SILKY STYLE AT SANTA ANITA
For at least one minute and 49 2/5 seconds—the time it took him to win the race—all eyes at the Santa Anita Derby were on Silky Sullivan, a horse who gets more fashionable every time he appears in public despite the fact that he sets his own styles in racing and most everything else. Worthy of a separate look, however, were some more fashionable racing folk caught here by the camera when Silky wasn't looking. Their costumes range from the expansive sack to a mink no bigger than a saddle. But the ensemble most universally admired was a tasteful arrangement of red carnations and Cymbidium orchids modeled in the winner's circle by Jockey Willie Shoemaker and Silky himself.
