Comment & Selections COMMENT & SELECTIONS - ASCOT RACE 1: QUEEN ANNE STAKES (GROUP 1) (STR) Palace Pier Order Of Australia Lope Y Fernandez PALACE PIER already appears to have the mile division at his mercy, backing up his comfortable comeback success at Sandown with an imperious performance in the Lockinge. Punters aren't going to get rich backing him but it will be a big surprise if he isn't able to get Frankie Dettori's week off to a flyer. Lope Y Fernandez was disappointing behind him at Newbury, although he could close the gap on this quicker ground. Order Of Australia appears the chief Ballydoyle hope, though, despite the Breeders' Cup Mile hero making his first appearance of the year. Previous winners Lord Glitters and Accidental Agent look up against it this time. NO. HORSE NAME 1 ACCIDENTAL AGENT Winner of five races from 6f to 1m on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft and on the all-weather, but last win was over three years ago. Finished 2 3/4l behind Ascension when fourth of 12 at 25-1 on his latest outing at Newbury over 1m (good to soft) last month. 2 BLESS HIM Winner of five races at 1m on firm and good to firm ground and on the all-weather. Beaten 8l by Palace Pier when second of 4 at 28-1 on his latest outing in the Group 2 bet365 Mile at Sandown over 1m (good) in April. 3 LOPE Y FERNANDEZ He has won three times from 6f to 1m on good and good - yielding ground. Beaten 19l behind Palace Pier at 11-2 when eighth of 11 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury over 1m (good to soft) last month. 4 LORD GLITTERS Has won nine races from 1m to 1m 2f on ground varying from good to firm to soft and on the all-weather. Finished 12l behind Palace Pier when fourth of 11 at 33-1 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury over 1m (good to soft) last month. 5 ORDER OF AUSTRALIA He has won three times from 1m to 1m 4f on good and good - yielding ground and on the all-weather. Finished 5l behind Golden Sixty when sixth of 10 on his latest outing in the Group 1 The Longines Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin over 1m in December last year. 6 PALACE PIER Winner of seven races from 7f to 1m on ground varying from good to firm to heavy and on the all-weather. Won on his latest outing when 1-2fav in the Group 1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury over 1m (good to soft) last month, beating Lady Bowthorpe by 1 1/2l. Has also won at Sandown this season. 7 POGO Winner of five races from 7f to 1m on ground varying from good to firm to good to soft. Well beaten at 66-1 behind Palace Pier when 10th of 11 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury over 1m (good to soft) last month. 8 PRINCE EIJI A winner at 7f on good ground, but that win was over two years ago. Beaten a head by Oh This Is Us when second of 9 at 8-1 on his latest outing over this course and distance (good to firm) in April. 9 REGAL REALITY He has won four times from 7f to 1m 2f on ground varying from good to firm to soft. Beaten 1/2l by Kameko when second of 6 at 17-2 on his latest outing in the Group 2 Shadwell Joel Stakes at Newmarket over 1m (good) in September last year. 10 SIR BUSKER Winner of five races from 6f to 1m on good and good to soft ground and on the all-weather.

Third of 11 behind Palace Pier beaten 7l at 11-1 on his latest outing in the Group 1 Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes at Newbury over 1m (good to soft) last month. RACE 2: COVENTRY STAKES (GROUP 2) The Acropolis Berkshire Shadow Gisburn Perhaps surprisingly given Wesley Ward's excellent record with juveniles at this meeting, he hasn't won this before but he has high hopes for Kaufymaker, who made a sparkling debut at Keeneland. Not too many fillies take in the Coventry, though, and the colts will fully test her mettle, with THE ACROPOLIS fancied to give Aidan O'Brien his 10th win in the race after breaking through at Listowel. Faster ground is expected to bring the son of Churchill on considerably. Gisburn was very good at Newbury, although he was only fourth behind Berkshire Shadow on his introduction. Ebro River landed the National Stakes but now goes a furlong further. NO. HORSE NAME 1 ANGEL BLEU Foaled 16 Feb. Successful at 5f and 6f on good to firm and soft ground.

RACE 3: KING'S STAND STAKES (GROUP 1) Winter Power Battaash Liberty Beach All eyes will be on Battaash, who has been king of the speedsters for the last few years and finally put his Royal Ascot hoodoo to bed with a dominant display in this 12 months ago. He has had an interrupted preparation, though, so can be taken on with WINTER POWER. Tim Easterby's dashing filly was brilliant on her York comeback, trouncing a subsequent Listed winner, and she is in receipt of all the allowances. July Cup hero Oxted is interesting on the drop back to the minimum, while Liberty Beach was third last year and made a victorious reappearance in the Temple Stakes.

Cover design by Jeff Belizaire About this book This is one part of the first comprehensive study of the development of Greek sculpture and painting with the aim of enriching the usual stylistic-sociological approaches through a serious, disciplined consideration of the basic Greek scientific orientation to the world. This world view, known as the Four Elements Theory, came to specific formulation at the same time as the perfected contrapposto of Polykleitos and a concern with the four root colors in painting (Polygnotos). All these factors are found to be intimately intertwined, for, at this stage of human culture, the spheres of science and art were not so drastically differentiated as in our era. The world of the four elements involved the concepts of polarity and complementarism at every level.

  • Michael Jefferson-Brown Daffodils 1962, Worcester
    DAFFODILS '62 This is DEVILRY see 1962 novelties Highlights of 1961 What a season 1961 was. The flowers seemed to go mad in the early part of the season rushing into bloom very early and not bothering much on the order of their coming. Armada no sooner seemed to have opened before we were marvelling at the crowded beds of gold and orange produced by Matlock. The American daffodils were full of interest. The lovely cool colouring of the ID Lunar Sea won our hearts, Jean chose it as the loveliest flower of the year. Bethany was incredibly perfect in the 2D class and was much admired in London. The lemon 1D Entrancement won first of its class at the Early Daffodil Competition. Another American, Rima, was exquisite, lovely in clear pink colour and fine spun quality. It is the sole pink trumpet in commerce in Britain. Purity crowded its bed with beautiful blossom. We have included a photograph of this neat 2C in this catalogue. One of our crosses this year was Purity x White Prince, over 500 seeds are safely tucked up now of this cross. Later the bright pink of China Pink made one of the brightest and most attractive spots in the gardens. Green Hills opened at the end of the season in time for me to take a bunch of its round white flowers with their lemon and green cups into hos- pital where Jean had given birth to Helen, our first child. Excitements in 1962 I am sure that this is going to be an exciting year.
