Churchill Downs' horse-racing classic crosses up even the insiders as
By ROSCOE GOOSE as told to Bill Surface
Roscoe Goose, WrVi lives only a block from Churchill
Downs, site of the Kentucky Derby, is a veteran Thorough-
bred owner, trainer, and former jockey. He has seen the
lost 50 Derbies and knows more about the race's unpre
dictability than anyone he should, because he rode the ' 9
longest long-shot winner in Derby history. ' "
YOU CAN'T
PICK THE
DERBY
WINNER!
One hundred
thousand peo
ple will cram
into the stands at
Churchill Downs in
Louisville next Satur
day and try to pick the win
ner of the 87th Kentucky Der
by probably the biggest v
betting risk in sports.
Why, jockeys and train
ers can't even come close
' to picking a winner!
Eddie Arcaro, winner of more Derbies (five) than any
jockey, has become so confused in recent years that he
didn't even ride In the '60 Derby; Ben and Jimmy Jones,
the famed father-son training team which has won a rec
ord eight Derbies, are so disheartened that they've
scratched their horses just before post time in the last two
Derbies. Jim Fitzsimmons, champion 85-year-old trainer,
insists the Derby is the only race that ever whipped him.
I know exactly how they feel. I was the jockey on Ed
Crump in the 1915 Derby, and my horse looked so good
they had the victory party set up beforehand so as not to
waste any time. I came in 10th. Two years later, I was on
Green Jones, which figured to give the favorite a battle.
I had to battle to keep from running last, and finished be
hind 11 horses.
The only time I thought I actually might run last or
pretty close to it was in 1913. I was just a kid jockey
wanting to ride in the Derby to show off in front of my
friends. I was under contract to Tom Hayes, and I nagged
him for three months to ride in the Derby.
Finally, Mr. Hayes decided to start a big raw-boned colt
named Donerail just to get me off his back. I was so ex- -cited
I had my red and green silks on five hours before
the race. We walked the 214 miles from our barn, to
Churchill Downs, and right before we reached the track
I asked Mr. Hayes if I could borrow money to bet.
"Money!" he shouted. "Look, I'm not putting down a
cent. You go for corn bread in this race." What he meant
was try for third or fourth money. It sounded reasonable.
Donerail hadn't beaten many horses. v
People lined up to bet on Ten Point, a New York colt, -with
odds of $1.20 to 1. Donerail, my horse, was an out
landish $91.45 to 1. After the race began, Donerail's odds
should have been $291.45 to 1. We nearly crashed into the
rail and eliminated ourselves.
I was running along in sixth place while the favorite was
in front and apparently headed for victory. After we
rounded the final turn where jockeys cuss and scream at
each other I decided to whack my horse a little.
But I didn't have to. Donerail started passing horses like
he never had before (or did after), and we were gaining
so much ground I thought I was on the wrong horse. The
jockeys had worn out Ten Point and other favorites with -their
fancy maneuvering and strategy. My horse wasn't

Jockey Roscoe Goose on Donerail (9) figured he'd have
supposed to go anywhere, so he was the freshest horse in
the race. '
We won by a half-length, setting a Derby record of 2: 05
for one-and-a-quarter miles. People gasped as they looked
at the biggest payoff in Derby history $184.90 for $2.
The owner and I didn't have a nickel on Donerail. I did
earn the jockey's 10 percent share of the $5,475 purse, but
I had been so positive Donerail didn't have a chance that
I had proposed that the winning jockey donate all his win
nings for a party. The jockeys took it, too.
Now, i'm only one of thousands of "insiders" who have
wound up as surprised at a Derby finish as the guy
whose only interest in horses is at Derby time. And my
loss was nothing compared to others. - ,
I used to ride for Col., Edward Bradley, a big horse
owner who was supposed to be an "expert's expert." In
1921, Bradley bet $10,000 at 100-1 odds on his Black Serv-

ant months before the Derby. The odds were high because
chances were that the horse wouldn't even' make the
Derby. But Black Servant made it, broke out of the gate
first, widened his lead on every turn, and pulled away in
the stretch while his opposition faded. Colonel Bradley
had a cool million dollars barreling for the finish line.
But Derby Day is the only time they allow people on
the infield, and a fan leaning on the rail waved his straw
hat and frightened Black Servant. He lost by a thin head.
Ironically, it was Colonel Bradley's "other" horse in the
race, Behave Yourself, that whipped Black Servant. Brad
ley was the most disgusted owner ever to step into the
winner's circle.
Although I'm not a gambler and seldom bet, I will be
making a sentimental wager Sp'.urday, even though I know
nobody can figure what's going to happen in those few
minutes of racing history. That's what makes the Ken
tucky Derby the classic it is.
