THE ASCOT GOLD CUP
The Ascot Gold" Cup'is.one of the most coveted races on the English Turf, and with the distance two miles and a half and the conditions standard weight-for-age it furtfishes a great test of stamina. The list of* entries published shows that France is.likely to be strongly represented in the next race on 16th June, a trio of notable performers in Tourbillon, Brulette, and Bruleur hailing from that country. In 1924 a French-owned pair, Massine and Filibert de Savoie, fought out the finish, the first-named winning by a head. When Twenty Grand- and .Mate were engaged in making ■ racing history in America last year it was said to be likely that they would be sent to England with a view to contesting the Ascot jGtold Cup, but neither figures as an entrant, and apparently the "stay-at-home" policy is regarded as likely-to prove more profitable than a trip to England.
