LOUISVILLE. May e.-rhe dope was
all askew today as horsemen, sports
men and racing fans from all over the
United States swarmed in for The epic
Of the racing season, the historic Ken
lucky Derby. Anything can happen
this year." is the nearest expression of
any concensus of opinion that can be
gathered on the eve Of the great $4,000
classic Of the American turf
Not IN good many years, old-timers
declare, have turfmen been so up In
the air" regarding the probable outcome
OF the Derby tomorrow. The weather,
which is alternately cloudy and bright
the track, which is sometimes fast and
sometimes slow, and the unknown sbin-
ties Of many OF the probable entries are
factors contributing to the general con-
fusion Of opinion.
Harry Payne Whitney, the famous
Eastern turfman, is here and is confident
one Of his entries Will win. In fact, IL is
reported Whitney has asked his trainer,
Jimmy Rowe. TO place his material for
a one-twO finish. Prudery and Tryster
are to carry the Whitney cOlors.
Turf historians recalled today that If
Prudery wins it will be the third time
In thirty seven years that a FLY has
captured the historic race. Ed C0rri-
CANS Modesty, thirty seven years agO,
was the first In 1915 Whitney's Re
greet was the second Of her sex to achieve
the honor.
Besides the Whitney nags a horse that
Is attracting a lot Of attention is Coyne,
who win be ridden by Max Garner.
COyne has already been wagered on ex-
~teDsfvely. Others who have their sup
porters are Leonardo II, Exodus. Dart
NOR, Red Legs, Firebrand, Black Serv-
ant and Star Voter.
Tragedy nearly removed one fayorite
fro mthe race yesterday when Sam Hill
dreth's Grey Lag, heavily played, pulled
up with a spread h0Of.
A number of smart turfmen believe the
Derby lies between Tryster, Prudery,
Leonardo and Careful. Leonardo gave
another dazzling exhibition OF speed yes
terday, when ne worked a mile in
:3Ss.
The track probably viii be fast In
which & new record for the mile and q
quarter may be forthcoming. The
worlds record for that distance now is
held by HOurless, made in q match race
with Omar Khayyam at Laurel.
Many States in the United States and
Canada, Europe and Central America viii
be represented at the running Of the
Derby. Members OF President Harding's
Cabinet, fnanciers and big business men
and women prominent in society viii rep
resent the United States DR.. Estecss Gil
Borges. Venezuelan minister Of foreign
relations. and party, viii represent the
1sthmian republics.
Thousands Of visitors are here, In
hotels, private cars and private yachts,
while others will arrive tonight and to-
morrow morning.
