No “Deadheads.” BY FRANK H. KING. INTREE, England, March 23. —The ninety-fourth Grand National Steeplechase, tobe run here tomorrow over 412 imiles of green English turf, stud- ded with 30 - hedges, dangerous ditches and water jumps, by a fleld of 30-odd high jumping horses, promises spectacular sport gnd perhaps an American victory. ‘With nine American-owned chasers among the starters, one of them Amer- fcan-bred, Trouble Maker, the odds by sheer numbers are better for an Amer- fcan triumph than in recent years. ©Odds of any sort, nearly a century of Aintree hurdle racing shows, aren’t worth much in & race where the only certainty is uncertainty. Trouble Maker’s challenge isn't taken riously in England. A win by Mrs. ? H. Somerville's big hunter would be Bs sensational as the last, and only {American home-bred national victory, by Rublo, in 1908. A part of Rubio’s training was pulling the old hotel bus at Towcaster. Although foaled California, Rubio was owned by an glishman. TWO Americans have won the Na- tional in the last 10 years, Stephen Sanford with 13-yenr-old Berxelm TR horses were British bred. Both won from small fields, Sergeant Murphy rom 28 starters, Jack Horner from 30. ot since Jack Horner's victory has the Aintree field been' so small as for tomorrow’s renewal. J. H. Whitney's Dusty Foot and Mrs. C. 8. Bird's Heartbreak Hill, nimble Irish mare, probably are the best of the American-owned jumpers. Whitney entered five, but scratched Lone Eagle, ‘Thomond II and Royal Ransom and Bold Slater leaving Dusty Foot to sus- tain his interest in the classic. The other American owners and horses are M. D. Blair's Ballyhanwodd, F. Ambrose Clark’s Chadd’s Ford and Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark's Kelisboro; J. A. Drake’s blsn!"mnch leaper, Coup de | Chapeau, & record; J. B. Snow's Delaneige, and Jess Metcall’s Theras. 'HREE National winners will be in the going, Forbra, an outsider that won last year; Shaun Goilin and Gregalach. Only Sea Soldier, the Amer- fcan horse of the 1932 fleld, of all last year’s finishers will not start tomorrow. Golden Miller, owned by Miss Dorothy Paget, making its Grand National debut ®fter sweeping the steeplechase fleld vic- toriously, and Gregalach have been the favorites at odds of 9-1. Other betting on leading horses is: Heartbreak Hill and Egremont, 20 to 1; Remus, 23 to 1; Annandale and Delaneige, 25 to 1 Pelorus Jack, 28 to 1; Near East, For- bra, Merriment IV and Kellsboro Jack, 33 to 1, and Theras and Coup de Cha- pean, 40 to 1. 1f the weather is fine, 150,000 or more will see the Grand National, and most of them will pay at least a few shillings for the sight. The last free inclosure, the scction of the Liverpool and Leeds Canal bank from Blue Anchor Bridge to the grandstand- overlooking Valentines Brook, has been boarded up and fitted ‘with turnstiles. After nearly 100 years all the knot- holes around the course have been chinked, and 1933 will see the first “all pay” National, MRS. HAYNES LOSES NORTH-SOUTH MATCH Beaten by Helen Waring, 4 and 3.
