Crossword 070: Need for Speed?

William Powell Frith, The Derby Day


Today's puzzle will be distributed (thanks to "Bob Kerfuffle") at the annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, where people try to solve puzzles as fast as they can.  I myself don’t like to solve puzzles fast.  I like to savor them, to meditate on the nuances of the fill and the cluing, and on the ramifications of the theme.  That’s why I design puzzles the nuances and ramifications of which can be easily meditated on.  I won’t spoil your fun by explaining just what those might be in this puzzle.
