The railbirds like the robins forecast the season. “There’s gold in them watches,” the clockers aver as each day workouts for the Kentucky Derby May 19, are held. Even when a horse is run by the light of the moon and lanterns, the alert track followers usually are present, with a finger on the stop watch stem, As the season opens, it is noted by turf associations that more new blood has been infused into the Sport in the last year than in any decade in the history of the track. A larger number of new owners have gone in for racing during the last two years than in any 20 pre- ceding years. Officials predict 1928 will be the peak year in the sport. Training activities of the Derby candidates are showing consider- able stimulation and among the eligibles, J. J.
