Race Lacked Name" Horse.

THE Santa Anita classic hadn't been
- given the pre-race publicity 1t got
its first two runnings, probably
because there wasn't any name"
horse in the race this year. Two years
ago 1t was Equipoise who made the
headlines and last year it was
Discovery.
But out here even greater interest
had been shown in the race. For the
last three days. race talk was all one
could hear in hotels. restaurants,
cocktail rooms or anywhere one hap
pened to be.
At the movie lote, it was even worse,
and I don't imagine anything colos-
sal-or even slightly stupendous-has
been turned out in the last week or so.
The movie people apparently have
become ga-ga over the races-a few
because they really like them and the
rest because it seems to be the thing
to do.
Bing Crosby is the No. man of
the Aims as far as racing is concerned,
with AL Jolson, Joe E. Brown, Fred
Astaire and Raoul Walsh close behind.
Walsh was the only one, however, who
owned a horse entered in the handi-
cap. Grand Manitou, 4-year-old
importation from France, was Walsh's
entry.
An unusual side light in connection
with Rosemont's victory, is that Du
Pont brought only four horses out
here this Winter and yet has won
the three richest stakes of the meet
ing. and purses totaling nearly
$150,000.
