Dick Hagen and ‘Hawaii:’ Potomac Hunt Race Heroes

A loose horse adds drama to 61st annual race program.

Headed down the half-mile homestretch, going hell bent for leather toward the finish line, were six race horses and their jockeys all vying for the Labadie Mill Perpetual Trophy, a mile and a half flat race for ladies only.
