Top Prizes

Britain's Top

London, Feb. 20.

After a lull of five years British turf experts -and bookmakers too are anticipating a re- vival of the French challenge, headed by the famous Marcel Boussaç stable, to win the five classic horse races here this season.

The last classic victory for the French millionaire was gained by his Talma 11 in the 1951 St Leger Stakes, but his entries this season suggest that. Bousse is making his most powerful bid for many years to annex Britain's top prizes. And British bookmakers believe this, too.
