You hurled your hat in the air and lost it and grabbed your neighbor's hat and sent it up, too, yellin' all the time like a Fiji Islander for some one else just ahead of you had just uttered the magic words, "Hurrah, boys, they're off." Excitement of the Race. You really couldn't see them for those shimmering silky horses dashing by like birds. The sport fan in front of you blocked your view and only when he moved to one side or the other did you glimpse them but you never very end.
