The inclusion of Honeymoon Eve and Royal Scot in the "A" standard was a foregone conclusion, owing to the smart dis. play by Honeymoon Eve in the Morrison Hill "B" class Handicap run on Easter Monday, and it will be recalled that her time of the race was only three-fifths of a second outside of the track record held by Apollo. It may seem a bit hard on Royal Scot that she should be promoted to “A” class in view of the fact that she had not contested in a "B" class event, but, it is obvious that the classification sub-committee were not taking any chances after her clover win in the St. George's Plate, when she covered the champion course in 2.35.1/5.
