Longden Sure He Will Bring Count in 1st

By TOMMY DEVINE .. United Press Staff .Correspondent "LOUISVILLE, Ky. April 28— Count Fleet will carry 126 pounds when he goes to the post the prohibitive favorite in Saturday’s Ken‘tucky Derby, and 116 of those pounds 1 be the wizened form of Johnny Longden. The other 10 will be saddle sack weights. ; . "Longden, long one of the nation’s premier jockeys, normally rides at ; 112 pounds. ‘¥¢T let myself get fat,” he said _ _ with a chuckle, “so the Count would © "fnot have quite so much deadweight | to carry.” - Although there have been many . thrills crowded into his 33-year life, Johnny expects this week to be his happiest one. He will be aboard the favorite and expects to become a father for the second time. Mrs. Longden, the daughter of Al Tarn, veteran Canadian horseman for whom Johnny rode early in his career, is now at Jamaica, N. Y, and : the doctor has predicted the baby / : will be born Derby day. ed _ 4th Ride in Classie Although he’s captured most of the major stakes during his 15-year '} career, Longden has never been up on a derby winner. This is his * fourth derby mount. He was fourth on Melodist in 1937, fifth on Sir ~ Occo in 1940' and fourth on With 2 . Regards last season. : § ‘Longden is a native of Wakefield, ¥ngland. He spent his boyhood at Taber, Alberta, Canada, and it was there that he became interested in Bs horses. © 7 Longden spent seven years on the Fk circuit” before he headed East itry the major ovals. He rapidly veloped into a top-notcher. +»During his lengthy career Johnny has ridden 1998 winners, ..In 1938 Longden led all riders in victc with 236 winners. Last season he visited the winner’s circle 158 times and his mounts won an ; aggregate of $364,879. Only two ridNN gee exceeded that total.

ith Derby Trial Victory That ssic Is Not One-Horse Race

By TOMMY DEVINE Si ‘ ; United Press Staff Correspondent - LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 28.—The “solid South,” which has backed Count Fleet for the Kentucky Derby with the same undivided devotion it gives a Democratic candidate, began to show signs of weakening to‘alarm to the candidacy of the Calumet farm’s

the Derby Saturday, but the turf’s $75,000 classic may not turn out to be the one-horse race’ that many experts predicted. Ocean Wave gained considerable support by his sterling nine-length victory in yesterday’s Derby trial. The Calumet colt was off by himself after the ‘horses hit the stretch and, although not extended in the slightest, he navigated the mile on an extremely sloppy ‘track in

Trained by Jones’ The new support for Ocean Wave isn’t based solely on his showing yesterday, however. Much of it stems from the fact the sleek chestnut is trained by shrewd old Ben A, Jones, one of the turf's master magicians in getting a horse ready for a big stake. Back in 1938, when Jones was training for the Woolford farm, he came to Churchill Downs with the lightly regarded Lawrin. Fighting Fox was regarded as a “shoo-in” that year, but the giant floral horseshoe, the gold cup and the winner’s share of the purse went to Jones’ horse. Fighting Fox was a badly whipped sixth, In 1941, Jones saddled another Derby winner—Whirlaway. The patience and ability moon-faced Ben showed with the wacky “whirly” won him universal respect among his fellow horsemen. Now he has a chance to turn in another remarkable feat if Ocean Wave can finish the ‘run for the roses” in front of Count Fleet, who figures to go to the barrier the shortest priced favorite in Derby history.

Supremely Satisfied

Jones makes no predictions, but he was supremely satisfied with Ocean Wave's victory in the Derby trial. “That was the best race of his career,” he said. “It’s asking a lot of a horse to beat Count Fleet, for he’s a real good one, but I wouldn’t

track unless I thought he had a chance.” Jones recalled that in 1940 Col. E. R. Bradley’s Bimelech was rated just as Count Fleet is now. “It didn’t look then like anybody had a chance,” Jones said. “I thought Bimelech was one of the best I'd ever seen, but when it.came Derby day, Gallahadion beat him. I am not predicting anything, but Ocean Wave rates higher now than Gallahadion three years ago.” Jones scoffed at reports Ocean Wave had come out of the Derby trial sore and might not be able to go to the post Saturday. Has Cracked Hoof “He was a ‘bit gimpy when he pulled up,” Ben stated, “but it was nothing serious. He had a cracked hoof and it was aggravated, but

handle the Derby route of a mile and a quarter without any trouble.” Ocean Wave was well back of the pace for the first half mile of the

Oplumbiana and he responded perfectly. By the time the field hit the head of the stretch Ocean Wave was in front by four lengths and from then on it merely was a question of how wide the winning margin would be. W. E. Boeing’s Slide Rule finished second and the Milky Way farm's No Wrinkles was third in the field of 13.
