Flying Ebony Triumphs In Kentucky Derby Race
Flying Ebony ridden by Sande won the $50,000 Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in drizzle before 75 000 to 80 000 spectators. Captain Hal finished second, Sam of John third, time 2 07 5. Sande earned 529,950 for owner Gifford A. Cochrane. Qua Train faded from the start as rain soaked gowns and hats, prompting a question about the derby name. The Louisville Times reports the Earl of Derby pronounces his name Darbi.
