Dark Star Is Upset Winner In Roses Run LOUISVILLE, Ky. UP — Will Native Dancer gain revenge for his defeat in the Kentucky Derby by spoiling Dark Star’s bid for the turf's triple crown? Veteran horsemen, just recovering from the surprise of Dark Star’s 25 to 1 triumph in Saturday’s run for the roses at Churchill Downs, were busily debating that big post-Derby question today as both star colts were readied for shipment to Belmont Park. Many of the hardboots very frankly said they thought the best horse. Native Dancer, didn’t win the derby—even the official chart of the lace declared the losing Al Vanderbilt colt “probably was the best’’ in the field. And these were stoutly arguing that the big gray cojt will wreak revenge on Dark Star when the two dash on May in the second “jewel*’ of the Triple crown, the sloo,o<lo added Preakness Stakes at Pimlico. On the other hand. Dark new legion of fans pointed out that the Preakness is a sixteenth-of-a-mile shorter than the Derbyl and they argue that if Native DAncer couldn’t overhaul Dark Star in the Derby, he’ll neyer dp it in a shorter race, 1 There’s ho argument at al} that Native Dancer had what one trainer called a “rough trip”\ in the Derby — he was jostled by Money Broker on the first turn and then somewhat boxed in. “My horse got sloughed oil the first turn.” said bitterly disappointed jockey Eric Guerin. "And, besich s. he didn’t seem Ito like the track,” t Some NativeX Dancer fans were blaming Guerin'for not keeping his previously unbeaten steed out of trouble. They said that he should have kept Native Dancer clear and that, by failing to do so, he cost the favorite at least four lengths. But Vanderbilt and trainer Bill Winfrey emphasized that they have "no complaints” about Guerin's ride, and they generously overlooked Native Dancer's bad racing luck with the joint .comment that they have “no alibis”: for hie. defeat. , . ,
