Derby Hopefuls Appear Ready for May Run
EW YORK March 22 The East likely holds the whip hand in the 65th Kentucky Derby. El Chico, Winter book favorite and last year’s champion juvenile, rests at Belmont Park after two speed tests. Johnstown is set for a distance trial at Aqueduct this Saturday. El Chico shed excess weight and may weigh about 1,000 pounds for the April 29 Wood Memorial at Jamaica. Johnstown has grown six inches taller and will weigh about 50 pounds more than El Chico for the first 1939 start. Trainers Matt Brady and James Fitzsimmons expressed confidence, noting Derby day is six weeks away and many factors could alter outcomes.
