MR. EU'S PONY IS FAVOURED BY MANY EXPERTS
Main race to-day, of course, is the Champion Stakes, which will be run at 4 p.m. Entries at the moment are not yot known, but it is almost certain that the three best ponios in local racing, Rose Elect, Silkylight and Desert Chief will be starting.

Silkylight won the Pelting Plate yesterday in rather slow time against King's
and Wild Life, but she Warden had little to spare in the end. King's Warden made a strong challenge, but the lead established by Pote-Hunt, on Silkylight, proved aufflelent for his pony to win without having to go all out in the last 100 yards.

This doubt the dispelled with no unerr- tainty, and not only won the race with case but broke Liberty Bay's record for, the distance. To-day the Champion distance is a quarter of a mile shorter, and there is no doubt, therefore, of Rose leel's ability to Jast it out.
Mr. C. Encarnacho should pilot Rose Elect

It Desert Chief starts, she will also menace to Rose Elect und Silky-
Light.
"The Ladies Purse will also be run to-day, the race being timed to start at 12.30 p.m. If Red Feather in sent out, it will have a great chance of carrying it off, otherwise the race may fall to Humdrum Eve ur Moon- light View.
