Seabiseuit’s “gallant comeback overshadowed Gallahadion’s sur- prising Kentucky Derby victory, Bimelech’s triumphs in the Preak- ness and Belmont Stakes, and Challedon’s Pitplico Special vic- tory. Turf writers yoted Challe- din the horse-of-the-year fcr the secand time and also the top handicap hosse, named Bimelech as best of the 3-year-olds, and Whirlaway gs the outstanding 2- year-old.

But Seabiscuit’s story was the No. 1 turf yarn of the year. Fig- ured as through after he vulled up lame in an early 1939 race, Seabiscuit was sent back to the farm. They fired his ankles to strengthen them and let him Tromp around the pasture to tough- en himself. And then they asked him to face the barrier again, to try for a victory that would boost his money winnings past Sun Beau’s $376,744. The seven-year-old cam- paigner outfooted a fast field to finish ahead of Kayek I, earn $86,650 and step past Sun Beau’s figure. Then he retired, with laurels enovgh to keep him always in the minds of race goers. Derby Big Upset Gallahadion’s ve Amateur and Professional coal] LEAGUE.
