(Batettt Thursday, Mgy 5, 1983 Poge 23 Marfa looms as Kentucky Derby favorite low's first gallop over the track after shipping In Tuesday night from Keeneland. A "loose" horse caused the concern. "He survived that," said Vanier. "He didn't get shook up, but I almost came apart at the seams." Play Fellow is Vanier's second Derby starter. He ran Admiral's Shield, who ran sixth in 1970.

In six starts this year. Play Fellow has three wins, a second and a third. Play Fellow ran three times at Churchill Downs last fall, which is one reason the colt didn't ship here until Tuesday night. LOUISVILLE, Ky (AP) Trainer: Harvey Vanicr maintains Marfa and all" is the horse to beat in Saturday's Kentucky Derby. But Play Fellow, Vanier's beat Marfa before, and the trainer feels his colt can do it again in the 109th running of the classic race at Churchill Downs.

i A field of 20 3-yearolds, restricted tb the top money-winners, was expected when the entry box opened this morning for the run over 1ft miles. Each wilt carry 126 pounds. Post time is 5:38 p.m. EDT with a first prize if all go. Pleasant weather is forecast.

Santa Anita Derby winner Marfa, who ran erratically in winning the Jim Beam Spiral Stakes and losing the Blue Grass, is part of trainer Wayne Lukas' three-horse entry along with Balboa Native and Total Departure. Because of Marfa, that entry is the likely favorite. Not since 1946 has there been a three-horse entry in the Derby. Play Fellow, at odds of 19-1, scored by a nose over Marfa in the Blue Grass Stakes last Thursday after getting clear sailing through the stretch while Marfa interfered with Desert Wine and Copelan in the upper stretch. Marfa then came on to battle Play WARREN CONCRETE SEPTIC IMS DELIVERY ANYWHERE IN INDIANA COUNTY chance.

Other leading contenders are 5un-ny's Halo, winner of the Rebel Handicap and Arkansas Derby, the Canadian-bred colt's only two starts this.year. Trainer David Cross has defended racing Sunny's Halo so lightly by saying, "Either I'm a jerk or a genius. We'll And out Saturday." Current Hope, who hasn't raced since taking the Flamingo April 2, and Slew O'Gold, winner of a division of the Wood Memorial and sired by 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, also among the leading rivals. Play Fellow needed the Blue Grass victory to be assured of a berth in the Derby since he had earned only $44,000 before that. One reason the son of On The Sly, owned by Carl Lauer, Robert Victor and Nancy Vanier, trainer's wife, got off at such long odds was his 10th place finish in the Flamingo.

But Vanier said, "It was one of his best races if you consider all the traffic problems. He showed a lot of determination." Play Fellow finished only 34 lengths behind the winner. A scare was thrown into Vanier Wednesday morning for Play Fel Fellow in the stretch before Just falling Marfa was disqualified, from second to fourth. Was it a fluke win for Play Fellow? "Marfa had every opportunity to get by him," said Vanier, a 59-year-old from Waterloo, III. "I don't think he could have gotten by me if we'd gone around another time." As for the Derby.

Vanier said, "1 think it's going to come down to racing luck. If we have it, we're going to be awful tough." Jean Cruguet, now 43, was the oldest jockey to win the Derby when he piloted Seattle Slew home in 1977. He has the mount on Play Fellow. In addition to Marfa, Lukas has the Louisiana Derby winner In Balboa Native, and the Derby Trial rmv nerup in Total Departure. Hall of Fame trainer Woody Stephens also has an entry, Derby Trial winner Caveat and Chumming, second in the Flamingo but fifth in the Derby Trial after stumbling at the start.

"There are half a dozen horses here who can win it' said Stephens, 69, who won the 1974 Derby with Cannonade. "I have a chance, nothing outstanding, but 1 have a Tomb Trucking Inc.
