DERBY WINNERS TO REMAIN IN ENGLAND
GOLFERS ENTER S'HAI. OPEN
Followers of racing will be sorry to learn that it has been found necessary to destroy Oracle, 1941 Australian pony (griffin) belonging to Mr..T. K: LI whose pony Oolong won the Derby at the last Annual Meeting.
In an interview with the "China Mail," Mr. Li said that
It was discovered after the Annual Meeting that Oracle had a stiff coil bone. It was thought, how- ever, that this would yield to treatment and this theory was, to all appearances, borne out by the fact that Oracle won the Oakleigh Plate, last race on the programme at the First Extra Meeting, when it covered the Mile in 1.44, the full times for that, distance being 24 3/5; 50 1/5; 1.17 2/5 and 1.44.
Oracle made its first appearance on the local track in the Austral Valley Stakes on the First Day-of the Annual Meeting
it when ran unplaced, The next day, however, it somewhat upset cal- culations by being second to Dis- tant View (Mr. Pih) in the Aus- tral Derby, paying $19.50 for a place bet. These two, however, were the only successes recorded by a pony which showed every promise of developing into one of the best representatives of the Li stable-it won $2,500 in all in stakes money,
