MRS. PAYNE WHITNEY HAS NO C0L0RBEARER THIS YEAR LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 5.— Although she will not be represented this year, Mrs. Payne Whitney, the gracious first lady of racing, has not despaired of providing another winner of the Kentucky Derby, which she captured in 1931 with her home-bred Twenty Grand, a strapping son of St. Germans and Bonus, whose mark of 2:01% for the Derby mile and a quarter still stands as a Churchill Downs record and one of the fastest performances over that route in the history of racing. Her Greentree Stable made no less than five nominations for this years renewal and, while none of them were deemed up to Derby requirements, a future renewal may see Greentree represented by another Twenty Grand.
