GAY BUTTERFLY OR NATIONAL DAY?

GOOD DUEL, ANTICIPATED FOR SUB-GRIFFIN PLATE OVER

MILE AND QUARTER

TO-DAY'S RACING PROSPECTS DISCUSSED

To-day the Hong Kong Jockey Club's Fifth Extra Race Meeting will be held at Happy Valley and there is an interesting card of ten races. The sport commences at 2pm and open with a Ave furlong sprint event for "A" Olass candidates that will be worth going a long way to sse, While I would not say that the record is due to be lowered, the winner is sure to come „very near record time,

Interest In the race meeting is centered on the Bub Griffins Plate over a mile and a quarter. There is plenty of speculation as to who will carry off this event. De Minimis is fancied in some quarters and so is Melody, but, the bulk of racegoers will prob ably pln their faith on Gay Butterfly or National Day. ought to be a good race,

Tils

MANY SPRINTERES IN FIRST EVENT

The following are the likely, going through the remaining entries? starters in the first race-Cyclamen there is only one other pany with Bay (Frost) Glenoagles (Butler), any chance here as all and that is Hetman (da Roza), King's Bounty | White Butterfly, who should be able (Proul), Bag and Baggage | to run into a place) despite the fact (Heard), Gay Crusader and Don that he is a somewhat slow starter. ore doubtful starters at the time of writing. The race seem to be very open with the chances of Cyclamen Bay alightly better than

the rest, but it would not be sur-

prising if the pony were inplaced altogether, because in a short race with so many classy sprinters any thing can happen. Bag and Bag gage has been showing good track form lately bad might do well. Glensegles and Hetman, are both

Mount Davis Handicap. After his convincing perform auces during the Easter Meeting, Wayward Stag with only 147 lbs. to carry seem to me to be a good thing for the middle distance event. I notice Dee is in at, top weight in this class and although the weight will not trouble him, I am not as nil süre. that the distance is not a bit too much for him. Alexandra Hall ought to find things very much to his liking at 153 pounds and is, on the whole, a very. good het for a win and place, There are just a couple of other which appeal to me and these are Street Singer and Tenorio. Both are capable of upsetting calcula
