Kentucky Derbys of Past-Charts and Future Books 1935 I i .k The 1935 running of the Kentucky Derby was marked by the unusual occurence of a filly going to the post the favorite. That distinction fell to the brilliant Nellie Flag, which was expected to be the first of her sex to duplicate Regrets feat of winning the Blue Ribband of the turf. However she failed her many admirers, finishing fourth to Omaha, Roman Soldier and Whiskolo. In the future books wagering, Chance Sun was the favorite, but was an absentee on Derby Day. Both Omaha and Roman Soldier were well backed in the books, likewise on Derby Day. Omaha, the winner, proved to be one of the outstanding horses in this country and made a great record in England after being sent abroad. Though eighteen started in the 1935 Derby, hot an entry was included, though nine made up the "field." The chart of the race will make interesting reading, and is here presented: SIXTH RACE 1 1-4 MILES Out of Chute.

Fitzsimmons: bred by Belair Stud. WENT TO POST 5:13. AT POST 2 minutes. Start good and slow. Won easily; second and third driving. OMAHA, much the best but lucky to escape interference in the early crowding, was taken to the outside after the first quarter, raced to the lead graduallyafter reaching the half-mile post and, upon taking command, held sway easily thereafter, winning with something left. ROMAN SOLDIER also enjoyed room in" the early stages, worked his way to the. outside after reaching the back stretch, responded well when called upon and stood, severe pressure gamely in the final quarter, but could not menace the winner. WHISKOLO raced to a contending position with a rush, lost ground on the far turn and tired in the last three-sixteenths, but held the others safe. NELLIE FLAG suffered sharp interference from PLAT EYE soon after the start, was again impeded on the first turn, lacked room throughout the back stretch run and could not improve her position when clear in the last five-sixteenths. BLACKBIRDER came from far back and finished boldly. PSYCHIC BID raced well. MORPLUCK also showed good form. PLAT EYE caused much interference soon after the start, had speed, but quit badly after a mile. McCARTHY made up ground. COMMONWEALTH was never prominent, failing to respond to pressure. TODAY was in close quarters on the back stretch, but failed to respond when clear and tired in the stretch. BOXTHORN quit badly. ST. BERNARD was cut off after reaching the back stretch.
