Ban On Winners Promises Sporting Events Flemington Plate Entries Into Two
Sections For Original 109 Entries

Hope For Nil Desperandum Stakes
The opening event at Happy Valley to-morrow afternoon is the Caulfield Stakes, for Australian griffins of this mecting, which should be good con- solation to those ponies which have failed to cross the wire first, for the winner is to receive $1,750..
On the book, Oracle should atone for her failure in the Austral Racing Stakes when Mr Li's candidate fell before Colooma by a short head over a distance of 1% miles. To-morrow the run is two furlongs less and Oracle is almost a dead certainty. Mountain View and Nomine Poenae are recommended for the lower positions.
There were originally 109 nominations of Australian subscription ponies of this season for the Flemington Plate, but the entries have been divided into two sections.
In the first section which is a run over the mile. A Surprising Time, Black Seal, Cor- sair, Fresh Air, Jus Gentium, Royal Sovereign and Sydney Lady are the remaining good non- winners, but a red pencil can be drawn right across Black Seal's name for the progeny of Billy Moore is on the walking list..
A Surprising Time finished third behind Endeavour and Mainsail la the first section of Blue Mountainu Plate, but the last named has been drawn into the second secilan ond the first racer with Mr Black p should have an easy passage. Royal Sovereign and Sydney Lady should All the minor placings. Optima Fide mny upset the applecart.
Bradbury's Bad Luck
I'd like to see Charlesber winning the Nil Desperandum Stakes confined to Chinn pony griffus of this meet- ing over a distance from the two mile post, once round and in. Mr Brad- bary with a long string of expensive animals deserves better luck, for there is no denying that the wheel of fortune has not lately been turning for him.
Charlesber, Pulber and Royber were all entered for last year's
