book favorites may possibly be eliminated from the running. But as rapidly as one Derby choice falls another rises. As Osmand's stock settled, up rose the stock of Whiskery. Whiskery raced to a spectacular victory in tho SIO,OOO Chesapeake stakes at Havre de Grace recently. Another which is being rated highly is Saxon, property of Mrs. Payne Whitney. Hopeful followers of Osmand were greatly encouraged Monday when the Widener ace stepped two miles over the Downs course. Earl Sande was up the last half of tho workout. The victory of Bewithus over four other Derby candidates at Lexington Monday stamped him as one of the best of the Bradley entries. A brief sum-up of Derby eligibles at this time reveals twenty horses who have shown themselves to be tirst rate animals. They are: Saxon, Whiskery, Bewithus, War Eagle! Black Panther, Bostonian, Rolled Stockings, Hydromel, Buddy Bauer, 800, Candy Queen, Sweepster, Valorous, Nor’easter, Chairman, Royal Julian, Fred Jr., Rio Rap, Jopagan and Fair Star. Taking all in all the Derby appears to be an extremely open race this year. If-just the twenty named above paraded to the wire a week from Saturday race followers would see a field equal to any that paraded to the post in previous renewals.
