Colt Gallops One Mile in 1:41%, With Willie tiarnei in saddle — Relg-h Count in I.rtrcise Canter. s ■ t LOUISVILLE. Ky.. May 7.— Misstep, Leo a J. Marks good son of Upset — St. Theresa, b continues to hold a place in the front rank j, of Kentucky Darby hopefuls, when he furthered his preparation for that race with an ° easily done ini!e at Churchill Downs this ii in morning. Under the guidance of jockey Wil- o of lie Garner, who will ride him in the Derby, o Misstep went the distance in 1:41% and was s eased up when he reached the end of a mile e and an eighth in 1 :5G%. He was aceom- f panied in the trial by Mop Up. another eligible in the coveted race, owned by Mr. Marks, f Mop Up failed to keep up with his stable- c mate. He was timed going the mile in 1:41%. ■ a Trainer Mose Lowenstein had prescribed a I mile in "about 1:13,** for Misstep, according g to jockey Garner. The latter said the colt v ran along so easily that "I could have taken him back to a slower pace." Garner ex- v pressed belief that Misstep could have worked f a mile in 1 :"S without being extended to g the limit. 1 The track was in fine condition when the s Marks pair galloped and Lowenstein had them on the track early. [ Late in the morning trainer B. Michell a a brought out Airs. John D. Hertz Reigh Count, the Derby favorite, for a light as- c signment that required him to perform a a quarter of a mile. He went through the stretch under jockey "Chick" Lang in :24Vb t against strong restraint and was caught in :37% at the end of three-eighths, where t Lang had him pulled up. i AMTA PEACODY AVOIJKS OUT. Previous to the training of Reigh Count, i " Michell sent Anita Poabody, another of Mrs. Hertz Derby eligibles. and an Oaks candi- s date, a quarter in :21% handily. c An earlier set from Michells stable in- i eluded Mrs. Hertz Sea Rip and Otto Leh- i manns Reigh Olga, Derby eligibles. Their ] trainer called upon them for slightly more effort than their stablemates and, breaking together from the barrier, they were sent t seven-eighths each. Reigh Olga went in 1 :30 and Sea Rip a second slower, both galloping i in hand. Reigh Olga went-the half mile in 1 :50 and three-quarters in 1 :lt% and Sea Rip 1 was caught in :50M; for a half and 1:16% for i three-quarters. C. E. Durnells Irish Pal negotiated a mile i i in 1 :44%. The son of Prince Pal went the quarter in :2t . half mile in :513.-, and three- I | i quarters in 1 ilSVs. He galloped easily and 1 owner-trainer Darnell expressed satisfaction ] with the woik and the horses present condi- I tion. He remarked that the colt will be t a starter in the Derby. Durnell ordered a fast gallop for the Three i Ds Stables Stamford and Sandrine and they i responded impressively by doing a half mile t together in :4S. Sandrines work was the best of the two. Blackwood and Dowagiac, the Derby eligibles of the Bloomfield Stable of Messrs. F. J. I Navin, W. O. Briggs and C. T. Fisher, all of Detroit, were sent one mile and a half mile respectively. The former ran the distance in :24%, :36%. :50, 1 :03%, 1:18, 1:31% and 1 :44% handily. He bore out when negotiating the stretch turn. Dowagiac accompanied Blackwood from the barrier and was pulled up after a half mile in :50. Jockey Frank Chiavetta had the mount on Blackwood. ADDITIONAL GALLOPS.
