1 CHURCHILL DOWNS NOTES C. Bruce Head accompanied Col. M. J. Winn on his recent trip to Chicago and return, and was a visitor Thursday morning at Churchill Downs. Head is a steward at the Downs and also a member of the license committee of the state racing commission. He serves on this latter committee with Charles F. Price, presiding steward in charge of racing at Churchill, and Thomas C. Bradley. Head said that the committee may meet some time next week. Neville Dunn, sports editor of the Lexington Herald, has entered the ranks of thoroughbred owners and this year will have a two-year-old to carry his colors. It is a filly by Upset and Scotch Made, named Top Bracket, and Dunn has nominated her for the Bashford Manor Stakes to be run during the Downs meeting. She and another two-year-old owned by W. E. Coover, will be shipped here from Lexington and turned over to Rufus Schilling to train. Schilling already has the two-year-old filly Starry Flag, owned by Coover, which he transported here from Hot Springs. Bill Hamilton, who for years has been doing the starting at Churchill Downs, is here from Hot Springs where during the Oaklawn Park meeting he had a most sue cessful season dispatching the fields. Trainer B. S. Michell arrived here by motor from Florida and immediately took charge of the large string he will train for the stable of Mrs. Emit Denemark, of Chicago. The division of the stable which campaigned in Florida arrived here Wednesday and joined that which was rested during the winter, and the establishment now numbers thirty head. Pending the arrival of Michell, Emil Denemark has been looking after the horses at Churchill Downs. Walter Taylor is taking up four two-year- olds for Mrs. Silas B. Mason and will have them in his charge pending the arrival of his brother, Tommy, head trainer of the Mason racers. Tommy Taylor now is at Arlington Downs with a string of the Mason horses which he will ship here after the running of the Texas Derby, for which He Did, owned by Mrs. Mason, is nominated. He Did also is a Kentucky Derby eligible. W. E. Caskey arrived at Douglas Park with ten horses, five of which are owned by W. R. Coe.
