Ban On Winners Promises Sporting Events

Flemington Plate Entries Into Two Sections For Original 109 Entries

Hope For Nil Desperandum Stakes

The opening event at Happy Valley this afternoon is the Caulfield Stakos, for Australian griffins of this mooting, which should be good con- solation to those ponies which have failed to cross the wire first, for the winner is to receive $1,750.

On the book, Oracle should atone for her failure in the Austral Racing Stakes when Mr Li's candidate fell before Colooma by a short head over a distance of 14 miles. To-morrow the run is two furlongs less and Oracle is almost a dead certainty. Mountain View and Nomine Poenae are recommended for the lower positions.

There were originally 109 nominations of Australlan subscription ponies of this season for the Flemington Plate, but the entries have been divided into two sections.

In the first section which is a run over the mile. A Surprising Time, Black Seal, Cor- sair, Fresh Air, Jus Gentium, Royal Sovereign and Sydney Lady are the remaining good non- winners, but a red pencil can be drawn right across Black Seal's name for the progeny of Billy Moore is on the walking list.

A Surprising Time Onished third behind Endeavour and Mathan In The first section of Blue Mountains Pinte, but the last named has been drawn into the second section and the firat racer with Mr Black up Royal should have an easy passage. Sovereign and Sydney Lady should Alt the minor placing. Opilman Fide may upset the applecart.

Bradbury's Bad Luck

I'd like to see Charlesber winning the Nil Desperandum Stakes confined to China pony grigins of this meet- ing over a distance from the two mile pest, once round and in. Mr Brad- bury with a long string of expensive animals deserves better luck, for there is no denying that the wheel of fortune has not Intely been turning for him.

Charlesber, Palber and Royber Were all entered for last year's

EVENTS

Children No Longer Allowed To Attend

The Fifth Day of the Annual Race Meeting under the auspices of the Hongkong Jockey Club will be held | to-morrow at Happy Valley, the first saddling bell being rung at 1,30 p.m. Instead of the usual 11 o'clock.

There are nine interesting events on the card, but a feature of to- morrow's programme is that a ban has been placed on all winners, ex- cepting the Professional Cup, which is a champion contest confined to Australian subscription griffins of this season.

With all winners locked in their stalls, we can certainly, look for- ward with certainty to a good day's sport and but it only remains for the. Weather Clerk to provide a ♣♣♦ sunny afternoon.
