1 MANY LEXINGTON WORKOUTS • Dodgson, Col. Bob and Hiram Continue to Show Good Form. Lieut. Mansfield and Martie Flynn Lose Many Admirers Ry Poor Display In Training Gallops. ♦ LEXINGTON, Ky.. April 13.— The Everglade Stables Dodgson, J. N. Camdens Hiram and Col. R. L. Bakers Col. Bob retained their lofty places among the Kentucky Derby candidates in this mornings training here, which found them showing their best form. While the mentioned trio were seen in gallops of one mile each. C. W. Moores Lieut. Mansfield and Martie Flynn exhibited work somewhat infeiior to what they had done previously and while one off-color trial is hardly sufficient to condemn a horse, both three-year-olds lost admirers as a result of their trials. Both Moore racers were called on for their utmost, -with Lieutenant Mansfield galloping the mile in 1 :44% driving, and Martie Flynn, under like riding, required 1:16V5 to negotiate the same distance. In previous works both horses have been timed faster for the same distance, and while it was evident that Martie Flynn was in a rank mood, stable attaches were unable to account for the disappointing manner in which they ran. Lieutenant Mansfield began with good speed and. after running the first quarter in :23% and completed a half mile in :48%. he was timed in 1 :15*h for three-quarters, then began tiring and the apparent difficulty with which he ran the last quarter caused a number of horsemen to stamp him as a sprinter. In ali of his previous gallops Martie Flynn was accompanied by a stable companion and the fact that he was sent to the track alone this morning no doubt had something to do with his failure to run to expectations. He was hard ridden after going a half mile in :32%. the quarter in :25%, but refused to respond and was caught in 1 :1S*3 for three-quarters and 1 :32 for seven-eighths. In his previous mile workout Martie Flynn galloped the distance a second faster than he did this morning and a number of horsemen believe that subsequent training will prove that he must be accompanied by a companion to make him extend himself. Dodgson was given a useful mile gallop in 1 :46 by owner-trainer John S. Ward. The son of Dodge ran well throughout and Ward had just cause for the satisfaction he expressed after the colt returned to the stable. The one mile gallop of Col. Bob was one of the most impressive of the local spring training season. He was well in hand over the entire distance of the track in 1 :43%. He ran the first quaiter in :25%, three-eighths in :37%, half mile in :50%. five-eighths in 1 :03V5, three-quarters in 1 :16% and seven-eighths in 1 :29fe.
