-1 Mme Hot Favourite Wins The first race fell to a hot favour-tig'in Mou Tan Hua, one of the real ra pony "never say die" type, b, year after year, carries on, reminding us of older days when there were famous ponies like Soochow, and many others, on whom we placed our modest bets with confid-@hiee—real "T can't go to the races büt put a ticket on him for me if he bt" ponies.
