Challedon 1913.
GETS THE WORKS
No horse can carry more than
100 in the Santa Anita, so Bis
cult got the works. Each extra
pound of lead means length in
a race a mile and a quarter long,
so top weight was the greatest
tribute any racing secretary
could pay any great handicap

drew equal weight for age, but
the Biscuit ranked them a full
pound better.
Now the horse must carry his
load. He has handled $50 pounds
before and come home breeding.

first workout was a good one,
there are heap more workouts
before he ever reaches the silver

biscuit may have been down
three times-he has never been
counted out.
