Dm4 Una en cianiflad Altai B:90 p.m. for following day. 10 a.m. Monday for Monday; boob Saturday for Sunday a.m. Tucson, Ariz. (U.R) The wild, wild west Is getting so tame that even horse racing has become re spectable. Time was when two gun-totlng ranchers would match their prize stock ponies in a race and do anything short of shooting each other to win. Nothing was bared, not even the use of dope, and individual stakes were as high as $10,000. But not any more, pahdnah. That sort of thing went out when the custom-built 10-gallon nat came in. The races are strictly on the level, even with women jockeys riding some of the mounts. They're so honest, in fact, that horse racing has become fun for the whole family, Including the horses. Family Gathers Come Sunday morning, maw packs a box lunch, the family is loaded into the station wagon, and the prize ranch horse, cheat ed out of his day of oat-munching rest, is put on a trailer and hauled to the track, on a ranch outside Tucson. A reporter visited "Churchill Downs" of Arizona during a stop over on the inaugural flight of American airlines new $110 transcontinental air coach serv ice. Here on the cactus-studded desert, ranches hope to establish an annual sweepstakes as big as the Kentucky Derby, the Preak ness and the Belmont Stakes. The 10th annual speed trials and world championship quarters are being run now. But they re not going to do it with thoroughbreds. That's sissy stuff to the dungaree-clad mil lionaire sportsmen who roll their own cigarettes. They're using the hardy stock that's been here since 1800 and never has been replaced by the automobile. Horses Not Delicate The horses out this way aren't delicate like those In the east and far west. They're what is known as quarter horses horses that run their best when the dis tance is limited to a straight stretch of a quarter of a mile, and man! how they can go. Weekdays many of the racing ponies have to work for their hay. They are used in the herd ing and roping of oattle. They aren't pampered like city slicker thoroughbreds, and anyone can get on them and have a smooth ride, providing he know how to stay on a horse in the first plaoe. When a quarter-horse's racing days are over, it isn't put out to pasture the way thoroughbreds are. It goes, back to work full time on the ranch or becomes a riding horse. Sport Spreading Ranchers hereabouts Ilka to hear Tucson called the "capital of quarter horse racing." The sport wasn't really organized un til 10 years ago, but it has spread to almost all of the neighboring states. Up until about 1840, quarter- horse racing was held on an in formal basis just one rancher's horse against another's. Then horse owners started organizing two-day meets and ran a full card of ponies. 0N QUART -sCT t, jr I 11 Sip Of MO I L One is wort Guild Wine 00 words! WIN!
