Says Elizabeth Arden: "A beautiful horse is like a beautiful woman." An ugly horse doesn't stay long in Arden's barn, even if he can outrun Satan. About two mornings a week she shows up at the track to make sure her "darlings" don't get too much fresh air, or too little. She worries about flies biting them, and orders screens.
