Benjamin Block Has Decided
to Start^Colt in Ken
tucky Derby.
I Morvieh, the champion two-year-ol 1
colt of the American turf last year and
this year's favorite for the Kentucky
Derby, literally flew in his workout yes
terday morning at the Jamaica track.
The Block colt traveled the fastest,
half mile of his training: campalgm, when
he ran the distance la 47 4-5 seconds
pulled up. Had not the exercise lad who
was up on Morvlch been under orders to
hold the colt In the last furlong Morvieh
vould have shadowed 46 seconds. Th*
son of Hunnymede-Hymlr did the first
furlong in 11 seonds, the quarter In
and pafl8(,d the three
quarter mile post in 34 4-5 seconds.
So pleased was Benjamin Block, owner
vHtK th? an? Fred Burlew, his trainer,
with the performance that Mr. Block
announced immediately after the trial
j!Vhe. c0,u ^ould be a sure starter in
the Kentucky Derby.
W?k0^ was short of sensational.
