Florida Derby in world record time, didn't he?"
 "A good horse, but not a great horse" Cox corrected. TT h CT e wasn't a real horse in the field at Hialeah that afternoon. He had ev- erything his own way. But just wait until he is tested by the g. year-olds at Churchill Downs.
 "Brevity is a beautiful thorough bred, but l think he's soft. I like 'em little more rugged. I'll take 1t all back if he comes through this afternoon, but I don't think I'll have to. I'll tell you what I'll do-Tll give you to that he doesn't win"
 Cox Collects
 There was nothing to do but put up or shut up. So several of the group dug up dollar bills and laid them on the table.
 When the report of the race came through, Cox smilingly col lected his winnings.

Bold Venture had a bit too much left for your pretty favorite, Brevity, when it came to drive down the stretch, I guess. Maybe you'll agree with me now-he is a little soft.
 I'm glad that Max Hirsch fin ally put over a derby winner. He deserved to-the lads fine train CT"
 And come to think of it, Hirsch did do a grand job of bringing Morton L. Schwartz's colt to the barrier for the big test in perfect condition.
 Hirsch made no bones about Bold Ventures chances in pre-race pre- dictions. The colt had trained well all spring, and when Hirsch saw that he was approaching the razor edge he wisely withdrew him from the Wood Memorial, week before the Kentucky classic. A hard race so close to the derby might have

 Wins Like Champion
 One thing about Bold Venture he most certainly is not soft horse" The colt has had more than his share of hardships. Last year in the Arlington Futurity he suf- fered an injury that threatened to end his racing days before they had really begun. Later he escaped from a fire in railroad car in which two other thoroughbreds were fatally burned
 There was nothing flukey about his victory in the Kentucky Derby. He won like real champion. Get ting none the best of it at the break from the barrier, Bold Ven ture worked his way up to a con- tending position under a fine ride by Ira Hanford, his jockey Racing to the front when going into the far turn, he fought off a determ- ined bid on the part of the high ly favored Brevity and finished full of fight.

Walter Cox, surrounded by the pictures and mementoes of his many trotting triumphs, was en- tertaining a group of friends in the study of his home at Goshen, N. Y, on the afternoon of the run ming of the 62nd Kentucky Derby. The dean of American trotting horse trainers had to forego the jaunt to Louisville this year and had to remain at home, where he is regaining his health after a siege of illness. The talk naturally drifted to the big race at Chur- chill Downs.
 What horse will win the Der by?" He considered. carefully weighing the question which had been put to him. Well, l don't know-but it won't be Brevity.'
 And why not? He looked like a great horse when winning the

WARMING
BY Burdette Kinne
Post-Press Sports Editor

Officials of TIC imperial Valley
Midget racing association gathered
for a meeting Immediately after
Sundays races and unanimously
adopted a plan to construct lights
on the new speedway in order to
hold future races in the evening.
Sundays races were exceptional
ly colorful and exciting and the 800
fans that crowded into the speed
way stuck out the matches in spite
of intense heat.
The new track is rated as one
of the fastest in the southwest and
when night racing is introduced
local officials anticipate many new
records.
H. Peterson. winner of the 40 lap
main event Sunday, came within
tWo-tenths of a second of breaking
the world record in a trial run
when he toured the oval in 1925.
Fred Salmon, figured in every ac-
cident of the races Sunday but
emerged unscatched. Perhaps it
was because he was biting so fierce
ly on his cigar or maybe he is just
lucky. AT any rate he drove a great
race and furnished enthusiastic
spectators with a hatful of thrills

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 4. W.P)-
A good horse. a good ride. and good
breaks.
There, in nine words and a pair
of commas, is the story OF the 62nd
running of what has occasionally
been described as the historic
Kentucky derby.
1t was quite a proper thing in
Louisville today, just as it was on
yesterday and around sundoWn
Saturday afternoon, to say the
best horse didn't win: that Brevity,
and not Bold Venture should have
come home in front to take the
hatful of money, the gold cup, and
the immortality.
May be so. It's entirely possible
that the close of the SO racing sea-
son will find Brevity soundly es-
tablished as the top three-year-
old. And Bold Venture tagged as
strictly a one-shot horse. But right
now no amount of second guessing
can becloud the fact the big
Schwartz gamester is the No. !
fellow in his class. You can't ask
a horse to do more than win, and
that's what Bold Venture did
against field that included all
the good ones, in a race where it
was for keeps from the starting
gate right on down to the pay-off
slot.
And he won ii the hard way. II
there's any truth in the old sports
belief that the pressure is toughest
when you're Winging cut front. he
didn't lay-off the pace and follow
the crowd. Out in the middle Of

In

Never headed during 40
laps of grueling racing at
the Midget speedway Sun
day afternoon, H. Peterson
of Phoenix flashed across
the finish line winner in the main

Fred Davis, driving a steady
race, was second, less than half a
lap behind the winner.

the event in 1875.
Eight cars started in the 40-lap
main event and only four finished.
All eight autos started fast, each
driver endeavoring to better his
position even before the first lap
was completed. On the third trip
around the oval, car No. 6, driven
by Scotty Powers. went into a skid
and tipped over onto car No. 2,
piloted by Bob Douthitt Neither
driver was injured but Powers was
forced out of the race. Douthitt
continued but lost six laps and was
never able to overtake the leaders,
though he picked up two rounds
before the event ended.
Douthitt drove a great race try
ing to make up the distance and
provided fans many thrills with
his daring driving.
Car No. /, driven by Ward Swar-
thout, dropped out of the race
on the eighth lap when his motor
