T
(NY RAPIER)
THE St. - George's Plate over 11⁄2 miles on Saturday week will decide which is the best grifin of the season, providing it is a dry course. Brilliant Star (Mr. Butler), Hydroplane (Mr. Proulx), Soldier of Britain (Mr. Dellz) and Soldier of China (Mr. da Roza) are the four ponies chiefly concerned. Prima Donna (Mr. Harriman), Gladiator (Mr. Heard), and Bay View (Mr. Llang) are other probable starters.
The Australian race the Canterbury Park Handicap over six furlongs — is also likely to prove most interesting with Able Amazon (Mr. Butler), Bronze Era (Mr. Black), Just That (Mr.
Deitz), and Woodland Stag (Mr. Proulx) competing for the hon-
ours. Saucy Face (Mr. Heard) and Mutiny Bay (Mr. Taylor) are other likely starters. H.E. the Governor's Nell Gwyn is an unlikely starter as I understand she is being rested, due to a tender leg.
With these two races on the card and the Mount Parker Ilan- dicap for "A" Class China ponies presenting a difficult problem with the return of Bag and Baggage, which I understand, will be ridden by Mr. Deltz, the Fourth Extra should be the finest “extra” of the season.
