, , MANY LEXINGTON WORKOUTS 1 • Dodgson, Col. Bob and Hiram ] Continue to Show Good Form. Lieut. Mansfield and Maftie Flynn Lose 31 any Admirers By Poor Display in Training Gallops. ♦ LEXINGTON, Ivy.. 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. Mans- • field and Martie Flynn exhibited work some- I what infeiior to what they had done pre- I viously and while one off-color trial is hardly sufficient to condemn a horse, both three-year-olds lost admirers as a result of I their trials. Both Moore racers were called on for their utmost, with Lieutenant Mansfield galloping I the mile in 1 :44+fe driving, and Martie Flynn, under like riding, required 1:16V5 to nego- • tiate the same distance. In previous works I 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*b for three-quarters, then began tiring and the apparent difficulty with which he ran the last quarter caused a num- ber 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 :18% 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 :0oVs, three-quarters in 1 :16% and seven-eighths in 1:29%. He came out of the Continued on eighth page." MANY LEXINGTON WORKOUTS I Continued from first page.- work like one of quality and his effort, quite deservedly, was regarded as an excellent one by turfmen. Trainer Danny Stewart ordered a one-mile workout for Hiram, and he responded somewhat beyond expectations of his trainer by getting over the route in 1 :41»4. He went along at an even pace throughout and was never out of the steady restraint of his rider. While Hiram has yet to prove himself of Derby timber, he is training well and moving up fast with every workout. The impressive-ness of his work soon may be on a par with that of the more prominent Derby hopefuls. Other Derby eligibles figured in less ambitious . training over the fast track, and Oaks i candidates in goodly numbers furthered their preparation for the coming meeting in a fashion strongly indicative of the possibility that the three-year-old fillies of this year may not be so inferior to other years after all." Mr. Camdens Carin, although ridden out, exhibited ability in negotiating a mile in l 1 :43%. and the Hieatt Brothers Marhi had I no trouble going seven-eighths in 1 :30%. Mrs. J. H. Byrds Runaway Princess was i timed in 1 :45 for one mile, which she did ! handily and. going equally as easily, J. H. Manheimers Aleader completed the same i distance in 1 :44. The latter ran with Pride, i a stable mate. Howard Otts Man o War filly, War Feathers, displayed a fine turn of speed in i running a half mile in :18%, easily. She j was pulled up after five-eighths in 1:02%. The track was crowded with horses i throughout the morning and training activity stretched well into the afternoon, which brought rehearsals for a number of two-year-olds. ■ The latter also were numerous at the barrier for schooling. Hugh Gilmore. who is in charge of the schooling, announced that 232 youngsters have been at the barrier this spring. He I i ! i i i j i ■ I estimated that number is about half of the juveniles here, a number of horsemen prefer- ing to school just racing their charges, Jockey W. Anderson has given first call on his services to R. C. Frakes and second to J. M. Goode. Jockey Byron Ray has joined the stable of Col. R. L. Baker, William Shelley, racing secretary of the Kentucky Racing Assocition, is expected here from his home at Louisville on Monday. The entire stable of J. E. Widener, requir-i ing three cars, will entrain tomorrow for Belmont Park in charge of Peter Coyne. J. C. Furst, who has two horses in the stable of Jim Hukill here, was a visitor thts morning. He will proceed to Louisville, where Alex Menger has two other racers In training for the Cincinnatlan.
