RACE CLASSIC MAY PROVE T0 BE KING SPORT Five Horses Nominated for Kentucky Derby Have “King” Names LOUISVILLE. May 2—The Ken- tucky Derby this year might in- deed turn out to be a sport of the kings. The kings in this instance con- cerns the nominees. Among the 103 eligibles are five horses which have “King” in their names. There are Bourbon King and My- thical King, King Balboaa, King Pharamond and King's Heir. What a spot for the boys who write about the race if all the “Kings” go to the finish in the money! There are other horses with “title” names. In this group are Goy. Chandler, Sir Ally, Sir Raleigh, The Chief, Dr. Holmes and Con- | gressman. There is a wide assortment of ‘animal” and “bird” names in the :233‘1151, especially in ‘he “fox” line. There are Fighting Fox and Wise Fox, for mstance, plus Blind Eagle. Tiger, Tiger Teddy, Redbreast and Brown Moth. In the “clothes” line are Chaps, Cravat and Crepe. The “light” group has a strong entry of Torchlight, Traffic Light and Legal Light. Stagehand and Hollywood Ace form another group. And there are a Sound Wave and a C-Note, too. Two sports—Co-Sport and Gen- uine Sport also are among the nom- inees. Can’t Wait is one of the most un- usual names in the group. It recalls the 1921 Derby winner’s name— Behave Yourself. Just to illustrate what can be done with some of the names of prospec- tive starters, here’s an example (names in quotes): Wonder if “Robber e “Invincible” and “Walkaway” with the “Pin Money” at one | “Gallant Stroke” or whether the | “Commission” of “Joe Schenck,” | “Willlam Palmer” and “Stephen |Jay,” -armed with a ‘Bull Whip,” “Gang- Bold” will 3 {will make him walk the Miss Greichen De Leo, arrived on | plank?” the Mt.
