The Story of Clara Mac 2:04 1-2 When Walter Gallup and Clara Mac straight- heated a field of eleven good pacers last September at Santa Rosa in the rather sensational time of 2:05%. 2:06% and 2:06%, horse folks rubbed their eyes, sat up. and awoke to the fact that a new and genuine star had appeared in their midst.
