RACING IN ENGLAND

TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS AGA KHAN FIRST AND SECOND BAHRAM'S UNBEATEN CAREER LONDON, May 1 Tli.e Two Thousand Guineas, the first classic of the English racing season, was run at Newmarket to-day, when the Aga Khan gained first and second places with his colts Bahrain-and Theft. Bahrain ha.s never been beaten and turf writers expect him to win the Derby, to be run on June 5. llosult: — TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES, Of £IOO each, with 2000gns. added; three-year-old colts and fillies, colts 9.0, fillies 8.9; 1 mile. BAH HAM, Aga Khan's b c, by Blandford—Friar's Daughter, 9.0 1 THEFT, Aga Khan's be, by Tetratema —Voleuse, 9.0 2 SEA BEQUEST, C. W. Gordon's be, by Legatee—Ocean Light, 9.0 3 Sixteen started. Length and a-half; two lengths. The result of the Two Thousand Guineas is an auspicious start o£ the season for the Aga Khan. Last year, when he headed the list of winning owners with ■£<H,B97, none of the classic events was won by a bearer of his colours, which mado it the more remarkable that he was credited with so large a total. Bahrain won £11,758 and Theft £OB3I. Bahrain was successful in all the live races he contested and the only time Theft was defeated in a similar number of starts was when Bahrain heat him by a neck in the National Breeders' Stakes at Sandown. This was Bahrain's first race and he started ut un outside price, whereas Theft was second favourite. Bahrain later won the Rous Memorial at Goodwood, the Gimerack Stakes at York and the Buscawen Stakes and Middle Park Stake 3 at Newmarket. Bahrain is a half-brother to Dastur, who won seven races and £11,623, and three other winners. Hi 3 dam. Friar's Daughter, is by Friar Marcup from Garron Lass, by Roseland from Concertina, by St. Simon Whet) a yearling in 1922 Friar's Daughter was bought by the Agft Khan for 250 guineas. This purchase was a surprising departure from His Highness' custom at that time, for he was then disbursing guineas by the thousand to acquire yearlings likely to add lustre to his colours. She has turned out a very valuable possession. Bigger than Dastur, although not quite bo good looking, Bahrain is well proportioned. He is seen at his best when in action. If ho is racing in front he is inclined to be lazy, so his jockey has to be wary. This is a trait that has been associated with many good horses. Islingluss for one. F. Fox says he has seldom ridden a lazier | colt than Bahrain. I
