p FILLY WINS ITALIAN DERBY Fredico Tesios great three-year-old filly, Jacopa del Sellaio, recently added the Royal Italian Derby to her many other victories this season, which included the Regina Elena Prize equivalent of the English One Thousand Guineas, Parioli Prize equivalent of the Two Thousand Guineas and the Italian Oaks, thus accounting for the four classics. This good filly is a daughter of the defunct English Derby winner Coronach which died early this year in Italy, where he stood for five years. She is out of Vice Versa, an English-bred mare that Fredico Tesio paid 5,000 for at the 1919 Newmarket December sales. Vice Versa was sent up for sale by the Beechampton trainer Fred Darling at the end of her three-year-old season. She was a daughter of Cylgad, from Taslett a mare that finished second to Jeot in the 1913 One Thousand Guineas, by William the Third. Jacopa del Sellaio won four races last season and her success in the Derby was the twelfth for Tesio in that coveted classic in the last twenty years.
