S1OO,O|ID CLASSIC
CAVALCADE' GOAL
Ready Again, Mrs. SIoane's
Star Leaves This Week
for California.
BY ORLo ROBERTSON,

n YEW YORK, December IT,
M Cavalcade, reigning 3-year-
" old of 1898, will embark on a
comeback campaign this week
when he leaves his Winter quarters at
Columbia. S. c.. for California. with
the 100000 Santa Anita Handicap as
his chief objective.
The English-bred colt from Mrs.
Dodge Sloane's Brookmeade Stable
has fully recovered from the ailments
that beset him since he was forced
into retirement in midseason two
years ago after winning six of his
seven starts and Sl11,235. His only
defeat was by a stablemate, High
Quest, in the PreakneSs.
The latest injury occurred at the
start of the Suburban Handicap at
Belmont Parks Spring meeting when
he threw his jockey. In his first race
of the season he had finished second
to Head Play in an overnight event.
Appears Perfectly Sound
"CAVALCADE is coming along very
lLSC4y, 11ONdLO dSSIlL
for the stables. told the Associated
Press. He is working out 4 miles a
day and galloping soundly. Physically
he is perfect"
The Brookmeade ace went West for
the Santa Anita race last year and
= was made a favorite over such former
greats as Equipoise, Twenty Grand,
Mate and Head Play. Five days be-
fore the classic he turned up with a
hoof injury and was withdrawn.
If Cavalcade stands training he
again will hook up with Alfred c.
Vanderbilt's Discovery, the speedy
chestnut which took so much of the
Brookmeade colts dust as a 3-year-
old. Discovery, holder of two world
records, will be favorite to turn the
tables on the Brookmeade star.
Mrs. Sloane also has named her
best 3-year-old of the year, Psychic
Bid, for the rich handicap. Accom-
panying the two stars to the West
Coast will be Black Gift, Special
Agent, Neap and Indian Broom, the
last two being 2-year-olds.
