RUN DERBY IN SEASON

Many Horsemen Favor Running Kentucky Classic in Latter Part of the Summer. Because so many of the three-year-olds which are rushed in their preparations for the Kentuqky Derby fall to accomplish anything in the later months, a suggestion has been made that the Kentucky classic be held at a later date. While it has not been taken up officially, it- is known that many horsemen will approve of the change. It was particularly noticeable that Paul Jones, Blazes, Donnacona, On Watch and others which were hurried in the spring for the race did not show good form until autumn, and it is a matter of record that few winners of the derby have ever trained on successfully.
