Although not attempting to build | up an alibi jn advance for the; Australian champion, Woodcock is| certain Phar Lap will not be thc “wonder horse” of Australia, where | he won 36 of his 50 starts and| $282,220. Here's what he writes: “Since arriving in the United| States and Mexico, we have had nothing but cold, wet weather. This has had a detrimental effect upon Phar Lap. As we only had nine | weeks in which to prepare him for | the handicap, you can see it wmi be nearly impossible to get him in excellent conditilon by the 20th of March. “We are certain that in this short time, he will not be up to his real Australian form.” Shakes Cold A slight cold slowed up Phar Lap's training and was partially responsible for his cancellation of | e the proposed $10,000 special race between the foreigner, Dr. Free- land, Marine and Plucky Play Phar Lap has shaken off practi- cally all of the ailment now, how- ever, and is showing improvement in his workouts. Upon Phar Lap’s showings in the Mexican feature depends whether he will be shipped east for a crack at Twenty Grand and Mate. If he does invade the strongholds of the American runners, Arlington Park, with three rich stakes for older horses, appears to be the likely spot. Entries for practically all important early eastern handi- caps have closed. No future plans have been made as yet, however, according to Wood- cock. “It all depends upon his form here,” said Woodcock writing from Agua Caliente. Twenty Grand Goes Out Twenty Grand, generally’ rated the stand-out three-year-old of 1931, was put under saddle recently for the first time in five months. | Mrs. His leg, which he injured whiie breezing at Havre De Grace last fall, apparently is as sound as ever.
