months in advance Overnight indications are that the Kentucky classic will be staged under ideal conditions and never before runningWith in all the history of the prize has there been more enthusiasm on the eve of the running With seventeen of the best threeyearolds that can be mustered all ready for the word it is probable there will be withdrawals before post time that will reduce the field to twelve starters still in the hope that there may come rain and heavy track the proposed field is of this number And possibly never before has there been a running of the Derby in which the outstanding juvenile champions back came to it fight out as threeyearolds threeyearoldsToo Too often one or the other of the juvenile champions has failed to train for the Derby and there have been years when the big prize was won by a colt that later in the year was unable to and on himself carry prove the champion that such a race should demand A notable instance of that was in the running last year when Gifford A Cochrans Flying Ebony was returned the winner Flying Ebony was a good colt the day he the won Derby but he was pounds from such away a colt as American Flag And there have been other re ¬ newals where by reason of accident or backwardness in training the best threeyearold was not shown in the running Here are the seventeen glorious creatures of the thoroughbred world that v ill strive for the great prize and honor that goes to the winner of the Kentucky Derby with Bubbling Over Pompey Canter and Display the pronounced choices PP Horse CoLSex Pedigree PedigreeNorth Rider Breeder

KENTUCKY DERBY TODAY Continued from first page Walter J Salmons Preakness winner Display made his first appearance since his arrival from Maryland and in company with J O Keenes Champ de Mars went along for a good smart fiveeighths in 101 25 This was just a breezing exercise for the son of Fair Play but Champ de Mars continued for the full three quarters and when he had to be driven to cover that distance in 115 it did not make his chance for the Derby look particularly bright brightTom Tom Healey who developed Display was present for the work of the Preakness winner and he was thoroughly satisfied with the move As a matter of fact no trainer is more confident of victory than this same Healey HealeyBill Bill Spires brought out William Zieglers Espino and sent him along at a brisk gallop of fiveeighths in 102 35 The son of Negofol is one of the hand ¬ somest thoroughbreds in training and he is ready to run W E Smith who will ride him in the Derby had the mount this morning and after completing the five eighths as reported he was pulled up the threequarters in 115 115Rock Rock Man which is to carry the Sagamore Stable silks had an easy halfmile in 49 as his final He was
