CONCLUDING DAY AT FORBURY

AN ATTRACTIVE CARD Bessie Grattan Selected For Trotters’ Race SYSTEMATIC A PROSPECT The Forbury Park Trotting Club's spring meeting will be concluded to-morrow and the card is a very satisfactory one. The fields are largely composed of horses who raced last Saturday and the form they showed then should be the best guide in the search for winners, but an extra week’s work sometimes makes a big improvement in a horse’s form and there is a probability that the going will be firm and fast to-morrow. The meetings held on the local course are steadily growing in popularity and if the weather is fine to-morrow the accommodation will be heavily taxed. The favourites during the day may be selected from the following:— 11.0 : Tahuna Handicap. —Dictation, Lochinvar, Ripcord. 11.45: St. Kilda Handicap. —Nature Girl, Mystery Dillon, Quindale. 12.35: Domain Handicap. —Grey Streak, Direct Power, Vigilant. 1.25: President’s Handicap. —Premier Royal, the Democrat-Prince Hall bracket, On Approval. 2.10: Churchill Handicap. —Bessie Grattan, Conceit, Lady Inchcape. 3.0 : Royal Handicap. —Great Wonder, Air Mail, the Belle PottsAllanah bracket. 3.50: Victory Handicap. —Systematic, Fabric Silk-Wedding Ring bracket, Foreign Lady-Sandy Logan bracket. 4.40: Farewell Handicap.— On Approval-Sir Peterson bracket, Positive, Baby Grand-Right Royal bracket.
