Trainer -Says Silky
Most Relaxed obi Race Track
Br HAL WOOD
United Press Spoits Writer
Albany, Calif. IF The
big chestnut glamor horse,
Silky Sullivan, was leaning
against the wall in his stall,
mooching carrots and sugar
lumps from the passers-by.
He looked about as ready
to run as any plow horse.
"Don't let that fool you,"
said trainer Reggie Cornell.
"He's relaxed only until he
gets onto the race track. This
is a. running horse.
"But around the stable he's
as friendly as an old shoe."
Silky was standing there
with his eyes half closed. A
groom was putting wrappings
around his legs. Soon a black
smith came by to look at the'
shoes. Silky looked him over,
then went back to dozing.
The blacksmith pulled the far
away back leg across Silky's

stomach to look at it from
the wrong side. Silky went
on munching.
It's hard to believe that this
is the big boy called "Mr.
Cardiac." He has given his
followers more exciting mo
ments than any horse in re
cent years. His worshippers
are like a cult. He can do no
wrong. Even if he is 50
lengths behind the leaders as
he sometimes is, they still
have faith that he'll win and
most of the time he does, if
the distance is a mile or more.
Least Excited
When he gets to Churchill
Downs next week to start
prepping for the Kentucky
Derby, he'll be the least ex
cited animal and this includes
humans in Louisville.
He loves cameramen and
the flash of lights doesn't
even cause him to flicker an
eyelid. He loves to nuzzle the
cameras. And if you ever give
him a carrot or a lump of
sugar, he'll pester you to
death every time he sees you.
Standing a full hand higher
than the average horse, he
weighs 1,200 'pounds - about
200 more than most thorough
breds. He is deep through the
chest.
"And he's well-muscled all
over," says Cornell. "But
there is nothing in his breed
ing lines to indicate that he
should be a come-from-behind
horse or one with such re
markable running strength
and staying powers for the
last half mile of a race. We've
trained him as any other
horse in our stable. But I
think he's the best horse I've
ever trained.
Any Rider
"He can win with any rider,
four different jockeys have
won with him and he can
win on any kind of a track.
He's kind of a don't-care fel
low. We've never tried to
hurry him at the start of a
race, but I doubt that he'd
sulk even if we did.
"And we never, have to
worry about the possibility
that he might not feel like
running on a given day. He's
always the same."
Phil Klipstein and Tom
Ross, Silky's owners, are sup
posed to have bad hearts. But
Ross denies this.
"I'm as sound as a dollar,"
says Ross. "I had a stroke in
a plane some .time ago be
cause we took the plane too
high without oxygen. I don't
have a bad heart."
It's just as well. But if there
are any persons with a bad
heart history planning to at
tend the Derby, we can tell
them now: Either stay away
or don't look. Especially if
you have a bet on Silky. He
specializes in heart-stopper
finishes. Win or lose.

High Jumping Dumas Says
He Won't Use USSR Shoe
In 1958 Attempts at Bar
By WILLIAM F. TYREE
United Press Sports Writer
Los Angeles OPV-Charlie
Dumas, the University of Cal
ifornia sophomore who holds
the official world high jump
record, isn't cocky but hopes
some day to clear seven feet,
five inches.
Dumas set the world stan
dard of 7 feet, J2 inches in
the summer of 1956 and. went
on to set an Olympic record
of 6 feet, HVi inches during
the 1956 games. Yuri Stepan
ov of Russia cleared 7 feet
1.2 inches last year but that
leap hasn't been recognized
yet because he used a special
type of shoe on his take-off
foot to provide more spring.
Mental Hazards?
Will Dumas try to surpass
S t e p a n o v's . unrecognized
mark? Are there mental haz
ards when the cross - bar is
placed at seven feet or higher?
"Well, I always try to dot
my best," the good-natured
20-year-old said as he dipped j
in a muscle stretching exer-l
cise that he thinks is better ;
than jumping every day. j
"This kind of training helps
me get my body up where 1 1
want it," he said, twisting al
most in two. "I haven't any
particular aim. I just jump.
But I've worked two .inches
higher every year siiice I
started jumping in theninth
grade.
"I hope I can get up around
7 feet, 5 inches. I don't think
there's any barrier." .
Then, without any warm
up, Dumas cleared a bar set
well above his own six-one
height. He was almost as cas
ual about his preparations
when he surprised the track
world by clearing seven feet.
"I'm ready," was all he said
No Special Shoe
Neither Dumas nor his
coach, Jess Mortensen, are
considering using the kind of
special shoe which has en
abled Stepanov and several
other Russians to make sev
eral outstanding high jumps.
Until the shoe is recog
nized, we won't use it," Mor
tensen said.
But he and Dumas are cer
tain Charlie could go higher
with such an aid.
"No telling where Charlie
might go," Mortensen said.
"He's one of those once-in-a-blue-moon
natural athletes,
similar to Parry O'Brien in
the shotput.
Dumas says he likes plenty
of fans in the' stands when
he competes because "they
make me want to try harder."
