IN TOMORROW'S FIELD

FOR

THE

2,000 GUINEAS

By A Racing Correspondent

London, April 28.

A field well above average, numerically and well below average in racing ability will contest the 2,000 Guineas over the Rowley Mile at Newmarket on Wednesday.

Apart from Agitator and Bob Major, the only English colts to make any appeal are Caerlaverock, Gay Time and Supremacy while the Frehch colts must all be feared though.they aren't considered in the top Bight in France..

Gay Time and Supremacy are not, yet anywhere near their prime racing con- dition. 'Gay Time has five lengths to make up on-Agitator on his Kempton running and although he may finish much nearer this time he will be a far better colt by Derby day and over the longer distance.

Prepare for a big blow-up in Lancashire League cricket this summer. ruling has just been passed prohibiting the professionals attached to Clubs in the Iague from playing in any Sunday or rald-week games. This ruling will cost pro- fessionals anything up to £200 a year-tax free.
