Que Allen - horse racing

Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal 21 Sept 1894
 
Que Allen Again – Sept 15 at Covington, Que Allen again came to the front.  He was entered there in the 2:24 trot and won it with ease.  It took four heats to settle the race, Laura McGregory getting the second heat, Que Allen’s driver permitting.  The best time was made in the last heat, 2:23 ½.  Que Allen will now be taken off the track for the season, having made a remarkable record.  He has won 7 races in less than a month, the only races he was ever in and has lost only a single heat.  He made a mark of 2:20 and could easily have beaten it.  Next season, however, he cannot be expected to do so well, although his admirers are calling a great future for him.  He will have to go in the 2:20 class and there will be horses in that next season that can go it in 2:16 and 2:15 like a flirt.  Que Allen will probably be with them at the finish, however! - kbz
