PROSPECTS OF TO-DAY'S RACING.
SOME CHOICE SELECTIONS AMONG THE
"ALSO" RANS.”
WHO WILL WIN THE SUBS CHAMPIONS?
[BY MORNING DEW.']
Although the racing to-day will be confined chiefly to the "Also Rans" in the various classes, there is little doubt that the sport provided will be as thrilling as that seen during the earlier days of the meeting.
The principal'
principal event on the card is the Subscription Grifins Champions, the prospects of which is fully dealt with below. The programme opens with three events over five furlongs each for the three classes-subs, grifios, and old ponies. As some very good ponies figure among the non-winners, there should be close finishes and some good times.
Several of the visiting jockeys," including Messrs. Haimovitch, Encarnacao, Wong and Bowling, have returned to Shanghai, but nevertheless there should be plenty of excitement and thrills in the day's sport,
The Hay and Corn" Stakes, I have always maintained that the aubs of this season are nothing like the subs of past seasons, and although this is a race over only five furlongs, and only non-winners are allowed to start, I am afraid I must turn to the old subs to look for winner here. Armony looks a good thing and if Mr. Heard should take him out, he will be a hot favourite, and quite rightly so. Mr. Heard, however, has another very useful animal he can take out Cream Cracker. Both these ponies, if started, can account for the race Piccy and The Jamaica can both, start if they want. to, and I look to these animals to fill the remaining places. Iron Blood, who was second an Wednesday in the last race, may be with the others at the finish, but unless he is well placed at the start, I don't think he can win. There is bound to be a very big field here.

Hal, after winning the Valley Stakes, has not been able to do anything, in spite of the assistance of Mr. Encarnação. I don't think punters need consider him as a serious proposition to-day's Champions. Done

Done Again ap- pears to be a pony good for seven furlongs or thereabouts, but I have my doubts about his being able to stay for the mile and quarter. Loch Fyne won a mile race, was accond in a half-mile, and third in a mile and half race. This is rather consistent performance, and should not be surprised to see him do well to-day over a mile and a quarter.

Tango has an even stronger claim, and if he starts I have not the slightest doubt he will be made a hot favourite, especially since he has won on two of the four occa- sions on which he started, and was placed on the remaining occasions. His failure to win the Valley Stakes was undoubtedly due to the Stags," and I fancy both start, which found him badly left.

This is the race for a big dividend aome of the least prominent animals are grouped here. The Dodo in spite of 168 pounds might Drove to be the best animal. Hong Kong Beau is another and Baby Face also, catches the eye. Heard will probably ride Grey Back. in which case he should be well placed."
