Battleship Was Near Non Starter
 In Race He Won

Aintree, Eng, March 26-(UP)- Friends of Reginald Hobbs, train- CT of Battleship, the first American bred horse to win the Grand Ma tional Steeplechase, said today that he had been undecided up to al- most the last moment whether to run the horse.
 Mrs. Marion Scott, Battleship's' owner, arrived at the course only a few minutes before post time, they said. and resolved Hobbs indeci- sion. She insisted that her horse run.
 Hobbs could not be reached to verify this story, but on Wednesday he bet 50 shillings ($12.50) on his horse to win and 50 to place. The odds in the final call-over were 40 to 1, but Hobbs got 100 to and won 312 pounds, 10 shillings-$1, ,560.

 Mrs. Scott travelled all night and caught one of the last special trains to Aintree yesterday to see her horse win, but she did not have bet on him.
 By his victory, Battleship took his place alongside Man O'War's oth- CT great sons-War Admiral, Ken lucky Derby, Preakness and Bel mont winner in 1897; Clyde Van Dusen, Kentucky Derby winner in 1929; Crusader, Belmont winner in 1926; and American Flag, Belmont winner in 1925. Battleship- had previously won the American Grand National at Belmont in 1884. Be- cause of a taint somewhere in his bloodline, Man O'War or none of his get is listed in the English stud book.
