BAG AND BAGGAGE HAS BIG TASK

IN FIRST RACE

(BY MORNING DEW.") .

National Day will probably carry the bulk of the betting this after- noon when the Second Subscription Griffins Champions comes to be decided. His biggest danger is from Gay Butterfly, who, a fortnight ago accounted for him over a longer distance. De Minimis also is a very good candidate to follow in this

race.

The opening race of the day should we a great struggle between the best candidates in each stable. With the absence of Mr. Dunbar's crackerjacks,

Diana Bay and

Liberty Bay, the result of "A" Class contests are now always very diffi cult to forecast Bag and Baggage should just about win to-day.

The best race of the day is the ninth on the card, Here the subs that raced at the annual meeting will figure in a handicap. Warring- ton carries top weight and will have the race of his life if he is going to win.

Chances Discussed Race by Race,

Second Spring Subs Champions In this event the ponies which has hitherto scored the most successÉS are National Day, Gay Butterfly and De Minimis. The first-named is my choice for to-day's race as he is a good one over this distance. mile and Don't let his defeat over

a half weigh against him as there are many ponies who can travel very wall over a mile and a quarter but cannot do anything with the extra quarter mile. I suspect National. Day is one of these. He should be very close to-day if he fails to win. Of course, the biggest danger to his chances is Gay Butterfly winner of

six furlongs race and a mile and half race. Day Butterfly has proved conelusively that he is sprinter as well as a stayer and if one has to go past National Day, surely Gay Butterfly is the pony to support.

De Minimis too has proved, though not so convincingly perhaps as Gay Butterfly, that he also is a T'under- sprinter and a stayer. stand Fan will be riding him and he should not be very far behind the leaders the finish. With a even bit of fuck, the pony might upset calculations,
