100000 WAT ITCH
AS BAHRAM
N|NSDERBY
Continued from Page ~

Bahram paid S to 4, Robin
Goodfellow, so to /, and Field
Trial, 9 to /.
Official time for the race-one
mile, 881 yards-was 2:36.
Theft, which had been rated
at 10 to at post time, was
fourth.
Victory Expected
Bahram'S victory was expected.
For weeks he had been the most
favored entry and the elimina-
ton of Lord Derby's Bobsleigh
due to a training injury week
ago sent him to the post the
shortest-priced favorite in years.
For the Aga Khan, the multi
millionaire Indian potentate and
spiritual ruler of millions of Mos
lens, the race fulfilled almost all
his expectations, although he had
two other entries besides Bahram
which were conceded excellent
chances.
These were Harlan and Theft,
but neither finished in the money.
No greater windfall ever de-
Scended upon America than when
Bahram raced across the finish
line after the mile and 881 yards
of the historic classic.

Bahra.1 Takes Lead
The outcome was in doubt up
to a furlong and a half from
home, where Bahram took COM
mand and never relinquiShed the
lead to the finish.
The field of Is got away to an
excellent start with Lord Glane-
ly's Screamer in the lead. Bah
ram was well placed from the tape
and Japetus brought up the rear.
Shortly after the start Pry II
came into the lead with Screamer,
Sea Bequest and Theft following.
Bahram was running steadily in
an unfavorable track position and
JapetuS was still last
Sea Bequest then took the lead
with Field Trial second. The
same order held as the field ap-
preached the top of the hill, but
Bahram, ridden by Jockey Fox,
improved his position gradually.
It was apparent Fox was riding
waiting race.
The only American entry, Mrs.
Corlette Glorney'S Assignation,
never figured among the leaders.
At the sharp turn at Tattenham
Corner, Bahram was still well.
placed with Field Trial slightly in
front followed by First Son.
Passes Field Trial
Bahram, then running easily in
outside position, challenged Field
Trial after Tattenham. Until
that moment, Field Trial had ap-
peared almost the certain win
ner, but Fox urged the favorite
to supreme effort, easily shook
off Robin Goodfellow and won by
two lengths, with half a length
between Robin Goodfellow and
Field Trial.
Highly elated, the Aga Khan
rushed across the track to greet
and lead in Bahram, his second
Derby winner.
Bahram'S victory dealt a ire
mendouS blow to the bookmakers,
for he carried the greater part
of all betting money, but the "old
firms" were saved from extinc.
ton by the short price on the
favorite.
Friends attempted to console
Lord Aston, owner Of Field Trial,
for until a short distance from
the finish it looked as though the
popular millionaire would be pro-
vided with his first Derby winner.
The track was soft due to sum-
mer showers which alternated
with bursts Of sunshine before
the race.
At the request of King George,
the Aga Khan was escorted to the
royal box and the monarch con-
graduated the wealthy Indian
potentate on his victory. The Aga
said:
II am delighted to have won,
especially in this Kings Jubilee
race. Racing, of course is I'M
