that maybe Dogpatch can do it.
And that. my worthy conStitu-

other horse in another Derby three
years ago. Just in case your
memory is dim, the name of the
other horse in the other Derby
was Gallahadion.

in his green and white barn on
the far corner of Churchill Downs

explaining how he. the trainer OF

derby itself. He wrote the story
there in the barn while he clus-

story:
"All we can hope for IL second
and we will be very, very lucky
IL we get that. Bimelech can't

Well, we will start him but we
don't look for much. He'll be in
there trying but we frankly
don't think we have a chance
TO win"
Well, Bimelech was beaten ir
the Derby and the horse that beat
him was the despised Gallahadion
