WHITNEY AND THE liENTUCKY DERBY. New Yorkers Colors Sure to Be Represented in Classic, Says Trainer Jimmy Rowo. Trainer Jimmy Rowe says that all of the Whitney horses, in his charge down on the New Jersey farm, are in fine condition. Also that the ones being wintered at the old Benning track are getting along well. Asked if he would have entries for the Kentucky Derby, the Whitney stable trainer replied that he most certainly expected to go after that rich stake. "Im glad of it," he said, when told that it had been reported that Mr. Wilson would not enter Campfire and that Mr. Belmont would not allow the name of Hoiirlees to appear among the entries. "It suits me just as well not to have those two good ones to consider. There will be enough in the race without having to worry about such stars. All I know is that Im going to make another try." He did not say just which of his present two-year-olds he would enter.
