MARKS COLTS IN LIMELIGHT Maudlin and Morsel Display Most Speed at Louisville. Work One Mile In 1:50 Over Fast Track liidwill Horses to Race at Lexington. LOUISVILLE. Ky., April 1. Maudlin, the Derby candidate of Leo J. Marks, trained by Mose Lowensteiri, was given the most ambitious workout of the morning at Churchill Downs. The colt was paced by Morsel, another of his own age, and the pair worked a mile in 1:50. J. Flanagan was astride Maudlin and Clay Butler had the leg up on Morsel. The pair began at the three-quarters post and had a stiff wind behind them going down the back stretch, but it blew into their faces through the stretch run on the front side. They were caught in the fractional time of :26, :52, 1 :20 for the first three-quarters. The track was fast but deep in dust, clouds of the fine sand whirling about with such velocity as to at times obscure horse and rider from the view of the trainer. Maudlin shows steady improvement in his work and may prove a formidable opponent for the crack Derby horses on the day of the big race. Roll Em Down was given a nice workout, going alone for a mile in 1 :56. Trainer Everman sent him along for the first three-quarters, his exercise boy easing him up to the seven-eighths in 1 :31, after negotiating the first three-quarters in :13, :26, :3y, :52. 1:06, 1:20.
