NE of the most extraordinary

wins in the long King Derby} was performed by Mr. G. C. C. Mas ter on Red Fish in the 1897 race;

Red Fish, a back belonging in Mr Master, who rode him up and down Magazine ap-Mr. Master used to Live on the Peak-was cantered one day and found to be hopeful as a race pony. His owner, more as joke, catered him for the Derby and rode the piny to an amazing win:

Another outstanding Derby win took place in 1913, when Fijian Chief, belonging to Mr, later Sir) Eliis Kadoorie was ridden by Mr. J. Johnstone, who threw up a fine string.of Jardine's griflins in order to ride this one pony which won the Maidens, the Derby, and the Chari pious.

In the Derby of 1918 Tytam Chief, which was owned by Sir Ellis) Kadooria was entered for the clas- sie and Mr. "Knoll (Mr. Archi David was expected to ride him.

.'

(By "RAPIER")

As the result of Saturday's rac 'ng Herod looks a certainly for the Derby to-day. There was not one grillin that ran on Saturday that ooked as if it could give Herod a run for his money:

The times in the gri raees were, not too bad, but the daiunt) ainishes of the ponies were not very impressive,

It is define, I understand, thai Herod will be ridden by "Ir. W. H. [s, Davis, the local jockey, ds Mr. La thinks the pony will suit the former's short stirrup much better chan his own tong. Fred Archer's, style.

Mr. Davis galloped Herod on Saturday morn.ng and the pony ran considerably better than on Friday morning with Mr. Lit on his back.

Well, here's good luck to Mr. Davis, and I hope he wins. It would incan that for the second year in succession a local jockey has won the Blue Riband of the Turf.

CONTENDER'S TREATMENT

A Derby griffin has to be care- fully fed, vetted ever so often, kept warm at night-time, seen that he has plenty of hay in his rack in. the stall, a nice thick bed of clean straw every night to lie on, in fact he is given more attention than any human being.
