Roi de Paris, the 4-year-old French bred grey owned by two bookmakers, Mr. J. Cooper (whose colours he raced in) and Mr. E. J. Rowson, won the Great Metropolitan Stakes this week at Epsom with the greatest ease, carrying the minimum weight of 6 st. 7 lb.  Previously this season Roi de Paris had had two outings, running up in a mile and a quarter race at Leicester and winning one of two miles and one furlong at Newbury.  He was followed home at Epsom by chelmarsh (7 st.  11 lbs.) and Notice Board (8 st. 8lb.)  Scardroy started favourite at 9 to 2 and he and Knockeevan, at 7 to 1, were the only starters shorter prices than the winner.  At Newbury Roi de Paris, who evidently is partial to Marathon distances, was bought in for no more than 150 guineas.

Condition is Very Good.
