"HE CAN STAY."
Newmarket, May 14. Colorado, the favourite for the Derby, is giving complete satin- taction in his preparation.
In his latest gallop with Mande lieu and Palma Bay he showed the same dash he displayed when he won the Two Thousand Guiness, and there appears to be little doubt that he can stay the twelve furlongs at Epsom as well as he did the mille at Newmarket,
"Mystery" Race,
London, May 12. This your's race will be known: ma the Mystery" Derby, because the doings of the horses due to com- pete" are absolutely shrouded in mystery. Not a word from the training stables sheltering the can- didates has reached the. Metropolis for a week.
The general public is unaware of the state of the betting or as to who is left in the race.
Thousands of sweepstakes all over the country, some of colossal proportions, are involved, and if the race is abandoned owing to the strike, tremendous inconvenience will be caused.
Meanwhile the trainers cannot afford to interrupt training. So the usual strings are exercised daily.
The trainers will suffer little financial loss owing to contracts with their patrons, but thousands of men attached to the industry are hard hit by the abandonment of racing.
|
Certain jockeys under contract are receiving a living remuneration, but, outside the favoured few, the majority of the men making a living. from the Turf are worse off than any striker because, there is no Sa ciety to look after their interests.
