Fifteen horses, top weight—I126 pounds—today were announced to start in the mile-and-a- quarter classic for three-year olds. The list includes Black Servant, Be- N Churchill Downs tomorrow. Every So far as these New Yorkers were concerned there was one outstanding favorite, Harry Payne Whitney Tryster. but as all had a keen recol- . at since 1815—when the fllly through over a fast favorite has won. the was wholesome respect expressed fo the chances of several of the riv ‘which the son of Peter Pan will have Vto beat. d First Run in 1875 The first Kentuc &t Churchill Downs es took the event, and the stake netted his owner 0 Vi purse for those days. was that famous duel between Proc- tor Knott and Spokane in the derby for a purse 900. When Paul Jones won last year the victory was worth $30.375. Tomorrow's stake will be the rich est_in the history of the American turf.

Slow Track Neot Unusual Of course, a great deal of the con- wversation on the train referred to had to do with the condition of the track. Derby history records many fast tracks. but in the past three runnings e course has not been satisfactory. In 1918 Exterminator waded through mud to win. In 1919 Sir Barton won through heavy going. and last year Paul Jones was victorious on a slow track: So, if the weather man has any sense of justice at all he will pro-| vide a track as fast 4s that over Which mar Khayyam sped to victory in 91 Favorites Sel ore. In the past ten years three favorites have scored. Worth, a heavy favorite, won jn 1912, and Old Rosebud, an odds-on steed. copped in 1914. ‘The first favorite came through on a mud- dy track. the second on a fast course. Regret, the 1915 winner, a mild fa- vorite, had fast conditions. - So, it can hardly be said that track conditions have played much of a part in affect- ing the outcome of the Kentucky classic. It is interesting to note ‘that win- ning favorites came close together in 19121914 and 1915. But 1813 proved a big exception, the race going to Donerail. who was an outsider to the extent of something like 90 to 1. Ex- rminator was another outside win- . 1918. He returned 30 to 1. Sir victory in 1919 was not ex- Ppected and Paul Jones, who won last year, was an outsider. (Copyright, 1921.) ‘Women Roll 2,482 at Tenpins. CLEVELAND.
