        Mr. Peabody 5.88, P's Rambling 6.05, Runaway Sue 6.05.

      doubling him.
        Mr. Peabody's time means 23.48 for 400m or 61.2 km/h.
      The 1993 Guiness reports The Shoe running 374m in 20.1
      in 1968 (then-straightaway track at Richmond), corres-
      ponding to 5.37 for 100m or 67 km/h.
