Says RICHARD BAERLEIN * Acropolis returns to the racecourse in the valuable King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot, a decision which proves that he has suffered no ill effects from his race in the Derby.

He came out best of all the English-trained colts at Epsom and there is still hope and a strong possibility that he will be one of the best colts in Europe by the end of the season.

The acceptors, with revised weights, are: Milltary Court the (mine stone), Chivalry (eight stone 12 lbs), Sunny (eight st. 10), Treetops Hate Stakes, (eight

this is the worst crop of three-year-olds since 1937, when Mid-day Sun won the Derby At present, I rate Phil Drake in a class with him.

The difference is that Mid- day Sun had reached his best by Derby day, while the more backward Phil Drake has plenty of time to make further pro- gres, as this was only his third race. It is too early yet, how- ever, to lose faith in Acropolis.

The contest was the first of its kind to be sponsored by the British Amateur Weightlifting Association. The "Mr Adonis" title was for the man combining the best looks with the best body, and "Mr Body Beautiful” was the man with the best physique.
