And the likely favorite, subject
to many things that can happen
between now and late afternoon on
Saturday, appeared to be Carnmet

Immediate attention is centered
on Tuesday's *10.000 Derby trial at
the Downs, the very last of the
big pre-Derby tests. Only about
half of the Derby possibilities now
stabled at the track are expected
to go postward in this event, a
