Craig Raymond, Brigham Hartack Still » Has No Horse By ORLO ROBERTSON s Hoj LOUISVILLE, Ky. <A>) _ Bill Hartack, horse racing’s most con fer troversial figure with an enviable ! riding record, found himself in the liib middle again Wednesday. It in- 30 pj volved which horse he’ll ride in the 93rd running of the Kentucky Derby Saturday. Frank Childs, 79-year-old dean of Kentucky Derby trainers who saddled Tomy Lee, the 1959 win ner, said the four-time national riding champion and winner of four Kentucky Derbies in seven tries will be aboard Perne Gris som’s California conditioned Dr. Isby. Earlie Fires worked Dr. Isby Wednesday morning, going one mile in 1:41 3-5. Hal Steele Jr., trainer of Der by Trial winner Barbs Delight, said he wants Hartack and the veteran jockey has promised to give him an answer Thursday morning before the entries for the Derby are made officially. “The decision is not mine to make,” said Hartack after he was seen talking with Childs. He later conferred with Steele, who also owns Barbs Delight along with Gene Spalding and Guy Huguelet of Lexington, Ky. Being in the middle or at odds with the press is nothing new for the native of Johnstown, Pa. In his younger days he was known as Willie. He later insist ed he be addressed as Bill. He repeatedly has refused to talk with newspapermen and three years ago held up an in terview with writers for 30 min utes while he signed autographs after winning his fourth Derby with Northern Dancer. Hartack had expressed a desire to ride Dr. Isby after the Detroit- owned colt finished fourth in the California Derby April 22. But when Barbs Delight won the Derby Trial he let friends know he would like very much to ride Barbs Delight in Saturday’s {125,000-added race.
