BACKING THE DEBBY WINNER.
Mr. Jack Clayton, the Newmarket racehorse owner and London business man, of whom stories of phenomenal betting luck have been told since he backed April the Fifth, the winner of the Derby, is embarrassed by what he terms “the wholly false idea” of his fortunes. It was said that he won more than £50,000 on the Derby. Actually,” Mr. Clayton stated, “I had only a moderate amount on April the Fifth, and ever since the absurd rumours of my winnings I have been pestered by people who imagine that I have all sorts of inside knowledge. It was the same at last year's Derby, when I had quite a small win. I am tired of the stories of my luck, especially when I am referred to as a professional backer.”
