'DOUBLE TENTH' MEET TO-MORROW

Cantale Handicap

BIG FIELD FOR DAILY DOUBLE

THE MOST IMPORTANT RACE to-morrow is the Cantala Handicap which has been selected for the first leg of the daily double event with the inclusion of a pool of $6,425 carried over from the last meeting.

There are 23 entries of "B")

class Australian ponies and the Jordan H'cap (2nd Sect.) run is over the champion course. The grass track will again bo Cramped, but luckily the faunt is over 14 miles.

On the form book A Boaring Time,: Fair Chance, Franklin, Murrum- bidgee, Rowan, Sydney Lad, Trium- phant Day and Vixen Tor have proved that they can last the dis- tance, and we have a nice list from which to find the Brst leg.

My best three are Fair Chance, Sydney Lad and Rowan. Murrum- bidgee and Vixen Tor are dangerous enough to upset the applecurt.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3 (UP)-Cincinnati Reds Baseball Serica when they beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 to day and evened up the games score.

THE EIGHT EXTRA RACE MEETING, better known among the racavenged yesterday's defeat in the first game of the World ing owners and men of the turf as the "Double Tenth Meeting," is a two- day affair with eight attractive events on the programme for each day.

Extra Interest In The

Daily Double Pool

To-morrow the October Handicap for China ponies over the champion course is the major contest, while on Thursday the Double Tenth Plate for the same class of China steeds, a sprint from the 11⁄2 mile post (about half mile 155 yards), will be the main fight.

The Diamond Bay Handicap reserved for the "A" class Aus- tralian ponies to be run on Thursday will, in my opinion, be the best bout of the meeting, and the mile run has attracted A GOOD FIELD of "has been" sprinters will be seen in the Jordan no less than 17 first class racers Handicap (second section) for including the nomination of De- class China ponies from the 135 mile vonian owned by Lady North- post, and it looks that anything maycote. happen. At the Isat meeting they were ridden by novices, whereas to-morrow, the "D" class ratern will have the services of experienced jockeys.

This Time has been brought down from the first section, and he is at the top of the ladder together with Bressny and Double Chance. I like This Time over a distance, and with Wei in the saddle the combination is a menace to all.

The carrying over of the 'Daily Double pool of $6,425 will an doubtedly be the main attraction and the Race Club is anticipating a

help to swell the pool.
