Fifty thousand hysterical fans saw the rollicking 3-year-old drop the curtain on the race favorite, Seabiscuit, in a head to head battle down the stretch and in a camera finish by a nose Peuipoon Third Pompoon, who shared the prerace favoritism with the great Seabis- cuit, ran third Victory to Stagehand, owned by Maxwell Howard and trained by the ex-jockey king, Earl Sande, brought 191,450 net to the stable and marked the second major triumph of the black and white silks of Howard at the Santa Anita meeting Stagehand won the 150,000 Santa Anita derby February 22 Jockey Nick Wall, flown here from Florida to take stagehand into the race, booted the 3-year-old son of Sickle and Stagecraft over the mile and one quarter in track record time of two minutes one and three- fifths seconds--a mark that has held here since Aiucar won the first Santa Anita handicap in 193S In two minutes two and one-fifth seconds Mob Mad Hysteria knew no bounds as the field of 18 took off over a fast track and under murky skies on the dash for fame and the big purse and as Stagehand, running virtually the same race he turned in in the derby, came up from behind racing wide to challenge Charles Howard a erstwhile handicap king, Sea biscuit as they pounded down the stretch It was a bitter disappointment for Mr Biscuit lost the Santa Anita classic a year ago by a nose to Rosemqnt Stagehand, emerging as a powerful threat to every 3 jear old in the nation, broke Mr Biscuit heart as they pounded toward tho wire Gosum Fourth Jerome Louchheim's Pom poon, rated as "the horse Seabis cult would have to beat ran two lengths or more back of Seabiscuit, I and Gosum, a slightly regarded candidate owned bj still another Howard, Nelson Howard, ran fourth Top Row, A A Baioni's winner of the classic in 1936, apparently broke, down in the gruelling struggle and his racing days were believed ended The Sande entry of Stagehand and Seeneahifter proved the public choice even if It waa more or less disregarded by the handicappers, and two opened on the parimu- tuel board at scant two-to-one favorites Stagehand's victory was worth S3 80 and across the board, while Seabiscuit brought $3.40 and 2 80 Pompoon paid (3 40 The Betting A total of $406,914 was bet on the big race, and the day's total at the end of six races amounted to Here's the way they finished back of Gosum Fifth, Aneroid, sixth, Star Shadow; seventh, Sceneshifter, eighth, Warfellow, ninth, Woodberry, 10th, Frexo, llth, Whlchee, 12th, Amor Brujo, 13th, Count Atlas; 14th, Primulus, 16th, Top Row, Time Supply, 17th, Townsman, and 18th, Ligaroti Stagehand was fifth out of the gate, ninth at the tint quarter, seventh at the half, fourth at the three- quarters and third at the mile. From there on in he passed the pace setter, Aneroid, the fast fading Woodberry and Pompoon, and caught up with the flying Seabis- cuit Too Heavy The Biscuit bounced around at the start was far in the rear down the stretch the first time but made his move down the back stretch and took the lead at the three-quarter pole The Biscuit admirers claimed his top weight of 130 pounds was too much to stack up against the 100 pound package handed Stagehand but on a weight for age basis Stagehand was carrjing plenty of weight Seabiscuit wounds could be salved to some extent bv the $20,000 second place money. Pompoon's stable got $10,000 and Gosum collected $6,000 In addition, Trainer Sande, beam- Ing with pride, won $10,000 put up by the Los Angeles Jockey club for the winning trainer.
