SOLDIER OF BRITAIN WINS

Final Classic For Griffins Won

In A Canter

FAVOURITES SOUNDLY

TROUNCED

(BY "MORNING DEW")

The Hong Kong St. Leger, the Anal Classic of the year for grlins, went to Soldier of Britaln. Mr. Li Shiu Pang's candidate. The pony led from start to finish and was never in danger of being beater.

Cavalcade won the subscription-griffing' Classic and Able Ama- #on carried off the Australians' event.

King's Warden and Electric Star fälled to make any impromion at all in Saturday's big race, the distance being obviously too long for them.

Several exciting Anishes were seen, the outstanding one being The five furlongs race where Oak Bay dead-heated with Brechin.

The first and last races provided the biggest dividends of the day. It is gratifying to record once agam that the "Dally Press" tipped five winners and sixteen places in eight races.

Able Amazon won the Freemantle St. Leger easily from Bag Tor with Racing Heart third, High Finance fourth, and Mutiny Bay last.

Going out in front Racing Heart, followed by Able Amazon set a slow pace, the first three quarters of a mile belag in 1.34. The last mile was in 147.1, which is some going indeed!

As soon as the pace began to Uven up, (the fourth quarter was In 25 seconds) Able Amazon crept up on the leader and going in front at the Rock, salled merrily home with a last quarter of 3.21.1. Bag Tor passed Racing Heart in the straight to take second place. High Finance was fourth and Mu- tiny Bay last.

King's Warden and Electric Star, made a brave show in the early part of the race, but faded out of the picture after the first mile be- cause the pace set by Soldier of Britain, who went in front early in the race, was too hot. The first mile was finished in 2,02.2, which found the "Soldier" in front with Gladiator, Soldier of China and King's Warden following him with about seven lengths between them. Half a mile from home Soldier of Britain was so far in front that Deitz kept looking back "to" see what had happened to the rest of the field.
