horse, also broke down. Ladysman, the really
great 2-year-old champion Of 1882, and fourth
in the Derby, went the same way.
But what had happened to the rest of those
118 horses? Where were they when the Derby
buge called them to the post? Well, War
GLORY and War Stripes, the highly touted sons
of Man O. War: the brilliant Swivel Sarada.
Repaid, Trace Call, Dynastic and number OF
others were laid up with illnesses caught dur
ing training. Any number of others had broken
down. The Darb was too fragile to stand the
training grind. And many had failed to show
form.
\h/HY. you may we'll ask, is the Derby race
w SO much harder than any other race over
mile -and-one- quarter course? Isn't one race
much like any other?
Well, for one thing, the test Is held COM
paratively early in the Spring. For another, 1t
Is grueing task to prepare any horse for
race on a given date, especially when that
horse has been out Of training for number
of months.
Two-year-old horses are mere youngsters,
comparable to high school athletes. Three
year-olds-those horses Of Derby age-are more
nearly full-grown, and might be compared to
college athletes. In the interim between the
two periods, the horse must gain his growth
and weight. He must gain the power that will
permit him to race over the longer distances.
rof IllS IedSOu, Juveniles are generally al.
lowed to rest during the Winter months. Their
coats are permitted to grow long, and they
are given plenty of chance to play over the
fields of the great horse farms-in racing par
lance, they are turned out"
1t takes months to bring a horse up to rae
ing condition. The old saw, Rome was not
built in a day." may well be applied to the
training of horse. Moreover, you have to
wait on horse When he will reach the
pink of condition is personal matter with
each individual horse. He will be ready only
when his particular body gets into shape, and
not before. But the Derby, like time. waits
for no horse
Moreover, weather is an important Derby
factor
The English wont to call their derby the
greatest test for horsefesh in the world" But
English Winters are comparable to perpetual
May In Maryland, so far as horses are con-
cerned. And the English have extra month
in which to prepare their horses. Horses en-
tered in the Kentucky Derby must begin their
training in the unsettled, and often bitter,
weather of late Winter.
[ IOW does one go about training Derby
horse? Pretend for one moment that you
have a Derby candidate. Since Fall he has
gained several inches in height. Around the
barrel he has increased six or more inches.

BY MAX RIDDLE.

HIS is tale of the Kentucky Derby.
But it it is not much tale Of its
glory-for this has been told full
many time-but Of its tragedies, OF
the vain, even life-giving attempts to
win, and of winning efforts which
cost almost more than they were worth.
For the Kentucky Derby is the greatest turf
prize in America, and it did not become so oy
virtue of its ease of attainment On the con-
trary, probably other sports prize takes such
a toll Of permanent injuries does the Derby.
One Is reminded of what Buddy Wlngheio'
q once e-famed jockey, said as he thought back
over the years to the Derbies he had known
ANY horse" said Buddy, that trains for
and wins Kentucky Derby is whale OF
a race horse, even if he never wins another
race No other turf prize requires the heart
breaking training the desperate courage dur
ing the race which the Louisville classic re-
quires of the winning horse. And no prize.
therefore, Is more worth winning"
Travel back across the years to Regret, the
peerless filly that the Derby in 1915. Re
gret was marvellous flly, and one which pos
sibly never should have been beaten. She won
the Derby, being the only flly ever to accom-
plish the feat, but after that Regret was lame
It sometimes took months to get her ready for
one race and her career was BRIEF indeed, after
the great race.
Behave Yourself and Brokers Tip never won
again. Whiskery and Clyde Van Dusen were
of little use after winning. The great Norwich
was q wreck of a horse. Burgoo King won
but one race thereafter and lasted for only
two. Bubbling Over never again faced the
barrier.
HEAVY casualty list, you'll admit. In 10
u years, seven Derby winners have broken
down, mainly as result of training for the
event. Consider that the bloody battle of Mara
thon cost but one-third of its contestants:
Wars do not exact so heavy toll
But the penalty often demanded Of the
winner Is seldom so great as that required OF
the vanquiShed. It is true of most battles; 1t Is
true of that loam battlefield known as the Ken
lucky Derby course. And moreover all too
many of the promising Derby candidates."

Consider last years race. One hundred and

Praise for the Press
Farm Credit Messenger,
st PAIL MINI

Newspapers. press associations,
farm papers and the official papers
Of various farm organizations have
helped splendidly In making possible
the widespread understanding Of the
Farm Credit Administration that
exists. This is not to say that every
one fully understands 1t and all its
details. There Is much yet to be
learned, much that prospective Dor
rowers must know and do in order to
utilize the credit that Congress has
made possible through the Federal
Land Bank, the Production Credit
Corporation. the intermediate Credit
Bank, and the Bank Of Co-operatives.
However, the fact that practically
$25. 900 900 will have been put In farm
ers' hands by the time this issue Is in
readers hands, that there are q score
or more OF the new Production Credit
Associations already formed, that the
public has again begun to feel hope
full, and that dissatisfaction which
was being voiced some weeks ago Is
subsiding Or has subsidized, Is due in
. large measure to the publicity that
these various agencies have furnished.
The publicity division at headquarters
in st. Paul has provided the facts,
written some Of the material-but it
was these papers that put 1t before
their readers, and they have done 50
without charge.
Everyone In the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration from General Agent Leo
!. Crowley down to the messengers
and the mailing department appreci-
ate the help that the papers have
been. They cannot be paid in cash.
but they should be rewarded with q
public realization Of their great serv-
ice. This service extends not merely
to those working for the Farm Credit
Administration In the 7th district. nor
i It confined to the thousands Of Dor
rowers who have received and are
about to receive financial aid. It goes
farther thsn both Of these.
The service Of tho press. including
dailtes. weeklies, press associations,
farm papers. and organization papers
has been that Of helping definitely
and greatly towards the rehabilitation
0f agriculture. towards the general
prosperity that 10000. 900 people are
striving Tor. the goal Of the Roosevelt
administration and the hope Of every
family IN the United States.
