KENTUCKY DERBY 93 



but it was to no avail, for the big colt had enough left to 

 stall off the efforts of the tired pair behind him. 



Sir Huon broke a tradition in the race, and that was that 

 a colt which had not previously started the same year that 

 the Derby was run always got beat, no matter how good his 

 work might have been.

Pink Star, b c, 3, by Pink Coat — Mary Mallov. Owned by 

 J. Hal Woodford, trained by W. H. Fizer. 



In the presence of an enormous crowd, J. Hal Woodford's 

 Pink Star won the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on 

 Monday, the opening day of the New Louisville Jockey Club's 

 spring meeting. Behind Pink Star were Zal, Ovelando, Red- 

 gauntlet, Wool Sandals and Orlandwick. 



Redgauntlet was made favorite. Pink Star's victory was not 

 a popular one. The public had no confidence in the flashy 

 grandson of the great Leonatus, which won the same event in 

 1883, and neither did his owner Hal Woodford of Paris, K}\ 

 But his trainer, W. H. Fizer, fairly bubbled with enthusiasm 

 over the chances of his colt. "So these are the Derby horses?"
