I j i DERBY CANDIDATES ACTIVE Martie Flynn, Mickey D., Dodg- son and Lieutenant Mansfield in Slow Gallops. LEXINGTON", Ky., April 9.— While a heavy track yesterday brought training operations at the local course to a standstill, the improved or slow track this morning opened the way for a resumption of brisk preparation. Yesterdays suspension of work naturally resulted in a great number of racers indulging in brief blowouts today and tomorrow when a fast track is likely. The most extensive period of spring training is looked for. Horses scheduled to be set down for ambitious work tomorrow include practically all of the outstanding candidates for the Kentucky Derby under preparation here. This morning. C. W. Moores Martie Flynn and Lieutenant Mansfield and Col. R. L. Bakers Col. Board were opened up for more exacting work tomorrow, and R. S. Clarks Dark Eagle.
