Twentieth Start

"Won easily: second and third driving.  Man o’ War was a bit fractious at the post, but broke well and assumed command under a strong pull round the first turn, then Kummer rated him along easily and he drew away without effort when Wildair challenged about the middle of the stretch, and was easing up at the finish."
