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...

Right end Bob-Champion is also a doubtful starter, but the chances are that he will see considerably more action than will Flynn...
...Tobacco is Cullman's business, investing in shows merely a hobby-but it has become high finance as well because he has gimlet theatrical eyes and no Achilles' tendon. Neither stagestruck, girl-crazy, art-mad nor long-shot-minded, he backs shows simply because he thinks they will pay off. The fun lies in the fact that they can pay off at astronomical rates...

Last week, in his first race since pulling a tendon in his heel three months ago, Rice beat his nearest rival over two miles by 55 yards. But his time was not unusual...
