Added Prize AURORA 111 May 18 As time draws near for the running of the 10000 Illinois Derby which will have its renewal next Wednesday extensive preparations are un ¬ der way at Exposition Park to handle the vast throng which is expected to be on hand to witness the big race and no item which will add to the comfort of the patrons is being overlooked General manager Robert S Eddy is supervising the work personally directing the large force in every move Joseph Cattarinich principal director is an ¬ other of the officials that is exerting every effort to make the race a success and the day a gala one oneWhile While many other track owners deemed it wise to reduce the purses for their stakes Cattarinich and his associates saw fit to in ¬ crease the added money for the Illinois Derby to 10000 which doubled its value This may seem insignificant but no such offerings have ever been tendered to the horsemen at the Fox Valley course even in the boom days and in increasing the stake as the Aurora management has done the stake takes rank among the most valuable offerings of the year for performers of the threeyearold division Only ten races for horses of that age netted the winner more than 10000 in 1933 not one of the twenty stakes decided for the threeyearolds reached its peak last season and a depreci ¬ ation of 319105 was noted from previous purse offerings while the outstanding three yearold prize had 50000 attached attachedA A much stronger field than in the first running is certain for the Illinois Derby this year and among those that will vie for hon ¬ ors are the outstanding threeyearolds in the stables of Illinois owners which will be augmented by the great number of invaders from Kentucky New York and other states With the campaign for the threeyearold championship well under way there should be no excuse for any of the starters being unable to put forth their best effort on ac ¬ count of lack of fitness which is an assur ¬ ance that the winner will have strong con ¬ tention before closing the engagement engagementThe The sensational work of William Sachsen Continued on twentyninth page ILLINOIS DERBY OUTLOOK OUTLOOKContinued Continued from first
