SIXTY-NINE HORSES HOME RUGBY DURING PROFESSIONALISM &
FEATURES OF SECOND ACCEPTANCE:
By HOTSPUR.
London, April 1. Sixty-nine horses remain in the Derby. They are the Sur vivors of the forfeit stage which was reached early this week, Originally there was an entry on November 4, 1930, of 342. The cost to enter was 45. In July of last year, 143 of the nominations Were withdrawn. The liability undel at £5 for each horse. For those which have now disappeared liability of another £25 has been incurred.
is
There is a further forfeit stage which is reached on the Tuesday in the week before the race and for any left in after timt the cost will be £100. One of the sixty- nine is Lord Astor's Mamamead, which suggests that there still some hope of getting him to the post. It must be a very faint hope, as the colt has been doing no work, and there is no immediate prospect of a resump. tion.
