1t won't be long before votes are
taken to name the outstanding horse
of l94l, and Alsab must be reckoned
with, although he's only years old
and must compete in balloting with
fellow named Whirlaway.
Whirlaway, 3-year-old champion,
triple crown winner and leading
money-earner of l94l. seems cur
rently to have big edge for the
horse of the wear" title, but he has
retired for the season, while Alsab
still is going strong.
Special Would Be True Test.
Alsab's bid for the national cham
pionship appears to hinge on the
Pimhco Special October 30. He has
been invited to race against older
horses in this event. but his owners.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert SABBATH of
Chicago, have not yet accepted for
him.
If he goes in the Special, Alsab
will face such campaigners as
Market Wise, Big Pebble and
Fenelon. To defeat such horses at
mile and three -Sixteenths would add
greatly to Alsab's prestige.
There's real precedent, too. for
the winner OF the Special to be ac-
claimed as horse OF the year"
Previous winners, War Admiral
Seabiscuit and Challedon, all were
champions in their day.
