Sports Parade
By Henry McLemore
New York, April 26—(UP)—Those who would will go in the Wood.
I mean, of course, that those three-year-old horses who would challenge the mighty Bimelech in the Kentucky Derby will take one final test of their fitness tomorrow at rickety little Jamaica race course in the 1940 renewal of the $20,000 Wood Memorial—the best known of the Ivy League derby preps.
We all know about Bimelech now, after what he did to Joseph E. Widener's Roman in the Blue Grass stakes at Kenneland. That baby doesn't need any man's help from here on out. He's just a lonely sort of cuss with a garboesque penchant for aloofness. The farther he can stay away from other horses, the better he likes it, and he likes i best.
But if some trim-legged little number comes winging down that straightaway at Jamaica tomorrow and then keeps right on going until he feels the caress of Matt Winn's rose horse-shoe around his neck on May 4—well, it wouldn't be the first time. Johnston, for instance, did it last year. Gallant Fox did it back in 1932. Omaha didn't win the wood, but if he had had about the same distance as there is between the ordinary living room and kitchen left to run, he would have won it.
When I mention distance let me state right here that tomorrow's wood will be the most important ever run. In past years this fixture has been held over a course that measured a mile and 70 yards. This year, however, it has been stretched to a full mile and a sixteenth, so it will take a bit more horse with a bit more run to win it.
Just what horse that will be I frankly don't know. There are at least two dozen horses eligible, and in the past performance chart of the racing form they all look as spotty as the Dionne quintuplets with simultaneous cases of strawberry rash and the measles. Maybe they can run as fast as Bimelech, but apparently they won't unless some equine wreathe breathes upon their rumps and hollers: "boo."
Among the distinguished guests to be present in the starting gate when the meeting is called to order are Arnold Hangar's Dit, Belair Stud's Fenelon, Wheatley Stable's Merry Knight, C. V. Whitney's Flight Command and Carrier Pigeon, something called Robert E. Lee, which may very well be a steamboat—and after the rain they've had the past week at Jamaica, it would be better off if it were—Damon Runyan's Tight Shoes, and the usual assortment of chocolate, vanilla, orange, lemon and lime.
Of all these mentioned, I believe Dit has the best chance. Dit ran only four times last year and certainly set none of his owner's barns afire, but he was well liked by horsemen. He started here the other day for the first time this season and turned back Wheatley's Asp and Tight Shoes fairly easily. He's one who may like the derby route.
