Raced in GB & US. Won 1913 Handicap Triple Crown.

Whisk Broom II's AR of 2:00 for the Suburban of 10f is controversial; track's official clocker was only 1 to record very fast time. Unbelievably 3 horses in same race thus also set ARs. Horsemen present who clocked it caught it ranging from 2:01-3/5 to 2:03-2/5. Regardless, it was great feat as at least equaled own TR while conceding average 27 pounds to his 4 rivals.

Died 1928.
