THIS IS HOW THEY LOOKED AS THEY CAME HOME UNDER THE WIRE 'Northern Dancer' Is First Canadian-Bred fourth in the Derby--something' almost unbelievable when one sonsiders that he's only had six has been favored.

Wins Kentucky Derby LOUISVILLE (CP,- AP) -- Northern Dancer, first Cana- dian-bred ever to wear the Ken- Derby's roses around his neck, goes after a similar gar- land of black-eyed susans in the Preakness May 16. The stout-hearted little colt nominated himself as the only 6 surviving candidate for the ~ triple crown Saturday when he , won a stretch duel with the fa- _ vored Hill Rise to capture the 90th running of the Derby by a neck in the record time of, two minutes flat. If he wins the Preakness, over 1 3-16 miles--1-16 shorter than the Derby distance--at Pimlico, he'll have the 114-mile Belmont Stakes to conquer to become the § first..triple-crown winner since Citation pulled it off in 1948. Luro gives full credit to jockey Bill Hartack's ability to get the most out of the Danc- er's talents as the difference in the Derby. "The horse is 75 per cent and the jockey 25 per cent," Luro said, "If they both give. their best, you win most of the time. '"'Hartack is a yery smart boy and took advantage of every bit of ability that my horse has," Luro said. '"'Hartack' listens to everything you tell him and he remembers. Most jockeys for- get everything you've told them the moment they get on the track." NO EXCUSE Willie Shoemaker, who rode} Hill Rise, offered no excuse for) his hu::=, who was trying to catch the winner in the final sixteenth of a mile. Early in April, Shoemaker decided not to. ride Northern Dancer in the Derby, saying he thought Hill Rise was a much better horse. "Shoemaker rode a perfect race too," Luro said. 'But; somebody has to run second."

Northern Dancer, who took the lead in the $156,800 Derby as the field of 12 made the stretch turn, covered the last quarter of a mile in 24 seconds, tying a record set in 1941 by |Whirlaway. Following the top three, in or- der, were Roman Brother, Quadrangle, Mr. Brick and Mr. Moonlight. They will head for New York within a day or so and await decisions by their trainers on entering the Preak- ness.

Bill Finnegan, who trains Hill Rise, took full blame. for the loss when asked if he thought |Shoemaker was outridden, 'If lany mistake was made, it was made by me, "Northern Dancer moves quicker than my horse. Per- haps I should have given Hill Rise more speed tests. Both horses ran their best races. The Preakness should be a great re- peat _performance."'
