AN OVERLOOKED HIGH-CLASS WINNER. Bachelors Doubles Great Jubilee Handicap — Epsom Derby Betting — King Georges First Winner. I.ondHi. Eng.. May 22. — The unccrlainlies of raring and the going astray of expert judgment in the Bitter of racing probabilities, was signally illustrated In tin- i-.sf of the 815,000 Kemptoa Park Great Jubilee Handicap. Largely because J. B. Joels Baastar had won the Two Thousand and other horses had also added t. the Stables laurels, it was amcaed that his big Sundridge . Horse, The Story, was the predestined winner of the richest handicap «.t the spring campaign. There was no very g.xnl reason baaed on racing for this pref rence, bat re-gardleni of reason be was always a raging favorite in the heavv ante-post betting and anally wenl to the m at the short price of - to 1.

Bachelors Doubles share of the spoils of the race amounted to the captivating sum of 613,250. With the decision of the Derby but little more than I week away, public conviction that Sunstar is to prove the winner remaiiis ■nsbaken and when ever a shade better than even money is offered against his chances, it does not wait long for an acceptance. It is now known positively that. F.dnioiid Blancs pan. Lord Burgoyne and Bhetb.nd are to remain in nance, so the considerable sums wagered os them some time back are already lost.

Any Ides that Sunstar might not stay the Derby rout, was swept away when be won the Newmarket Stakes at ■ mile and a Quarter in convincing fashion, so. altogether it now stems that in Sunstar I. B.

James K. Keene hits made no great showing in oc.r lacing of recent years, but he now has a band of two year -olds in charge of trainer J. Butters at Newmarket that, unless rumor is wrong, are bound to cause a stir. One of these, a remarkably good looking coll named Franc. mi. by Hippodrome Bel u-ravia. was Introduced to racing in the Hopeful Stakes at Doncaster last Thursday and made a great impression by the easy fashion in which be led from start to liiiish from ten opponents. For all anyone knows to the contrary, he may be the best two-year old that has yet appeared in public and his luturt lacing will be awaited witu interest. He is well engaged In stakes for two year olds and is In the St. lager and Grand Prix de Paris of next year, but was not nominated to the Two Thousand and Derby. An event that caused great rejoicing orenrrod at Doncaster May 10 when King Georges colt Pinta-deau won the Fitzwilliam Stakes. It was the first ■access of his stable on the turf and was greeted With great cheering. The king was not present, but many telegrams of congratulation promptly informed him of his colts victory. The race was of no great importance, but British turfmen are profoundly appreciative of the great value of King Georges decision to follow the example of his father in patronizing racing and any portion of success falling to his stable is viewed with delight. Piutadeau is a good looking chestnut colt by Florizel II. — Guinea Hen and may be capable of doing better things as he gains in muscle and strength. The death occurred at Newmarket yesterday afternoon of Galeottia. a valuable broodmare belonging to Mr. faille. She fell dead In the stud paddocks, having ruptured a blood vessel internally. Galeottia had a pretty successful career on the turf, and in I8N won the One Thousand Guineas for Mr. Fairic. with F. Pratt, the present Wantage trainer, riding. She was the dam of Cyllius. one of the Manton Derby candidates, and Highness. By his victory for the second time in the valuable Konigs Prize at Buda Pesth recently, Count L. Tclekis four-year old. Rascal, established a new record, the son of Baeburn and Kikelet being the only horse that has won the race in question at both three and four years of age. As a general rule three-year-olds win that event. Ganache and Horkay being the ouly other older horses that have done so since it was first established. Q. Janek, the rider of Kaseal. was. says the Allgemaine Sport Zeitung 1 Vienna, subsequently called before the stewards, who withdrew his license on the ground of reckless riding during the race. W. Knapp. who came over from the United States to ride for Baron S. A. Oppcnheim in France, won his first race at Hoppcgarteu when riding Royal Flower, by Florizel II., out of Royal Maze, for his stable. The king has presented a cup to lio run for at the Phoenix Park Club meeting on July M, at which their majesties will be present. It will l e for horse-bred and trained in Ireland, and owned by residents of that country. M. Pfizer, the Franco-American sportsman, has signed an agreement for W. OConnor to ride across country for him dating three years. The Emperor of Germany has signified his intention of visiting the headquarters of the German Steeplechase Society at Karlshorst at the end of the month, when the Military Steeplechase will be decided. He visits Karlshorst for the first time, and will distribute the. awards personally. A slight sensation was caused at the Hoppegarten meeting by the American jockey, E. Shaw, who wore fastened to his jacket a pair of large spectacles, such as those worn by motor car drivers, which would, no doubt, have heen found useful had the ground l een heavy and muddy. The Jockey Club, through Lord Lonsdale, has written to the Aero Club drawing attention to the disturbing effect on the horses caused by aviators flying over race courses during the race meetings, and asking the club to appeal to all aviators to refrain from making such flights. In the interests of aviation the committee of the Royal Aero Club accordingly appeals to the snorting instincts of all aviators to Support litis very proper and reasonable request, which has the committees full approbation. J. B. Joel is far in advance of all other winning owners of this year and already has such an advantage that it will be quite difficult to overhaul him, especially if the Derby falls to his stable.
