Not a national racing classic. 'tis
true, but admittedly the Crowning
event of Southern California turfdom,
will come Derby day tomorrow at the
beautiful south end course. Not of such
monetary value as the Ascot handicap,
the winning of derby carries with it
much of turf romance and flavor that
tomOrrow's feature has been antici-
pated with gleeful and eXpectant an
tic!pation by those owners who have
entered their thoroughbreds.
Just another such day as marked
the Ascot handicap competition should
delight race goers tomorrow. Not Il
suspicion of false running Is to be con-
tended with. No object may be gained
by a willful side play in the Derby
run Form may be considered with no
great degree of an upset. though the
careful follower always has an eye to
details.
1t is now claimed that the man who
set poundage for KerCheval in the
Burns handicap recently was careless
to a degree and did not pore over
Kerchevals previous performances in a
manner calculated to secure the exact
form.
Secretary Boden has, however, per-
formed noticably in this respect, and
members of the Los Angeles Jockey
club, with the general public, appears
more than satisfied with his eXertionS
thus far during the season. Boden has
fought the figures to a standstill and
hardly expects an outsider to turn an
unexpected trick.
AS w. II. Carey was selected accord
ing to form in these columns and ran
exactly as was predicted, 1t may be
in order to choose Il probable winner of
the Derby along similar lines.
Colonel Jack Is Fit
Tomorrow's feature event will be
worth approximately $2500 net to the
winner. Originally seventy-seven
horses were nominated to start and
sixteen may face the barrier.
Colonel Jack appears entitled to seri-
Gus consideration and with Jockey
Knapp in the saddle would not be an
illegitimate favorite. w. II. Holland,
the owner, has secured big Bill to
ride and is very sweet on Jacks
chances. The ColOnels ability to carry
weight and go a distance is known far
and wide and judging from recent
workouts it would appear that a track
record must be broken If the Holland
horse loses.
Colonel Jack worked a mile and a
quarter Tuesday in 2:12, which was his
final prep for the big event. 1t will
make no difference so far as the Col
onel is concerned whether the track be
fast or sloppy.
j. r. Laughrey is very familiar to To-
cal devotees and his performance Sat
urday when he ran a splendid race will
cling to the memories of many as they
negotiate with the pencil men. W. A.
Porter has retained the popular little
w. Dugan to ride.
Molesey, although a doubtful starter,
recently worked a mile and q quarter
in 210 with derby weight up. Mr..
Bennett has stated in an interview
that he is not certain of sending his
gelding to the post with 124 pounds
up, as 1t would sit heavily on so small
horse as Molesey, thus running his
chances for the eastern handicaps i'm
which Molesey has received nomination.
Should the animal start Preston or
Harris will ride
San Alvisco worked a mile yesterday
in 2:14 with derby weight astride III
pounds. Alviso showed an excellent
turn of speed as he was fighting for
his head throughout. G. T.. Boots, who
bred and owns the horse, believes him
to be the best piece of flesh he ever
trained.
Carthaginlan, which is coupled with
san Alyiso, ran clover race Tuesday
and VIII IN all probability be called up
ON 10 make pace for his stable mate.
F1scher viii ride san AlVso with Kunz
astride Carthaginian.
Black Mate, although he has not
SHOWN much, in his races here, really
looms as dark affair, for his burst of
speed during morning trials have been
mount.
John PoWers has not made assur-
ance that he will start Judge Nelson
rms one should have an excellent
chance, as in his last race, which he
won easily he evidenced remarka BILE
Improvement. Mcdaniel will be the
rider II the start is made.
Aethus also appears to be on the
doubtrul list, as he went lame about
six weeks ago and Dick Bauer has
asked nothing fast.
X. II. Cafman is expected to send out
Arimo for the big prize, with Jockey
Morlarty IN the stirrups. Armo has
In reality given probably the best
