N Fox and Earl Sande-Ameri-
v cas- greatest turf combination
since the days of Man O. War
and Clarence Kummer-today were
within reach of the American all-time
money-making record.
Chalking up his sixth straight s.
vear-old victory in the Classic at Ar
lington Park Saturday, Gallant Fox
added $64,750 to his earnings and boost
ed his total to $274 $50, only 1885
short of the fortune amaSsed by Zev
in his meteoric career under the silks Of
Harry F. Sinclair.
In achieving another triumph over the
best that the 3-year-old division could
muster. the brilliant son of Sir Gala
had Sd, jumped from seventh to second
place. This jaunt up the standings left
such great money winners as Display,
Walter j. Salmon's iron horse; Extermi-
nator, Willis Sharp Kilmer's old CAM

Two Rivals Still at 1t.
OF the above group only Blue Lark
spur and Display still are in COMPETE
ton and the latter is in temporary re-
tirement, but expected to return to the
track for the Saratoga season. Blue
LarkSpur, the 1929 3-year-old title
holder, may furnish Gallant Fox some
real competition in the battle for riches,
however, before the sason is ovr.
Gallant Fox's total winnings may
mount again on Saturday if William
Woodward elects to start him in the
900 Arlington Cup race, in which
Blue Larkspur also may be starter.
Woodward and Trainer Sunny Jim
FitzSimmonS have expressed desire to
match the Eastern colt against older
horses and before the Classic selected
the Cup as the logical race for the Gal
liant Fox to make his debut out of his
class.
Gallant Fox's next Eastern engage
ment will be at Saratoga in the Travers
in August, and he also is scheduled to
go in the Lawrence Realization, run at
Belmont Park in September Victory in
these two races alone would place him
far above the money-winning record
set by zev.
