However, Cherokee Red never possessed the class of her illustrious brother and has been mingling in the claiming ranks throughout her career, Cherokee Red is now the property of the western turfman, W. E. Ball, and is likely to triple her number of starters before the close of the New Orleans racing season, which reaches its climax on March 25. .
