Fourteen horses are definite starters in the $125,000 added 1 1/4 mile Kentucky Derby at Louisville with three undecided. Blue Grass Stakes winner Master Derby and Darby Dan Farm entries Prince Thou Art and Sylvan Place are favored. One likely starter, Rushing Man owner John W Mecom, must pay a 4000 entry fee by Thursday morning. An extra 3500 per horse applies if all start. If 15 run, a second gate is needed, a concern for trainers. Saturday’s crowd is not expected to reach last year’s 160000 record.
