Thundèr Sedred Colt Into Winn:ngl One thing that makes the Eng- lish Derby so populaýr is that, aloialways it produces ïa elosýely-run1 race in which ox- citemont is kept alive u4ntil the rT-cnners roach tho post. Thie vast mPlajoritY of the "renew'ai1s o! eho D6$rby Stakes" are wvon by « leiiÊ,h or less, wicindiate ho'w -1ose is the standard o! the leafdiig cl4assie colts ea1ch ya 0' course, thoe are exce ptions -1; 1>e Hard Rýiddeni's wi a year atand in a yoar- when thiere is it )ariulFrly ouitstan)ding itorse $ich is made a hot favounito e;is defoat is a sensation in itself, ,o mattor how small the miargin. I that respect alone the Derby «! 1904 %vas sonisational enough, 'or it brought abouit the com-. plote oclipso of the favourite, a F'rench horse uam-ed Gouver-. n.ant, whichi finishied last but 'One in a field of eight. But that is only pa-rt -of tll< âàtory. The. winrier, by the very ~omforable argin of three lengths, was a 5-1 shot caiiled St. Amant. N-rothing particulariy sensationial in that, you might think, partieulariy as St. Amant, Startîng as f a vouEi t e, had U"walk-ed away" with the 2,000 Guiineas by four iengths. But what does make this one ef the strangest o! ail Derby ttories is that St. Amrant, for al bis a1ility, probabiy owed his victory to a thunderstormn. A resounding dmap o! thunder just As the. race was starting so scaired 1dmr that h. leaped out ahead of the field and was neyer caughit! From the weather point of vïiew7, it waa certainly one of the wiorst Derby dtays on record. It wvalseS wet that Queon Alexan-. dra, who had announced lier i- tention o! being present, decided to s5tay in London qfter ail, and gt,ady raini that had persisted ail thc morning developed into a downipour o! almnost tropical in- genslty as thie runners began ta parade. on. crîtife noted that e.Amant looked as cool as a eUelambar - an Oddiy signifi- *anrt remnark ile iw of what y.e fto haPpen a kfew minuites letor.

St. Amiant, brav- fing tii. rainstili iooked uncon- eterned as thie runners made their way to the. start. It vwms now thatthe dramna of the Derby began. Rumbies o! tlunldor were heard in the. dis- tance, and St. Arnant's demeani- ouMr ehmnged immediately. Ai- thougbho had dnawn No. 3, h-lt Jockey, Kemlpton Cannon, was jgiven permission ta move over te the. outside. Tusi, was not so rmuch a con- eÇOssio11 t the Guineas winner as a mneasure o! safety for some o! the. other horses, notably John O'Gmunt, St. Amanitýnoighiboun. Because o!hils restiveness the stant, whîch had promiseçi to b. on tinte, was deiayed, and al thie whilc, witl the. thunder get- tîng înoaren, St, Amant wvas get- ting more fidgety. At iast there cmne :a brie! mo- mrent Mien thie horses wereai lo-vel and facing the samne way. 'rhe starter acted quickiy.

With St. Amant, however, the effeet was reversed. Had thait peal corne a second carlier h. mlght have jumped into the. tapes and become dangerousIy elnmeshed. As it was, he saw the ope-n coi;rse In front of hlmn, and ieaped away as thoughi stunig by a many-talled whip. In ne time h. wae clear (if th* field, and the. gap steadily wld- ened. For q time it ieemed thut Coxsainthe.1001 outsideir, ,would bhiu n;gearest ehalleniger, but wiith a mile to go St. Ara- ,nt's lead waa two Iengths, with Laeashire,,another outtider, and John O'Gaunt nexti inthe fed More thunder, 110w accom- pani2d by vlvld flashes of light- ning, helped to give St. Amant any incentive h e eded to get away from hbis rivaie, and comi- iing up to Tattenham Corner het was already thre, lengthsa ahead and the raceý wau obviou6ly over, Ail real excitement lhad now vanished. but although only a few people were aware of it, another Derby Day drama waRs belng played out fartiier along the course. A policeman had been keeping an eye on a book- maker who hand been üfferin19 ýar more &ttractive prices than his rîvais. He turned awg.y to watch the race, gnd when h. looked back the bookie and his clerk were a couple of hundred yards away and running fast. The constable immiediately be- gan theý chase and, with th,- crowd taking up the cry of "Welshier," scores joined i h hunt. The clerk was caugh when hie stum-bled, and when he faceed the miagistrates next day was sent to jail for a m-onth. But the welsiniig book-make!,Pr, like St. Amranit, was neyer eau-ghit. Whîle afl thîs was going on, iCannon, St. Amant's jockey, wa- having an easy ride homie, h'is chief task being to prevent his mount boiting when the thunderk rolled and the liightning fiashedi. H-e was content to mnaintain his three-lengthis lead over John o' 4GRunt, who'in turn finishied six liitlths iii front of St.* Denis. Ironically, the storni'passecl as quickly as it had brokeni. There was a last roil, as though to give encouragement, as St. Amnat noerd the piost. Thoen, mi----- lously, the rain ceased, and. by the time the horses retur ned to thi paddock thp Fun was shining. St, Ant"s eusy victory tira one of the Yrare occasions on which the winhg jockey hias not hiad to Use his whip. It "'as, in fact, oniy the second time a Derby colt had led frein start to finiszh. And it is a not-very-lorig- Odds bot that itwa the first timef thunder and lightning had aýcted1 as a spur to9 the winner.
