AGA KHAN'S RUN OF

TURF SUCCESSES OWNER WHO DOMINATES CLASSIC RACES

BUT HAS NEVER WON 1,000 GNS.

London, May 29. IN the last 13 years the Aga Khan has won the Derby three times, the Two Thousand Guineas twice, the St. Leger three times and the Oaks once. He has never won the only other classic race, the One Thousand Guineas, but Taj Mah, one of his breeding that he sold as a yearling, did so.

This is an astonishing record and has never been excelled in such a short space of time by an owner who began without a stud of his own and had to depend for several years on horses bought at public auction. To what can these dazzling successes be attributed? Luck? Partly, perhaps, because the element of luck does play an important part in racing!

But other owners have begun racing by spending as much on of the success. Judgment?

Far more, perhaps, then luck, for anyone can go to Doncaster or Newmarket and pay the highest prices for yearlings without finding a good one in every five, or even ten.

The Aga Khan raced in India!
