Running against Hyperion, a speedy colt, he lost much ground coming into the stretch. It cost him the lead but he overtook Sea Fare and won by three lengths. Ocean Wave's winning time was 1:12 flat.〔 On October 9, 1942, Ocean Wave won the Balladier Purse down the Widener chute at Belmont Park. As the favorite in a field of ten, he won by five lengths, completing the six furlongs in 1:10 flat. He came within 4/5 of a second of the track record.〔''Whirlaway and Alsab to Meet Again in New York Handicap at Belmont'', New York Times, October 10, 1942, pg. 19.〕 In the $2,765 Sagamore Handicap at Pimlico Race Course on November 5, 1942, Ocean Wave came from behind to win. This triumph was achieved in competition against five other two-year-olds. He covered the six furlongs in a time of 1:12 2/5.〔''Ocean Wave Defeats Beau of Mine By Two Lengths in Pimlico Dash'', New York Times, November 6, 1942, pg. 28.〕 Ocean Wave decisively defeated six other highly rated thoroughbreds at Oaklawn Park on March 22, 1943. He came from last place to win the $1,000 Ouachita Purse, a six furlong prep for thoroughbreds eligible for the Arkansas Derby.〔''Ocean Wave Wins Sprint'', New York Times, March 23, 1943, pg. 23.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ocean wave」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
