CHENANGO DESTROYED Special Cablegram WROUGHTON, England. Chenango, the champion hurdle racer of the 1934-1935 National Hunt season, met with a fatal accident while at exercise with trainer Ivor Anthonys string at Wroughton recently. Chenango, bred in England by Sir William Cooke, was a bay eight-year-old unsexed son of Hapsburg and Will Return. He was sold as a foal at the Newmarket December sales for export to America, being purchased on behalf of the Long Island sportsman, Thomas Hitchcock, for whom he won many important stakes through the field. Returned to his native land in 1834, Chenango, racing for Americas leading amateur rider, George H. "Pete" Bostwick, proved himself a champion over the minor obstacles and was ridden by his owner in most of his victories. A versatile performer, Chenango, ridden by A. C. Bostwick, won the one mile and five furlongs Moderate Plate at Newbury last October, and subsequently finished second to Tinker for the one mile and six furlongs Duchy Stakes at the Liverpool November meeting.
