Dan E. Stewart Charges Doing Well in Kentucky Leading Trainer at Keeneland Seems Destined for Big Year LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 5.— Dan E. Stewart, trainer of the horses who race under the colors of Joseph E. Widener and Mrs. P. A. B. Widener, seems destined for a big year. He was the leading trainer during the Keeneland season, and the horses in his care already have won four races ati Churchill Downs, in addition to placing in j several others. One of the brightest prospects in the ■table is the two-year-old filly Fair Weath- i er, who a few days ago ran four and one- ] half furlongs within a fifth of a second of | the track record to score a one-sided vie- I tory. Breezing along seven lengths in ad- j vance of her nearest rival, Fair Weather covered the distance in :52%, a figure she , easily could have improved upon under a ! little pressure. Other members of the stable who already have earned brackets at Churchill Downs are Carbonate, another two-year-old who won his first race, the three-year-old Lord I Matout and the four-year-old Martian. Moscow II., a five-year-old in the stable, j finished third to Royal Crusader and Aon-barr in the Churchill Downs Handicap last week to give further evidence of the usefulness of the stable Stewart is training. Stewart has fifteen horses at Churchill Downs, the others being Raphael II., Tribal I Ruler, Crosstide and the two-year-olds Blois, Philadelphia, Accord, Yellow Poppy, Smalt, Generosity and Ballet Slipper. On the farm, Stewart has seven other horses from whom he may select several i for racing later. Those of racing age at Elmendorff are Gothic, Short Shift, Ran- I dom Breeze, Bevie, Glanceabout and Nip- , sickle. The latter was believed to be a splendid racing prospect, but he has a hoof | ailment that makes his future usefulness doubtful.
