Derby Hopefuls Buzz as Stable Wings Beeline to Spring Races
ARLY DERBY BIRDS fly across the national scene with two Vanderbilt contenders Cousin and Whither leading the way at Santa Anita. Hill Gail from the Warren Wright and Jimmy Jones camp is a strong Derby candidate while Primate Tom Fool Count Flame and Count Fleet line the list of potential stars. Amiel predicts Count Flame may win the 1952 Derby and notes Hill Gail could target Santa Anita and Churchill Downs.
