The case | of Seabiscuit is one of the excep- |- tions. Fitzsimmons was training the WIMBLEDON, Eng., July 24— horse for the Wheatly stables when | he Seabiscuit had bad legs and was going no place in particular. So the thoroughbred was sold to Charles S. Howard at the Saratoga Springs sales last August for some- thing 1 than $7,060 Howard took Seabiscuit to Cali-| fornia and there Trainer Tommy | Smith developed him into a winner. Last year Seabiscuit went to the post 23 times, winning nine times, placing once and showing in five races to win $28,995. Most of the money was earned in Howard's col- ors. Campaigning 1n California the early part of this year Seabiscuit won four out of six starts. He was beaten by a nose by Rosemont in the $100,000 Santa Anita Handicap. Howard seat the 4-year-old east. In his first eastern start — the Brooklyn Handicap—Seabistuit beat Aneroid in a photo finish to take first and bring his winnings for the year up to $64,000. In the Brooklyn, Seabiscuit re- versed the decision Rosemont gain- ed over him in California. Rose- mont failed to run in the money. Now that Discovery has been re- tired, the handicap division is without a champion. Seabiscuit looks like a potential successor to the title and may prove his claim before the season is out. He fs| slated to go to the post in the $20,-| 000 Butler Stakes and, with several other fair-size purses beckoning bim on, Seabiscuit may run his| winnings over the $100,000 mark. | - !
