T c MCDOWELL NOW MORE CONFIDENT THAN EVER THAT THATTHE THE MANAGER WILL WIN THE KENTUCKY DERBY Louisville Ky April 17 The chief topic of conversation among the horsemen at Churchill Downs and Douglas Park is the speed shown by The Manager in his fast six furlongs trial yesterday While 113 is not a recordbreaking performance still it is extraordinarily good for a threeyearold that could not possibly be keyed up for a raci thus early in his training Previously he bar gone a mile in 14J and then about a week later the same distance in 144 Except for his work of yesterday these are the only occasions on which lie has been in any way called on to show speed speedHorsemen Horsemen are impressed with the manner in which lie comes out of all his Derby work Hi does not appear to be distressed at any time ano right after his trials he is back in his stall eating everything in sight Just how good Tlitf Manage is no one can even guess but he acts like a grea race horse and so far his preparation has been a satisfactory as any horse that ever trained for tin Derby at the Downs It is now the general ide that Worth will have to be at his best to bea The Manager here on Mav 11 and it is no secre that Maj T C McDowell does not believe tin Hallenbeck 10000 crack has much chance to bea his son of Voter Major McDowell won the Ken Micky Derby with that brilliant race horse Allan aDale and he knows what it takes to win thi great event but as highly as he regarded thai famous son of Halma it Is as nothing compare to what he thinks of The Manager AllanaDah was also not the only great threeyearold tha Major McDowell ever owned as Batten was a the same age a colt of high class But as remark able as was the whirlwind speed of Batten it i not the equal of the phenomenal dash of this soi of Voter VoterThe The only thing that is giving Major McDowel concern is the fact that his great colt does no like the mud If lie had the assurance that tht track would be fast to a certainty on Derby Day he would doubtless be willing to wager all tin handbooks In the country would be willing to la against his crack The chances are more favor able than ordinarily for a fast track at the Down Derby Day as the date for the race this season it set later in May a time of the year when fail weather usually prevails in this vicinity Wher last the Derby was run in the inud It was on r date fully a week earlier than the day set for it running this season seasonThe The Manager is not the whole show at the tw local tracks for quite a sensational performance was shown by the Kentucky Oaks candidate Tillie Nightmare at the Downs Tills filly a sister t Wintergreen the Kentucky Derby winner of 1909 worked five furlongs iu better than 103 unde conditions that led to the belief that if stretche out to her limit she could have gone the distanci in close to 100 She is just the reverse of tin McDowell colt in that she is a superior mud run ner and in case the Oaks should be run on a hcavj track her owner L P Doerhoefer feels sanguim that she will win She appears to be a much im ¬ proved threeyearold Mr Doerhoefer has a likely band of twoyearolds besides this filly and tbi promising Jilly Ursula Emma EmmaThe The tracks at Churchill Downs and Douglas Park were a sea of mud and slush today and the Ken ¬ tucky Derby candidates were prevented from doing anything like fast work It was a morning prin ¬ cipally utilized by the veterans of the track and so eral of these racers did creditable work Trance went threeeighths in and her stable compan ¬ ion Al Muller worked a half in 52 Sir Catesby went a mile in 155 and Explicit covered the same distance in 158 Leopold and Flying Feet worked threequarters in 121 OSullivan and the hall sister to Sir Wilfred went three furlongs in 395s cantering the last quarter in M This was the bus work done by the twoyearolds twoyearoldsM M J Winn manager of the New Louisville Jockey Club announced today that no purse of less
