Owner's Luck.

The amazing luck of the winning owner is illustrated by the fact that ho has only been racing, for one

year, having taken over the late Lord Dewar's stable. Moreover, it was only through application of the new rule regarding void nominations- on the death of the owner that made Cameronian oligible for to-day's Thousand race and the Two Guineas, which he also won.

Fred Darling, the trainer, has now won four post-war Derbys, the horses being Cameronian, Captain Cuttle, Mann and Coronach. Tomta Fred Fox, the winning jockey, was last year's champion, thus ho has crowned a great career in win- ning his belated first Derby.
