Churchill Downs this morning and worked tlie full Derby distance He had J Nolan in the saddle and about bis Derby weight up Ten Point worked like a horse that will not do his best in a trial and as a consequence his mile and a quarjer was far slower than yesterdays brilliant perform ¬ ance of his great rival Foundation His admirers also found an excuse for him in the fact that while superintendent Keegan had sprinkled and rolled the track last night the going is still a bit cunpy and seemed to break a bit under a horse like A L Astes son of Jack Point With the track in the condition that it is likely to lie on Saturday Ten Point doubtless will find it more to his liking The trial of today gave him the work that is necessary to prepare him for his best effort in Saturdays classic At least
