Here and There on the Turf Detroit Will Have Great Day Even With Peace Chance Absent Equipoise Gets a Break Goldblatt Is in His Stride Peace Chance does not seem destined to start in the Detroit Derby Saturday which is Detroits loss and Arlington Parks gain because the next important special in which itheBelmont Stakes winner and Cavalcade could be expected to clash is the 35000 added Classic at the Chicago course With Joseph E Widener deciding not to send his good son of Chance Shot out for the 25000 Detroit special the field appears at Caval ¬ cades mercy and likely to give the Brbok meade star trouble only by force of numbers numbersFourteen Fourteen starters are expected in the mile and threesixteenths race and if all accept the issue it will mean Cavalcade has that many more horses to go around or by when he makes his move He had a dozen oppo ¬ nents in the Kentucky Derby but fortu ¬ nately for him some of them including Peace Chance were back of him from the start In the American Derby the son of Lancegaye had to beat eight others and he had to go by ccch of them six at one time io grab the honors So being a colt that jruns from far back Cavalcades danger of being defeated increases with the size of the field fieldSome Some of the candidates for the Detroit Derby have little or no prospect of victory yet their presence in the field might enable a horse like Discovery or Swiftsport or Chic straw or Bien Faitto humble the leading contender for championship honors Never ¬ theless the Brookmeade entry will rule a strong favorite which is most natural as Cavalcade has handled himself in the man ¬ ner of a champion already having beaten most of those expected to oppose him Of those he has not met none has developed in a fashion to give the Cavalcade camp tiny extra uneasiness Even without Peace Chance in the Derby the Detroit management may feel very proud over the prospects for the race Cavalcade will be there yet there are sufficient other good threeyearolds to prevent a walkaway Detroit racing fans have not had the oppor ¬ tunity of seeing such horses in their front yard since 1920 when Man o War and Sir tarton engaged in a teteatete at Kenil worth across the river in Canada With ideal weather the Fair Grounds Saturday should entertain a crowd that will bulge the fences fencesAlfred Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilts Discovery which has been performing the same role With Cavalcade that John P Grier did with Man o War i all set to make another hard try at defeating the Brookmeade star if he suffers no ill effects from his sensational workout at Belmont Park Tuesday when he stepped the mile and a quarter in 203 Hie Detroit Derby will hardly be run in that speed but it must be remembered that the Motor City course is not as fast as Bel monts If Discovery runs back to that trial Cavalcade may find it most difficult to beat him even though the Lancegaye colt has looked the Vanderbilt representative squarely in the eye on four other occasions this season seasonMaking Making the most of their opportunities Lou Smith and his Rockingham Park asso ¬ ciates have doubled the value of the Granite State Handicap to 10000 to attract Equi ¬ poise With the event being offered on June 23 and the distance only a mile and one sixteenthi a route over which Equipoise can canter the Whitney board of strategy can ¬ not afford to overlook this chance if the champion is to reach Sun Beaus world moneywinning mark By going in the Granite State Equipoise will be able to give thousands of New England racing enthu ¬ siasts the opportunity to see him race with ¬ out interfering with his tentative program of appearing in the Stars and Stripes and the Arlington Handicaps Both of these af ¬ fairs also carry 10000 added and if the Whitney ace is lucky enough to capture all three he will be right on top of Sun Beaus total of 376744 Mose Goldblattj prominent Cincinnati horseman doesnt race the outstanding horses he did a few years ago but he con ¬ tinues at his old tricks of having a capable apprentice rider under his wing His latest protege is Dublin Taylor a lad brought out by Dave Hum who has leased the young ¬ ster to Goldblatt Since joining the latter horseman at Latonia Taylor has been riding in great form and only last week piloted eight winners to go into the lead of the jockey race with a total of 109 victories The season isnt half over yet Taylors total is threequarters of the number that won the championship just a few years ago This is another expression of racings expansion
