LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 24.—The probable fieLd for the Kentucky derby at a mile and a quarter here May 8 is shaping in a manner, according to horsemen, which give* promise of making It one of the most open derbies in the forty-six years of It# history. The horse which will go tq the post the favorite in this richest of American turf classics already is a question of wide interest and thoughtful speculation. At this time. Damask. Harry Payne Whitney’s winter track star, is said to be as fit as any that ever faced the barrier, and has a large following. Those, however, who believe Damask does not posses# the class of some of his eligible rivals, pin their faith to Biases, the son of WrackBiasing Star, owned by Rai Parr. LofUs Pair Good. ■ Biases, however, has a rival in Donaconna in the stable of form-r Congressman George W. Loft, of New York. Bred for the distance, he is sturdily built, but with plenty of length, A considerable number say that the horse which beats Donaconna will win the race. Mr. Loft also has another string to his bow in On Watch, among whose Impressive claims to distinction is that he Is the son of the unbeaten Colin.
