They were almost at the mile now; it was time for the lightning bay to make his bid. But what was this? Another colt, far back in the ruck, had begun to gain with an effortless, terrific stride, two jumps to one. Nobody could see the jockey's colors. Was this one of the unknowns — Light Carbine, Roy crofter? They came around the last corner into the homestretch; the strange horse wore E. R. Bradley's silks — he was Bagen-baggage, running-mate of Bubbling Over. Mr. W. R. Coe looked out, ashen-faced, from his box; Pompey had failed, there was no doubt of it; he had broken at the mile-turn. Bubbling Over was out in front, a sure winner, and his striding stable-brother was closing up behind him, passing the faltering Pompey, cutting down Rockman, nosing out Rhinock. . . .
Jockey Albert Johnson, up on Bubbling Over, sat in the winner's circle with a bunch of American Beauties in his arms. Owner Bradley,* the richer by $50,075 for the Winner's stake alone, let Mayor Walker of New York present him with a golden cup. Bubbling Over had won by five lengths; Bagenbaggage was second; Rockman third.

*This is the second time that Colonel Bradley has placed his horses first and second in the Derby. No other owner has ever done this twice. The only other man who ran a first and second was Commander J . K . L . Ross, who did it in 1919 with Sir Barton and Billy Kelly.
