London, June 4.-Showers and fair periods are forecast for tomorrow's Derby, the race of the year, for which one of the largest flelds in the long history of this great Classic will fight for victory.
It will be the largest field for the race for 86 years, and only one short of a record. Rain has fallen every day at Epsom this week, and the going has now become, quito soft, giving outsiders a fine chance of beating the better backed ́oandidates. The race, which at one time looked like becoming a two-horno duel between the Gaekwar of Baroda's My Baby and Colonel Giles Loder's The Cobbler, has turned into one of the most open
races over.

UNLUCKY COURSE?
Followers of The Cobbler are not too happy tonight for his jockey, Gordon Richards, has not yet ridden a winner in the three days of the Epsom meeting. Epsom has never been his lucky course (he has yet to win the Derby) and it seems as it he is dead out of luck
