LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Darby
Dan Farm’s Sanhedrin is not given
much chance of winning Saturday’s
Kentucky Derby, but neither were
Chateaugay nor Proud Clarion.
Both won running in the colors of
Pittsburgh Pirates’ owner John Gal-
breath, and he never hesitated
about sending Sanhedrin against
Seattle Slew once more after a
second-place finish in the Wood
Memorial at Aqueduct.
Ten lengths behind Seattle Slew
and in last place with three-eights of

Asked how long it took toderi

114-mile Kentucky Derby, trail
Lou Rondinello said, “About

course we re going.”’
