Show BRADLEY COLT SHOWING GLASS Boilermaker Becomes Serious Threat for Kentucky Derby, Der-by, Says Scribe By ALAN GOULD (Asaaeiated Press Sparta Writer) It'a a trifle early and Inconvenient Inconven-ient Just now, to grsb anything off the bankroll for the Kentucky derby future books. However, It might be worth while to Jot down a name for later reference. refer-ence. It's Boilermaker, not from old Purdue, but from the barns of Colonel Colo-nel Edward Riley Bradley, and a chestnut son of Bubbling Over. This Is noteworthy because Bubbling Bub-bling Over won the Kentucky derby in 12 and sired Burgoo King, the winner In 1932. It is one of those "naturals" wa all like to speculate upon but which seldom develop their potentialities. Boilermaker Is a msiden, never having hav-ing won a race In two starts aa a 2-year-old, but showed enough speed in both instances to justify more than casual Interest. IS SOUND AGAIN The colt then developed osselets and was retired to Idle Hour farm. But now, writes Neville Dunn of the Lexington Herald, ha Is sound again and working in promising fashion. "He is a srand looking colt," adds Dunn, "well set up on powerful legs, showing plenty of driving power. His rsces last year did not stamp him as a tried contender for the derby, but the Bradley! are 'high' on his chances, nevertheless.' London's "Sporting Life" carries the picture of a sweet-faced kid, Terry Ryan, who has just had twelve candles can-dles on his birthday cake and will make his debut this spring on the English En-glish turf as an apprentice jockey. On South African tracks last year, at the ripe old age of 11, Terry rode nineteen winners. He attracted so much attention that his parents were induced to let him go to the motherland mother-land for further training and experience experi-ence with the thoroughbreds. |
