Yet I say to you that Frank Muir

"a Horses Vie
For $4,000
Purse
By JACK MCDONALD

SANTA ANITA RACE TRACK,
Arcadia, Cal, Feb. 22.-Clattering
hoofbeats were to carve out an
epic staccato here this afternoon
as a record number Of horses, "a
in all, awaited the bugle call for
the $4,000 added Santa Anita
Derby.
Never in the history Of Western
racing has such select field Of
three-year-olds faced the barrier
for a race, which, though 1t lacks
the tradition of the Kentucky
Derby, outdoes that event in purse
money.
Following a "million-dollar bet
ting" day Saturday when $1,008,-
236 was wagered, a second million
dollar day was in prospect as a
throng of upwards of 10000 spec
tators, jamming the grandstand
and overflowing onto the infield
across the track, trekked to the
Sierra Madre foothills to witness
the third running Of the mile and
one-Sixteenth classic.
Difficult Task
Finding a post time favorite
was difficult task, even for the
most expert Of price makers. In
deed, though you could find the
favorite there was no assurance
that you had snagged the winner

Derbys was any criterion.
A horse named Gillie from the
c. v. Whitney Stables won the
first running two years ago. He
paid something like $46 for 50. IN
the event last year another out
slider ran down the favorite, Mrs.
SilaS B. Mason's Valevictorian in
the stretch.
Horses with early speed have
a decided edge where so many are
entered.
Sir Oracle Considered
For this reason Norman
Church's Sir Oracle, an early
speed horse which also possesses
staying qualities, was given con-
Sideration.
But experts agree that Alfred
G. Vanderbilt's Tedious is the best
horse in the race, all things being
equal. Tedious, however, is slow
starter. Breaking in the rear Of
the pack as he figures to do today
may prove an inSurmountable
handicap.
Adding a bit Of intrigue to the
race was the protest Of Wander.
biit, filed with the local stewards
Saturday, against the Church
entry-Sir Oracle and Patty Cake.
Church owns the stable which
was implicated in the alleged dop-
ing of Proclivity, which brought
about q legislative inquiry and re-

Taylor Holds Lease
He leased them to w. w. Taylor

if any, and church the remainder.
Vanderbilt claims that this ar
