NINE WOMEN OWNERS ENTER
COLTS IN KENTUCKY DERBY
The derby of Kentucky has been won only three times by women
owners, but the entry list each year includes a sizeable number of
feminine-owned colts, all hoping to emulate the victory of Heigh
Count (finishing above) and his owner, Mrs. John Hertz (below).
LOUISVILLE, May 16.—The la;.
sex rarely gels a break in me Ken
tucky derby. Women owners have
known success on other tracks;
women trainers have brought great
colts along; slim fillies have gone
on to mighty conquests—but not
at Churchill Downs.
Only three women owners ever
have had their entries paraded be
fore the clamoring thousands; never
a woman trainer has seen her hopes
fulfilled. And only one filly came
down the stretch victorious. The
derby is a man's race for colts.
But the ladies never give up.
This year the fair sex has flung
down the gage of battle again. Nine
feminine owners have eligibles for
the classic and most of these are
expected to go to the post.
These colts and fillies hope to
breeze home with their owners’ i
hopes as Black Gold came home in I
1924 for Mrs. R. M. Hoots, as Reigh !
Count carried Mrs. John Hertz’ I
colors to the fore in 1928 and Mrs.
Laska Darnell had her hopes jus
tified in 1904 with Elwood.
But there are no fillies listed
which horsemen appear willing to
hack to repeat the great race run
by Regret in 1915 when the daugh
ter of famous of Broomstick romp
ed home from 16 starters.
Chicatie, owned by Mrs. Graham
Fair Vanderbilt, tops the list of
women-owned eligibles in the minds
of those who sit on rails and make
prognostications. This bay son of
Chicle had little chance to show
his stuff as a two year old, but has
looked well this year.
Mrs. L. G. Kaufmu..’s Twink is;
well liked. He is an imported colt
of good racing blood and showed (
his heels to a noteworthy list in his
first year of racing.
Mrs. Margaret Marshall, racing:
the Rody Marshall stables, likes her
Stylish Mack and so do the stable- j
men who have brought around this i
son of Hildur.
Mrs. Ambrose Clark has Aquas-j
tella, a bay filly, on the list of el- ;
igibles, but the derby being a tre- j
mendous grind for a filly, the
daughter of Cudgel-Waterblossom,
is expected to be reserved for later
filly stakes.
Lee Cooper, big son of Wrack, is
Dwned by Mrs. E. Denemark and at
Louisville, where he trained, the
;olt has a wealth of friends. He j

Get a Sample of “Perfection” Plaster
Wallboard and Make These Tests
Ask for a sample and examine it—break it,
try to burn it. Soak it in water and then test
it again after it has dried. You will find
that it will not expand, shrink, warp or even
weaken. Plasterboard can be tested for Bond
in no other way except by breaking the sample.
You will find that “Perfection” will defy every
one of these tests and fully meet
every demand for permanent
construction.

Pheboney, owned by Mrs. James
R. Brown, has been given a good
deal of attention by the bookies,
his odds coming down like the au
tumn leaves. He will leave the
post not far behind the favorites in
! the matter of public support.
Chip, chestnut gelding entered by
'Mrs. E. L. Swlkard, is an unknown
quantity but has his backers.
I Mrs. A. C. Van Winkle is run

and Mrs. A. Vaughan has Charles

MEN ARE PRETTIER
SAYS BAYLOR MAN
WACO, Tex., May 16.—
Man's pulchritude is greater
than woman’s is the belief of
Morley Jennings, athletic di
rector of Baylor university.
He hesitates to call men
beautiful, but rather says
they are more clean-cut and
graceful than women.
“Grace belongs to the col
lege athlete because in every
action he shows co-ordina
tion that is not found among
his co-ed friends,” he says.
He gains it by exercising
more and living naturally.”
