DE MINIMIS FAVOURED FOR THIRD PLACE
ALTERNATIVE FOR THE “DOUBLE”
(By Rapier.)
UNBEATEN over 14 miles National Day, with
Mr. Benny. Proulx up, is the most likely can- didate for the Subscription Griffins Challenge Cup on Saturday.
Warrington, with Mr. Norman Deitz up, is a warm favourite, but I cannot see him beating either National Day or De Minimis with Mr. S. N. Pan up. Should there be an upset due to the con- dition of the course the best outsider is Partner-
ship (Mr. S. Y. Liang),
If Hey Tor accepts he should be watched, in spite of the belief that he cannot stay the distance. Whatever wins a useful dividend will be paid, as it is one of the most open classics in the history of the Colony Turf.
The innovation of the "double" on the fifth and eighth races will cause punters to scratch their heads, and I would suggest National Day and Wakefield, or National Day and Alexandra Hall.
The opening meeting of the second half of the season always brings a crop of surprise dividends. The public resume backing their favourites of the Spring. Some of these do not summer too well and backward ponies show improvement. It is the best policy to back only the fit ponies.
