ATCHISON'S
ANGLE
BY LEWIS =. ATcHIsoN

The start of another of those
kentucky Derby yarns may have
been unfolded at Jamaica last
week when a first-time starter
named Ironman Roget won a
five-furlong dash for 2-year-olds
by 10 lengths.
Ironman sports the colors of
Shamrock Stable. owned by Art
Rooney. the poker-faced Irish
man who also owns the Pitts
burgh Steelers pro football team.
The colt is named for Fran
Rogel. the Steelers' durable full
back. for whom Rooney has a
deep and abiding esteem.
Arts admiration for his ball
players and associates takes
various guises. He loaned Ernie
Stautner money to start an out
door movie at Lake Placid. N. Y,
and business was so good from
the start the hefty tackle hasn't
reported on time to training
camp since. 1t may be because
of this that Art decided his
respect could be expressed just
as well by naming horses after
the boys, or by passing out
cigars.
Ironman Rogel, the colt. re-
versed the Stautner procedure.
According to a reliable source.
close to the Shamrock barn, he
was supposed TO be in the ia
maica race only for schooling.
I'VE were all waiting to see
how he went" said the source,
"but he skipped a few grades and
graduated before We realized it"
The pay-off. $40 for 81, is
mute testimony that the colt
caught everybody mapping.
But there's more to the IRON
man Roget story. He's by Royal
GeE1 II, also sire Of Dark Star
who upset the great Native
Dancer-giving the champ the
only defeat Of his brief but
illustrious career--in the 1885,
Kentucky Derby.
The colt was bred by Charlie
Jones, an old friend of Rooney's

Bold Ruler is a handsome dark

Bold Ruler set a stake record OF
