On Saturday morning the son of Klysian gave Burrangong -a decisive beating over half a mile in 50 2-5 secs. Mr Stone's other horses, Silver Peak and Primum, ran satisfactorily. Colenut ha? gone out of favour to some extent, for the principal event at the Forburv Trots, but his friends stih expect him to race well. General Lank is a warm favourite here, many people proclaiming him as unbeatable. However, a great deal will depend upon the state of the track, as it can be very heavy on the Forbury circuit- at times.
