OPENS TODAY
London,, Sept. 8.—An important four-day racé meeting opens at Doncaster on Wednesday, but it is the finish that everyone is waiting for. King George is scheduled to attend the St Leger Stakes, last of the season's classics for three-year-olds.
J
Besides being worth the biggest purse in British racing, the St Leger has the added interest for the King of a Royal entry. His filly, Angelola, is taking a lady's chance with the colts.
A flurry of betting by small- backers was reported on Tuesday for Angelola who was
among the outsiders at 33-D in last night's
London callover.
"Angelola is the small backer's favourite," said Douglas Stuart, a
London bookle. I expect that 25
