NO OUTSTANDING COLT

There have been many "mystery horses" in previous Derbies, but never, has there been such a mystery Derby as this year's race—to be run at EpsAm on May 31—comments one English critic m an article recently cabled to Australia. There is no outstanding entry, and recent races have only increased the puzzle, because of the lack of stayers. It is anticipated that ono of .Lord Derby's winners at Chester, Hyperion, and Highlander, who won over the Derby distance, will have a good chance. Young Lover recently carried 10.5 to victory in a field comprising mostly noni stayers, in whioh the Aga Khan's Fehcita'tion started favourite and ran _fourtli. He subsequently was successful m the Newmarket Stakes, VA miles, which lb usually looked on as piovidmg a useful line to the Dei by. The AgJ. Khan's Gino and Lord Woolavington's Manitoba aie suspected non-btajeis. Sir H. Cunhfle Owen's King Salmon hat. been most consistent lccently, ha\ins nut two good seconds in the iwo Thousand Guineas (to Rodosto) and m the Keumaiket Stakes. 4t time of wntnig Rodosto wjs joint favourite with Hypeiion. Puor to his. success in the Two Thousand Eodosto had ■non the Piemier Pax Citioen at Longchamps, jn good style at his fust idco for the season, and it was this, victoiy that decided his o^nei, the Princesse de Faucigny-Liicingc, who puichased him as a jeaihng from the Nonanl-le-Piii btud for £3314, to s=end him o\rr to England to contest the Two Thousand at Newmarket ten days latei. Eodosto letuined to Fiance aftei his succebs, and it iub to be decided after Ins showing in the Ficnch Two Thousand last week whothei he hhould also urn in the Epsom Deiby, his only other clabsic engagement m England. Whereas Oiwcll a foitnight or so befoie the lace la&t year was an outstanding favourite, there was at the conespondms date this jear no singlc-figtue bettins.
