Epsom, May 30.
The countless thousands that are going to watch Britain's most glamorous horse race, the Dorby, being run here tomorrow afternoon were today looking joyously at the blue skies and brilliant sun.
Owners, trainers, jockeys and punters were far less jubilant, for most of them are hoping for a good downpour to give their runners a better chance of winning the first prize of
nearly £35,000.

FINAL CALLOVER ON THE DERBY
Londen, May 30. Tomorrow's Derby Is the most open race for years and the general uncertainty was refleet- ed at the final Vieira Club call- byer tonight when business was negligible and only money of note was for French colts Mou- Hiers, Diuta Drake and English outsider Perfect Knight who were each backed to win £3,000. The only significant move was the installation of Just Great as second favourite at 9 to 1, from 10 to 1, due largely to the easy win today of his stable companion, Apostle, who had been used as a paccamker for Just Greats big race pre- parations. Prices were:
