REVIEW OF THE PAST

RACING SEASON

LITTLE TO BE S AID REGARDING THE OLD PONIES

HEROD IS OUTSTANDING AMONG THE GRIFFINS OF THE YEAR

(By "Capt. Foster")

In reviewing the past racing season I find there is little to be said as regards the old ponies. Liberty Bay is still supreme by such a wide margin that he has been 'eliminated from the betting and he looks like retaining' this position indefinitely. Of the other "A" class animals Diana Bay ran two dead heats, firet with Trentbridge and then with King's Warden. She then ran unplaced, while Trentbridge collected a poor third place behind Soldier of Britain and Cossack's Beauty, after which both she and Trentbridge retired for the Season. The withdrawal of these two, however, in no way detracted from the in- terest in the racing shown by our premier class, and I have no hesitation in saying that in spite of very small fields the chief interest in the day's racing at many of the extra meetings was chiefly centred on the "A" class event.

It

is certain that in no other class were prizes so evenly dis- tributed.
