"Knight Errant was born the
same month Coronado died,"
Heather explained.
And when she related how she
had Just arrived, that Knight
Errant was outside in the van.
and asked for stable room,
Everett told her she should have
wired weeks ago for stall space.
"There are 1,200 horses on
the grounds," he told her, "aud
Knight Errant is Just one of four
hundred 2-year-olds to be ac
commodated with stalls. Who's
your trainer?"
"Trainer? Why, I guess I am,"
she stammered, wondering if
Everett thought she had a circus
lion or something out in the
van. "I I've Just brought Knight
Errant from the farm. Must he
have a'trainer?"
"You can't Just wind him up
and let him run," Everett smiled.
W hen he explained that the
state racing laws required every
horse to have a licensed trainer.
she felt relieved.
' Then I'll buy a license. How
much is it?"
"It isn't that easy. Miss Mills,
Everett explained.
"You'll have to see Mr. Roy
Carruthers, the presiding steward,
about that. He's pretty touchy
about granting a trainer's license
to a woman, too."
Then Everett told her to come
around the first of the week when
the rush of the Santa Anita
opening was out of the way, and
ne would do his best to find
room for her horse.
Heather thanked him. But she
was close to tears. Slim, stand

Should he risk speaking to her?
Maybe there s something I
can do." said a voice behind her.

He was one in a million, old

Disarmed by the fine words of
praise for her father, Heather
smiled rather dolefully.
"Mind if I take a look at your
colt? Bassitt pursued.
I was a great admirer of his
sire, saw him run many a great
race. If he's anything like his
daddy, Coronado, he'll sure be
pippin."
Heather was not sophisticated
enougfc to analyze the gleam in
Bassitt's eyes at the mention of
Coronado.
bhe did not notice the sar
donic glance Slim, listening,
gave the unctuous Bassitt.
She was glad to hear, in all
this masculine clamor, a friendly
voice that seemed to come from
old Dan.

It was with the feeling that

Healther left the Santa Anita
