Only Seribe's Good Wishes
On Johnstown's Side

There's a hunch, If you want
one" he says. who else won that
race? Gallant Fox and Twenty
Grand. And did they go on to win
the Derby? They did. Name me
two better Derby winners than Gal
liant Fox and Twenty Grand"
AS he stands in his STALL ex-
changing casual nod with the
ceiling, Ell Chico does not sell you
thoroughly on his chance to be king
Of the 3-year- He's filled out
some, yes, but only in the usual
proportions. He never was a big
horse, or handsome horse, or one
with the look of hardihood.
He's little bigger than War Ad-
miral was at the same age, but the
Admiral was closely and powerfully
built. Looking at him, you felt he
could run all day. You don't have
the same feeling about Ell Chico.
To tell the truth, you don't have
the same feeling when you look at
your correspondents personal hunch
for the Derby, Johnstown. Son of
one of the greatest sprinters of re-
cent years, jamestown, Johnstown
Is geared for speed, and he couldn't
match Ell Chico's speed last year
But I have a powerful premonition
that Johnstown will pass Ell Chico
when Ell Chico passes the milestone,
heredity or no heredity
Heredity in horses is very confus-
Ing to your correspondent, who can
not even keep track of the heredity
in his own stable of blooded nevis
They tell me that Ell Chico's par
entage, La Chica by John P Grier,
plus great deal of Domino and
Ben Brush blood, means pure speed
and little staying power. Mr.. Brady
SCOTS at the book, however, and he
knows more about it than I do.
We will go deeper into this Derby
problem anon Meanwhile, remem-
Der that Ell Chico has a great q
year-old record and the examples
Of Norwich. Gallant Fox and
Twenty Grand on his side, while
Johnstown has little else than your
correspondents good wishes.

EI Chico Derby Choice
In Spite Of Jinx
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, March 8.-In 1921
the light-footed horse named Nor
vich won IL races in row as a q
year-old. A year later he won the
Kentucky Derby with a fair degree
Of comfort He was the last 2-year-
old champion to do so.
The leaders Of the younger set
simply do not make a practice of
collecting, or even threatening, the
Derby prize money That's the hex
that hangs over the stall of Ell
Chico, undisputed champion of last
years 2-year-olds, who won seven
races in seven starts in 1888, in
cluding some of the same stakes
copped by Norwich, and has loafed
through the winter with nothing on
his mind but his next meal.
Ell Chico-the Kids not worried
about the Derby He's entered in
the race, and he'll run for the roses,
barring mishap, and he leaves the
talking to his trainer, Matt Brady,
who insists that his slender chestnut
colt can 60 any distance he's asked
requirement of mile and a quarter.
Record as 2-Yeor-OId
Similar to Morvich's
His breeding spells speed and he's
got speed" says Brady, contemplate
ing the champ in his place of honor
in the barn of William Ziegler jr.,
but that don't mean he can't run
on. He has courage The junior
champion proved that last year
when he beat down Johnstown and
held off Volitant in the stretch
Also, he's filled out nicely this
winter. He's not big, but he's no
pony. He'll 60 distance, all right"
Norwich, you may remember. was
Just such a streak of wealthy light
ming in his juvenile year as Ell Chico
was last season. Norwich, like the
Kid, rocked them back on their |
heels at Saratoga, winning the Sar-
atoga Special, the United States
Hotel Stakes and the Hopeful, as Ell
Chico did. Norwich went on to
gather in the Eastern Shore Handi-
cap and the Pimlico Futurity. He
went up to the Derby a favorite,
and he won 1t cleanly, though the
field was not impressive.
No one has turned the same trick
since. In fact, IN the last couple
OF years, the conviction that a
2-year-old champion cannot win the
big race at Louisville has been
Joined by growing suspicion that
resting horse for the winter is not
the best way to prepare for the
Derby.
History shows that few winter
campaigners have won the race, but,
when Lawrin broke through last
year, after busy February and an
active March, the experts began to
feel that times had changed. That's
another precedent-though of Short
er standing-that runs against El
Chico.
Matt Brady balances the score to
some extent by pointing out that
the Kids best race as 2-year-old
was the Junior Champion, at aque-
duct.
