Weller was the only horse to do more
than canter easily yesterday. He

as good as he was last year but his

as follows:
Socialist. I:4s; General Cronje, 1:4s:
| Del Vista and Nullah. 1:20. On the

bay gelding and a terror in the mud:
Rose of Hilo. a sorrel mare that can
go the route, and Highland Light, a
sotrel maiden.

bell rings the curtain up at Sacra-

Vista and Nullah are likely candidates
for the long trip.
