Y., on the afternoon of the run- ning of the 62nd Kentucky Derby. The dean of American trotting horse trainers had to forego the jaunt to Louisville this year and 1 1 2 had to remain at home, where he: is regaining his health after a siege of illness. The talk naturally drifted to the big race at Chur- chill Downs. “What horse will win the Der- by?” He considered, carefully weighing the question which had been put to him. “Well, I don't know—but it won't be Brevity.” “And why mot?

I'll tell you what I'll do—TI'll give you 7 to 5 that he doesn’t win.” in world record i | | | Cox Collects There was nothing to do but put up or shut up. So several of the group dug up dollar bills and laid ithem on the table. When ‘the report of the race came through, Cox smilingly col- lected his winnings.

Last year in the Arlington Futurity he suf- fered an injury that threatened to end his racing days before they had really begun. Later he escaped from a fire in a railroad car in which two other thoroughbreds were fatally burned. There was nothing flukey about his victory in the Kentucky Derby. He won like a real champion. Get- ting none the best of it at the break from the barrier, Bold Ven- ture worked his way up to a con- | tending position ufider a fine ride | by Ira Hanford, his jockey. Racing {to the front when going into the far turn, he fought off a determ- ined bid on the part of the high- |ly favored Brevity and finished full of fight.
