Although Orwell is still a red hot favourite for to-morrow's racing classic at Epsom many are won- dering whether His Highness the Aga Khan will repeat his success of 1930 with one of his two horses NEW_YORK YANKEE'S -Dastur or Firdaussi.

The Aga Khan has secured the services of two of the beat jockeys the English turf In Steve Donoghue and Beary. Curiously enough Beary, and not Steve, was given the choice of horses after the final preparations and chose Dastur which finished second to Orwell in the Two Thousand Guineas. Steve Donoghue 'was left) with Firdaussl, the only other horse to be entered under the Aga Khan's colours.

Aga Khan's Lone Success.
The only occasion upon which the Aga Khan was successful in the Derby, was as recent ng 1980 when, Blenheim came home at 18 with H. Wragg up from a field of seventeen, the smallest field in the last twenty-two years. This year there is likely to be. twenty-three starters, two than last year's field.

Wragg on Second Favourite. Steve is the only, jockey, to re- cord three consecutive wins in the blue ribarid of the English turf, and Beasley, the Aga Khan's first: choice, has yet to register a Derby win.
Harry Wragg, who is riding Miracle, the second favourité," has two Derby triumphs to his credit. In 1928 he rode Sir H. Cunliffe- Owen'a Felstead to victory to pay 891 and in 1980 he brought home H.H. the Ags 'Khan'a · Blen- heimat 18-1;

Richards is a good enough jockey to receive in- numerable offers. to ride in, the Derby, and before he learned from experience he used to study the form of the horses which were offered as mounts and accept that' which he thought had the best!:
