THE DERBY PROSPECTS
Owners, Trainers Tell Of Hopes
London, May 30.
At the Press Club Derby lon- choon today, owners, trainers and "Jockeys told of their hopes and
fears in the Derby,
Mr. James Rank is hoping that Scottish Union, the second favou- rite, will at least confirm his One- Thousand Guineas form.
J}
Lord Derby, speaking of his horse Faroe, said he hoped that if it does not win it will be placed.
Sir Humphrey de Trafford said, "some writers suggest that Port marnock is a non-staver, but that is not the opinion of my jockey." Lord Dewar thinks that! Troon will make a good run for the money.
Freddie Steve Donoghue and Fox, the famous Jockeys, revealed that they had been approached to come out of their retirement to ride on Wednesday, which is just possible.
Donoghue thinks that what beats Pasch will win and that Troon has an excellent outside chance.
Fox humorously remarked. "Td like to ride Pasch."
Beary says "What beats "Pasch will win."
Mr. Tom Walls is of the opinion that if Parch is beaten, it will be by Portmarnock.--(Reuter).
PROBABLE STARTERS
London, May 31. The following are the probable | starters and Jockeys for the Derby! to be run tomorrow:-
Caveman (Beary), Troon (Bam-) my Wragg), Malabar (Marshall), Mancrite (Maher), Slip On (Wric- kaby), Seventh Wonder (Nevett, Unbreakable (Stephenson), Va lerian (Taylor).
