nearly £35,000.

FINAL CALLOVER ON THE DERBY

Londen, May 30. Tomorrow's Derby Is the most open race for years and the general uncertainty was refleet- ed at the final Vieira Club call- byer tonight when business was negligible and only money of note was for French colts Mou- Hiers, Diuta Drake and English outsider Perfect Knight who were each backed to win £3,000. The only significant move was the installation of Just Great as second favourite at 9 to 1, from 10 to 1, due largely to the easy win today of his stable companion, Apostle, who had been used as a paccamker for Just Greats big race pre- parations. Prices were:
