WILL ZEV AVENGE HIS RECENT DEFEAT? Here are the principals in todays great sporting sweepstakes to be run at Churchill Downs before an attendance mat is expected to closely approach, if not surpass in numbers, the immense crowd that witnessed this years Kentucky Derby. Will Zev avenge his defeat in the recent Latonia Championship Stakes when In Memoriam ran away from the Rancocas star in the last eighth of that memorable one mile and three-quarters struggle? This is the all-absorbing question on the eve of the race. There are many who believe that the shorter distance of a mile and a quarter will favor the Eastern invader. However, Kentuckians in general and Carl Wiedemann and his trainer, Bob Gilmore, in particular, are confident that In Memoriam will again triumph over Americas largest money winner in the same decisive manner th?-t marked his recent victory. Be that as it may, the great gathering at Churchill Downs today should witness a remarkable battle between these giants of the thoroughbred world and no matter whether it be In Memoriam or Zev, the winner will be hailed in the usual vigorous American style and rightly acclaimed the champion three-year-old of the year. . . ;j jjj jj rj j il y WmMM i S 1 I : II j
