Brett, two juveniles in the Maxwell Howard stable, are making steady progress in their training and it is quite probable they will be seen under colore here. School Books and a juvenile daughter of Flying Heels accompanied Mower and Rye Beach here from Lexington to go into the division of the Millsdale-Pelleteri stable here in charge of Jack Hodgins. The Milky Way Farms Reaping Reward, one of the winter book favorites for the Derby of last spring, in which he finished third, has just started breezing following a long period of inactivity as a result of his going-badly amiss while winning the Latonia Derby last June. The horses of W. C. Reichert, which had been at Hot Springs since about midwinter, arrived here from Oaklawn Park in charge of their owner. The stable includes Sir Midas, Skalkahoe, Miss Pittypat and four others. Willie Garner, veteran reinsman who has been riding in Kentucky almost annually since the start of his career, is slated to do the saddle work for the large stable trained by Kirby Ramsey, local horseman. Mrs. H. J. Thompson, widow of the late E. R. Bradley trainer, and her daughter, were slightly injured and badly shaken up in an automobile accident en route here from Indianapolis. After remaining here a day Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Goose drove them to Lexington, the Thompson car having been badly damaged in the accident. Besides his own horses, William D. Covington is training four for Mis. G. B. Cox of Cincinnati, whose Parkview Stable colors have been prominent in Kentucky for many years. Three of the Parkview horses are home-breds, sired by Rhinock, which campaigned well under the Cincinnati womans silks. The two-year-olds are Rhiney Girl, a filly from Our Carrie; Betabit, a filly from Romeda, and Zipaway, a colt from Chiz. The older horse is the seven-year-old mare, Cac-.us Rose. Barry Bingham, published of the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times, and Mark Eth-ridge, one of the executives of the two papers, were at Churchill Downs Wednesday morning looking over some of the principal Kentucky Derby candidates. They spent some time at the stables of Earl Sande and Robert McGarvey. The five-year-old Prince Fellow and the four-year-olds, Texas Rose and Rhiniz, are owned by Covington. These three also are the produce of horses owned by Mrs. Cox, who also bred Cactus Rose. Curiously, four horses in the Covington string are sons and daughters of the mare, Our Carrie, for besides Rhiney Girl she is the dam of Cactus Rose, Prince Fellow and Texas Rose. Milton Reiser, local horseman, will start the season here with six horses, four belonging to L. C. Ewald, local business man, while the two others are the property of Mrs. Reiser. Ewalds thoroughbreds are Miss Shirley C, a two-year-old; Miss Guinea, Cacarina and Arianna. The veteran Chalk Eye and the juvenile, Ideal Fungi, will race under the Reiser colors.
