AUDLEY FARMS DERBY HOPE 1 « Knights Call May Duplicate Gallant Knights Victory. » Jones Three-Year-Old to Be Shipped to Latonia Course Immediately After American Derby. LATONIA, Ky., June 16.— Kay Spence, who directs the western division of Bernard Jones pretentious Audley Farm Stable, will attempt to saddle his second Latonia Derby winner in as many years. Spence, Hodge fame, is sending Knights Call to the Kenton County course immediately after the running of the American Derby at Washington Park. The son of Bright Knight and Florence Nightingale will receive his final preparations for the 5,000 added race, over one mile and one-half on the local track. The Derby, which is the feature for the first day of the thirty-one day meeting beginning Saturday, June 27, was won by Gallant Knight in 1930. Spence also saddled The Clown when Harry Lunsford rode the Audley Farm colt to his triumph over Hopeless, In Memoriam and others in 1923. George White arrived from Churchill Downs with eleven two-year-olds of the Audley Farm Stable, and brought the announcement that Knights Call would be here Monday. He will head the twelve Spence is sending from Washington Park. The others will be left at Chicago for the Windy City campaign, although he expects Spence to send Gallant Knight here for his Independence and Enquirer Handicap engagements. However, if Spence decides to reserve Gallant Knight for the Lincoln Fields Handicap, The Choctaw, which is coming in th© same shipment with Knights Call, will be worthy of shouldering the responsibility of his illustrious stablemate. The winner of is now again in training, and, according to the last running of the Agua Caliente Cup word from Washington Park, will start In the Independence and Enquirer Handicaps, J. J. "Terry" OMalley, chief agent for the stable, was at Churchill Downs to as* sist White in loading the juveniles he brought here. OMalley is expected to spend much time at Latonia as Spence intends staying in Chicago. In addition to Knights Call and The Choctaw, the Chicago shipment will consist of Princess Peggy, Craftsman, Triassic, Deenie, Suniday, Navy Girl, Sans Coin, Veenie Lassie, Prinella and Mary Borah. Mary Borah is a daughter of High Cloud, and the first foal from Princess Doreen, which won two renewals of the Independence Handicap, one of the six stakes to be renewed during the approaching meeting. She is an eligible for the Clipsetta Stakes, and will be assisted by Late Date, which was among the eleven White brought from Churchill Downs. Craftsman is a candidate for the Cincinnati Trophy, and an intended starter. He is a son of Sir Barton — Miss Minerva, which, during her racing career, was a great favorite among the local fans. White, who in the past has devoted his services to the Audley Farm at Berryville, Va., broke the yearlings last year, and is very fond of Mary Borah. He believes her to be a wonderful prospect and thinks she will carry on in the path of her great dam. The juveniles from Louisville were Bali Dress, Miss Hoptown, Late Date, Briada, Fair Lee, Tapanagh, Colonial Beau, Dumes, Frankie, Golden Sandals and Miss Myrtha. The arrival of the Audley Farm horses increased the local colony to near the 300 mark, and those expected to come this week from Lexington and Louisville will swell the total to around 450. Finishing touches, which included the stallation of the enunciators, painting of the club house and stands, have been completed and one of the two barns under construction was roofed today. The other barn is well under way, and the speed which superintendent Nolte has used in the erec-• tion of the structure has met with favorable comment from Maurice Galvin, vice-presi-i dent of the Latonia Jockey Club. He made a complete inspection of the track and was loud in his praise of its condition.
