Woolford Farm to Race Division at Ak-Sar-Ben Many Newcomers Plan Campaign At Coming Thirty-Day Meeting OMAHA, Neb., May 16. Stock in Ak-Sar-Bens 1942 race meeting was given another boost today with the annnounce-ment by chairman W. H. Schellberg that the Woolford Farm colors will be seen in action here when the 30-day program opens one week from next Tuesday, May 26. The decision of Herbert M. Woolf to send a division to Omaha enhances still further a field of entries that assures the most colorful meeting in Ak-Sar-Ben history, Schellberg declared. Despite the fact that Woolfs color-bearers munch hay with such bluebloods as Joe Schenck, Pig Tails and others of Inscos get who helped earn the 42,960 that ranked Woolford Farm sixth for the nation in total money won last season, theyll find plenty of competition at Omaha, Schellberg promised. "More newcomers than ever before are checking in at Ak-Sar-Ben for the 1942 season," he said. Most unique among them are the horses of E. E. Fogelson, wealthy Texas oil man, who has one of the few all-gray stables in America. Trained by W. R. Kanatzer, Fogelsons string includes two sons of Khamseen, a gray , who ran one of the greatest races ever seen here to defeat stout-hearted Lady Bowman and set a three-quarter mile record. Khamseens sons, who will race here, are Khamseens Boy and Khamseen Jr. Other Fogelson mounts are Silver Lady, Hastings Girl, Hatteras Light and Spano Soltis. Other standouts are arriving daily now and Schellberg interprets their appearance as a tribute to the caliber of the 1942 meeting and to the patriotic and civic purposes to which Ak-Sar-Ben has pledged all proceeds.
