Tourist |
 | | Tourist had run with the best in most of his races, and had won an important race, although he was not a patch on his sire at that age, and he might have been expected to do better the following year, but Bailey decided to divest himself of all his racing stock that fall. |
 | | Tourist II, carrying 148 lbs., ran second by a length to Joseph Widener's great steeplechaser Arc Light, who set a track record of 5:40, but a foul was lodged against the winner, and the stewards disqualified Arc Light, moving Tourist II up to first, but allowing Arc Light's record to stand. |
 | | Tourist II was sold to Marion DuPont Scott, and joined her famous steeplechaser Battleship -- the first American-bred and American-owned horse to win the Aintree Grand National -- at Montpelier Stud in Virginia. |
