0 A snn a w lontucliy Derby On Saturday; Garry Back in Favorite Role MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON By RAY AYRES v Loiiiivllle, Ky. - (UPD - The field for the 87th Kentucky Derby wi set at IS and the starting alignment fixed by post, but owners, trainers and . jockeys still huddled today over strategy for Saturday's running of the $163,000 turf : classic. There was no secret session between Jack Price, who con : ditions Carry Back, the 8-2 favorite, and young Johnny Sellers, the tall jockey who will ride him over the mile and one-quarter distance. "I never "give Johnny any instructions," Price said "Do you want me to get blamed if the horse gets beat?" he quipped. "No, all I do is tell him to get a hold of a racing fofm, go over the horses he is up against and ' plan his own race. He knows what he is doing and he has been doing fine so far." Price was referring to Carry Back's victories this year in the Everglades, the Flamingo . and the Florida Derby. Nor was Tom Kelly, trainer i of the $80,000 Globemaster, any longer concerned with '. battle plans. ' Studies Charts Ever since he arrived here from New York with Globe ' master a few days after the ' colt won the Wood Memorial '. at Aqueduct, beating Carry Back, Kelly has been studying ' charts, He poured over the frac tional times in which previ- : ous Kentucky Derbys were run to determine how fast the early stages had been timed and the results produced. Kelly has decided to "send him" and predicts that "any horse that tries to go with ' Globemaster will be wiped off the board, ' This is a risky plan in a mile and one-quarter race but It has worked many times In the past. "That is the way ' Globemaster won the Wood," . Kelly points out. A glance at the past per ' formances of the horses en tered Thursday in the Rose ' Run reveals that several oth ; ers also are endowed with ' "natural ' speed" and their ; trainers undoubtedly will in struct the riders to take full advantage of it. Thus Johnny Longden, who . numbers' one Kentucky Derby victory arr.rmg the more than come out with a rush with Four-and-Twenty, the Santa Anita Derby winner. Braulio Baeza of .Panama will try the same tactics with Crozier, second choice to Carry Back at 3-1. That was the way Baeza rode Crozier in the Derby Trial on Tues day, dogging the front runner Four-and-Twenty all the way until deep in ' the stretch. There Crozier left his rival with ease and streaked under the wire in 1:34 3-5 for a mile, a record performance. Robert Nono also rides a nimble-footed colt in Light Talk, a fast-breaker who led all the way in winning the Stepping Stone Purse on open ing day at Churchill Downs. Another horse with early speed is Dearborn who, in the No. 1 post position, is in a perfect spot to make the most of his rapidity out of the starting gate. Sellers Is likely to let the "speedballs" roll on their merry way for he is counting upon Carry Backs stretch punch to carry him to victory. Won't Reveal Plans Harold Young, who trains Sherluck for Jacob Sher, has no intention to reveal the In structions he will give Eddie Arcaro when he lifts "The Master" into the saddle on Saturday. "But it's pretty obvious the classic way to win this classic race is to get a favorable po sition early, within striking distance of the pace, and then make a bid for it in the run home," he said. Sherluck won the Blue Grass Stakes by go ing to the front at the start and Increasing his leading margin all the way. "But there was no 'speed horse' in the race and he just found himself In front,1 young said. Jay Fox, On His Metal Loyal Son, Ambiopolse, and Flutterby probably will try the same tactics. Sellers, never in a hurry to move Carry . Back to the front, easily could, trail the field for almost six furlongs with Dr. Miller and Bass Clef. But Sellers is more likely to try for a spot closer at the front.. . If these late runners make It, they will have to "come out of the clouds." And that has been done before too. District Net Meets Scheduled Saturday Southern Oregon school district playoffs are scheduled Saturday in tennis. Boys will play at Ashland and girls at Medford. This is District 3 and each of the tourneys, according to the plan listed in the Oregon School Activities association Inter-scholastic, will qualify three . singles entrants and three doubles teams for the state championship matches, The state tourney will be at Corvallis on May 12 and 13.
