first time in several years resident
racing enthusiasts are encouraged
by prospects that Louisville may
furnish the winner for the Kentucky

sellor and Worthmore on racing form
shown as 2-ye1r olds and present ap-
pearances are declared to be on par
with tho best.
Both colts have filled out consid-
erably since last year and are win
tering excellently. while daily gal
lops have kept them in ideal shape
to begin serious training when
warmer weather comes.
Wise Counsellor, sharing the lead
ersh,p of his age division with Sara

more highly regarded of the pair.

would not be surprised If Worthmnre
should prove to be as great a three
year old as his stahlemate.
