1 CHURCHILL DOWNS NOTES I $ ■ — $ Jockey Euginio Rodriguez, Cuban reins-man, departs Saturday for Detroit where he will be attached to the Glad Acres Farm stable. Howard Hoffman, trainer of the Woodvale Stable, is confined to his home here with a stomach ailment and may have to submit to an operation, it was learned today. In his absence, Johnny Daniels is looking after the fifteen horses quartered at Douglas Park. The six horses that Maderis Dupuy has here will be sent to Detroit on Monday and the clever apprentice rider, Hayden Dupuy, will accompany the stable to the Motor City. The leg filling that developed following De-termineds winning effort here early in the meeting, has receded and trainer Leo Jones expects to have the sprinter ready to resume racing before the close of the Churchill Downs meeting. Starter William Hamiltons schooling list is the smallest it has been in some time. It includes Verakee, Quick Quick, Shipmadilly, Gen. Greenock, War Chaff and Fair and Fast. The horses that E. Babcock, Jr., is training for G. C. Scott and those under the supervision of B. C. Carpenter, are to get away the middle of next week for North Randall, where they will be campaigned throughout the thirty-three day meeting. The combination of Cohort and Michigan Girl has produced so many winners, three of which are now racing in the silks of Joe W. Brown, that the mating has been repeated. The combination is represented now by Jewell Dorsett, T. M. Dorsett and Ned Dorsett, the latter a two-year-old which has not made his debut, and a yearling filly at Jack Howards Rookwood farm in Lexington. Tom Carr Piatt, president of the Thoroughbred Club of America, and Mrs. Piatt arrived from Lexington and will remain over for the sixty-fifth running of the Kentucky Oaks.
