Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

NEW YORK, May 9.-After watch
inng a horse like Johnstown run, it
isn't difficult to understand the
fascination the racing game holds
for such man as William Wood
ward, the banker who owns and
operates the Belair stud.
For the load of money Woodward
has sunk in racing since the bug
first bit him more than 20 years ago
he probably could have bought and
operated an ocean-going yacht,
complete with pennants Maybe he
has yacht. too. But I'll bet he
had more fun out of producing three
Kentucky Derby winners.
To most of the 10000 who watched
the magnificent Johnstown cakewalk
home at Louisville it was an exciting
two minutes. Those who had money
on him, especially in the winter
books, enjoyed every stride of his
majestic progress. But nobody else
saw him through quite the same
eyes as Woodward.
Breeding Woodward's Hobby.
Woodward literally thought up"
Johnstown. There are some wealthy
owners who seek advice from their
trainers and from experts on equine
blood lines in their efforts to pro-
duce great foals. Always they're
seeking the combination of sire and
dam that will bring both speed and
endurance-the superhorse.
Woodward asks no advice of any
one. Breeding is his hobby. It's an
expensive one but. after all, he's pay
ing for it. He decided that the great
sprinter jamestown, bred to the lit
tie broken-hipped filly La France
would result in fine horse. La
France never had run a run, but
Woodward knew there was endur-
ance in her blood. The colt, Of
course, was Johnstown. You see how,
maybe, how Woodward felt when he
stood out there Saturday and
watched them put the roses around
his big horses neck.
"All he ever tells me-" says old
Jim Fitzsimmons, who trains the
Woodward string, "is to keep ~
eyes out for sires with plenty of
speed. He says he will attend tx
getting the right kind of blood. 1t
took him a long time and lot Of
money to reach his present posi-.
ton, where he's a steady threat to
win every big race here and in Eng
land. He went two years once with
out a single winner. But he's get
ting his reward now in horses like
Gallant Fox, Omaha and Johns
town.
Johnstown Happy Freak.
Fitz hastened to explain that he
didn't mean Woodward ever would
catch up with the game financially.
He's been exceptionally fortunate
in having several big winners lately
and Johnstown will put many an
other dollar in the Woodward treas
urv before he's through. But Fitz
says these big purses only cut down
the deficit of the years. 1t costs
woodward approximately 5000 q
month to maintain his stable, Fitz
estimates.
In build, Fitz says, Johnstown is
something of a happy freak. He is
broad across the chest and has
other characteristics OF q sprinter,
vet also has the long, flowing lines
of the distance runner. It is, to
say the least, an unusual comolna-
ton.
"Sunny Jim" doesn't like to say
for sure yet, but he suspects Johns
town is q greater horse than either
Gallant Fox or Omaha.
"The way he sprinted IN that
first quarter mile Of the Derby he
would have gained eight lengths on
either one Of thern," he said. How.
