PIONEER SPECIALISTS
To SEE SPEED At
LOUISVILLE, KY.

Tryouts at the two Louisville tracks
Sunday morning indicated that those
who journey to Churchill Downs
aboard the Pioneer Special will see
plenty OF speed Derby Day.
Coyne and Brother Batch, TWO OF
the most favorable of the western
contingent for the $4,000 added
stake, were sent one and one-eighth
miles in so at the Downs. This was
the best move any OF the derby eli
gibles have shown this season.
The two horses, both trained by I.
{. Van Meter, ran head and head
throughout, but were under restraint.
After covering the mile i'll l:43 Is
the riders eased them up almost to a
gallon. There has been considerable
suspicion as to Brother Batch's wind,
as he has been suffering from a throat
aiment, but he gave no evidence OF
anything wrong. He pulled up III
good shape.
Ben Bolt Does Mile.
Ben Bolt, hope OF J. W. Bell, local
business man, was given mile IN
| so Is at the Downs He could have
gone much faster. Jockey Jack Han
over. astride him, had a snug hold at
all times. This horse is one OF the
outsiders. but his recent efforts have
gained him a following.
Over at Douglas Park. Muskal-
longe, owned by Bud" Fisher, the
cartoonist, reeled off a mile in l 40 Is
with little apparent effort. He tried
hard to run faster, but Trainer A. B.
Gordon is working to develop his
stamina rather than speed. Muskal-
longe has proven on numerous ocea-
sions that he has speed. He has the
| Reputation OF being strictly a sprnter
but now is showing signs OF staying
ability.
Red Legs, John S. Wards derby
prospect, started out at a merry CLIP
in a six-furlong workout at Douglas
running the first half mile in ;4S, buf
his rider took hold at this junctur,
and he wound up in ILL Is. lie Is
