Bless Me Derby Bets and Yankees Cardinal Talk
Juicy Klein bets Bless Me to win the 1942 Kentucky Derby and predicts the Yankees will win the American League while the Cardinals top the Dodgers in the National League. Indiana attorney Bull Myers backs the Indians’ strong spring and notes rookie help plus Harder’s return, but still favors New York. A Derby era tale of Helen Mojeska at Churchill Downs adds a cautionary joke about mint juleps and hospitality.
