him beaten, Sam Bryant having got all
out of him he could, and he MAY be ex-
pected to go back for a while. Cracks
should beat Longstreet, and with a lively
boy as against Murphy on the latter his
chances will be improved.
Fordham should win the fourth race.

jockey.
Badges race, at jerome yesterday, was
too hard to suit me. the going being very
