Flasty Road Wins Trial Field of 17 for Derby
Louisville, Ky.—(U.P.)—Hasty Road's Derby Trial victory did little to clear the decks for Saturday's 80th annual running of the Kentucky Derby and indications today pointed to a probable field of 17.
Despite the track record-breaking time of 1.35 flat for the mile Derby trial, it looked like Hasty Road, who for the first time as a three year old showed the form which made him the all-time money winning champion of two year olds, had scared off only three of the seven also-rans in yesterday's race.
That left 20 probables for the Derby and chances are that at least three of them will be declared out before the entry box opens on Friday morning.
There was only one thing certain and that was that Hasty Road had joined Correlation, who probably will go off as the favorite; Casumo, and Determine in the list of Derby favorites. You can put in there, too, Fisherman, despite his Wood Memorial defeat by Correlation.
Winner of $277,132 as a two-year-old when he came home in front in six of his nine starts, the Hasty House farm hopeful had been a bust in 1954 up until yesterday. All he had to show for his previous four starts this year was two seconds, for total money of $2,400. But he made up for those dismal showings yesterday as he outraced Determine, the pint-sized California speedster, in a stirring stretch duel.
Determine, winner of six straight and the 3 to 5 favorite, had taken the lead by the start and then fell back to fourth place as Hasty Road, with Johnny Adams up, took over the pace. Soon after they turned for the stretch run, Determine and jockey Ray York took over the lead, but not for long. Hasty Road went in front again and that's the way they raced down the rest of the stretch and under the wire.
