BRADLEY WINS BIG WAGER LEXINGTON, Ky., May 3.— The announcement that Top Flight is definitely out of the Kentucky Derby amounts to a winning decision in favor of E. Ft. Bradley, master of Idle Hour Farm, who last week wagered 0,000 to 0,000, play or pay, that the Whitney filly would not be one-two-three in the event next Saturday. "It would not be fair to tell who lost the wager," said Colonel Bradley this afternoon, but you can say that eight persons offered to accept the bet. However, on account of present conditions, I did not feel that I could make the bet eight times and pay the day after in the event of loss, so I took it only once." ■
