Fly In Four Cuadra Mexico Horses to Arlington Park ARLINGTON PARK, Arlington Heights, 111., June 21. As a prelude to possible air transported international competition between English and European star thoroughbreds with horses of this country a quartet of thoroughbreds who flew here from Mexico City are due at this track late this afternoon. The four horses, owned by the Cuadra Mexico, largest in Mexico, left Brownsville, Texas, last night on the last lap of their long journey. Riding in four plywood, padded stalls, the invaders are Plucky Flag, winner of the Mexican "Triple Crown;" Jackstraw, a four-year-old, who holds the track record for five and one-half furlongs at Mexico City; Tupinamba, a two-year-old purchased in Kentucky for 5,000, and Politico, seven-year-old Argentine star. All are expected to race at the current Arlington Park meeting. The horses, weighing approximately 1,000 pounds each, were accompanied by seven handlers.
