drama what happened on May I921 the fiftieth running of the Derby which is not even a Derby For was the day when through the Derby crowd there walked to the judges stand a woman in mourning amid the wild cheers of the multitude to receive the token of victory That was the day Black Cold won the Derby and this is the story behind it Black Gold was owned by Mrs It Hoots widow of an Oklahoma on man who had gone broke in his search for that very thing for which he named his horse black gold Bis appointed discouraged he failed health and died In the waning days of Ills all Hoots and his family had was the horse Black Gold They campaigned it north and south won some lesser races termed Derbies with the black son of Black but racing against the brilliant performers who carried the colors of millionaire owners of famous breeding farms of the and Brail leys and and Black Gold was rated as having a scant chance for the Derby Not at least until a few days before when he won the Derby Trial impressively The legend is that when Hoots realized his days were numbered he exacted a promise from his wife that Black Gold should have chance for high stakes a chance in the Kentucky Derby if for no other reason than reward for his honest performances So in the widow took the horse to Churchill Downs There was no trumpet to herald his arrival It was more like an outcast trying to break into high society After all Black Gold was a from the small tracks out in the sticks so they thought as the field went to the post But two minutes later when the field came under the wire it was Gold which showed the way beating out from the rich Stable by halt a length in a driving finish Ami the men of millions had to make way for the widow oil man who died broke when the path was opened to the
