Louisville, KY, April 2O-Ben Brush
Will certainly start In the Kentucky Derby.
The final payment has been paid, and hls
owner, NJ. +. Dwyer, has notified the sec
retary or the Louisville Jockey Club that
| he VIII bring him here. By the talent he
| is commonly regarded as being the surest
| OF the sure things. Many OF them are will
ing to place all they have OIL Ben Brush at
l TO 10 against the field.
ON form there is certainly no colt that can
| compete with him. But there are two or
three others OF rather doubtful quality, and
a maiden or two that may spring as great
| surprise as McLeans colt, Berclair, did
! i'll the Memphis Derby.
| Every day the track and field are alive
| with horses. The rail birds witness many
| a good time trial. There is one horse OF
decidedly dark color Ell tered in the Derby.
| This Is Ramiro, by Fonso, out OF Go!die
Cad. After Brush, he is considered the
| best OF the candidates, though Ulysses has
| been more talked about.
RAMIRO MAY PUSH BRUSH.
The veteran turfinen who have been
watching Ramiro say that he will give
Brush 4 hard race and some of them pre-
| dict that he will beat the thought-to.be
| irwin chile three year old. In trials he
| shows well, going in / "A easy. He las
never been permitted to do his best.
Ramlro showed well last year, finishing
| unplaced but once. When il comes to d
race he may not be in it at all with
/ Ben Brush, but he has developed won
derfully since last season, and If appear
| ances and condition count at all. he will
! bear close watching. He is owned by W.
Ii. Laudeman.
Ulysses has worked miles in Al .. He
is showing very good form, but the gen
! eral sentine mt Is that he is not in the same
| class with Brush. Brown is keeping very
| quiet on the sub ject of Ulysses and is groom
| ing him very carefully. The current opin-
ion is that Ulysses is the hest candidate
after Brush.
Sir Hughes first mate has worked a
mile in LAT IL. a mile and an eighth in
2 12, and a mile and a quarter in 2:16.
| Tue colt is favored by many.
EUGENE LEIGH HAS A GOOD ONE.
King william is the entry of Eugene
Leigh. He is a chestnut three ear old
by Spendthrift. out OF Kapango. being
a full brother TO the mighty Kingston.
II. J Gerhardy says he may surprise the
public. Three quarters in 1:1S is the best
That has been shown by him so far.
SChute's Zufallig chestnut colt by
Argyle out OF Peradvcnture: Pcnury, Byron
MCC LELAND, the BishfOrd Manor entry;
/ Baker & Gentry's Good Advice. and Leon
aise show good form and are well punched.
They work miles in :4S or 40. LeOnaIse
has gone the three-quarters In l:lb- WHICH
is the fastest vet on trial for that distance.
There are TWO filIies at the track that
are looked on as the best bits OF horserlesh
there. Both are twO-year.olds. One is
Turtle Dove, by Teuton, out OF Nelrose,
a Himyar mare. She has gone the half
in 40, which is one second better than
any other filly at the track has gone.
CLIFFORD's SISTER SHOWS A FAST
HALF.
The other is a two-yearluld filly, the favor
lite OF Eugene Leigb's string. She is
yaleriana, by Great Tom, out OF Ealer-
ian. She has gone the half in 80. II is
tOss-up bet ween her and Turtle Dove,
and as both are entered at the coming
meetings, the meetings bet ween them PROM
Use to be battle royals
A sister OF Clifford, La Duchess, by 1rO-
quUise dam Duchess, has gone the half In
40 l-2 She VIII be ta ken tUNew York after
the season is over.
