CanoneroII Wins Derby By RAY AYRES UPISports Writer LOUISVILLE, Ky. (UPI)— Canonero II, born and bred in Kentucky where he was sold for $1,200 and then shipped to Venezuela, cut loose with a tremendous stretch run at Churchill Downs Saturday to win the 97th and richest running of the Kentucky Derby in a stunning upset. So lightly regarded that he was grouped with five other horses in a pari-mutuel“field,” more to Kentucky to win the Kentucky Derby.” Avila, a championrider in his own country, has ridden in the United States several times before, including twice in the Washington D.C. International at Laurel, Md., and several times at the Hialeah and Tropical Park tracks in Florida. But, he said through an interpreter earlier in the week, the Derby was the one he always wanted to win in this country. Avila won it the hard way, for his colt was buried in the field of the bulky field until he reached the middle of the final turn. Avila guided the colt to the outside and gave him the gun. The famed devil’s red and blue silks of Calumet Farm, trying for an eighth Kentucky Derbyvictory, were out in front all round the Churchill Downs oval on this sunny, cool day as Bold and Able stayed atthe rail and showed the way with Eastern Fleet right at his side. Canonero II still was several lengths behind but gaining relentlessly. Canonero II was out in the middle of the track es he swung around the last corner, but now forthe first time there waslear daylight ahead of him. It was a battle for half the length of the stretch. Then the colt ‘who got better every day he was here,” according to trainer Juan Arias, broke loose and began pulling away. Over the final sixteenth of a mile field. Present plans call for Canonero II to be sent to Baltimore to run in the Preakness Stakes, second leg of the turf’s triple 15. If he fares as well in the Derby he will be sent on to attept a sweep of the triple crown in the Belmont Stakes in New York on June 5. This was one of the most wide open renewals of the Kentucky Derby in history, made so by the fact that Heist the Flag, an even-money favorite to win the month before the race, broke down. When that poetntial champion bowed out of the picture with a broken leg, horsemen from all over the country announced they would try for the Kentucky Derby. Canonero II was thefirst Derby starter in history who had competed in a mile and a quarter race prior to the Derby. They camefrom all over the country, but none of them ever dreamed that the horse that would humble them would come from as far away as Caracas. Trainer Arias explained that Canonero’s present owners purchased him along with two others from ‘a merchant” who had bought him in the United seventh victory in 13 starts, States for $1,200. He said the horse was given the name Canonero, which means ‘“gunner” in Spanish, because the colt’s owner “likes music very much and much admired a musical group by that name which was playing in Venezuela at that time.” Canpnero II arrived at Churchill a week before the race. In addition to being the CANONEROII,with jockey Al Avila aboard, races down the homestretch enroute to victory in the 97th annual Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.’‘The horse was shipped from Venezuela for the Derby and arrived just one week before the race. Dueces Were Wild for Kansas Betting Record in which there was a betting Preakness, as he did in the Bold Reason paid $12.60 to show. Canonero II, scoring his was timed in 2:03 1-5, more than three seconds off the Derby record of 2:00 for the mile and a quarter trip set by Northern Dancerin 1964. For the first time in history they announced an official crowd, 123,284. Canonero II was shipped to South America after being purchased as a_ yearling, returned to Southern California for two races and then went back to Venezuela for nine straight races, including a mile and a quarter victory en March 7 in an unimpressive 2:08 2-5. :rhe Leach, BYU 11-71-72-214 All through his travels, owner 4.
