O-Lan And Sapper For To-morrow's Champions Burford And Distant ROYAL
View The
The Danger
By "Rapier"
Interest in racing to-morrow will be centred on the two Champions events, i.e. the Champion Stakes (China Ponies) and the Australian Ponies Champions.
TWO NEW RACES
The Austral Racing Stakes, for Australian ponies, griffins of this Meeting, winners barred, over 14 miles, ind the Sandringham Plate, for Australian subscription ponies¦ of 1941, over six furlongs, are be- ing held for the first
time
year.
VICTORIA STAKES WINNERS
this
Following is a list of winners of the Victoria Stakes over the last 19 years: --
1931- Diana Bay (HH) in 2.05. 1932 Cyclamen Bay (McCann)
in 1.59.
1933--Diana Bay (Hill) in 1.58.2. 1934-Trentbridge (Chang)
2,03.3.
1935- Liberty Bay (Frost)
1.55.4.
The Champion Stakes, worth $3,000 to the winning owner, is the eighth race on the program- me, and though it is open to all the best contenders among the grifins, China Ponies. that have either won or been placed in a flat race at the Valley during the second half of 1940 and or at this Meeting, I doubt whether than
more
five ponies will Ko out to face the starter over 14 miles. Following are the probable star-
ters:-
O-LAN (MR. NEEDA), CONFUSION BAY (MR. PIH), NAVYLIGHT (MR. MOLLER). OF HARVEST (MEL
EVE DAVIS),
BURFORD. After its great win in the Chal- lenge Cup on Monday last, I don't think we need look further than 0-Lan as the new champion, but it remains to be seen how well it will run over the shorter dis- tance.
NAVY CUP WINNERS
Following is a list of winners of the Royal Navy Cup for the last
10 years:- 1931-The Pheasant (Frost), in
2.42.4. 1932 Histre (Quincey) in 2.17. 1933 Bistre (T. L. Wong)

Burford failed to impress in the Challenge Cup, when the best it could do was to take third posi- tion, but I believe that I has been rested specially for the Champion Stakes. Given a strong jockey, 1940-Eve of Harvest (Encarna Burford will yet prove itself

a
dangerous contender.
However, whichever pony wins. the race will be fought out at a rattling fast pace, with the possi- bility of the record being lower- ed.
I nominate O-Lan to win, with Burford second and Navylight third.
Sapper's Test
The Australian Ponies Cham- picns is worth $3,500.00 to the winning owner and it will be con- tested by Australian ponies, win- ners and placed ponies in flat races. at the Valley during the second this Meeting only. half of the 1940, season, and/or at
What a grand race this should turn out to be when the new and old ponies fight for supremacy!
I expect to see the following starting:-
SAPPER (MR; DAVIS). DISTANT VIEW (MR. PIH). BAFFIN BAY (MR, NEEDA), FIRST LOVE (MR. LIANG). VICEROY (MR. BLACK). MANHATTAN (MR. HEARNE). ENDEAVOUR (MA. MOLLER). UNITED EXPRESS (MR. IP KUI-YING).
CANBELEGO HANDICAP
This race was introduced last year, when it was run over a dis- tance of 144 miles. It was con- fined to Australian subscription ponies classified "B" Class, and was won by Murrumbidgee, with Mr. D. Black up, in 2.15.1.
This year the race will be con- fined to "C" Class Australian ponies and the distance has been cut down to one mile.
KARA KARA HANDICAP
This event was run for the first time last year when, over a dis- tance of 14 miles, Brutus, ridden by Mr. D. Black, finished first in 2.19. The distance this year has been reduced to six furlongs and Australian the race is open to subs, of previous seasons.
