1935

THE preliminary announcement in this week’s Racing Calendar that this year’s Derby winner, HH Aga Khan’s Bahram, will be retired at the end of the season came as a great surprise. It will be very welcome news to breeders as, now that the great Blandford is dead, there is keen competition for the stud services of his descendants, the best of whom will now be Bahram and Windsor Lad in England, and Brantome on the continent.
