1 FOREIGN TURF NOTES and s Windsor Lad, the Epsom Derby winner of last year, according to a competent turf critic is the most improved horse he can remember from three to four years. He has muscled up in a most extraordinary way, has increased in girth, widened out in front, and has tremendous quarters. Windsor Lad won the Burwell Stakes in his 1935 debut in a fashion to suggest that he may dominate the older division of horses in Eng- land this year. William Woodward, chairman of the New York Jockey Club and owner of Omaha, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preak-ness, had his colors carried to victory on the English turf in the Newmarket Handicap on May 14 by Bondsman, a son of Sir Gal-lahad III. Bonnie Maginn. The Irish Two Thousand Guineas was run at The Curragh on May 15, and there was a surprising result when Museum, the winner, and Parisian, the runner-up, started at the odds of 100 to 1. Chirgwin finished third. All three placed horses were saddled by trainer J. T. Rogers. Solarium, the odds-on favorite, was unlucky in the running and finished sixth. Drinmore Lad, after three years in the United States, has been returned to England and Paul Mellon, his owner, has entrusted him to trainer Ivor Anthony with next years Grand National as his objective. The Aga Khans Hairan is among the English-trained acceptances for the Grand Prix de Paris, to be run on June 30. The American-bred filly Old Melody carried J. H. Whitneys silks into second place in the Bedford Two-Year-Old Stakes at Newmarket May 16. Old Melody is a bay filly by Sir Gallahad in. Oh Susanna.
