SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1926. Sev PICK OF AMERICA’S PO- NIES LINED UP FOR GREAT TURF EVENT TODAY AY (By Associated Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 15.— The field of 164 colts, fi geldings, nominated in March for the Kentucky derby at Churchill Downs today narrowed down over might to 17 crack colts. In thir number, expected to be reduced by several last minute ‘scratches, are the pick of America’s three year olds primed for the race of their careers in the county's pre. mier turf event. For the race at a mile and a quarter and carrying an added purse of $50,000 and a gold cup, the over-night entries are Pom- pey and Bubbling Over, favorite and second choice respectively. The other fifteen, any one of whom might come through the race to immortal fame are: Boot to Boot Light Carbine, Rock Man, Baggen baggage, Take a Chance, Blondin, Champ de Mars, Espino, Recollec. tion, Canter, Display, Bolton, Rhinock and Roy Crofter, Indications were for perfect weather and track conditions to- day, instead of the lowering skies that turned forth a deluge last year. The weather for the last week has been clear and just a bit more brisk than Kentucky usually experiences in May, and for today the official forecast was “partly cloudy and cooler, pos- showers Saturday.” As post and| enteen Crack Colts Entered In Kentu | Are cky Derb THE KEY WEST.

The stellar showing boosted Bubbling Over’s stock considerably as a Derby favorite, Bubbling Over is from the celebrated Bradley stables. And that in itself means quite a bit. several important starts in 1925, among them the Champagne stakes and the Nursey Handicap.
