Special Dispatch to The Star.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. MAY S-Resret,
the stalwart daughter of Broomstick-
Jersey Lightning, carved a unique niche
in the hall of fame for thoroughbreds
in the forty-first running of the Ken
lucky Derby when she led from start
to finish. She is the first filly to ever
win the Dirby and. though she ran the
distance in 2.05 25 she was hardly
blowing at the finish and was full OF
run. She was pressed throughout the
distance by Pebbles. from the Butler
stable. but he was not good enough and
lost heart breaking race in the final
sixteenth after Jockey BoreI had driv-
en- him within striking distance. He
faltered in the last sixteenth and the
filly won by two lengths. Her owner
Harry Payne Whitney of New York
was in front of the judges stand when
Regret came back to the stand. She
was given a great ovation.
Sharpshooter. another eastern racer
was third. and he ran a great race. But
he was not good enough for the first
two. The rest of the field only served
TO mill each other about.
1t was the largest field in The history
were fifteen starters. but today there
were sixteen. 1t was also the riches
Derby ever run. il being worth sli.sDe.
The race was true test OF the ability
of threeyear-olds of America and the
eastern horses proved their superiority
by taking first. second and third places
The Kentucky and Tennessee horses
never had chance.
