1 Gazette Thursday, May 5, 1983 Page 23 Marfa looms as Ke Kentucky Derby favorite LOUISVILLE, Ky (AP) Trainer: Harvey Vanier maintains Marfa wild 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. A field of 20 3-year-olds, restricted to the top money-winners, was expected when the entry box opened this morning for the run over miles. Each will carry 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.

Was it a fluke win for Play Fellow? "Marfa had every opportunity to get by him," said Vanier, a 59-yearold from Waterloo, Ill. "I don't think he could have gotten by me if we'd gone around another time." As for the Derby, Vanier said, "I think it's going to come down to racing 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 runnerup 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 I have 3 chance." Other leading contenders are Sunny'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 find out 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 Play Fellow finished only lengths behind the winner.
