts, had been sold at bargain rates two days before. After only 48 hours in the Jacobs barn, Night Sprite knew exactly what to do. He plunged across the finish line first...
