AN EACH WAY BET FOR THE DERBY

Windsor Lad Best At Present

(Special Air Mall Service)

"London, "May 15. Three weeks from to-day I shall have to give my final for the Derby, #rites a correspondent. I hope sincerely that It will be the same then as it would be to-day. My Idea at present is that Wind- sar Lad each way is decidedly the best bet in the race. Umidwar's stock bas fluctuated since the Guineas. If Frank Butters can send him to the post it and fancied, then I shall have to have iwo bets in the race instead of one. No racing article, would be con- sidered complete at the moment without some reference so Colom-, ba. I have nothing new to say about him. It is very unlikely that

By the way, I was delighted that Heyasins won, not only for my friend Mr. Meyrick Good, but for her part owner, Mr. Turner, who is a much respected and influen- tial man in the wine trade, and the type of owner who I should like to see with more horses...

Never Safa

It is never safe to lay down the law about anything in racing. This is particularly true of breed- Ing. Filles that cannot go fast enough to keep themselves warm have, when they go to the stud, bred really useful horses,

Gordon Richards though, rode her a fortnight afterwards and secured his one hundred and fiftieth winner of the season on her after a particularly fine ex- hibition of jockeyship."

After the race she was bought by the present senior steward of the Jockey Club, Mr. G. D. Smith, who, quite correctly, did not ask “if the The guvnor wanted her back." gåvnor didn't want her back.

I should like Colombo to have that man's temperament, but a well- known owner who has played a big part on the Turf since before I was born told me last week that in the whole of his long experienec he has never seen a horse give such a mad exhibition as Colombo did in the paddock before the Guiness. That makes me wonder what he will do at Epsom.

Strange things upset horses. and some of the gamest horses in the world have peculiarities which make one think that they are mad when they are suffering from them.

The Plank Rattled

I then remembered that one day when I was riding her during the winter I had to ride her across a bridge which had a wooden plank on it, which one couldn't see, as It was covered with bay.

The plank rattled, and on that occasion she became quite "mad She got into such a state whenever I went within twenty yards of that bridge afterwards that I don't ¡believe any one could have ever go
