1 Kentucky Derbys of Past-Charts and Future Books 1936 V i Do you remember the fateful Derby of 1936? -How the heavily-backed Brevity, future book choice and favorite on the day of the race, was almost knocked to his knees right at the start? How he gamely overcame that mishap to be beaten only by a head, the long shot Bold Venture carrying off the honors from a great field, including the unlucky Granville, which lost his rider shortly after the start? Granville later went on to win the three-year-old championship in addition to being the leading money winner and best horse of the year. The chart of that sixty-second running of the Kentucky Derby is replete with historical significance and is here reproduced: SIXTH RACE 1 1-4 MILES Out of Chute.

BOLD VENTURE, in close quarters immediately after the start, began to improve his position fast on the outside after about three-eighths, took an easy lead approaching the final half mile and, holding on with fine courage under strong handling, withstood BREVITYS bid. The latter, probably best and knocked to his knees within a few strides after the start, had to race wide thereafter, improved his position gradually and, closing resolutely, was wearing down BOLD VENTURE. INDIAN BROOM, badly blocked in "the first quarter, raced to a contending position quickly when, clear, made a bid entering the stretch and weakened in the last three-sixteenths. COLDSTREAM lost ground while showing speed and failed to keep up. BIEN JOLI was jostled about on the far turn and did not threaten thereafter. HOLL IMAGE began slowly. HE DID had speed for a mile. TEUFEL showed nothing. GOLD SEEKER was outrun. MERRY PETE was bumped when swerving soon after the start. THE FIGHTER began well, but failed to stay after about three-quarters. GRAND SLAM crossed to the inside approaching the first turn and showed speed for about five-eighths. GRANVILLE unseated his "rider when in close quarters shortly after the start.
