o. r. . . . . j OMAHA STARTS TODAY IN QUEENS PLATE AT KEMPTON - ..4 Special Cablegram. NEWMARKET, England, May 29. Omaha, the American challenger for English cup honors, which was the champion among the three-year-olds in his native land last year with victories in such important events as the Kentucky Derby, Freakness, Belmont Stakes and Arlington Classic, will be sent under silks again tomorrow at Kempton Park. He will carry the silks of his owner-breeder, William Woodward, in the two mile Queens Plate, final race of the day. He will meet twenty-four rivals, including Lord Derbys Bobsleigh, one of the early choices for the Derby last year but which was taken ill shortly before the race. Omaha was eligible to start yesterday in the Coronation Gold Cup at Epsom Downs but he sidestepped that event to await tomorrows greater distance race.
