( HAI'TEK XIV For six minor races during the Santa Anita meeting Heather went through the ordeal of watching Knight Errant beaten.. Faithfully the fans continued to hack the colt in the betting, feeling each time that "this la the day.” After each defeat. Heather told herself she had made a mistake In turning her colt over to Ba-sitt'a care Must she sit hark helpless and at the mercy of this man* Hut each time Bassitt had a ready answer for Knight Errant's defeat “Just givt him time. He’s green. Hell learn " Others beside Heather were having their troubles at Santa Anita. With Slim and Snapper it was sometimes chicken and sometime/, feathers, but at the windup of this meeting it was distinctly just the feathers. Ns matter how badly things broke, they never caught Sinn with hi* wardrobe out of line, however. It was unfortunate that the same could not be said of Stia bankroll. "W's'v* got ju-,t enough to get Cold Cream, F’asie and ourselves out of town and north to Bay Mead ows," Slim told Snapper aa the season closed. • * * s Slim Maynard was glad to be hack at Boy Meadows Nestled in the lush lowlands of the San Francisco peninsula. it* compact clubkouv and grandstand had a “humey” atmuaphere that most track* lacked, ha thought San Franciscans knew that tips wer# th* cheapest thing* you could g*t on a race track and consequently mapper did not enjoy ao large and trusting a clientele aa at Santa Anita. Heather was stopping with an aunt in Piedmont, but her small roadster flashed faithfully over th* bay bridge and down the Bayihor* highway daily to keep an eye on Knight Errant. * Each lime Knight Errant went to the post. Heather went to the mutual window. And each bias another five dollar hill, with ita aura of perfume from her purse, went into genaral circulation. For Knight Errant was still a non-winner. Slim had watched each of Knight Erran t last half doaen races closely. He had seen the little coal black two-year-old overmatched against older horses. And through hi* glaum be bad watched Knight Errant get pocketed and slammed around in race* of hi* ewn division, the onmt la which he figured to just mnuie home on the rhinalrap He taw th* chesty Util* jockey. Dimples Draper, ride Knight Errant atrocious!*, and knew th* hoy was capable of doing better.

A friend stopped him on the way. “How about this thing Knight Errant in here, Slim, hasn’t he got a chance?” “Not today” Slim warned. The off bell rang! Slim trained ius glasses on th* bach stretch for the start of the five-eighths mil* •print. He saw Knight Errant leave th* barra-r full of run. But at Uve far turn .., Hs saw the colt fighting fur his head aa Dimple* Draper Kad him under a choking pulL And when the race was ended he put down hi* glasses thoughtfully . . . Speeding back U> Fan Frar.circo on the Southern Pacific special after the race. Snapper remarked that he couldn’t do anything right any more. ~Laat night I bet a dog named Dash O’F ire at Baden," Snapper explaiaed. "He was out m front on the backatretch when what do you think happened?" "I don’t know, hut it was something awful, I bet," Slim replied, eyeing Snapper auspiciously. "Yeah, some monkey back of the fence to»u-d a cat on the track and Dash O’Kire wound up chasing the kitty instead of the rabbit " Slim resignedly peeled off a twenty and asked Snapper to make it stretch until the end of the week. "Did you are th* light* on th* P*t# board flash Knight Errunt’s closing odds, six to one, this afternoon?” j Slim asked. "That’* the highest price he’s, been In any of his ten races to date. It won’t he long now. The odds are cherry ripe for Bassitt’s liking He’ll ju*t about rrack down with Knight Errant in the next race." Snapper glowed with anuopaturn. "And will w* he aboard!” “Well rid* right along with Baasit.” Slim answered, and he <!e- ] termined to wait another race before confronting Heather with the : facta. Anxiously, Slim Maynard watched for Knight Efant’s name to appear on the list rJ starter* a* ) Bay Meadows. Arid thia morning when be aaw Charlie Bassitt run nmg hi* hawk ayaa over a set of *n tries at the racing '-fire and looking even more smug than usual. Slim’* suspicions ware aroused They wer* confirmed a moment later when Slim looked for himself to discover that Knight Errant was a starter la th* irat race th* following day. Slim had a good line «o every Z-year-old on the ground* and. aa h* looked ever the kind of horse* Knight Errant was matched with here, his judgment told him it was just th* sort of a race Baasitt would pick for Knight Errant to win. He based thia conclusion on th* (net that among the twelve starters was a mar* named Desert Firefly. She had won tv# straight and Flint fait certain th* public would play her heavily. Inevitably the fan* --ad* a horan with a winning streak like this a wort-priced favorite. This **» lust what Baa*tu would want, Slim reasoned. It would help hih* th* odd* on Knight Errant. But Slim knew Desert Firwffy couldn’t even warm Kr.igbt Errant up if Bassitt would just let Heath «?» black «h run far fataway money and datanalnad I
