I LOUISVILLE TURF NOTES I $ : John Daniels, former jockey and who in recent years trained for Charles Bacharach, H. P. Headley and other patrons, has retired from the turf and will enter the restaurant business in this city. Cherry Cross, a three-year-old filly owned by J. H. Ingram, and Miss Vince, a filly of the same age, and two two-year-olds, the property of D. B. Midkiff, comprise the string Harry Saladin is whipping into condition for the coming season. They are at Churchill Downs. Having turned out Wise Ways and two others, Bert S. Michell, veteran trainer who developed Reigh Count and other stars, has eleven here for racing under the colors of L. E. Komorous of Chicago. They are: Pot au Brooms, Albert D., Broad Meadows, Tra-hison, Merry Go Round, Mabel Krasa, Switch, and the two-year-olds, Black Highbrow, Frank Smith, Joseph D. and Harry Richman. " George Sells of Chicago, brother of "Hosey" Sells, is visiting the latter for a few days. Sells stopped off en route to Lexington, where he will inspect the harness horses he has at that point.- It is not improbable that Charles Kurt-singer, who left Wednesday with the Mason and Hanger stable for Havre de Grace, will return here to ride Jouett Shouses Weston in the Kentucky Derby. Kurtsinger, a local youth, scored his first and only Kentucky Derby win astride Mrs. Payne Whitneys Twenty Grand in 1931. Information from a reliable source is that Mrs. R. B. Fairbanks paid 5,000 for Blue.-beard and that she will tender William R. Coe another check for 0,000 if the son of Blue Larkspur is first to reach the finish in the Kentucky Derby. Col. M. J. Winn, who has been at French Lick Springs since Wednesday, returns here Monday to remain until after the close of the Churchill Downs spring meeting. C. Bruce Head accompanied him to the Indiana resort. Arriving Thursday from Chicago, J. Grossman lost no time making an inspection of Nell Barton and Xerseise, which he shipped to Douglas Park from Hot Springs several weeks ago. He is in the market for two or three of the better-class platers. Four of the five two-year-olds among the eight horses Corliss Ormsby brought here for the late A. B. Gallaher are fillies. Two from the mare Spongee and Catherine C. were sired by Cherokee, which stands at the Gallaher farm; another by Galatian is from Sweet Lady, and the other is by Epinard Glyn. The lone male is a gelding by Cherokee Lady Sportsman. The older horses are Back Log, Pancoast and Chief Cherokee. Ernie White, assistant director of the mutuels at Churchill Downs," is up and about following a months illness. He was stricken soon after leaving Santa Anita for his home here. Along with the Derby nominee Bobbys Son, W. G. Sparks had Crude, Sun Boy, Donnahona, Oh Dave, Billy Jones, Lady Genie, Lady Kiev, Army Sergeant and four juveniles in the string he transferred here from Lexington Wednesday.
