Smart Horse Trader The truth of it is that Shannon II breats a record today and loses a race tomorrow, with the result that Leslie Combs, head of the purchasing syndicate, prefers to keep his new charge out of competition.

Combs is a smart horse-trader. He has been the purchasing agent for Elizaljeth Arden's Maine Chance Farm and he has dominated Kentucky racing as a member of the racing commission. What baffles horsemen is that he would scratch Shannon II against Citation when even a defeat against this super-horse would not have hurt Shannon II as a breeding stallion.
