Grandtrap, also owned by the Lexington couple has been named for the race, but it is believed he will be scratched in order to participate in the Oldham County Hounds Timber race, an event more suited to his capabilities. He will be ridden by Charles "Chick" Jelke, young Chicagoan who skillfully rode Grandtrap to victory in the Iroquois Me- morial at Nashville recently. j Austin Brown has named his good jumper Foxy Poise and the Michigan owner will ride his own entry.
