PHOENIX, Ariz. Jan. 81 UP) -
Seated in box % at the Phoenix
Jockey club yesterday, I suddenly
came to the conclusion that | had
just as lief see a horse that would
not bring $75 at the glue factory
run as I would Seabiscuit or War
Admiral.
And no sooner was this conclu-
sion out of the way than I arrived
at another one; namely, that not
one of every 1000 persons at a race
track would recognize a great horse
unless its name was clearly printed
on the program. I honestly believe
that if ten Of the greatest horses in
the country were entered in cheap
event under names other than their
own. only a scattering Of trainers,
Jockeys, handicapperS and the like
would be able to spot them and
know they were looking at an extra
ordinary race.
To the unframed eye all horses
look alike. There is a tremendous
difference in the abilities Of horses,
as all hOss players have learned the
hard and expensive way. But just
looking at them from the outside,
horses are horses. War Admiral's
ankles are no more neatly turned
than those of a plug who couldn't
do a mile in three minutes. Seabis-
cults Withers and fetlockS are no
gloSsier than those on well kept
milk horse. Some of the sloWeSt
horses ever to run last could out
prance and out-snort time supply in
the parade to the post.
Take the Phoenix track. I came to
it straight from Santa Anita, most
elegant of all tracks and one which
attracts the finest thoroughbreds in
the United States. The Phoenix
track is not rich, Is purses are small
and the horses that run on it are
ordinary to say the least. Someone
was telling me yesterday that only
one horse had been claimed during
