n the lead.
In the intervening II years mas.
culine supremacy has reigned. But
this year another flly and one
which will carry the same colored
silks as regret heads the list OF
115 nominations to the 5Sth, re.
newal OF Americas race classic
Top flight from the stable of c. v
Whitney. champion of the two year,
olds last year with money record
of $4,000 won, is first off In the
nominations made public today
The race is May Z.
The Big Test.
TOP Flights owner is a son OF
Harry Payne Whitney, whose light
blue and brown silks Regret car
ried to victory in the derby OF
1915. The younger Whitney retains
the silks Of his father and grand
father and is confident his Stall
wart Miss can do what no other
fliy has done since Regrets day."
But there Is to be no walkaway
for this game maiden. The Green
tree stables of Mrs Payne Whitney,
whose Twenty Grand won in 1881
and established track record, has
nominated six possible starters; E.
K. Bradley's Belair stud, has nam
ed four: Threed's Stock Farm has
named four; and three each have
been named by c. v. whitney.
Brookmeade stable and Mrs John
Hay Whitney.
Top flight was the undisputed
champion of her division last year.
she met and vanquished all come RS
setting a new mark for juvenile
earnings.
First Choice.
In the Belmont Futurity, her
richest race, she carried 127 pounds
the highest impost allowed one of
her sex, and proved her greatness
by a Sparkling Triumph over the
best of her male contemporaries.
She Is favorite In all winter book
betting.
Tom Healey, veteran trainer for
the c. v. Whitney, thinks very
highly of top flight. Just prior
to the Belmont Fururity last Sep.

she's the finest flly I've ever
handled, and l believe the equal

Tick On, which came from be-
hind and only missed overtaking
Top Flight In the P1mlico Futurity
last November, should prove a
worthy rival. The winner of the
hopeful stakes at Saratoga for Mrs
Louis G. Kaufman's Iona stable
put up brillia MT finish in the An
cient Maryland Fixture.
Challenge.
So convinced was Max Hirsch,
trainer Of Tick On, that his colt
could master Top Flight that he
issued q challenge for a match race.
Owing to the arduous campaign
his charge had undergone, how
ever, Healey elected to wait until
the youngsters had passed their
third milestone. 1t Is quite likely
therefore that the derby will as
sumo the aspect Of a match race
between these two.
On Post, which. like Tick On, is
by that good sire On Watch. has
also been named by the Iona
stable. John J. Robinson's Lucky
Tom. winner Of the Grand Union
Hotel stakes at Saratoga, rules
third choice. He has filed out
nicely over the winter and has
been sweeping all before his In
New Orleans. Renaissance may be
sent to the post as a running mate,
In The Money.
Burning Blaze, a fleet-footed son
of Big Blaze from the Shandon
farm. Is another strong possibility.
Winning six Of his twelve starts,
including the Post and Paddock
stakes at Arlington Park, the west
ern colt earned $83,6&5, placing
him second on the list Of 2-year-
old money winners for the year.
He has yet to prove his ability to
go a route.
