ROSE ELECT IS CERTAINTY FOR THE CHAMPIONS
MR. EU'S PONY IS FAVOURED BY MANY EXPERTS
Main race to-day, of course, is the Champion Stakes, which will be run at 4 p.m. The illness of Silkylight, necessitating scratching from all events, has, howovor, taken away most of the interest in the event, which will almost certainly go to Rose Elect.
It will probably be agreed that there is no serious contender for Rose Elect, the Derby winner, with Silky light, fast year's winner of the Derby and Champlons, out of the race. Hose Elect's easy win over Navylight in the Derby on Monday atumps it as one worthy of following! the footsteps of those many ponies which, in the past, have won both the Derby and the Champlons in
same year,

Silkylight won the Pekin Plate yesterday In rather slow time wind King's Warden and Wild Life, but she had little to spare in the end. King's Warden made a strong challenge, but the lead established by Pote-Hunt, on Silkylight, proved sufficient for his pony to win withog having to go all out in the last 100 yards,
DOUBT DISPELLED
Before the Derby event, the only doubt yarding Rose Elect's ability was whether she could stay the dis- tance of
mile
and a half. This doubt the dispelled with no uneer- tasty, at mat only won the race with ease but broke Liberty Bay record for the distance. To-day Champion distance in a quarter, of a mile shorter, and there is no doubt, therefore, of Rose Elect's ability to Just it out.
