Lord Woolavingtan's new pur- chase, the Two Thousand Guineas second, Easton, was transferred on Saturday to the care of Fred Dar- ling at Beckhampton. The colt will, of course, be trained for the Derby. In the Beckhampton stable there are now three Derby candidates of some note-Medieval Knight and Lo Zingaro, owned by Mr. J. A. Dewar, and Easton. In the circumstances it may not be known for some time which of the three will be ridden by the stable jockey...
