IHsh-Bred Coneyburrow Heads
Small Field in Grand National

Writers and fans have been
saying all winter that the field
this year is a poor one. the fences
are too high. it costs too much
to breed. train and enter a Ma
tional horse, and weights should
be lowered, especially on true
class horses such as Mont Trem-
blant.
Still Tops in Steeplechasing.
But despite howls and COM
plants, the Grand National re-
mains the first race in steeple-
chasing and a spectacle de luxe.
Nobody will ever know how
many people see the race because
there can be no count. But the
turnout surely will top 100000
and be something under 100000
that is, if you count the thou
sands who jump the fence or
steal a peak from banks sur
rounding the track just north of
Liverpool.
Maybe the race this year won't
be as classy as usual, but that
will matter little to the man in
the stands or the holder of a
"ten-bob" ($1.4O ticket. They
hardly will be able to tell the
difference.
The best horse seldom wins a
Grand National anyway. He US
ually is loaded down with saddle
lead and the jockey for the
rugged haul twice around the stiff
course. Lesser horses will run
with as little as 140 pounds.
ConeyburrOw Fills Bill.
Checking weights. ages. sizes
Of National winners since 1889
shows it is best to bet on an I'M
usually large or 9-year-old
carrying between 148 and 1853
pounds. Mares have won, and so
have small horses. But they have
been few.
Coneyburrow fits neatly into the
average winners statistics. He
will carry ISL. He's big and he
is 8 years old. Besides. he runs
well at Aintree. Coneyburrow won
the Grand Seton chase over part
Of the Grand National course last
November.
And besides. the fact that
Coneyburrow is Irish always
seems to help at Aintfee.
