A galaxy of talent and the fact that it is difficult to ascertain with any degree of certainty which pony or ponies Mr. Beith will start will combine to make the third race, the "A" Class of the Hainton Plate, one of the xxxxx most interesting races of the day. Here some of this year's griffins which have already raced one another, an "old" pony or two and several of last year's extra meeting stalwarts are to com- pete. Should a good jockey be forthcoming and Beauty Dahlia is started, it might pay to follow him if only for the large return that, will be probable. However, Beauty Dahlia may run in the fifth event for non-winning griffins. Here again, Mr. White's other 1925-griffin, Saracen, might be in at "the kill."
