NOT SURPRISED AT ALL.
Whoever else was surprised at the result, the Aga Khan was not There was a rush to the saddling enclosure to congratulate him on his success, and in reply he said:
"Firdaussi's success did not surprise me at all. The public ure blind. They won't look at form. They don't realise that Firdaussi ran within a length of Orwell in a previous race. I told everybody to go and back him."
Orwell, the defeated Derby fa- vourite, started favourite, but: neither he nor the Derby winner. April the Fifth, ever looked like winning.
The value of the race Was over £10,000,- and the Aga Khan's winnings en the turf this season now amount to over £40,000. No other owner has won half as much.

HIS OWN MANAGER. "Before the race I happened to be chatting with the Aga Khan about what was likely to happen. He mentioned that his trainer, Frank: Butters, favoured Dastur. agreed that his filly might easily prove the best, but was sure Fir daussi would take a lot of beating. Indeed, he had been so sure of this -basing his ideas on what the colt had done and his breeding from a fine staying mare; that won the Oaks that he specially directed he was to run in addition to Dastur and the fly.
The winner had scarcely passed the post when the de lighted owner turned to me and exclaimed, "That comes of man- aging my own horses.". Ob- viously the detail of the bat- ting, all-important as it was to the world generally, did not worry him. He had won the St. Leger for the second time, and this time with à colt of his own breeding. For the third time in a three classic races for colts luckless Dastur
