WHO WILL WIN TO-DAY'S BIG RACE?

ST. ANDREW'S STAKES AN OPEN EVENT: SEVERAL CONTENDERS OF MERIT AMONG LIKELY STARTERS.

SOME POINTS ABOUT TO-DAY'S RACING PROGRAMME.

[By "MORNING DEW."} .!

The outstanding event to-day is the St. Andrew's Stakes over the mile and a half. Several big stables are represented by good candidates and a very keen race should be seen. To pick the winner is a very difficult task as there are several optranta of... about equal strength. On paper it looks as if Nationalist 11., President Hall or Sitting Bull will supply the anawer, although, it would not be surprising if either Wisdom Stag, Peppermint or King's Colour did the trick. The chances of the favourites are fully discussed below.

Besides the main event, the "A" class race over the milo should provide a contest worth going a long way to sco. The ox- Champion, Elliot Bay, is entered and will be running against that great short distanco performer of the past, Boxing Eve. Royal Flush is hero also running at a comfortablo weight as is Chess- peake Bay, Majestic Hall and Duke of Chantilly. Here also puuters are referred to the more detailed notes below.

St. Andrew's Stakes.

In this race the field will be the best seen on the local course for a long time. The likely starters and their jockey are Nationalist II. (Mr. da Roza), President Hall (Mr. Pan), Bull (Mr. Heard), Wisdom
