n appreciate your compliment. I regard it as the
greatest afternoon in my whole life for the reason that I was born and
reared in Louisville and I have won Louisville's greatest race. I will
never forget this day as long as I live. I will say for my mount that he
did all I asked of him throughout the race. He held his position well in
the early part and finished staunch and game when I called on him in the
stretch. While I rode him to the best of my ability, I was on a good horse
to-day."

Donerail, the winner of the thirty-ninth Kentucky Derby, was raised on
John S. Barbee's Glen-Helen Farm, near Lexington. Mr. Barbee keeps all of
Mr. Hayes' mares. Ten Point, the second horse, was also raised on Mr.
Barbee's farm. Donerail gets his name from Donerail, a flag station near
Lexington on the Q. & C. Railway.
Donerail was sired by imp. McGee, a stallion owned by Charles W. Moore,
Mere Hill Stud, near Lexington. McGee was imported from England by E.
Corrigan and raced in this country by that turfman with much success.
Algie M., the dam of Donerail, is by Hanover out of Johnetta, by Bramble.

grandam, got Ben Brush, the Kentucky Derby winner of 1896.
Donerail is a nicely made colt of mo
