KEENELANDS SATURDAY CARD Two Allowance Races Feature Half-Holidays Sport Test for Filly Derby Eligible. LEXINGTON, Ky., April 15 Two allowance races, both of which are for three-year-olds, feature the first Saturdays program at Keeneland Park tomorrow. The Winona Purse and fifth race, attracted six three-year-old fillies and it will mark the seasons debut of Mrs. F. J. Navins Last Message, one of three fillies eligible for the sixty-fourth Kentucky Derby. She will be opposed j by Heritage, Miss Mars, Kitty Baker, Cross i Keys and Dixieland. In the Old Kenny Purse, the seventh event, and also at six furlongs, James C. Stones Stands Alone, another Derby eligible, will match strides with five others. Drift Along, Sally Shall, Sickle T Tilly Kate, and High One complete the field. One of the six other races is at one mile and one-sixteenth and excepting the Brook-dale Purse for maiden two-year-olds and over the Headley course, the others will be der cided over the six furlongs distance. Last Message is the longest priced winner in Keeneland history and when she achieved, that honor she defeated Co-Sport and other topnotchers here last fall. Several tempting offers have been made James C. Stone for Stands Alone, but the Louisville sportsman prefers to have the son of Blondin carry his colors in the Derby.
