ago. but il an eastern book 10 run al tho
Corrigan track, and, Of course, it will be.
as It is outside Of the city Jurisdiction, he
will catch large psresntsRs Of the pool
room players. whose preference il il to bet
on the eastern events. Al matter Of JUS
tice, if not of law, the Garfield park people
should be allowed TO run their eastern
book. too, - it il hardly fair to make fish
Of one and fowl Of anothsr. The Chicago
derby will b the svsnt in the opening day,
and this race may possibly furnish line on
tho Garfield park event. though that
is hardly probable. o. there arc
many that will be reserved for the big race
to be run later. or tho forty-two that are
nominated some six Or eight may come TO
tho post. and perhaps more. Among those
that would seem to havs chance are: Lit
Ito Billy. Huron. Phil Dwyer, Lew Weir,
Wiehtman. Gambler, Bernardo, Irish Chief,
and Chief Justice. II may be set down az
almost certainty that neither Gulinda nor
Salonica will face the flag on this occasion.
Carlsbad may perhaps be brought on for
the raee bat that ID doubtful. Falsro may
bs counted upon a. an absentee, and Green
B. Morris will hardly send on either Dom
caster, Tom Tough or False "B" to run,
though he told Starter PsttiuRill, lust AZ
the latter left to como out here. that he should
send sone horses on here aboat the first of
June. and it may be that Green has his eye
not only ON this derby, but ON both of the
others. The stake events run at Haw-
thorne last season nearly all went to the
derby there this year it looks like he could
do 80, as Huron would seem to hold the
edge on everything else in the race even
though he had not improved any over his
Kentucky derby form. Loudon il also
among tho entries, bnt ~ it has been re-
pared for the Garfield park derby il looks
hardly possible that he will start in this.
The Garfield park derby continues to be
the chisf subject Of speculation among
horsemsn nowadays, ana as regards prob
able winner there seems to be ! vast differ
ence Ct opinion, The majority of the KEN
tHckians ~ fayorlne WadsWorth for the race,
u tell you, "rsaid ono Of them YESTERDAY,
.'that he is By long odds the best colt that
I have seen THE season. j did not see him
at Louisville. but Ut Lexington he Just won
both OF his races swinging his head. He
ha. almost perfect action and know that
he is faster than most folks imagine" An
other horseman, who just came up from
Latonia said: II know colt that will beat
W Wadsworth and beat him sure, and that il
Huron. He Is looking and moving splendidly
aow. I saw him 80 through the stretch the
other morning like Cyclone, and he was
his head too. The colt that
beats him here will just about get the
money. Now you remember what I say."
You fellows don't seem to want to give
California look in,' chimed another. "but
if yeu will only give Us two or three weeks of
good weather We will speak for ourselves on
The day of the race. Zaldivar is being |
worked every day now over at Washington
park, and don't you mako any mistake, for |
he is likely to heve little something to say |
about it. Gulinda 10 not 20 far awav from |
raoe either, let me tell you, and with two |
weeks of fast work he will be in pretty fair |
,hape himself. Dow Williams. who 10 train |
ing the Baldwin string, docs not say very
much, but he thinks great deal for all that, |
lnd if Gulinda is not nosing around tho silk |
bag that has tho Derby check in it when |
tho time comes then somebody will be |
lwfully fooled" And so the talk goes on. |
The fact of the matter is that the race ia a |
more open one than people would think, |
md there are SO many horses that are be- |
nR given special preparation Of whose
loings and work no reports are made, that |
t 10 most difficult matter to form any es-
imates Of even the probable starters. One
,ears but little for instance nowadays Of |
70 Tambien and Carlsbad. and yet both Of |
hsse hots SOS are almost sure to oone to the
'ost and both. If rumor can be believed,
viii take lot of beating. A few days of
unshine would put the traek in good con-
lition. and then the Derby work would be-
lin in real earnest.
