On Trust Top State Bred Turf Winner By MAXWELL STILES
On Trust, California Breeders Handicap winner, solidifies fame as the state’s leading money earner with $359,520. Traced from sale to E. O. Stice & Sons, he battled Yankee Valor across Del Mar and Santa Anita, claiming the Santa Anita Derby and other strong showings before a sudden end in East-West wars. A calm, honest barn favorite, he thrives on racing and remains a crowd draw at Hollywood Park as the California Comet of the turf.
