LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) —
Trainer Jack Van Berg’s arrange
ments to take Kentucky Derby win
ner Alysheba to the Preakness on
May 16 in Baltimore were made
even before the Derby was run.
“I think I wasn’t cocky,” Van Berg
said Sunday.
Confident is what the 50-year-old
trainer was in the days leading up to
the 113th Derby.
And the son of Alydar, who had
won only a maiden race in 10 pre
vious starts, proved worthy of that
confidence in Saturday’s Derby with
a courageous stretch run.
Alysheba’s three-quarter length
victory over Bet Twice was the small
est winning margin since Pleasant
Colony won by the same margin in
1981.
The winning time of 2:03 2-5 for
the 1 ’A miles also made it the slowest
Derby since Cannonade won in 2:04
in 1974. The Derby record of 1:59 2-
5 was set by Secretariat in 1973.
The track was a fast one, but not
as fast for the Derby as it had been
earlier in the day, said Van Berg,
who keeps a string of horses at
Churchill Downs.
“I know this track like the back of
my hand,” he said.
Van Berg said as the 87-degree
day wore on, a hot wind began dry
ing out the Churchill Downs track.
“This track gets slower when it
gets dry,” Van Berg said. So he told
jockey Chris McCarron to be patient,
that speed would not be as impor
tant.
McCarron moved Alysheba into
contention on the final turn, and the
colt finally got past a tiring Bet
Twice about 70 yards from the fin
ish.
For a fleeting moment it looked as
if Alysheba might become the sec
ond member of the 17-horse field to
falter before the finish line. Pat Day
had already pulled up favorite De
mons Begone, who was bleeding
from both nostrils.
With three-sixteenths of a mile re
maining, Alysheba clipped the heels
of Bet Twice, who also bothered him
twice more during the stretch run.

“lie came close to going down,"
McCarron said. “It was amazing that

going off for a minute."
Van Berg said Alysheba would
leave Friday for the 1 3-16-mile Pre
akness May 16 at Pimlico racetrack.
Bet Twice also is headed for the
Preakness, as well as Templar Hill,
who finished fifth in the Derby. The
trainers of Avies Copy and fourth-
place Cryptoclearance said they
would decide later.

Ellis Isl
UTEP basketball player dies, cause unknown^
EL PASO (AP) — Medical exam
iners were unable to determine the
cause of death of Texas-El Paso bas
ketball star Hernell “Jeep” Jackson
Sunday and will have to wait until
tests on blood, urine and tissue sam
ples are processed.
Jackson, 23, an All-Western Ath
letic Conference player, died Satur
day after playing in a game at Fort
Bliss. He was on a Fort Bliss all-star
team playing a squad composed of
Houston Oilers football players.
Manuel Diaz, chief investigator
for the El Paso County medical ex
aminer’s office, said he and County
Medical Examiner Juan Contin
could find “no visible signs of dam
age to the heart that could be seen
with the naked eye” during a three-
hour autopsy.
Diaz said tissue, blood and urine
samples were taken and will be
tested at the hospital beginning
Monday. Diaz said results of those
tests could take up to a week to be
analyzed.
No specific tests for drugs were
performed Sunday, and Diaz said if
there are “large quantities” of any
substance in the samples, the hospi
tal may be able to determine the
cause of death soon.
But a test that might detect a
“minute trace” would have to be sent
to another laboratory for more
study, he said, adding that there
were no external signs of drug use
and that Jackson appeared to be in
superb physical condition.
Jackson, a native of Carson, Calif.,
had played for about five minutes
when he went to the sidelines.
“He seemed to be as animated as
he usually is at games,” said Lt. Col.
Jim Lawson, a Fort Bliss spokesman.
“I am told he fell to the floor — I
don’t know whether he had been
standing or sitting — got up and ap
parently looked dazed. He then fell
again, and people realized he wasn’t
joshing and that something was se
riously wron^.”
Lawson said Jackson had no his
tory of heart trouble and that “he
was a jock of the first order. He was
in absolutely superb health. I don’t
know anything about whether drugs
were involved.”
Dr. Scot Lewey said that when
Jackson was brought to the emer
gency room at Beaumont Army
Medical Center about 3:20 p.m., he
had no heartbeat and was not
breathing. An emergency room
team attempted to revive his heart,
but Jackson was pronounced dead at
4:09.
The gym was cleared immediately
and the game ended.
UTEP coach Don Haskins said he
was very upset.

Hill tops LPGA record
to take S&H golf title
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) —
Cindy Hill, who took sole possession
of the lead when Jan Stephenson
withdrew because of injuries suf
fered in an automobile accident,
shot a 6-under-par 66 Sunday to win
the LPGA’s $225,000 S&H Classic by
three strokes over Jane Grafter.
Hill finished 72 holes with a 17-
under-par 271 that shattered a tour
nament record of 272 set by Alice
Miller in 1985 and equaled by Pat
Bradley last year.
Grafter, who shot an 8-under-par
64, tied a course record established
by Judy Dickinson in the opening
round of the 1985 S&H. She fin
ished with a four-day total of 274, 14
under par.
Kathy Postlewait, one of four golf
ers who started the day one shot be
hind Hill, shot a 69 to finish at 275,
four strokes behind the winner. Lori
Garbacz was one shot farther back at
276, followed by five players at 11-
under 277.
Myra Blackwelder, playing seven
months pregnant, shot a 74 and fin
ished at eight under par.
Hill, playing for her first tourna
ment in nine weeks, won $33,750.
She said she still doesn’t feel 100
percent after checking into a hospi
tal for what was diagnosed as a pan
creas problem, but winning Sunday
was a big lift.
“I just, don’t believe it,” she said. “I
came here not expecting to play well.
I kept saying it couldn’t continue,
but it did.”
Stephenson and Hill shared the
lead after three rounds. But an auto
mobile accident minutes after Ste
phenson left the Pasadena Yacht &
Country Club Saturday night forced
this year’s fifth-leading money win
ner out of the competition.
Stephenson, who was treated and
released from a local hospital, suf
fered lacerations to her scalp, dislo
cated ribs and a sprained back, offi
cials said.
Her withdrawal left Hill in sole
possession of a one-shot lead over
Postlewait, Blackwelder, Donna Cu-
sano-Wilkins and M J. Smith.
The 39-year-old Hill birdied five
of the first seven holes to open a
comfortable lead and completed the
round on the 6,013-yard Pasadena
course with six birdies and no bo
geys.
The victory for Hill was her first
since the 1984 Rail Charity Classic
and boosted her career earnings to
$340,261.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Paul Az-
inger rammed in an eagle putt on
the final hole and scored a one-
stroke victory Sunday in the rich
est golf tournament on the PGA
Tour, the Las Vegas Invitational.
Azinger’s 20-foot putt, over a
hump on the 18th hole, finished
off an 8-under-par 64 and sent
him leaping into the air, both
hands raised to the sky.
The victory, added to his first
career triumph earlier this season
at Phoenix, enabled Azinger to
join Corey Pavin as the only two-
time winners on the Tour this
jirter, Sei
He put his second shot or^er Sen. G
the fringe, about 12 feet from! The Ass
cup. With Azinger watchingfe|}so will in
the nearby scoring tent, Sul'°Wer con
sent the critical putt dead on If
to the hole.
But inches away, the .ftonm
ducked to the left and mistf
and a broad grin crossed Zingt De
Sutton scored eight birdie'
his round of 67 at the LasVef /Vl3
Country Club, making him ar#
ner-up for the second times
season at 272, 16 shots underf;
season.
This one, secured on a 17-un
der-par total of 271, was worth
$225,000 from the total purse of
$1.3 million and put Azinger in
the money-winning lead for the
year with $442,460.
Just as he did at Phoenix, the
guy called “Zinger” by his fellow
pros won at Hal Sutton’s expense.
Sutton, who missed a short
putt on the final hole that would
have forced a playoff at Phoenix,
played behind Azinger on a
warm, sunny day and came to the
water-guarded, par-5 18th need
ing an eagle to tie.
“I hit the putt as good as h|
hit it. It just didn’t go in. 1
it’s like playing blackjack—son
times you win, sometimes
lose,” said Sutton, whotooksd
consolation from a $135/
check for second place.
Curtis Strange, a former*
ner of this title, also was tied*!
