NEWMARKEI‘. England. June l _ (AP) — The Derby. known this year as the “Victory Derby al- mough 1g will be run in its war-

rlchest race since Blue Peter won the same event in 1930 at Epsom Downs.

Twenty-nine colts have been entered in the English turf's an- nual blue ribbcn event following easing bi transportation curbs by the Ministry of War ‘Pranslwfl after the defeat of Germany.

Bookmakers report that the pub- lic is making the race the occasion for real plunging and that bets of £125 (about $550) and upward-as well as the customary l0 shilling transactions-are pouring into their offices daily. One of the book- makers reported today he already had handled £100,000 on the race.

1.0m 's Xidas. which won the Newmarket Stakes last week. is one of the stronger fav- orites. The price on this colt has been forced down to 7 to 1.

The King's Rising Light also is attracting mimy bets and his price has been shortened froml 100 to 26 to 1.

High Peak. owned jointly by Lady Derby and Lady Irwin; Chamossaire. property of Sqdn. Ldr. Sidney Joel. and Dorothy Piaget's Sun Storm are others drawing early attention.

Owner Lord Astor has issued ublic warning his Court Martial

a doubtful starter because of the 1 I-Z-mlle distance.

Gordon Richards, England's vet- eran jockey who never has won the Derby. has his choice this year of riding either Manuchehr or Fordiham, both owned by the Aga Khan. -Twice before Rich- ards has had a. choice in the Derby and each time the horse he rejected triumphed.

This year's winner will receive 831358-5739} more than Lord Blosebery received for Ocean Swell's triumph a year ago.

The Derby was brought to Newmarket, 90 miles from Lon- don. at the start of the war. It is hoped that it will be returned to Epsom Downs. 10 miles from here. next reason.
