The sport's section (page 12) has a banner headline: "Pimlico Track Record Broken by Seabiscuit in Taking Rich Riggs Handicap" with subheads and nice photo. (see) First report coverage on famous racehorse, Seabiscuit, winning the Riggs Handicap at Baltimore, Maryland. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 34 pages, very nice condition.
source: American Experience: After being scratched from two races in the previous week due to muddy track conditions, Seabiscuit easily wins the Riggs Handicap after rival War Admiral is scratched. Seabiscuit breaks the track record while carrying a startling 130 pounds. With the win, Seabiscuit now moves past War Admiral in earnings by $9,000.
