...first time that anybody could remember, there were two undefeated horses in the field. Eastern money was on Joan Whitney Payson's No Robbery, who had won all five of his races by a minimum of 2½ lengths. Then there was Captain Harry Guggenheim's Never Bend, the richest horse of all, a dark bay with $502,484 in his bankroll. At post time, Candy Spots was the 3-2 favorite; No Robbery was 5-2; Never Bend was the close third choice at 3-1. The rest of the field went into the gate at odds...

Near the wire, No Robbery will have faded out of contention, Never Bend and Chateaugay will be wearing each other out in the stretch run, and Candy Spots will overhaul the leaders in the last sixteenth...

No Robbery will shoot into the lead at the start and try to hold the lead all the way. Never Bend, Bonjour, and Chateaugay will all run close to the pace. It is doubtful that No Robbery can last the distance with such tremendous pressure on him every step of the way. Toward the top of the stretch. Never Bend and Chateaugay will make their move against the leader...
