Crew Colors in Main Event at River Downs Course Continued from Page One Crew and trained by Milton Rinke, will run as an entry and appear to hold a powerful hand in the Cincinnati Post. This pair has been prepped for tomorrows affray and should be hard to overcome. Pappy, a three-year-old gelding who performs under the banner of Roy Price, should go well and may give his opponents a run for their money. He chalked up one win at the current meeting and is reported to be at peak form. She-Blu, a three-yeai old miss who was victorious here several days ago, merits consideration and could upset should she display some of the zest that she showed in her last outing. Arrayed against the aforementioned quartet are Miss Judy Langs I Insist Hamon and Christmans Victory Dream, Frank Leevers Willa Basket, H. C. Dod- sons Harlyn Miss, Char-Mar Farms Step-pin Night and .Nordic Lad who was nominated for the Kentucky Handicap which was decided here last Saturday but declined the issue. The Cincinnati Purse also drew 10 entrants including Fervently, Eyesome, Sedulous, Blazing, A Plus, Jakes Julep, Diablo, Blue Brand, Bernrough and Old Milton. A Plus, who ran a corking second in his last encounter, will have his share of supporters in the wagering while Fervently will also be well backed. The latter closed like a house afire in his last and as this was this speedsters first time out here he may have needed that race as a. tightener.
