C-3 Proper Start Vital to Winning of Horse Race, Says Noted Rider FAULTY GETAWAY BEAT MAN 0'WAR ‘Red’ So Strong, Says Sande, He Felt Helpless to Command Him. BY EARLE SANDE. ! HE public seems to get a lot of | pleasure out of watching the | starts of races. They like races | that start directly in front of | the grandstand. At the Kentucky | Derby and other big races, there is| always a large crowd gathered around the gate, although in some of these | races those who | E see the start can- | not see the finish, | The start has| been “the fin-| ish” of many| an 8-5 shot. It was a start— | a poor one —| that orought | about the only defeat in the re- | markable career of Man O' War. I think “Red” was the best horse that I ever had the pleasure of riding. I rode him at Saratoga when | he was a 3-year-old, in the Kenner Stakes. I 1emember very well the | sense of helplessness that I felt when | I was thrown up on him. He was so much more powerful than any other | horse I ever had sat on. 5 E ¥ Earl Sande. Felt Horse in Command. FELT that if he should take a| notion to run off, I have about as| much chance of holding him as 1i would have had of holding an ele-‘ phant a foot away from a bale of hay. I remember asking Mr. Riddle if he wanted me to let him run so as to break the track record. He said,| *No, just let him canter around.” This | I did. And yet I found on my return to the stand he had equalled the track record. | Man O’ War won 20 out of 21 starts &nd set a whole flock of track, Ameri- can and world records. He was rarely out of a pull, winning most of his races from start to finish. And yet even Man O’ War was not quite up to overcoming the disadvantages of a bad getaway. That was in the Sanford Memorial | Stakes as a 2-year-old in 1919 at Baratoga. Man O’ War was turned side- wise at the barrier in that race. That left him far back and he was shut off a couple of times during the running. That wouldn't have happened had he gotten off with his field. When he finally got a chance to run it was too late. He was beaten about a head. It is not hard to remember the name of the only horse that ever beat Man O’ War—Upset. Australian Barrier Introduced. F COURSE, Man O' War's case is just one of thousands. This race showed how important the start is, when the best horse in the world was beaten by a bad one. At that time the old-fashioned single-strand rubber webbing barriers were in use every- where. Finally the stall gates were invented. Now we also have the Aus- | tralian barrier. It is a new barrier in America, although it has been used suc- cessfully abroad for many years. In England and Australia fields of 25 and 30 horses are started from this gate. The Australian barrier has six strands of heavy rope. No horse can break through it. And no boy who 4s in a hurry can “beat the gate.” | I believe it will be possible to make many walk-up starts with the Aus- tralian barrier. Perhaps I should ex- plain that in walk-up starts the horses are lined up a few yards back of the barrier and then walk up to the ma- | chine in line. When they reach the gate together the starter releases the | barrier and they're off. ‘Walk-up Relieves Strain. THE walk-up start is better than the standing start, because when horses break while in motion there | is not so much strain on their legs| as when they break from a standing Pposition. The barrier is as much a problem as the camera. It seems odd there are so many dead heats now, there being as many as three or four on| one racing program. Before the camera there weren't as many in a year. __Jockeys have a lot to remem- ber nowadays. The inside posi- tion is the best one to start from, but the outside position seems to be the most desirable in the camera finishes. It all comes out rather even in the end. | (Copyright.
