Sensational Defeat of Derby Favourites
HYDROPLANE WINS THE
CLASSIC EVENT

Trentbridge Beats

There were quite enough upsets yesterday to make the racing interesting, and "from the point of view of the racegoer, the day's sport was a thorough success," al- though the track itself could not possibly have been
The rain which threatened to spoil the day, fortun- ately held off after 11 a.m. and for the rest of the after- moon, although it was overcret, it did not rain. " There. were inches of water on the track which was very bad ly cut up before the Derby came to be run.
. The public spread their support evenly in the Derby, Soldier of Britain carrying a shade more tickets than the others. The race was a very slow one, and the winner was Hydroplane, who came home in front of Bright View and New Star.

TO-DAY'S
PROSPECTS
AL
Able Amazon looks the best thing for the Rooty Hill Derby where the opposition will probably compose of Bronze Era, Atlas, Alacilty and race Mutiny Bay. A rattling should be seen and if the course is not in the same wretched con- dition as it was yesterday, the time should be good.
The Subscription Griffins' Chal- lenge Cup should be another ex- cellent race, where Classic Hall, Surprise and Cavalcade will prob- ably dispute the issue. The race is very open with the odds slightly in favour of Mr. Ho Kom Tong's Candidate:
The Royal Navy Cup, in the ab- sence of Racing Boy and Partner- "ship, Icoks a very open affair, and.
