	Whirlaway
		Arcaro was introduced to his mount during morning work hours in an unusual manner.
		The winner's final time of 2:01 2/5 broke the former track record set by Twenty Grand ten years before, and Whirlaway was not once touched with the whip--Arcaro was looking over his shoulder in the final yards for competition that never materialized.
		With Arcaro again in the saddle, Whirlaway was an easy winner by five and a half lengths in the Preakness, after which Eads rode him to a victory against the older horses Mioland, Hash and Your Chance in an allowance race of May 20 -- an unusual preparation for the Belmont Stakes.

	Historical Cameo
		Whirlaway had the genetic deck stacked against him when he drew his temperament card, as both his sire and his dam had reputations for being excitable.
		In a daring experiment to familiarize Arcaro with Whirlaway in a workout, Jones, astride his pony, took up a position a few paces off the inside rail on the far turn, right where the colt would tend to go wide, and he told the jockey to steer Whirlaway between the rail and the pony.
		Whirlaway was not a scintillating sire, but he left a few good fillies to carry on his blood.
