PROSPECTS FOR

TO-DAY'S RACING.

DANGEROUS RIVALS.

[By Wombal,"]

The most valuable event is the 3rd Aggregate Stakes for which Apollo is considered a very good thing, though in Zorhan, and Gleneagles he may encounter couple of dangerous rivals.

#

The course, which being widened, is far from completed and the ponies will, therefore, bej racing on a rather restricted area which, however, should not cause any inconvenience as have already mentioned that

most of the fields will be small.
