Only Rain May Change Derby Picture

By JACK WELSH

Times Sports Writer

CHURCHILL DOWNS, '

Louisville, Ky., May 2—Kentuckians will tell you Derby Eve in Louisville is the greatest show on earth. And there are thousands of turf enthusiasts jamming this city today who can prove it. Their biggest tussle isn't el-| bow room at al bar or sleeping | accommoda-| tions, . o The once-a-|

“dark horse” to]

bucks go farther when the field goes to the post in the 78th Kentucky Derby tomorrdw afternoon at this rustic racing plant. It now appears 16 thoroughbreds may answer the bugle for America’s No. 1 horse race. And

Headed by the 8-to-1 second choice Blue Man from the White Oak stable of New York, 10 hopefuls for the Kentucky Derby jumped the gun yesterday and _ dropped their official entries in the box. The favored Hill Gail still was to be heard from.

Jack Welsh

out of the pack comes the question, “Is there anything arotnd to beat Hill Gail?” » » . THIS LARGEST of Kentucky cities will make merry tonight but from the revelry and hard liquor comes the sobering thought that horses making a bid for the foses, not to mention $98,050 good American dollars, should have quite a chase with the Calumet beauty. For a while it looked like this Derby field might-produce cofavorites but wher Hill Gail carrie?

The horse was clocked at 1.35 2-5. Horsemen and sports writers here made one quick conclusion— the horse that might beat Hill Gail tomorrow wasn’t in the Derby Trial.

” » ” SPORTS WRITERS here ‘are putting the play on the possibility of rain for tomorrow's Big One. If the showers. fall—the weatherman says they will— the picture may be altered. Trainer 8S. E. Veitch, who hopes to saddle Cold Command for the mile - and - a - quarter grind, had surprising views about a muddy track. “If it's muddy we might keep Cold Command in the barn,” This is a perplexing statement on a horse that finished second to Gushing Oil in the slop at Keeneland recently. Veitch contends the course here at Churchill Downs is much different from the compact plant at Lexington. Remembering Cold Command's performance here one rainy day last year, Veitch said the Whitney colt “couldn’t stand up in the slop.” The opinion among shed row’s fraternity is it will have to be mighty sloppy tomorrow to keep Cold Command indoors. 4 " td = - THE POSSIBILITY of mud would definitely bolster chances of such runners as Pintor, Hannibal, Arroz, Eternal ‘Moon, Smoke Screen, Swoop and Brown Rambler. ~ Mrs. M. duPont Scott's Pintor has tremendous early ‘speed and may be one of the few colts that can run with Hill Gall coming out of the gate.
