Hopes For A Royal Derby Victory
London, May 10.
With the epoch Derby less than a month away, hopes of a Royal victory aro grow- ing.
The Queen's Hyperlon coli, Aureole put up such a promising. display in the 2,000 Guineas, though inshlag only Afth, that much knowledgeable money has been added to the widespread and patriotic hopes invested in him to win the great clasile on June 0.

Epsom roce after his easy victory in the 2,000 Guineas, and he seems reasonably certain to de reat again all those who-nished- behind him at Newmarket-ex- copling Aureole.

It was a very creditable dis

by a colt having his first outing of
ing of the season, whose pre- tensions had always been more to the Derby's 12 furlongs than to the Newmarket mile, and in whom there appears to be scope for considerable improvement before Darby day.
On the Newmarket running Aureolo has much to make up with Nearula, but there is some doubt about the latter's ability to get the Derby distance.
Aureolo should not be found wanting on that score.
Cecil Captain
Boyd-Roch- fort, the Queen's trainer, holds a atrong hand in the race, for la addition to Aureole, he has a well-fancied candidate in Bri- gadler W. P. Wyatt's Fremont- tion.
This precipitation colt had run and won three races' before he camo out to be beaten in a four horne-race at Sandown Park this week.
This was a shock for his Der- by supporters, but the ruce was so slowly run that it might well
be ignored as a true trial.

Charlie Smirke, has accepted the offer of Bandoola as his Derby mount.
AMERICAN CHANCES There is a good chance that American sliks will be carried to victory for the first time since Fred Archer spurred Iroquois home in the dimly dis- tant days of 1881.

Good Brandy failed by neck to beat Lord Hilford's Empire Honey, but he did not seem to be as it as his rival.
The handsome Son of Rocke- feller might make it a differeni atory on Derby day.
As a result of the unaccoun- tably poor showing of Tosco, the solo representative from France In the 2,000 Guineas, the French challenge for this year's "Blue Riband" seems to have been ac- cepted as negligible, but this may be
wrong assumption. Tosco was probably taken off his feel" in the early stages of the first classic by the great speed of the many short runners.
He is unlikely to meet some
conditions in the Derby, where the first two furlongs are uphill...
