RACING JN ENGLAND THE DERBY FAVOURITE. • (Rec. May 14, 5.5 p.m.) London, May 13. Ante-post betting in Fpigland is becoming less and less popular, clubs firn. ing it difficult to create a'live market. Kor the Derbv, to be run on May 31, lists of quotations aro published daily in tho newspapers, which frequently describe them as sham bdtting. and almost daily allusions are made, to the farce of bookmakers .determining prices while the public looks on. St. Louis’s easy victory in the Two Thousand Guineas has mlado him 'an automatic favourite. He is a grand colt, trained by Gilpin, but the position is clouded bv the fact that Gilpin has Reecho ip different ownershin, recalling the problem of the 1920 Derby, when the same trainer had Spion Kon and Sarchedon, and the long-nriced candidate won comfortably. Gilpiv delights in mystifying the public, and Reecho nnd St. Louis will not bo tried together until they meet in the Derby. Pondoland’s easy win over a moderate field in tho Newmarket Stakes did nothing more than strengthen St. Louis’s position; but the bookmakers clipned -a couple of points from Pondoland’s price, shortening other quotations in sympathy.—Aus.-N.Z.
