April 11.— The Green-tree Stables Kentucky Derby and Oaks candidate Einkey worked three-quarters in 1:14% at Churchill Downs Friday morning, the fastest time at the distance recorded j j thus far by any Derby aspirant at either of the local tracks this year. The move was I i I most impressive and convinced trainer Clyde i Phillips that the fdly is in prime condition to race. The work was eminently praiseworthy. The track was not in first-rate condition, being somewhat slow from recent rains. Binkey is not what is regarded as a good work mare. Jockey F. Thorndyke was astride I the filly and, beginning from the five-eighths post, she ran the quarter in :24, the three-eighths in :o6, half in :48% and five-eighths in 1 :01%. The filly was allowed to go a]i:ig and race on her own courage for the first live-eighths, but in the final eighth Thorndyke took hold of her and, still eager to run, she finished out the three-quarters in 1 :14%. Binkey raced all winter at New Orleans and is in an advanced state of training. It is trainer 1hillips intention to ship her to Ix-xington to start in the Ashland Oaks, after which she will be returned to Churchill Downs to carry the colors in the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks.
