FIFTEENTH DERBY 1889

A more disagreeable day for racing could hardly been imagined. It was
intensely hot, and the dust so thick you could almost cut it with a knife.
The track was watered during the night, but with all the water it did not
lay the dust, still it was a great improvement. The attendance was the
largest ever known on the Louisville track except the Ten Broeck and
Mollie McCarthy match. The crowd was so great that it was really
uncomfortable and almost impossible to move about or get into the betting
ring. The free entrance to the field attracted an immense crowd of people
and vehicles, the home stretch being twenty or more people deep for its
whole length. Notwithstanding the discomforts of the day, it was great
racing, and it will be a long time before we shall see such another field
of high class three-year olds. Just imagine over a deep dusty track, not
fast, for four three-year-olds with 118 lbs., up to a run a mile and a
half as good as 2:34-1/2, and you can at once appreciate their high class.

It is our conviction that with a stout armed jockey up Proctor Knott would
have won the Derby. There is no complaint against Barnes's riding as he
did the best he could under the circumstances. Proctor Knott is a
tremendous big stout colt, heavy heade
