Conclusion.

Birthday Book, Khozaberd, rand Convoy may not run, they are not mentioned in the betting but ros sibly because they are offered at long odds.

It looks like a race between Cameronian and Orpen, and the fact that the former is now offered. at 9/8, is proof of the confidence in this horse. Nevertheless it must be remembered, that the bookies have had a bad year and are not giving much away, and furthermore Cameronian is a very popular horse to-day with the public

I think there is little in it he tween these two horse and possibly Orpen will appreciate the extra distance rather than Cameronian.

As a betting proposition Sand- wich and Gayesuns seem to make most appeal, that is a “Ench Way" proposition I feel almost convinced that the former lacks the speed of Cameronian, Goyescas, and Orpen, but against this.he has the stamina which in the end may wit this race. Goyesca is an uncertain quantity, and I feel that the dis- tance may just bent him on the. other hand I have felt all along that perhaps this is the race in which he will show his very best.

And so my personaj feeling is Goyescas each way, and for an out- sider Ingelesant win and place.
