HIALEAH PARK, Fla, March 4.
A dozen thoroughbreds will go
postward for the $4,000 added
Widener Challenge Cup here to-
morrow, with the Glen Riddle
FARMS mighty, War Admiral the
2-to-5 favorite.
The Little Admiral" was out
on the track this morning for q
pipe opener. He galloped around
the oval once and then breezed a
half mile in :49 As with Charley
Kurtsinger holding him under
double wraps. The son Of Man-o.
War appeared at the peak of his
best form and cooled out nicely
after his morning gallop.
A strong contender loomed in
Tatterdemalion, the property OF
John A. Healey, when the former
Whitneyite turned in a sizzling
three-quarter spin in 1:12.
SURPRISES CLOCKER
The son of st. Germans sur
IpriSed the clockers when he step
ped the half mile in :46 is and
the five-eigfths in $50 3-5 and
then was taken in hand to com
plete the six panels in 1:12.
After the trial the veteran
trainer said that Tatterdemalior
would be q certain starter despite
the fact that he rated War Ad
miral a distinct standout.
The stock of Hirsch Jacobs Ca
ballero End rose slightly also
when it was made known today
that he will be ridden by Eddie
Arcaro, the leading rider Of th'
current meeting. Arcaro wa
scheduled to have the mount OF
Brush Hook, but the latter wa
declared out by Trainer GaveE

WIDE OPEN RACE

SANTA ANITA PARK, March 4
GN.SO.-The 100000 Santa
Anita Handicap swung into its
final "a hour tempo today with is
or 16 starters on a track labelled
good" as the probable Setup.
The silhouette Of Seabiscuit
loomed as the probable post-time
favorite in what looked to be the
most wide open of all the Santa
Anitas to date Santa Anita fans
sometimes wander far afield be-
fore lighting on favorite.
FAvORITES FAILED
They have, however, hewed
pretty close to the line in past
Santa Anita Handicaps in the
matter of installing a favorite.
The first year they made Equipoise
a shortpriced choice. He obliged
by finishing far in the ruck.
The next year great hordes of
humanity hoped on Discovery at
prohibitive odds. He never did get
into contention. A bit wary the
third year the fans wagered all
around RoSemont, but sufficient
number of them kept their COM
posure sufficiently to retain him
q favorite at the lucrative odds Of
nearly 4 to !. He came through
in the last Jump.
Seabiscuit may close on the
tote board at as high figure as
2 to i. Odds of this paltry calibre
may not seem like an overlay to
the two dollar bettor but If the
Biscuit does pay off at 2 to l or
better he will be a much better
price than in any of his previous
nine starts when he was 2'5, 6-5,
2-5, ITO, As, 1870, even, even
and 9.10 respectively.
NEUTRALS DISAGREE
Regardless of Seabiscuit's odds
or whether he wins or not, a con-
census of q neutral trainers caU-
vassed yesterday produces what,
to one way of thinking, amounts
to a startling disclosure"
BY neutral trainers is meant
those which haven't a horse en-
tered in the race, trainers merely
sitting on the sidelineS smoking
their Merschams complacently and
popping off between puffs, with
not even the slightest idea that
the coach will send them in to
toss the winning touchdown pass.
Only two of these 'neutralS" tab
Seabiscuit as the winner.
It is useless to seek an intelli-
gent sort of a concensus among
trainers who are sending horses
to the post in the race. A major
Iity of them are confident their
own horse will win. This is only
natural. They see, in their en-
thusiasm, only the good points of
their own horse and thus bolstered
underestimate the talents and pos
sibilities Of their rivals.
TREASON?
Johnny LOTUS, Pompoon's able
trainer, is one exception. He picks
Seabiscuit. Earl Sande, trainer of
the Stagehand-Sceneshifter act,
comes up with one out of the
pickle vat-Whichcee.
Perhaps the canvass of the 27
neutral trainers, all of them vet
ieran conditioners who know the
difference between a hot dog and
a hors d'oeuvre in an equine way,
doesn't mean q thing, except that
it may ultimately prove that these
men can be just as inexpert as
the experts when it comes to
pegging the right horse in an i'm
portant stake.
