Last week, the two met for the first time, in the Narragansett Special. The weights were Armed 130, Lucky Draw 123. Completely recovered from the bad tendon that kept him out of action all last year, Lucky Draw came home in 1:543/5 to equal Challedon's world record for a mile and three-sixteenths. Armed ran third, almost four lengths behind. The question of which would be the "horse of the year" would be decided-at even weights-in November's Pimlico Special...

...Challedon to Champagne. Before the Gold Cup race last fortnight, Frenchy told his jockey: "If she is going to lose, I want her to lose running my way."

From California came Charles S. (Seabiscuit) Howard's Mioland and William L. Brann's Challedon, who between them have copped over $500,000 of the turf's purses. There was Market Wise, the rags-to-riches son of Broker's Tip, who has put fabulous profits into his owner's pocket. There was Attention, a worthy son of the late, great Equipoise; and young Alsab, who had won more than $100,000 in one year of racing. Never before had a winter classic attracted such an all-star field. It was also an unusually large...
...conservative Knoedler Gallery gave its second floor over to animal Society. The Society portraitist was pretty, petite, 28-year-old June Harrah, who sculps likenesses of champion dogs and race horses for the doggy and horsy set. Sculptress Harrah's deft statuettes (of such equestrian nobility as Seabiscuit, Challedon and Jadaan, the grey stallion ridden by the late Rudolph Valentino in The Son of the Sheik) excited horse-& dog-lovers, also brought high marks from many a high-brow art critic. Daughter of a gentleman rancher who founded the town of Harrah, Wash., June Harrah also likes animals better...
