; WHISK ARM MUCH IMPROVED! 0 Nick Cullop, With 130 Pounds Up, Works Three -Quarters in 1 :13s/5. 0 Barnes Colt Creates Impression He Is Stayer and Excellent Weight Carrier — Summer-1. ike Weather. o LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 2.— Nick Cullop, a colt by Paul Weidel — Sunny Glow, owned and trained by H. Neusteter, supplied the outstanding Derby workout at Churchill Downs this morning. Carrying fully 130 pounds, the big chestnut colt was given his most pretentious gallop of the entire spring season when he was galloped three-quarters. He negotiated the distance in 1:13% and pulled up sound. Jockey Leo Feeney was astride the colt. Beginning at the three-quarters post, Nick Cullop displayed a fine burst of speed and made the work watchers on the back stretch take notice as he sped past them, running the first quarter in the extremely fast time of :22%, and the half mile in :47. Feeney then took a good hold of him and the colt, lengthening his stride, finished the three-quarters in 1 :13%. He pulled up in good condition and without displaying any signs of distress. The colt was equipped with blinkers and seemed to be benefited by them. Summer-like weather was the order of the morning and the track was in good condition. Whiskarm, from the stable of George V. Barnes, was the only other Derby aspirant to be given a hard workout during the morning. The son of Whiskaway and Army Maid, wth jockey Joe Kederis up, made a fine impression when he worked a mile in 1 :43% and pulled up sound. The colt began from the barrier in the mile chute and performed his task quite handily, with Kederis having hold of him all the way. The watches caught the colt at the quarter in :24%, half in :49% and three-quarters in 1 :16. After finishing the mile he was galloped out an extra eighth, making the full mile and one-eighth in 1 :57%. It was apparent to those who watched Mr. Barnes colt coming down the stretch that he has developed considerably over his form of last year and may not be far behind the first rate three-year-olds this year. He also seems to possess the much desired quality of a stayer and, being a sturdy, well-built horse, should be able to carry stake weights. The other Derby eligibles were not called upon for anything more exacting than easy gallops. Keith went out with Rhinock and, keeping pace with his more noted stable mate, ran a half mile in :50. Longridge and Bar None were given a preliminary gallop of three-eighths for a pretentious trial Thursday. They ran the distance closely lapped in :39"i.
