Never Say Die Runs -Lester Piggott Suspended For Rest Of Royal Ascot
Ascot, June 17.
Never Say Die and Arabian Night, first and second in the year's Epsom Derby, were both beaten out of place in a dramatic race for the King Edward VII Stakes, run over 12 furlongs, at the Royal meeting which was continued here to- day.
Arabian Night, made 18 to eight favourite, seemed likely to win until he suddenly collided with the rails inside the last furlong.

You are a professional footballer. You are "employed" by the Football Association to play for England. A great honour. Your con- fidence is high and out you go to do battle.
