s Flood Fazls to Dampen Derby : LOUSHILLEMAYOR | PROVES OPTIIST Assures Race Manager 1937 Party May Be Best in Classic’s History. By the Associated Press. HICAGO, February 6.—The worst flood in the history of Louisville will be no barrier to the sixty-third running of the Kentucky Derby, America's No. 1 horse race. Col. Matt Winn, cheered by a tele- gram from Neville Miller, Mayor of Louisville, that the old Kentucky hos- pitality and spirit would be extended to Derby visitors as of yore, left to« night for Louisville to make prepara- tions for the race to be decided at | Churchill Downs on May 8. Col. Winn has been the man behind the race for the last 36 years. He saw the first Derby back in 1875 as a youngster from the back end of his father's delivery wagon. Race Track Little Damaged. CHL‘RCHILL DOWNS was dam- | aged only slightly by the flood.” Col. Winn said. “The best answer to any stories concerning the condition of the track and the plant is that already six stables are at the Downs, with horses galloping every morning. I have assurances from both Tom Young, track superintendent, and Col. O'Sullvan, the resident manager, that everything is in good condition. Mayor Miller wired Col. Winn that the water had departed, and that the city was busy cleaning up and will be ready, well in advance, for the | biggest Derby of them all. The rarei again will carry the $50.000 added | Value that it did from 1022 through | to 1933. N AYOR MILLER'S telegram to Col. Winn follows: “Louisville has just gone through the worst flood in its history, but. u‘ will take many times more than th: to keep the Kentucky Derby, ~rh€d~ uled for May 8, from being the best Derby in history. “The water has departed. cleaning up now, and we are :omg‘ to show our visitors that the old hos- | pitality, the real Kentucky spirit, suill is here, and we shall be prepared lo‘ take care of them in splendid siyle. “As Mayor of Louisville I pledge to you my entire co-operation In every plan you have under way year's Derby. tendent of the track, and I have just discussed conditions, and I want to| thank him, you and ¥ 3anization for the splendid assistance given us in meeting this catastrophe. “Louisville right now is looking tor- ward to that pleasant day in May when we all shall use our best judg- ment, but afer all we all agree in the statement, ‘May the best horse win.'” e Hlaleah Park Entries for Tomorrow.

THE -SUNDAY Selections for Fast Track at Hialeah Park Tomorrow. BEST BET—RADIO CHARM. FIRST RACE—RADIO CHARM, CONNIPTION, SINGING SLAVE. RADIO CHARM, a colt in the Mrs. E. Denemark barn, appears to be one of the ranking youngsters in Florida. After being given an educational test in his first outing by Trainer Bert Mitchell, he was called on to do his best in two subsequent starts and responded with a pair of sterling victories. In his last outing he won despite being interferred with in the late stages. He is the best bet of the day. SECOND RACE—REIGH HELEN, ELIZABETH FARLEY, PEN- NINE. REIGH HELEN, a 3-year-old filly in the Mrs. John J. Hertz barn, may be the surprise winner of the second. She has been on the side lines since November 9 at Pimlico, where she raced in poor style. A well-bred daughter of Reigh Count, this lassie, however, has been really going to town in her morning trials and the 7 fur- long distance will be just about Tight. THIRD RACE—MY WHOPPER, MARSON. MY COLIN appears to have a heavy edge in class over the sprinters in the third, and he has so much the best of the weights that he looks like one of the standout plays on the bill. The only thing needed to win this 6'2- furlong dash is for him to repeat his last effort, when he finished a short margin in back of Epical and Judge Leer. WHOPPER has been showing startling improvee ment recently. COLIN, FOURTH RACE—ANGLO SAXON, . BAIN MARIE, JUB JUB. ANGLO SAXON was sent to the post as a good thing to beat such fancy hides as Aftermath, Noel H, Glamorous, etc., in his last outing, but Jockey Earl Porter took good care of him and had him in trouble throughout the journey. He was full of run that day, but under the circumstances it would have taken a super horse to score. FIFTH RACE—ZAY, BULWARK, GENIE PALATINE. ZAY, an honest filly in Mrs. Robert R. Heighe's stable, has been to the post three times in Florida, and on each occasion she appeared to be short. She had all of ‘her clever early foot, but couldn’t stand the gaff when the real racing be- gan. She is nicely suited in this mile event and we believe will show sharp improvement. SIXTH RACE—BUGLE ANN, IPSO FACTO, SORCERESS. BUGLE ANN has raced only once at Hialeah and she acted so fractious at the barrier that it hurt her chances considerably. She unseated her rider several times, straddled the starting gate, and was away very poorly. Prior to that at Tropical she displayed keen speed. SEVENTH RACE—BROTHER NEWT, YONKEL, BUSBY. BROTHER NEWT, a steed that has been racing in company far over his head in recent starts, ap- pears to have an excellent chance at long odds in the seventh. He has been given a special prep for. this mile and three-sixteenths event and, in with only 102 pounds, he will take a world of beating. YONKEL'S condition is doubtful, but he loves the long muu N0 SIR SURPRISES. CHANCEVIEW FLES AT HIALIK PARK Wins Bahama Nearly Length Ahead of Eli Yale—Log, Choice, Is Ninth, E5 the Associated Press.

MERICAN owners have been “invading” the English turf for many years, but they seldom have fared better than in 1936. The outlook is bright for an even more successful campaign for American thoroughbreds abroad this season. Our own Omaha, who won the Ken- tucky Derby, the ! Preakness and the Belmont Stakes in 1835, was the leader of the troop of Americen horses sent over for last year's racing. At the end of '36 he was called the best distance horse over there by many of the experts, even though he failed to win the fa- mous Ascot Gold Oup. Perifox and Sansalvo, two more of Earl Sande, William Woodward's American breds, | gained high rank among England's 1936 2-year-olds in Arthur Fawcett's Free Handicap, while Marshall Field's Foray proved to be the leading money- was rated at the very top of the Free Handicap. Omaha to Try Again. OCK" WHITNEY'S American-bred filly, Night Song. was one of the topnotchers of the 2-year-old fillies, and another of Woodward's horses, Boswell, beat the Epsom Derby win- ner, Mahmoud, for the St. Leger. Yes, sir, it was a big vear for Amer- icans in England. The English may never allow American horses to be registered as thoroughbreds in the Stud Book, but they must admit we are breeding them just as fast and Just as stout as thev do anywhere. I was e-pecially interested in the doings of Perifox and Omaha abroad, for I used to ride their old daddy, Gal- | lant Fox, for Mr. Woodward. It is | pleasing news to all Americans that the chairman of our jockey club is £9ing to allow Omaha to stay in Eng- land this vear, to give him another chance at that Ascot Gold Cup. The Ascot Cup is the race in which Reigh Count was second when he went abroad to try for it in 1929, An American champion who could win it would gain international pres- tige and that is & reason Mr. Wood- | ward s most anxious that Omaha add the cup to his imposing string of stakes victories over here, Epsom Derby Victory Coveted. THE Epsom Derby is another n' England’s and the world's turf wanted to win. The race dates back to 1781. An American horse won it when Iroquois beat the field in 1881, racing under the colors of Pierre Lore illard. He was reared at Erdenheim, the historic Pennsylvania farm that is now the Winter and training quarters of George Widener’s horses. Iroquois must have been a slick horse. They say he used to like to run and fizht when he was a younz- ster in the paddocks at Erdenheim, catching up a cornstalk in his teeth and running through the other colts Just daring them to try to catch him and take it away from him. That's the sort of spirit that makes a race horse. Maybe Perifox can do as well for Mr. Woodward and America at Epsom | this year as Iroquois did for Mr. Lor- illard so long ago. A lot of ‘English raflbirds were picking him for an Ep- | som Derby prospect last Summer. ;| Most American horses who have done anvthing to boast about abroad have shipped over when they were vearlings or were given plenty of time to get used to England and English tracks and training before Y did it. It seems to me that, all things be- ing equal. a good horse in one country is a good horse anywhere. I think Omaha and his troop of “invaders” in England have proved that we are rearing top-class animals. | despite the fact the descendants of | Lexington are “half-breeds” in the eves of tie publishers of the English | Stud Book. | (Copyright, 1437 or in pary mission.) 7.
