Alix laid flat to the sulky at Washington Park, Chicago, taking the Columbian Exposition Purse in September of 1893 at a 2:07¾ record. Currier & Ives closed out the trotting century with its fastest mare yet, the record time printed on the sheet as the whole argument for owning it. The driver crouched low over the dash, the posture speed demanded by 1893. Every record retires the one before it.
