INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. P) -
By the time you read this, of
ylloyd Ruby will have seen his
12th sun come up at the Ind-
ianapolis Motor Speedway. I
say the sun come up because,
as you know, it never rains in
Indianapolis.
Race time is 11 a.m. and I'm
as ready as I'll ever be for the
,start. As a matter of fact, when
you've been driving race cars
25 years as I have, race day
always is just another day in
your life. Except when you're
driving the Indy 500.
There's something about the
place that gets next to you.
n spite of the fact that you
pend practically the w h o l e
month of May here, and in spite
of the fact you know the grounds
and the old race course like
you do the back of your hand.
uan ;zs,uu iasu year. un-
derstand the ante goes up to al-
most $300,000 this year. Boy,
you can buy quite a few Texas
calves with that kind of money.
I have been asked who I think
will win the race this year.
Well, I count myself in on this
one just as much as I do any-
body else. I'm going to run flat
out every foot of the way, and
if the old Mongoose holds to-
gether we ought to be out there
in front at the end.
Now I have had bad luck at
Indy in the past, in spite of the
fact that I have led four out of
the last five races. I have had to
come back from far back in
the pack several times to lead,
from 27th position last year, for
instance.
So, I know I can stay near the
front as far as driving ability
is concerned. And I have as
much confidence in our cars

Arias said yesterday that Ca-
nonero II has a skin rash but
that the Kentucky Derby and
Preakness winner does not have
a blood disorder.
Dr. William O. Reed, the
veterinarian attending the colt
since he arrived from Balti-
more, joined Arias in denying
published reports that Canon-
ero II has a blood infection.
"The horse has no blood dis-
order," said Reed. "He d o e s
have a skin rash."
However, there was an in-
dication that the colt, who will
try for the Triple Crown in the
Belmont Stakes, has problems
other than a skin rash.
