Twelve of the thirty-two nominated for the Arkansas Derby appeared in the overnight entries. Bob McGar-vey decided against sending Mountain Ridge to tjie post because he did not work satisfactorily and he will pin his hopes on Tiger and Farrell, which will rule favorite in the betting. Gov. Chandler, winner of two races here and Don Moss will share the betting favoritism with the entry from the Milky Way Farm. Don. Moss was beaten a narrow margin last out, and has shown an inclination to run a route. WELL WORTH WINNING. The third running of the Arkansas Derby will be the richest in the history of the stake for the winner. With twelve starters the winner will get ,110 net. Several of the candidates for the Derby were on the track today and Tiger, chief dependancy of the Milky Way Farm, was sent over five furlongs in 1:00 to take the measure of Farrell, a maiden which ran the same distance in 1:01. Gov. Chandler showed fitness in a light breeze this morning, going a half in :51. Charley Swain was astride the chestnut gelding and he could have ran much faster had the boy elected to let him run. Among the other scheduled starters in the Arkansas Derby, Dolly Val was sent three-eighths of a mile in :38, Sortie Star a half in :48, Elooto and Unselfish, which make up the Blue Ridge Farm entry, were in company for a half mile work in :51. Allanwood worked a half in :50.

In addition to the Derby, he has scheduled two handicaps, one over a distance of the Oak-lawn Course and the other at a mile and a sixteenth, bringing together the best sprinters and routers in this section. The Derby will attract most attention and offers the most representative field that has went post-ward since the inauguration of the event. Tiger, a strong contender for the Kentucky Derby, will very probably rule the favorite because of his recent good workout, while Gov. Chandler, which won two races over a distance, will loom as a close second choice. Don Moss, beaten a narrow margin last out, is the "dark" horse in the Derby. Invaders from New Orleans include Allan-wood, Dolly Val and Feng. All are regarded as outsiders in the betting and as having little chance to annex the ,000 added fixture, which will serve as the major event of the thirty-day race meeting under the auspices of the Oaklawn Jockey Club.
