HALTS DERBY ACTIVITIES » Adverse Weather Conditions Slow Down Training Operations. • Recollection Proves a Hardy Thorough bred — Parkview Stuble Horses of Mucli Promise. ♦ LOUISVILLE. Ky.. April 1.- Adverse weather and track conditions at Churchill Ikewns again served to slow down training operations, and as a result very few gallops were recorded. In a majority of instances shed work was the rule. The prolongation of cold and disagreeable weather is seriously handicapping the training of the horses and is causing trainers no little anxiety. This applies more particularly to those who have Kentucky Derby eligibles in their keeping, and they are becoming alarmed lest their charges be unprepared to go the one mile and a quarter on the afternoon of May 15. However, there remains sufficient time in which to condition the colts, provided there is an early change for the better la weather conditions. George Barnes, trainer of Kohn and Theis-. sens Derby aspirant. Recollection, is one horseman who is not awaiting the advent of fair weather, for he is going right along with the conditioning of the son of Jim Gaffney and Memories H., regardless of weather or track conditions. SEEDING RECOLLECTION ALONG. Wednesday morning over a sloppy track and in the teeth of a windswept rainstorm. Recollection, in the company of Barnesdale II., was galloped three-quarters for the first time since his spring training had begun. With Harry Gray in the saddle and under a steady pull, the big bay colt traversed the distance in 1:27, and in the opinion of his trainer could have worked along in 1:18 had he been given free rein. The colt appeared to relish the mud and was in a running mood. This was the only Derby work recorded during the morning hours. Emil Herz was an early visitor to inspect his stable* and for his edification trainer J. S. Anderson galloped a number of his two-year-olds. Mr. Herz was especially pleased by the showing of two of the number, these being a colt by Wildair — Hanovia, and a colt ■ by Jim Gaffney -Mary Iowell. The youngsters went out together and rattled off three-eighths in :44. The division of the H. T. Archibald stable, in charge of George Arvin, is due to reach here from Miami some time today.
