Even Wild West Drops Its Toughness
When Horse Racing Started in Area

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since 1800 and never has been
replaced by the automobile.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.
