Repetoire Quartered at Pimlico BALTIMORE, Pimlico, Md., May 7.— Mrs. Nora A. Mikells Repetoire, winner of four consecutive stakes prior to meeting .defeat in Saturdays Kentucky Derby, arrived here by plane Sunday night and was bedded down in local quarters. Trainer Alfred Jensen, in discussing the Derby effort turned in by his charge, stated that the Happy Argo colt performed his best, but evidently does not relish the mile and a quarter distance. Jensen was pleased with the manner in which Pete McLean handled the colt and stated that he could offer no excuse for the defeat of Repetoire. He does, however, feel that the track was a bit to hard, which may, or may not, have effected his charge. Whether or not Repetoire will be a starter in the Preakness on Saturday, May 19, has not been definitely decided. The mile and three -sixteenths distance will definitely be more to his liking, but he may be reserved with the Withers Mile in view.
