At one time it was usual events, but the last two years/ b EVEN allowing: for the dropping out of some of the that remain m after the final forfeit there will be the nucleus of a first-class field. The season's best tjWO-year-olds are missing-, but the second fllgftt youngsters are there to do battle with the older division. ! * ■• It is a race at weight for age, with penalties, and only one has earned the full issue— Paganelli. He ~will have to shoulder a stone extra. ne has won his last three races all over six furlongs, but this time he will have another furlong to go and, with his weight, may be beaten.
