Harlem over a slow and heavy track. Out
of more than 100 nominations for the event,
an even twenty are csrded to start. In the
list OF candidates are four American Derby
candidates and some OF the best handicap
horses racing in the west. McChesney, the
favorite in the winter books, is doubtful
starter owing to the bad condition of the
track. S. c. Hildreth, who is training the
big horse, said tonight that IL did not look
as though McChesney would have chance
in the race, even II he should start, as the
horse is not a mudder. With the prospects
OF bad track, Flying Torpedo has been
cut from 10 to 1 to to 2 and he may go TO
the post favorite. In the overnight betting
favorites, Gregor X, Linguist, Epicure,
Lucen Appleby. Bellies Commoner and
Hagis were placed heavily. The American
Derby colts entered to start are Linguist,
Gregor *. Lendin and Alright. The most
popular OF these among the betters Is
