Down the stretch at the Downs today, blazing along like a runaway, came a great big hoss to take it all--the gold and. glory that's the Derby haul. He looked Brevity in the eye at the last eighth pole, turned on the heat and began to roll.

The big horse was Bold Venture, a chestnut colt, and his silks were the white and chocolate-barred banners of Morton Schwartz of Chicago. Riding his back, like a cat on a-. limb, in the mad drive down the) stretch in the running of the class-Kentucky Derby, was Ira Hanford.

The big boy wham- jmed the distance in 2:03 3-5, and only two other winners in Derby have made it in under 2:04. of them was the barrel-chested Twenty Grand, who holds the Blue record of 2:01 4-5, and the other was Old Rosebud, who, in 11914, whipped around in 2:03. 4-5.
