MAY 25 1952 Off To A Flying Start- High Flying (left), owned by Andy Thomas and Piloted by Duane Robertson, gets off to a flying Start in the mud before a packed grandstand in the fourth race at Brush Saturday. Mistainer (third from left), owned by R. Leonard and W. Ireland with Clyde Williams in the irons, is running second on the first time around the half-mile oval. Mud and water over a foot deep next to the rail prevented fast times. The other two horses are unidentifiable. Border Bien (not shown) won the race in 1:08.2 and paid $6.40 $ 3.80 and $ 2.80. Mistainer place second and paid $ 10.80 and $ 3.20 while High Flying slowed to finish third and pay $ 2.60. Credit: Denver Post (Denver Post via Getty Images)
