More and more, the food in U.S. restaurants seems to be going to the dogs -going there in paper sacks called Bowser Bags and Bow-Wow Bags...
Looping the Field. The way he goes about winning makes the victories even gaudier. In July's $100,000 Brooklyn Handicap at Aqueduct, Gun Bow galloped 1¼ miles in 1 min. 593/5 sec.-the fastest mile-and-a-quarter in the history of New York racing. He won by twelve lengths. In the $54,300 Whitney Stakes at Saratoga last month, Gun Bow was unruly in the gate, broke dead last. Charging after the field, he suddenly spotted a leaf on the track, set himself like a steeplechaser approaching a hedge, and jumped. Then he settled down...
...Bow was golden, all right. A sudden summer shower had turned the track at Chicago's Arlington Park slow and sloppy-but that did not bother him a bit.

Last year he won six races and a respectable $41,292. Faced with...
...took Gun Bow just three trips to the track to win back his purchase price. A victory in the San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita last January was worth $26,125; the C. H. Strub Stakes brought in $87,500 more and the San Antonio Handicap added another $36,200. But that was just the beginning. So far this year, Gun Bow has accounted for seven major stakes and swelled his bankroll...
