FAILED TO STAY

MR. JINKS BEATEN LORD DERBY’S SUCCESS (United P.A. — By Telegraph — Copyright) LONDON. Wednesday. At the Newmarket second spring | meeting, the three-year-old classic re- | suited as follows: NEWMARKET STAKES ! a sweepstakes of £3O each, with ~l.°o r > i added, colts, 9.0: fillies and geldings, ; 8.11: 1$ miles. HUNTER'S MOON (Lord Derby), b ‘ c, by Hurrv On —Selene 1 i MR. JINKS (Major McCalmont), rn c, bv Tetratema—False Piety .. MIDLOTHIAN (Lord Rosebery), hr c. bv Son-in-Lav —Lammermuir . 3 Seven started. The placed horses were separated by short heads only. The failure of the Two Thousand Guineas winner, Mr. Jinks, over a mile and a-quarter, bears out the opinion that he will not see out the mile and a-half of the Epsom Derby on June 5. All the three placed horses yesterday are engaged in the Derby. Hunter’s Moon started only twice as a two-year-old, finishing third to Le

Voleur and Engleberg in the valuable Prince of Wales Stakes at Goodwood last August, and being out of a place in the famous Gimcrack Stakes, the placed horses being The Black Abbot, Roigrey and Karabagli. Apparently Hunter’s Moon inherits the stamina from his sire. Hurry On (who is also the sire of Hunting Song). Hunter’s Moon is a half-brother no that good horse. Sickle (by Phalaris), winner of the Prince of Wales Stakes and third to Adam’s Apple and Call Boy in the Two Thousand Guineas. Fairway won the Newmarket Stakes last year, was a hot favourite foi' the Derby, but failed badly. Will Hunter’s Moon do better for Lord Derby, who won the world’s greatest classic { five years ago with Sansovino? ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENTS
