irom a racing viewpoint this is rather more than likely to be the supreme moment in the horse's life, although hed probably rather have a bucket of oats. Considering that the Kentucky Derby field is supposed to include the very creme de la creme of each season's crop of three-year-olds, a surprising number of its winners wind up behind an equine eight-ball so to speak.

Bradley Is the only horse owner to have saddled four Derby winners but, if you remember their names, the chances are it's because you know the names pf all Bradley horses begin with the letter The 1933 Derby was the only race Broker's Tip ever won in life. Burgoo King (1932) won the Preakness, then broke down. Bubbling Over (1926) never raced after winning the Derby. He was immediately retired to stud. Bradley's earliest winner, Behave Yourself (1921), accomplished little after his Kentucky victory, failed at stud and wound up in the U.

S. Remount Service. A tragic Derby story in retrospect is the saga of Old Rosebud, the 1914 winner. You couldn't exactly call this gallant gelding a failure. Far from it.

He became a top-notch handicap horse for some seasons. But they wanted to keep him running forever, and as he aged he was relegated to claiming races. Finally, he went to the races once too often. In 1922 when he was 11 years old he broke a leg in a race at Jamaica and had to be destroyed. DERBY SWAN SONG The 1922 Derby was the swan song of Morvich, who was thought to be one of the greatest speedsters ever foaled.

As a two-year-old, he won 11 out of 11. The Derby was his first start as a three-year-old. He won but never won another race. Paul Jones (1920) and Clyde Van Dusen (1929) wound up as lead ponies. Whiskery (1927) was a failure at stud, became a saddle horse before going so haywire that he had to be destroyed.

Black Gold (1924) went wrong at the end of that year, tried a comeback in 1927 and broke his leg in an early race. He is buried in the infield at the New Orleans Fair Grounds. Reigh Count (1923), Twenty Grand (1931) and Omaha (1935) wound up big money winners, but, all three disappointed their owners by failing to knock the English dead in big stake races on the other side. LONG SHOTS The longest priced Derby winner was Donerail (1913). He paid a tasty $184.90 and was ridden to victory by a Jockey with the intriguing name of Roscc Goose.

Donerail won a few races after that, too. He probably did as well or better than Gallahadion, a much more recent long shot. Gallahadion paid a cool $72.40 and the players may not have been so far off line at that. At any rate, Gallahadion won only three races in his entire career. The moral of the lesson appears to be that victory in the Derby does not necessarily make a great horse although some hardboot would probably shoot any one voicing that notion at Churchill Downs tomorrow.

THE ELITE Of course, great horses have won in Kentuckyplenty of them. One of the best was Exterminator, still kicking clover at the ripe old age of 30. The longest shot in the race, he paid he won the 1918 Derby and went on from there to become one of the greatest handicap horses in history. He won 50 races in an even 100 starts, his last three victories coming when he was aged nine and affectionately known as "Old Bag of Bones." The six horses who won the triple-crown, consisting of the Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont, rate among the elite of the turf. They were Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941) and Count Fleet (1943).

But it is rather disconcerting to Derbyfans that Sir Barton, first horse to gain the triple-crown, should be remembered chiefly for a race he lost rather than his impressive victories. In 1920 as a four-year-old, he met three-year-old Man o' War in an $80,000 match race at the Kenilworth track up in Canada.

He's dune quite well. For today, Eddie rates as the race rider's race rider. In the days of his apprenticeship the stars of the saddle were men like Earle Sande and Laverne Fa tor. Well, Eddie's the big boy now. Yet he looks like any undersized file clerk who has to get a chair to reach the top drawer.

Any evening will find him mowing the lawn at his comfortable Long Island home or mending the toys of his son or daughter. But don't let that innocent appearance fool you. Eddie the hardboot knows his thoroughbreds. And he knows Hoop Jr. He should, for he brought the colt home first in the Wood Memorial.

That's why when the band plays "My Old Kentucky Home'' the Downs on Saturday there will be a lot of eyes on the colt carrvnis Arcaro. Boot Eddie up and let him go. They won't make the mistake that trainer made when Eddie first was breaking into the racing game. This erudite soul, sending his plater in a cheap mile affair, instructed Arcaro thusly: "I want' you to come out of thg gate fast, but not too fast, I want you to lay fourth untl lthe first turn, move up to third on the back stretch, be second at the far turn and then, at the head of the stretch, take the lead and come on to win." The horse finished seventh. "Didn't I tell you what to do?" screamed the trainer, catching Arcaro en route to the tack room.

"Didn't I tell you to come out of the gate fast, but not too fast; to lay fourth at the time turn, move to third on the backstretch. be second at the far turn and then, at the head of the stretch, take the lead and come on to win?"
