A commentary on the first of the Classics by Thomas Woodrooffe
(Assisted by a race reader) from the Rowley Mile Stand,
Newmarket
The Two Thousand Guineas-never broadcast before-is always extraordinarily interesting, as it consists more or less of the Derby field, the winner very often starting actually favourite for the Blue Riband of the turf. Again, it is of interest because many of the entry have- not run before as three-year-olds, and there is frequently a tremendous difference between two-year-old and three-year-old form. As prominent an entry as any is the Aga Khan's flying Mirza II, who won over one mile at Lingfield this year, although his stamina is in doubt. Portmarnock, rated 21b better, and Scottish Union, rated lib. better by the ' free ' handicap, will add to the interest of the field. Then there is the whispered Pasch, from Beckhampton, who never ran as a two-year-old and may be anything at all.
Woodrooffe, in giving his commentary on a flat race, is faced with a severe test, for there may be a large field and the horses will be running towards him over a dead straight mile, on a course over 50 yards wide. In a really close finish between groups of horses on either side of the course, it is impossible for anyone but the judge to say what has won. He will be on top of the Rowley Mile Stand and will have the help of the same race reader who assisted him at the Grand National.

Jean Philippe Rameau, the great French composer contemporary with Bach, Handel, Domenico Scarlatti, and his countryman Couperin, was primarily an opera composer, carrying on the splendid tradition of his predecessor, Lully, who died a few years after Rameau was born. But Rameau wrote music in all forms, particularly harpsichord music, of which, with Couperin and Scarlatti, he was one of the great exponents of his time.
For Rameau, music was the thing that mattered, and nothing else. And the fact that Rameau's reputation as a musician and a thinker probably stands higher today than it did in his own time must be his supreme vindication. As M. Louis Laloy puts it, ' His story is the story of a mind that is trying to emerge from obscurity-and in the end succeeds in doing so.' LEONARD HIRSCH AND ORCHESTRA
