The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-05-15

The entries closed Feb. 25 and, although
they have been closely guarded until now,
there has been extant for a few weeks
fairly accurate idea as to the personnel
and caliber of the Derby lot. 1t was ac-
cepted that a fair majority of the best
three-year-olds in the country had been
named, and such proved TO be the case.
Notwithstanding repeated failures the East
is more strongly represented than ever. w.
Nj. Scheftel has entered Highball, the best
of last years two-year-oldS, and Major
Pelham, more than useful three-year-old.
f. r. Thomas, the owner Of Hermis is
represented in the race by Stalwart and
with The Parader, the Eastern choice in his
year, comes back again with Montreson and
Dolly Spanker. Capt. s. s. Brown. of
jurer.
All the winners Of the derbies that have
been run this year are on the list. They
include Bombardier winner OF the Cali
fornia Derby Bill Curtis. winner of the Los
Angeles Derby; Ostrich, winner of the
Crescent City Derby; Proceeds and Con-
jurer running one and two in the Tennes-
see; Rainland. winner of the Cumberland
Park Derby, and Elwood, winner of the
Kentucky Derby.
The choice of the Western lot seems to
center on English Lad, who, at his first
time out his season, gave weight and
beating to the seasoned campaigner Wit
full.
Not wo-year-old colt or FLY that has
shown a tinge of quality in the West this
year is missing from the Hyde Park and
Quickstep stakes. The Wheeler handicap,
the Young handicap and the other all-aged
events have filled well, although few East
ern horses have been named.
The Washington Park Clubs meeting
will open June Is and continue usual
twenty-five days.
