The horse that had run badly In Its firs t A m erican s ta rt two weeks ago was another horse in the San G abriel Stakes. • • • About W indy City II A A few m inutes before the Iris h ru n n e r’ s w ild gallop I had asked Ben Jones about H ill G all. " In fine shape." Ben and J im m y said . . . "H e is a d iffe re n t horse now.” B ut Windy City i l . w ith A rca ro up, came on a w ild m a rch down the stretch to beat A Gleam by three lengths and H ill G a il by six lengths In te r rific tim e o ver a tra c k none too fast. He ran the seven furlongs in a shade over 1.22. I t was the way W indy C ity I I turned the tric k th a t counted. He was running away fro m the fie ld when he passed the w ire.

W indy C ity I I was badly confused in his firs t race at Santa A nita. "N o w onder,” some horseman said. "H e re ’ s an Iris h horse dis covered by an A m erican Scot, sold to a Dutch-bred fa m ily , trained by W. F. A lvarado, ridden by an Ita l ian. groomed by a negro.” Anyw ay, there was no Russian around.
