Sea Biscuit vs.. War Admiral


The last decade coming up. be-
tween Sea Biscuit and War Ad-
miral, everyone Is 'ga-ga' Both
horses are training superbly for
this sensational race. think Pom
poon would add little lustre TO
the event. ii they would make the
race ree-co-nered affair. This
sleek ches nut colt is in rare form
at present. and would give both OF
the other steeds a run for the mon
ey.
Any horse that can go mile in
1875 over Pimlico, has chance
TO beat any horse running to-day.
Yes, says Razzy.
The latest workout on Admiral
was IA in 23-2-5; LIZ in 1919.
which was Il grand work in knee
deep mud and he was crying for
his head
A little later on. the Biscuit

be called an electric rabbit. for
that Is the way he runs. He Is

Boys. this colt is nearly as good
a horse as his daddy His size is
against him. for long stride. but
whar heart this colt has. His

thought he would be able 10 run a.

Now we wort cold water the
Biscuit He Is grand horse, else
there wouldn't be- q match race on
May 30, but | cannot picture him
beating Admiral First Biscuit
has lost 100 many close finishes
by a nose. and If this should hap
pen am sure the Electric Rab-
bit viii be out front a head 81
nose al The finish.
Now we will come TO theii
trainers. G Conway. trainer d
admiral. is not quite so fashion
able as Tom Smith. trainer Of Bis
cult But Boys. he knows hi
horse. He came off the Glenn Rid
die Farm and was foreman fo
Man-O-War for years and years
He always takes his time abou
getting steed ready. because his
boss tells him not 10 run his hor
ses until they are ready.
6. Howard, owner Of Biscuit. Is
a wealthy man from the Coast ans
"A very fine HORSEPOWER. He ha,
more horses than most stable
carry. and therefore has 20 com
nercialize with his s,eeds NOR
than others.
Tom Smith has 20 do lot d
ihings with his horse. a. train,
or which G. Conway does not hay,
10 do.
Now. we shall see how The tw,
jockeys shape up against eacl
ether.
c. Kurtsinger. the lad who live,
so close 10 Churchill Downs. thai
when he is riding. he can hollei
up 10 his relations in the hours
is just about as honest Jockey a.
ever come probably, I've seen bet
ter Jockeys. but kurksinger will
de- until better ones comes along
lie gets a BIT OF ratified sometimes
bui he gets lots Of run Out Of the
horse.
Red Pollard lad from The
Coast. Is also a good rider but
not so lucky He seems 70 get in
70 lots OF trouble with horse.
then puts up a weak finish OF
course. he has been quite heavy
for long time and has to reduce
his weight, which makes a Jockey
weak.
The pace in this race will be
very fast. and there won't be much
failing OFT which most race fans
expect. because War Admiral runs
all Of his Ia alike in his bounding
style. Sea Biscuit has hard-run-
ming style and makes longer strid-
IS but he hangs al the finish
After all. may the best horse win.
think Admiral will win by two
open lengths Maybe ] am wrong.
but that Is my story. I will stick
20 H. Yes. yes, says Razzy.
