This rugged importation had
been the famous statesman’s favo
rite horse for more than 20 years,
first as a runner under his colors
and later as the progenitor of
colts and fillies who won races
galore and gave the enderly
statesman a hobby that brought
him pleasure through the years.
In his racing days Happy Argo
was not a champion but he car
ried the Baruch silks to many
victories and was considered by
experts one of the best sprinters
in the country. He was a rugged,
stouthearted thoroughbred as
horse-men agreed, was cut out for
a truly great race horse. But he
became touched in the wind and
that affliction prevented him from
tarrying his high speed over a
long distance of ground and be
coming one of the best horses in
America.
Baruch was always at the track
to see his horse race, jubilant
when he won, gloomy when beat
en. When Happy Argo’s racing
days were over Baruch presented
him for breeding purposes to Mrs.
Harrison, widow of the late Adm.
Cary Grayson.
At stud Happy Agro was a suc
cess. He did not beget any cham
pions, but he sired hundreds of
sons and daughters. Nearly all
won races ana several captured
stakes. It was because of these
hard-running, rugged colts and
fillies that Baruch acquired his
most pleasant hobby. Despite his
arduous duties. Baruch found time
mall
to place a small sentimental wag
er on each one that raced and to
the surprise of his associates and
himself he won more than he lost.
For years Baruch greeted his
secretary each morning with the
queries: “Any Argos racing to
day?” and “How did they do yes
terday?” At times Happy Argo’s
get were so numerous they were
racing at tracks in all sections
of the country. But whether com
peting in New York, Maryland,
Florida,
Arkansas, Lousiana, Cali
fornia or Oregon, Baruch had a
five spot on each.
Baruch made no secret of his
betting on the Argos, and many
of his associates m Washington
and New York joined in the fun.
■Htey called it the Baruch senti
mental system of beating the
horses because every wager was
made for sentimental reasons,
and were of the small sentimental
variety. But the former owner of
the horse said he was not playing
ces and
a system to win on the races
that his betting vtas an inexpen
sive hobby from which he derived
much fun.
Although Happy Argo never
begot a top hone, his progeny
included several noted stake win
ners, including Colchis, Blessed
Event. Golden Voyage and Cap
tain Argo. In his first few years
at stud, Happy Argo begot 119
colts and fillies, and every one of
them won and his subsequent get
continued to win at an amazingly
high rate. Many of his sons are
racing now.
Some horsemen say Happy
Argo would have been one of the
leading stallions in America if he
had been bred to better mares.
