KENTUCKY RACE !
GIVES WINNER
LARGE AMOUNT
Sixty-four Thousand Dollars
Will Go to Some Horse
in Race Saturday.
DOUISVIDLE, May 14.—(By the
Associated Press.)—The 49th renew
al of the Kentucky Derby already has
set several new records, although
America's greatest race is still less
than a week away. The nominees,
numbering 145. far exceed all pre
vious totals, the nearest approach
being the 109 mark of 1920. With a I
possible 21 starters, the race will be i
worth $64,000 in addition to the win-j
ner's gold plato valued at $7,500.
For the first time in its history
itho Derby will be run on tho second
Saturday of the meet, instead of the
opening day. This change wa3 de
cided on to avoid conflict with the
CPrenikncss, another famous race, at
Pimlico, Maryland.
As for the records which may be
established by tile horses themselves.
Indications are that one of the most
evenly balanced fields in many years
will face tlhe barrier on the afternoon
of May 19.
The possible $64,000 purse this
year is quite a contrast with that of
tho first Derby, in 1875, when Aris-|
tides romped home ahead of the
field to win $2,850.
'Seating arrangements have boon
made to take care cf 30,000 persons.
