OLD BILL WINS ANOTHER- GRAND NATIONAL SUCCESS OF WARRENFIELD
[av ARGUS.] The concluding day of the Shanghai Rach Club's Spring, meeting, took placd on Saturday.
"
The chief event on the programme was the Grand National Steeplechase, in which Old Bill carried Mr. Bremner to victory.
This great China pony was im ported as a Shanghai grilin in the Autumn of 1910. Resides numerous vic- taries on the flat, Old Bill was second in the National in the Spring of 1920, won the following Spring, was second on the next two ocensions, second in 1923 (S.), won it in the Autumn of 1993, second in the Spring of 1994 and won it pa
1045. in both, ocensions
Saturday's success, therefore means three off the reel, equalled by Petersfeld and Black Diamond and beaten by Cotswold, who has four successive victories to his name. Old Bill, like Petersfield now has five wins to his credit, but with five seconds in addition Mr. Campbox's pony has the better record.
In the crossbred Champion Stakes, Warrenfield earned the title, the time 2.31.3-5 being equal to his previous re- cord, made when he won the Shanghai Champions last Spring.
