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.

SO Conference Clubs
Have Saturday Tilts
One Southern Oregon con
ference baseball doublebill
and two games match loop
members with non-league foes
are on the slate for Saturday,
The conference battle will
bring Klamath Falls to Ash
land. Two ' games are sched
uled with one counting and
jayvees of the two schools are
also billed at Ashland. Med
ford varsity goes to Yreka,
Calif., and Crater Journey's
to Corvallis to engage the
Oregon State university
Rooks. .
A possibility at Corvallis is
that the Comets may face an
ex-Crater pitcher, Bill An
horn. The Rooks meet Rose
burg at 1 p.m. and Crater in
the second tussle of a twinbill.
Coaching the OSU fresmen is
Jerry Droscher, ex-Roseburg
high, who once played for the
semi - pro Medford Cheney
Studs.
Samples Picked
Comet Coach Bill Piche has
named Denny Samples as
pitcher against the Rooks.
Mike Pepper will be used if
a reliever is needed. Regular
first baseman Jim Allen is in
a school play and will not
make the trip. Willie Jones
will get the call at that posi
tion. Medford mentor John Ko
venz could call on either Bob
Quihney or Herb Wheeler, de
pending on whether today's
tilt scheduled Grants Pass tiffs
were played and who pitched.
At Ashland Coach Bill Ley-
bold could name I.ob King or
Larry Pierce. The Klamath
tutor could send Wally Palm-
berg on the hill against the
Grizzlies.
Snowmen Take
Trip To Shasta
Eighteen Rogue Snowmen
Ski club members and 10
others formed a contingent
last week end for a skiing
trip to Mt. Shasta Ski bowl.
They stayed overnight at a
Weed, Calif., motel and spent
Sunday skiing. The group re
ported skiing conditions ex
cellent. ,
In the party were eight
persons from Klamath Falls
and two from Seattle, Wash.
Arrangements for the trip
were made by Wayne Martell
and Art Ekerson, Snowmen
members, and Ted Hedlund,
owner of Weed's Plnehurst
motel.
