Gold Heels Crowned Turf Champion After Suburban Win
Gold Heels, sired by The Bard and Heel and Toe, rose from an ungainly colt at Chesterbrook Farm to a Suburban winner. Sold by W. C. Whitney to Sam Hildreth for 1200 dollars, later owned by Dave Sloan, the horse flourished under trainer Matt Allen. He captured the Woodlawn Vase at Morris Park and the Suburban at Sheepshead Bay amid a season of rapid rise and high bids.
