THEY STIR IN THE GRAVE

CHADES of the giants of the past! Could only some of those stal-v ° warts which have won a New Zealand Derby be at Riccarton next Monday and they would, en masse, enter a protest. ' v And the protest would be m order, for never before has been left m such a mediocre lot. . . ..'. There is only one horse that can be elevated to Derby company--; Silver Paper. : . -.•■; • .> He has accomplished his part of the business m great style, and, if ever form is to be of any assistance, he should be the first Paper Moneyto win a Blue Riband. ; He is to attempt the task set Money Order some three years back — that of tackling the Stewards' oh the Saturday and the Derby on the'/ Monday. ' ' v Money Order- failed m both, but he was a far more temperamental .: 1 horse than Si fver Paper. ' The only two others to enter into the realms. of possibility are the returned tourists, .Concentrate and Roscrea. ■ Concentrate failed to distinguish himself over the other side—he did win one race, but m that he extinguished himself, as he came home. " unbacked! . ' • 1 i: ■-'""''■ Thereafter, when expected, he did nothing but show out m the ! early stages and dive into obscurity when the money was to be won. Roscrea did a deal better, but he did not give of his best, He was troubled by soreness and was glad to be left m his box. > , Since his return home he has riot been worried that way, and, allowing m for the vast difference m quality, he may be; the one to trouble Silver Paper. . Moorgas and Cashier do not look up to the job, while Night March and Full Feather are also classed m the list of unlikely winners. The race has to be run and there also has to be a winner/ and the public will' look for - , SILVER PAPER, . - ROSCREA. ftiuitiiitiitiiitiiifitiiiiifiiiiiiiifiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiitTiftiiriiiiiitiiiii^iitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirtiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiitfTiiiiiiiiiTitiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiuiiiiuiiitntiraK
