The victory margin was by a mere head with Double Eclipse. a 40-to-1 stablcmatc of Prince Simon. four lengths farther back in third place. Twenty-five three-year-old colts started.

Prince Simon. 2-to-1 favorite. was 2 1-2 lengths in front as the huge field turned into the up-hill home stretch. Then Gaicador, run-- ning for Marcel Boussac of Paris, came shooting out of the pack to collar the Prince 200 yards from home.

A hundred yariis from the fin- ish jockey Rae Johnswne got Gal- cador's nose in front and kept it there. ,

Thus New York banker William Woodward's ilth try to win the famed Derby was frustrated again. Woodward listened in New York to the race. lVOll but Dilcc in its 172 runnlngs by an American-bretl horse.

Harry Carr. the King's jockey. was up on Prince simon. born anti bred in Kentucky. Carr said the Prlncc, who has the same father as Hill Prince of Preakness fame, said "There are no hard luck stor- ries. He had every cliancc."

Capt. Cecil Boyd-Rochfort, train- er of Prince Simcti and Double Eclbse, was of the opinion that the Prince's early front-running cost hlmtlie race.

The triumph made a rare double for Johnstone. the Australian who rode Boussac's' Asmena to victory in the Oaks Thursday.

The royal party. celebrating Queen Mother Marys 83rd birth- day which was Friday, occupied a box near the finish.

For hours prior to the start the. roads leading in this quaint track were black with cars and people on foot. Six hours before the race the throng was 12 deep along the stretch and beyond.
