i TRAINERS OF DERBY ENTRIES! I » LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 5.— Confidence s generally was expressed by the trainers of Kentucky Derby candidates when asked for * their opinions at Churchill Downs today. . They are as follows: James Fitzsimmons, Johnstown— Hes one i of the fastest horses Ive ever had the pleasure - of training and I also believe he is one ! of the best. We are in the same position as ; a year ago when Fighting Fox disappointed, but I believe Johnstown is a much better * horse. J. B. Theall, T. M. Dorsett— My colt L showed me in his workout Thursday that he ; is better than at any time this year. I [ know he likes the track but whether hes good enough to win remains to be seen. Louis Schaefer, Challedon— We are all 1 right, so far, so good, and we are not worried. - Challedon will be hard to beat. Matt Brady, El Chico— I feel that El Chico is going to run his race. Whether he can, I [ cannot say. A. C. Dettwiler, Xalapa Clown— You know as much about the colt as I do. Perhaps 3 were not doing the right thing by running 1 him but hes a nice horse and may be heard from. Earl Sande, Heather Broom— My horse is s good. The question is— is he good enough? B. A. Jones, Technician — I think he wiil 1 run a good race. I have no reason to expect t him to do otherwise and hope he will improve - off his last effort. Roy Waldron, On Location — All we can i do is hope. My colt is fit enough. J. J. Flanigan, Viscounty — He is a difficult t colt to ride, but with Bierman up he must be e considered to have a chance.
