100000 mark easily this fall and
be ready for another 100000 kill
ing at Santa Anita next winter.
AS it is, HoWard's $4,000 invest
ment in two horses has brought him
$500,000, with another possible $780,
600 in sight before another crop
of April violets arrives on the scene.
Howard was deeply disappointed
when Seabisciut broke down just
on the verge of breaking Sun Beau's
money-Winning record. His Argen-
tine beauty may come through
where Seabiscui failed-unless the
older horse after a good rest can
resume again.
1t may be that Challedon, Johns
town or Cravat will improve enough
to hold Kayak later on.
If Challedon can win the odd
meeting from Johnstown, making it
three out of five, he may be fit
