Seven-hundred-odd- 2 pounds of wire and whipcord, a mite of a gelding standing but little over fourteen hands, Victory Morn had challenged his division time and again, and never been disgraced.

Vielsalm’s 3-year-old full-brother, Open the Bank, was second in the James W.

Merriweather has a 2-year- old filly by Dance With Ra- vens named Weatherurnot and produced a colt by Great Notion in 2013.
