History Favors Horse
9 Years Old 10 Win
Aintree Classic
Age Appears Just Right
For Full Development
Of SteepIechoser
By the Associated Press,


AINTREE, England, March 23.-
The experts say Dorothy Paget's Kill
star or H. C. McNally's Royal
Daniel, both 8-year-olds, will win
the Grand National tomorrow. but
the history of this witchs gamble
favors the 9~year-olds.
Since the war, seven 9-year-olds
have scrambled over the final Jump
and won the race, and five other
9-year-olds are being watched care
fully this time.
This years five are Sir Alexander
Maguires Workman. Lord Bicester
Rockquilla. A. Donns Dominick's
Cross. Mrs A. mith-Bingl/
Brendans Cottage and Sir w. Chill
colts Dunhill Castle.
Best at Age of 2.
Trainers gathering for tomorrow's
classic explain this 9-year old busi-
ness is not just lucky theory, but
that 9 actually is the age at which a
staying chaser is at his best.
Trainers are superstitious about
these things. For example, they
point out that Poethlyn, the 1919
winner. at 9 years was one of the
four horses in history to win with
the maximum handicap of ITS
pounds. Yet the next year. with the
same weight. the same jockey and
favored at to /, he fell at the first
fence
Music Hall was the next 9-year-
| old to win. In 1922 he went to the
post with knee swollen twice
normal size, but he beat field of
80. Double Chance. which won in
1925, proved to be troublesome as
fiat racer and was thought to be
finished. but at years old he devel-
oped into an extraordinary jumper
and led the National field.
Jack Horner Surprises.
The following year A. C. Schwartz.
an American, came over just before
the National and told his trainer
to buy lightweight candidate. The
trainer looked first at the 9-year-
olds and finally bought Jack Horner,
which was one of the Grand Ma
tionals most surprising winners.
Other 9-year-olds to win since
the war were Gregalach 1929,
Grakle l93n and Reynoldstown
1886, which also won as an
8-year-old.
On this evidence YOU cannot keep
the experts from believing that the
9-year-olds this year. more than
any group. appear to have the build
and experience to master Aintrees
