COMING HERE AFTER DERBY LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 14.— Following his Derby engagement, Minotaur, which C. F. Cherry, trainer of the Wild Rose Farm, is handling for John R. Thompson, Jr., of Chicago, will be pointed for the impending running of the American Derby at Washington Park and subsequent racing will witness his participation in the American Classic at Arlington Park. Mr. Thompson, with members of his family and a number of friends, are due from Chicago to witness the performance of Minotaur on Saturday. Charles Graffagnini, New Orleans turfman, who developed the colt and sold him to Mr. Thompson only a short time before he ran second to Dr. Freeland in the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico last Friday, is stopping off en route from Baltimore to St. Louis to view the Derby. I The Graffagnini horses are intended for campaigning at Fairmount Park.
