Day. of of ; lot Buster Keaton seems to be considerable of Wi was a two year old. At any rate, he has gone ie ri about his business of winning race? in such .he a highly workmanlike and satisfactory fashion n bi but that just now he is far away the leader of the ie Ss winning two-year-olds of 1923. He seems is well gifted with speed, the first requisite of a a real race horse, carries weight well and battles „ out a finish lik? a sure enough warrior of the ing race track. Presumably he will come East st presently. Then we shall see how he will ill comport himself in clashing with more gifted ;d W. opponents than he has met so far. Apparently ly fc for his sire. Atheling II., was a fortunate purchase se hi he for owner and breeder George W. Wingfield. d. rn Last year the progeny of Atheling II. made je to N a decided impression in eastern racing, and id ™ now comes this young son of his to give a a tl decidedly emphatic hint that more good things gs b are to be expected this year from the same ae source. At the outset men of experience and nj n theories about blood lines would probably have ve it lt given Hcneywood preference over Atheling. ,g to but the latter is outbreeding him notably. |y J However. Honeywood was a good race horse. se ■ fashionably bred and may presently demon- in_ c strate that the Nevada breeder has two sue- 1C. ¥ cestui stallions, instead of only one. Buster i = Keaton now has approximately 7,000 to his ? a credit, which is quite imposing for so early in 1 t the year. a Speaking of a hint from Buster Keaton, , c Lady Choco was not long about putting in i z another. r General Thatcher may not have had much 2 1 to beat in his first race cf the year, but what t I he had to do he accomplished like a gentle- .. man. His Kentucky Derby backers now have e • something cheering to take comfort in. Certainly New Orleans form was given a a I fillip when Setting Sun galloped away with the e ■ first stake race of the Eastern campaign. To 0 beat such horses as Lair Phantom, Broomster ,- and Tippity Witchet was no small performance. a Who is going to win this years Kentucky-Derby? y What chance has this or that horse? ? Such are the everyday questions one now w hears in Chicago and Kentuckys famous race * will not be run until May 19. Never since the ie days of our own noted American Derby has ■ there been so much interest manifested in a a horse race. It seems to be a "racing" fever ;r instead of "spring" fever in the Chicago at ■Mphere. Certain it is signs are not wanting ig that the sport loving people of Chicago and id the State of Illinois crave the opportunity to to enjoy the same pleasures permitted in neighboring h- states, but long denied them. There re is a cherished hope that the dawn of a new era ra is in si.ht and that we may see at home what at now we are forced to travel many miles to to witness. In the meantime Chicago is not only ly talking and speculating as to the probable outcome it- of Kentuckys greatest race, but is preparing e- to go in large numbers to Louisville i ? a 1 t a , c i z r 2 1 t I .. e • a a I e ■ 0 ,- a y ? w * ie ■ a a ;r ig id to to h- re era ra at to to ly it- e- and gather at Churchill Downs with the , thousands of other sport -loving people from all parts of this country to see the aristocrats , of the thoroughbred world vie for the honor and gold that go to the winner of that famous 5 race.
