Entry y Said To Be Backed
- By Mussolini
Glitound to to Represent America in Event Which Involves $10,000 Bet.
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer TOLEDO, O., June 7.—It certainly seems fitting that the champion race horse owned by Benito Mussolini, the Roman strong boy, is named Muscletone. It's a fact. If this keeps up we'll soon be hearing about the racing strings of Adolf ‘Hitler, Gen. Franco and even Stanley Baldwin, all boasting horses with names like
Paperhanger,|
Cannon Fodder or Duenna. These last will have to step, though if they want to keep up with Mussolini's M us cletone, because he's the greatest trotting horse in Europe } today. Furthermore he's coming over here this ‘summer for a race with E. J. Baker’'s Greyhound, the American champion. It will be the first international match race in the-his-tory of American trotting. A $10,000 side bet already has been posted by both owners. It sounds terrific and may even start a war—who knows? . Muscletone is listed in the books as belonging to Givo Maiani, a Milan racing man and the party who faded Mr. Baker's $10,000 bet. In Italy, however, higher authorities whisper smugly that good old Givo is merely the “front”—a sawdust ‘Caesar, so to speak—and that Muscletone’s feed bill is paid by II Duce himself. At any rate Muscletone
Williams
and Greyhound have been matched |
to meet in, America this summer with the understanding there will be a return engagement next year, either in Milan or Paris. Turfdom Adither Turfdom’s buggy whip circuit is ‘all adither over this situation and there is much speculation as to where ‘the race will be staged. The dope is that any track which will put up a $10,000 guarantee and is suitable to both owners can have it. This_glarantee should be a minor matter, However, for if properly handled, the race would draw a gate between $50,000 and $100,000. This is no corn tassel carnival and really deserves big time attention. As a matter of fact it would be a wow at Belmont Park if the Bostwicks. Gerrys, Harrimans and other wealthy trotting enthusiasts would put it on in the name of charity. Greyhound is here in Toledo now being put through an intehsive training campaign by Septer Faith Palin—the name of his trainer and not to be confused with the motto of the U. 8. Marine Corps. He is typical of all the shrewd ancients who belie their~age by scorching around the nation’s country tracks in sulkies hauled by trotters. Sep thinks Greyhound, a son of Guy Abbey-Elizabeth, is the 'g eatest trotter of modern times. Close to Record Last August at Springfiel Greyhound trotted a mile in That was just one-half second] away from Peter Manning's world record of 1:56%1, set 15 years ago. reyhound was unbeaten in eight |starts as a 3-year-old, winning gmong other stakes the famous Hambletonian at Goshen. Last year he won his first five starts. Then in his | sixth ‘he was asked to trot on a half--mile track under rather odd conditions. He won one heat and then lost another to a horse named Angel Child. This occurred on E. Roland Harriman’s historic track at Goshen. Palin withdrew him from the third heat and the race was never setfled. He is five years old now and E: American record has not -been en approached in the last few years. Muscletone also is an AmerfcanBred horse but his record on this side does not compare with that of Greyhound: Palin insists, however, that Muscletone has improved tremendously since heing shipped abroad. Muscletone was bred on the Coldstream Stud Farm of C. B. Shaffer at Lexington, Ky., by Mr. McElwyn out of Ruth M. Chenault. Dr. Hugh M. Parshall, of Urbana, Ill, was his trainer and driver in America. Dr. Parshall won the 1934 Hambletonian driving Lord Jim. Darryl Parshall, his brother, finished second with Muscletone. Princess Peg, the third horse, was driven by Sep Palin himself, so the old timer knows all about the tricks of Mussolini's horse.
