Kentucky Derby winter book favor ite in history at the moment, but we'll have a better line on them following the Wood Memorial at Jamaica, April n. That will be Count Fleets only start ahead of the Derby. The son of Reign Count worked a mile at Belmont in l:4O 2-5 the other afternoon. Handlers say no colt has come out of winter quarters so far advanced.
 Calumet Farm probably has given up on Ocean Wave, from which Seven Hearts ran away in the Arkansas Derby, but he hasn't been worse than second in seven starts, so still must be considered Ken- lucky Derby material.
 The Kentucky contingent of those which can't be tossed out will find out more about each other in the Blue Grass Stakes at the Downs, April 2i. Seven Hearts goes in that one, along with Ocean Wave, Dove Pie, Pops Pick and Amber Light. which beat Ocean Wave in the Louisiana Derby.
 Then the best in the east, with the exception of Count Fleet. will hook up with the Kentucky leaders in the Derby Trial, April 27
