IN the American Derby were given good

can Derby his owner, W N. Hayes, one
OF the best known men the American
and Canadian turf and a brother of Tom
Hayes, president Of the Horsenen's Pro
tective association will pc one Of the
most disappointed men in the country
Despite the defeat of the son Ct imp
Pirate of Penzance in tbs. Kentucky and
St Louis. in both OF which he finished
SIverdale Hayes still believes his colt
has a great chance of taking in the rich
prize OF Saturday.
They can not give my colt Ave pounds
while discussing the chances of his ami
mall 4 do not look much upon his de-
feat at St. Louis as a true criterion of
his ability We have shipped him about
the country a great deal and that may ac-
count for his shift of form. But let me
tell you one thing He has run but one
bad race and that was in the Clark
Gilmore. He was fifth, then. but he was
given a bad ride. Every other time that
himself. We shipped him to Toronto and
then to Hamilton and from there to
to ST. Louis and I think he was one race
short in the St Louis Derby.
Winnie O'COnnor rode him in the Ken
lucky Derby and said after that race
that if we started him in the American
Derby he would rather rue MIN IN IffaL
than any other horse. That gave US
plenty of confidence, fer it stormed SO be
fore the race that we could not work him
the way we wanted to.
Hayes refused a good offer Of $500 for
the colt from DR.. Smith Of Toronto after
he won the Toronto cup. Later a stock
broker of New York made an offer Of
$4,000 for him, but this, too. was re-
fused as the owner considered he was
worth fully $1,000. considering his rosy
chances Of winning the rich prize here
Hayes thought he had a. certainty on the
St Louis Derby and did not want to part
with him.
