Calumet Farm Horses Favored In Derby
v.t 1
DERBY FAVORITES Jacklyn Love, pretty 21-year-old
Kentucky Derby Festival Queen, and General Duke look
each other over the Churchill Downs Race Track, Louis
ville, Ky. General Duke is favored to win the 1957 Rvu
for the Roses.
. Louisville, Ky. U.PJ Gen.
Duke and Iron Liege, Calumet
Farm's powerful pair favored to
win the 3125,000 added Ken
tucky Derby Saturday, warmed
up for America's top racing clas
sic today in the 20th running of
the $15,000 added Derby Trial.
Only four other three-year-olds,
all expected to start in the
83rd renewal of the Kentucky
Derby, opposed Gen. Duke and
Iron Liege in the mile race.
Calumet Farm's hopefuls for
a fifth victory in the Rose Run
were prohibitive favorites at 2-5
to turn back Clifford Lussky's
Federal Hill, Mrs. Ada L. Rice's
entry of Indian Creek and Man
Up Stairs, and William S. Mil
ler's Better Bee.
Normally the trial is consider
ed an "elimination race" with
owners and trainers hoping for
a last-minute flash of Kentucky
Derby class to warrant starting
their young horses in the "big
one" now only five days away.
But this year it would take an
extremely poor showing to elimi
nate any of the Derby Trial
starters from the Kentucky
Derby rather than for an ex
tremely good race to get them
into it.
The same jockeys who will
ride the horses in the Kentucky
Derby rode in the trial, putting
jockey champion Willie Hartack
and Dave Erb on the same team.
Hartack rode Gen. Duke while
Erb handled Iron Liege.
Faster Racing Foreseen
This Year at Valley View
Faster racing is foreseen dur
ing the 1957 season on the Val
ley View track near Ashland.
The track will be the scene of
weekly Rogue Valley Racing as
sociation hardtop auto programs
again this year. First races are
set for May 11.
Manager Phil Bryant has been
working many weeks to get the
running surface in good shape.
The track now looks more like
an oval. Turns have been widen
ed and banked and the back
stretch has been moved out far
ther to eliminate the previous
sharp turns.
Last year the track record was
not broken but there is little
doubt that the present mark will
stand long once time trials open
on May 11.
Many of the hardtoppers have
been working intently to have
heir cars ready for the first Sat
urday night action. Drivers who
would like to try out their hard
tops have been advised that the
track will be available on Sun
day, May 5. Fans who would
like to watch will be welcome.
Among notes of interest is the
purchase by Mike Ober,' of Ober
Logging, of a late model stock
car. It will be entered in West
Coast races with Jack McCoy as
driver. Jack's first scheduled
race of the season was to have
been at Bakersfield, Calif, but
the event was rained out.

Contact Sports

Out of Olympics
New York (U.R) Elimination
from the Olympics of physical
contact sports and sports de
cided entirely by human judg
ment was suggested Monday
night by Dr. William Stevenson,
former Olympic athlete and now
president of Oberlin Ohio Col
lege. ". . . National prejudices and
perhaps even hatreds governed
the conduct of some competitors
and officials at the 1956 games,"
he told the annual dinner of the
Metropolitan Amateur Athletic
Union. "Apparently unsports
manlike occurrences are more
likely in those types of compe
tition where bodily contact is in
volved, or in which the outcome
largely depends upon the indi
vidual judgment of the of
ficials ...
"I would rather see such
sports eliminated if their contin
uance engenders hostilities and
bad feeling which endangers the
whole Olympic program."
