FIFTH DERBY 1879 



For the Kentucky Derby, Lord Murphy was made the favorite 

 at nearly even against the field, and fully justified the high 

 opinion in which he is held by his friends in running the fastest 

 Kentucky Derby on record. His trainer, George H. Rice, 

 brought him to the post in the pink of order. Though 

 Falsetto and Strathmore were defeated they lost no credit 

 and proved themselves excellent colts, and we should not be 

 surprised to see Falsetto rank yet with the best of the year.
