The curtain-raiser will be in the Surrey Handicap for "A" class China ponies and this has drawn entries, Soldier of Britain holds the post of honour with 163 lbs. while King's Warden has to carry a couple of pounds less. Much has been said in the coffee room aver this allot- ment.and.of.course, it would be rather impertinent in asking the weight ad- tee to explain his line of conduct. However we leave it at that.
may be interesting to know that This was not the first occasion that King's Warden bad a pull in weight, for this time last year in the Castle Penk Handicaps (one Mile) Soldier of Britain was giving 5 lbs. to King's Warden, who after a grim battle just managed to win by half-a-length.

EQUAL CHANCES

RACE
Nine ponies have been allotted the lowest impost in the Kent Handlicop for "C" class rater's over six furlongs and this, incidentally, will be the first leg of the dally double. It may be of interest to know that
that at the last meeting there were two races of the "C" class test and second sections of Chira pomies, but, to-morrow these two divisions have been merged into event and will be ridden by Jockeys who have not won more than tea races anywhere. It looks that all the ponies, have equal chances and the job is to pick the winner.
