Sport: St. Edward of Lexington
(6 of 6)
His superstition had Colonel Bradley in a tight corner last week. A train of threes had run its course in 1932 when he won the Derby for the third time. Then in 1933 two miracles happened to him at once: he won the Derby for the fourth time and for the second time in succession, unheard of in the race's history. What Colonel Bradley was hoping against hope for last week was that a new sequence of fortunate threes had been started which would terminate in Bazaar's victory this week. The prayers of every loyal Kentuckian, whose bet is traditionally "Bradley across the board," were raised that St. Edward of Lexington might somehow work another horse-racing miracle.
