PRIZES Sponsored by St Johns Church Another Kentucky Derby passes Into history to be recorded into the colorless exactitude of mathematical equine annals another winner is being glamorized as the most remarkable animal of the era which custom and the routine procedure But how long will the glamor last How soon will it be rubbed off When if ever wilt the practical and none sport more so horse folk remark scornfully How did THAT thing ever come to win the Derby Never perhaps This winner may move on to equal the greatness of who triumphed in the Run for the Roses But we recall a Derby winner who never had greatness before and never afterward His brief moment of glory came that May afternoon of when in the final yards of the Churchill Downs stretch two horses thundered towards the wire urged by their two frantic jockeys One and his glory too later faded off into sheer disgrace was Donald Meade riding Brokers Tip next to the rail executing one of the tricks that led to his disbarment He had a grip on the saddle cloth of the other horse Head Play ridden by Herbie Fisher As the horses the finish spectators saw Fisher strike Meade with his bat as he sought to shake Meade loose from the clinging grip on his saddlecloth They were almost inseparable as they tore past the post The judges saw Brokers Tips nose in front There was a tremendous roar from the 35000 Kentucklans present for a Bradley horse had won the fourth Derby for his owner and the winners share of It was one of the most thrilling finishes in Derby his tory and one of the most talked about The winner was a great horse that days as thousands sang his praises and columns of print glorified his quality But the sudden glory faded fast When Brokers Tip won that Derby he was a maiden He had never won a race He was the second maiden in history to have won the classic the Canadian- owned Sir Barton having preceded him Sir Barton racing for the late Commander J K I Ross went on to become a famous racer but Brokers Tip went on to become a flop One week after the Derby he raced Head Play and others in the another stake Head Play won but Brokers Tip the great horse of the week before ran absolutely last In fact he never won a race again When retired to the breeding farm he apparently was a failure there And a few years later the horse that won 48000 that May after noon was sold for a mere and completely disappeared from view Sic transit gloria Perhaps were laying too much stress on the glories of a Derby which really isnt a Derby at all in the truest sense of the word Its a weak imitation of the daddy of all derbies the English race which is at a mile and a half a quarter- mile longer than the American race The Belmont Stakes is the nearest replica on this side of the Atlantic to the Epsom
