POOR PET
U.S. Woman at Derby Buys Share in Horse After witnessing the Derby three weeks ago, a pretty American visitor, Mrs. Ann Murdock Powers, was so thrilled with the English turf that she impulsively purchased a half-share in Eleanor Lady Torrington’s Lone Knight, which Steve Bonoghue is riding in her name and colours at Ascot. Mrs. Murdock Powers says: “The poor pet had no chance in the Derby because he was frightened by the people, prior to the race, pushing and patting him and shouting, “Good old Steve! ” “Lady Torrington and I are dividing the cups,” she said, “but we made no mention of the winnings during the deal, because it sounded so commercial.”
