Only Seven Starters
Likely Saturday in
Santa Anita Handicap
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

ARCADIA, Calf, Feb. "a
Apparently only seven horses are
going to try for the 100000
added Santa Anita Handicap
Saturday.
The big name horses, Mark
Ye-Well and Intent, have fright
ened out the owners and trainers
Of several that figured a few
weeks ago as likely starters. On
the basis of his last start, when
he finished out Of the money,
Intent doesn't stack up along
side Mark-Ye-Well, the Calumet
Farm ace. Sass.
The question about Intent
seems to be whether he's really
fit for the mile-and- -one-quartey
test. He had been unraced since
last summer when he made his
debut at Santa Anita a few
weeks back and won handily, but
he wasn't the same horse when
he blew his prep for the big
handicap.
Trusting Consistent.
The u horse that may give
Mark-Ye-Well competition is
Trusting, a full brother of the
great California-bred, On Trust.
Trusting has been a most con-
sistent racer at just about any
distance. He can sprint and he
can go a route, but he has been
an invariable second money
horse, and with Mark-Ye-Well
in the race, Trusting is going to
have to run over his head to get
better than second place.
Other probable starters in
clude Stranglehold, Blue Read
ing, Don Rebelde and First
Glance.
Correspondent, the $4,000
colt that ran such a splendid
race in the 900 Santa Anita
Derby last Saturday, finishing
two noses behind Chanlea, isn't
going to challenge Mark-Ye-
Well this week end.
I'VE named him on the chance
1t might turn out to be an easy
field" Trainer Wally Dunn said,
"but you certainly couldn't call
this one easy"
Correspondent was a maiden
when the weights for the handi-
cap were allotted last December
and drew only 100 pounds, but
Dunn thinks Intent will be right
and that Mark-Ye-Well poses a
tremendous barrier for his colt.
He's high on Correspondent,
though, and hopes to have him
right for the Kentucky Derby.
Correspondents owner, Mrs.
Gordon Guiberson, said the
horse will be shipped to
Churchill Downs about two
weeks after the meeting here
ends. Merryman's owners said
they will enter him, too.
Johnny Longden, who is to
