The headliner lured an overnight field of nine speedy performers and undoubtedly will provide good sport for Churchill Downs patrons. Under, the conditions of the Seven Hearts, William Boganowskis Lynn Ridge, a four-year-old Busyridge-sired gelding, is the high-weight at 122 pounds. Lynn Ridge failed to race to top form in his initial Downs outing, but his morning trials indicate he is coming around steadily and may take some beating. ~ Edward J. Grcsfields Roman Spy, 112, is slated to make his second appearance of the meeting in the Friday feature. Roman Spy, a five-year-old stallion, the get of Roman and the former fine race mare, Mata Hari, worked splendidly for his en- gagement. Others expected to go to the post in the Seven Hearts are M. J. Schmitts Mary H., 117; Mazzaro Stables Johns Hope, 115; Mrs. Henry J. Damms Upstage, 114, and W. J. Sprow Jr.s Pie Bed, 119 pounds. Also Emil Denemark Jr.s Hutcheson, 114; H. H. Prices Brownie Lady, 107; arid Thomas D. Nolans Nother Ghost, 112 pounds. Upstage and Hutcheson have the apprentice allowance.

William McKinley Cook will be in the irons on Mary H., but riders for Lynn Ridge and Johns Hope hadnt been announced late today. Mary H., Roman Spy and Lynn Ridge , started here last week in an overnight sprint. The Schmitt mare ran second to Lord Henry, while Roman Spy lasted to be fourth after making the pace to the stretch. Lynn Ridge, who lacked early foot in the dash, was fifth and may have needed the race. Chief supporting event on the Friday card is the Black Maria Purse at six furlongs for three-year-old fillies. Preen, Faithful Song and Colonels Lady are expected to draw the bulk of support over such rivals as Roman Colors, Lancaster Rose, Lily OMalley, Jo Davis, Brookwood , and Newmarket Maid.
