Brotheis astride, lie went to his task like the good colt he undoubtedly is. The timers caught him the first quarter in 24. half in 48%. three-quarters in 1 :15%, seven-eighths in 1 :29 and mile in 1 :43. This is by far the fastest mile any of the Derby candidates have shown at either of the Louisville tracks S3 far. That Prince K. is one of the most improved three-year-olds shown here has been reported and his exercise gallop today bears out all predictions as to his forward condition. » No less sensational was the workout of Lord Granite. Trainer "Slim" Ownbey sent the Louchheim colt over the three-quarters of a mile route in 1 :14%. The first quarter was ••aught in 2::%. half in 47%, five-eighths in 1 : ■%. The colt pulled up sound and gave evidence that he is one of the type which can cover a long route. Bo McMillan was given a fast half, which he did in 59. The Ballot colt seems to be in great condition and is due to turn in some fast work in a few-days. nilin GALLOP WELL. Alice Blue down and Miss Muffins worked together.
