CHURCH STRING AT ARLINGTON Northway Stable Beaches Chicagos Big Northwest Side Track From California Valiant Fox Star. Valiant Fox, three-year-old son of Gallant Fox and Sunstroke, which finished a head back of Mrs. Silas B. Masons He Did in the Santa Anita Derby, arrived in the powerful division of twelve horses owned by the Northway Stable of Norman W. Church at Arlington Park yesterday. The fleet, mud-running1 Gallant Fox colt shipped from his owners California ranch in excellent condition and, trainer E. L. Fitzgerald will point him for the 530,000 Classic and other specials for three-year-olds and older horses which stud the coming Arlington Park meeting. "Valiant Fox has been freshened up and has filled out since his winter campaign," said trainer Fitzgerald. "Hes a much better colt than he showed when he finished second in the Santa Anita Derby, where he would have beaten He Did in another stride. Valiant Fox will be dangerous in the Classic. And Granville has already told us in the Belmont Stakes that this is a big year for the sons and daughters of Gallant Fox." The Northway colts sire won the Arlington Classic in 1930. Valiant Fox was bred in Kentucky by A. B. Hancock and purchased by Church from the former at private sale. Four of the twelve horses in the Northway shipment are two-year-olds, which will receive their first serious racing tests at Arlington Parks meeting. Notable among the older horses are Toro Nancy, heroine of the 1934 Arlington Futurity, and the cup star of the stable, Riskulus.
