Flo Carline, owned by NJ. u. Tchenor Co.
the wealthy stock yards turfmen. won the
preliminary Derby handicap at the Fair
Grounds to-day from field composed of the
best two-year-olds in training here. II was
well known that the filly had been pointed
Cor the race. and She would have been one OF
the top choices but for the fact that her post
position near the inside rail was an additional
handicap to the ils pounds she was asked to
carry. Under these conditions the players
were tind about backing her. and the price
recedcd from to 10 to I. while Sweet
Alice and Pride OF Galore carried the heavy
play because Of their being on the outside
of the field.
After short delay at the post the barrier
went up to good start. with Flo Carllne and
Lord Melbourne In front. Their riders
promptly steered them across to the outsd
and the path wus secured before the horses
on ths outside got Strengthened from she
crO~ding that came utter the start. Lord
Melbourne took the lead and sailed along IN
front with about two lengths lead over Flo
Carline and the rest of the field strung out
behind them. As far as frst money was con-
cerned the race was always between Lord
Melbourne and Flo Carhne. and by the time
the stretch was reached the others were well
beaten.
