BETWEEN RACES By OSCAR OTIS Continued from Page Forty -Eight Angeles and Reno turfman. It was only the fourth start for My Vengeance, a son of With Regards from a Pompey mare, lift. With Regards has generally been known as the kingpin sire of Santa Anita, for almost without exception, his offspring have proven adept at three furlongs along in January and February. With Regards was a horse of admitted great speed,. but that he could sustain it was pretty well proven in the Kentucky Derby of 1942 when he was fourth to Shut Out, Alsab and Valdina Orphan after being cut badly leaving the gate, and being on the extreme outside for much of the way. If his get show a tendency to ravel along he will take stature as one of the top sires of the Pacific Coast. Mrs. Sneed, who is separated from her husband, ob tamed My Vengeance in a settlement, and it might be added that she selected My Vengeance on her own judgment, having the pick of the crop, which were divided equally. As we said above, it is too early to pass any real judgment upon a two-year-old, but both Bull Chicle and My Vengeance have given promise of at least a claim to consideration for greatness. My Vengeance won in a prolonged duel with Challtack, the latter representing one of the few of the first crop of the old popular sprinter, Stronghold. The stud is standing at the Canoga Park Farm of Harry Warner, and some believe he will turn out to be the best of the six stallions at that establishment. Some observers thought Challtack ran a more powerful race than he was given credit for because he was lugging some through the stretch, and his rider had to take him up and off on two occasions.
