Show Western Horses Lead in Many Racing Hobbies There are more horses in the country today than when the Wild West was at its apex and glory. In Utah especially, horses have become one of the largest pasttime hobbies for both city dweller and rancher alike. High on the list of favorites is the Appaloosa and the quarterhorse. Most Utahns who are familiar with Appaloosas know them better for their distinctively beautiful appearance than for their fame as racing horses, but Appaloosa racing is rapidly growing in popularity in a number of American locales. This unusual breed was a favorite of the Nez Perce Indians of the Northwest, who favored the horse because of their colorful markings, intelligence and stamina. Appaloosas are distinguished by their black and white, or sometimes brown and white, markings which often give a spotted appearance. Appaloosa racing has its own version of the triple crown. The first leg is held during the Sonoma County the second leg Fair in Santa Rosa, Calif., July is held on Labor Day at Chicagos Arlington Park race track and the richest event of the year is the $100,000 Worldwide Appaloosa Futurity during the 5 New Mexico State Fair Sept. in Albuquerque. 11-2- 14-2- The speed, endurance and intelligence of the American quarterhorse made them ideal as mounts for cowboys years ago. Now quarterhorse racing is a popular leisure time sport in the Southwest. Unlike thoroughbred or standardbred racing, quarterhorse racing is not done on an oval track. Instead, quarterhorses come out of a chute and race down a short, straight stretch. BUY 1 GAME AT REGULAR This lightning-fas- t sport offers some of the richest purses in the world of horseracing.
