Plenty Of Choices In Kentucky Derby Todav ' By ORLO ROBERTSON LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Is Carry Back, who strikes from far back with power in the @ home stretch, your choice for Saturday's 87th rupning of the $125000 added Kentucky 4 Derby? CROZIER TWO CANADIAN-OWNED (Alberta Stables) horses, Flutterby and Four - and- Twenty, are among the 15 best three-year-olds in North America, who will compete in the historic "Run For The Roses" the Kentucky Derby, CARRY BACK at Churchill Downs, Louis- ville, this afternoon. Crozier, also shown above, beat out Four-and-Twenty in the Derby Trial Stakes. Carry Back is another of the top favorites. ~--AP Wirephoto Or perhaps you favor a horse like Canadian - owed Flutterby or Ambiopoise, who prefer to lay closer to the early pace and attempt to overpower the oppo- sition in the final eighth of a mile? But if you like horses who break from the starting gate with a burst of speed, then your preference must be among Ca- nadian - owned Four - and- Twenty, Crozier, Globemaster or Sherluck. There was strong argument for all of them, even the late- running Dr. Miller, as the names of an expected field of 15 three - year - olds were |dropped into the entry box at Churchill Downs Friday. Carry Back became the No. 1 nominee when his trainer, Jack Price, dropped in the en- try Wednesday. He said he didn't want to "get entangled in all the mob" today. If 15 parade to the post at an- cient Churchill Downs late da- turday, the 1%-mile classic will be worth $163,000 with $120,500 going to the winner. Only one Kentucky Derby has been richer, in 1956 when Needles won. Post time is approximately 5:30 pm. EDT. Television (CBS) is 5:15 to 5:45 p.m. The weather bureau isn't cer- tain yet what the forecast will be. But rain or shine, Churchill Downs is expected to be packed with its usual estimated crowd of around 100,000. As Derby fever gripped this Ohio River city, visitors to the DETROIT (AP) -- Powerboat owner Lee Schoenith challenged the mayor of Picton Thursday night to put up a cash prize to preserve the 1961 Harmsworth Trophy race. "Let him put up $40,000 and I'll go to Picton," barked Scho- enith, whose Gale V was beaten by Canada's Miss Supertest III in last year's international chal- lenge race on the Bay of Quinte near Picton. Schoenith said earlier this week he wouldn't enter his re- powered Gale VI in the Harms- SPORT FROM BRITAIN Wide-Open Cricket Has More Appeal For Fans By PAUL WESTBROOK Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- Seventeen sun - bronzed Australians have come to Britain determined to retain The Ashes and perhaps dispel some of the boredom that has seized followers of cricket in England. They are Australia's Test team which will engage Eng- land's eleven at Birmingham June 8 in the first of five matches. The Ashes, symbolic of cricket supremacy between the two countries, were won by the Aussies on home territory two years ago. While winning is uppermost in the minds of both teams the style of play may or may not contribute to a revival of spectator interest here in cricket generally. In the last decade intense desire to win Tests has resulted in the captains adopting defen- sive tactics, turning the matches into five days of ennui for the spectators. The trend spread into County Championship matches, with the result that action - hungry fans have begun seeking more exciting diversions on their free afternoons. There were noticeable gaps in the terraces during Eng- land's one-sided win over South Africa last summer. But during the winter, in the Australia - West Indies tests, both captains took the offensive. Hundreds of runs were scored each day and fieldsmen began to show a sense of urgency. The result was record crowds at Adelaide, Sydney and Mel bourne. English officials, particularly those who control the purse- strings, are hoping that Richie Benaud, the Australian skipper, SPORTS BRIEFS TIES DASH RECORD SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) -- Dennis Johnson, San Jose State College flash from Jamaica, of- ficially tied the world record for the 100-yard dash Friday night --the fourth time this year he has zipped off a 9.3 - seccnd clocking. Two of the official clocks caught Johnson in 9.3. A third one had him in 9.4.

'WOODBINE TO OPEN BPORONTO (CP)--The 102nd r of organized thoroughbred rse racing in Toronto will ben Monday at Old Woodbine back. Old Woodbine's 24-day meeting traditionally at- cts the largest crowds of the wadian racing season. For the o years attendance at the meeting has averaged Ater than 10,000 persons a day ad betting has exceeded $500,- 000 daily. The feature race open- day will be the $7,500 Star Stakes, a seven-furlongs for three-year-old fillies. will infuse a little of this en- thusiasm over here, where the game is becoming rather like the English summer -- predict- ably dull. Despite the publicity that greeted the Australians on their, arrival, veteran observers maintain that this is one of the weakest Aussie sides ever sent on tour. During the winter the West Indians revealed that Austra- lia's bowling was dependent on the two - pronged attack of Benaud and Alan Davidson. To strengthen this veteran partnership the selectors have included Frank Misson, Lindsay Kline, Ian Quick, Ron Gaunt and 19-year-old Graham Mac- kenzie in the bowling squad. STRONG AT BAT Misson, a tall, tow - haired physical - fitness devotee, and Gaunt, the fastest bowler in the squad, are the most likely can- didates for Test places. In batting the Australians are strong, although openers Ron Simpson and Colin McDonald are sometimes vulnerable to fast bowling. In Neil Harvey and Norman O'Neill they have two world-class performers. Harvey, a 32-year-old Sydney salesman, is making his fourth tour to England and is a vet- eran of 69 Test matches. Vying for the other two bat. ting spots are Kenny (Slasher) Mackay, Brian Booth and Peter Burge. Booth, 27, is a newcomer from Sydney and is reputed to be a crowd - pleasing stylist. Mackay is a direct contrast. The "Slasher" tag was given him by sarcastic Queensland fans who object to his slow, cautious batting. The first choice wicket-keeper is Wally Grout, probably the world's safest catcher and an aggressive batsman. Australia's final eleven for the first Test is expected to be: Simpson, McDonald, Har- vey, O'Neill, Booth, Mackay, Benaud, Davidson, Grout, Mis- son and Gaunt. worth scheduled for Aug. 5-8 and that other American boat owners also wanted to compete in the Seattle Seafair Regatta the same weekend. "American boat owners can't afford to pass up the Seattle race which has $40,000 in prizes to compete in the Harmsworth which carries only prestige," Schoenith said. "Why should I support a race at Picton when the biggest race in history is at the same time in the United States?' he asked. At Picton, Mayor Harvey Mc- Farland said American drivers want the date changed because they have cold feet. "I don't understand that," blurted Schoenith. "I can't say that the treat- ment I received in Picton was the best I ever received. It was U.S.Powerboat Owner Dares Picton Mayor Put Up $40,000 Purse poor hospitality. The mayor didn't invite me, my driver (Bill Cantrell), or any of my crew to any of his social func- tions. "I don't think he's qualified to speak about raceboating and tell raceboat drivers when they can race." Mayor McFarland also said the Americans were afraid they wouldn't be able to win the tro- phy and wanted the race on their own waters. He said that while Picton is a speed course the Americans feel they have a better chance on rough water where they can manipulate their boats and cut around buoys.

Horses and jockeys have tumbled and slithered in the mud and goo and, at times, the pari - mutuel windows have taken on the appearance of department stores on sale days. "We've had 22 consecutive days of horrible weather such as low temperatures, rain, cloud- bursts and what have you and only a couple of jockeys have balked at taking mounts," a Jockey Club official said this week, "Old - timers can't re- member such a streak of foul weather." Attendance and betting fig- ures are down from the corres- ponding meet of 1960. Figures compiled to last Tuesday showed a handle of $6,575,663 against $7,700,009 in 1960 and attendance at 124,629 compared with 138,926.
