Derby aims and high-profile crossovers in late season romp
Kentucky racing tycoon Col E R Bradley targets a fifth Derby title with Burning Dream aided by Eddie Arcaro, while Eddie Arcaro’s past winning rides on Whirl Away and Lawrin frame a year of big racing news. Baseball notes include Walt Holborow’s potential return to Washington and Dave Ferriss’s bid to complete an AL cycle against the Senators amid asthma fears. Voiselle’s $500 fine for a soft pitch cited by Giants reporters accompanies chatter about form on the road trip.
