MINNIE ADAMS IS A SAVAGE MARE. Trainer "Bill" Phillips says Minnie Adams, Fred Cooks winner of two Derbys this year, is a man-eater. "Minnie Adams is the only horse I ever saw that I am afraid of. She would kill ine in an instant if opportunity presented itself," said Phillips at Louisville a day or two ago. "She is an unreliable performer and I never bet on her but once, and that was the first time I sent her to the post. Minnie Adams is a. mystery. She will not make up with her rubber, she refuses to be paced by any other horse, she has no use for a goat and no use on earth for a man. The closest individual to Tier is H. Smith, who weighs 73 pounds. He rides her in her workouts. Not long ago Minnie Adams tried to kill Daye Nicol. He only rides her in races. How do I train her? I let her have her own way; There is nothiug else for me to do uuless I want to take my life in my hands."
