, THE TE AROHA MEETING. i ■ : OPENING DAY TO-MORROW. THE FIELDS REVIEWED. ! The ann'.ial meeting of the Te Aroh.i Jockey Chili will ■■;-;-n to-morrow, and with such good field? engaged there should Ik , some excellent racing. Quite a Inr£r.» numl-or of horses that have raced prominently recently are engaged, an , ! patrons have been set a hard task to select the winner?. The programme will open with the Ruakaka Hurdle Rare for which nine are carded. Archibald is a pood horse, liu he has also n pood horse's impost (11.5*. He failed under weights varying from 11.3 to 11.7 at the Auckland summer meeting. Kawu won the Auckland Hurdle Race at the same fixture with P.O. which was his last appearance. Pendennis is xi-eful and shaped well at Kgmont and Taranaki, winning the Okaiawa Hurdle-, one mile and ahalt at the lirp-t named meeting. lVtor Ros.i has not shown much form this season. l>u: Pentagram ha< performed consistently, beinz ]ilaced in his last thrc<: starts at the summer meeting at Kllor*lie. Uralla won over a mile and five ' furlongs at the recent Te Kuiti meeting, while the l>est of the others ma ( v l>o Gold Rep. Probably Kawn. I'entflfraui and Uralla may he best supported. The Shaftesbury Hack Handicap hae drawn a hip field, but with the £•"> e-weep stake to l.e paid at the post, probably the number will be considerably reduced at time of Starting. Paddon has aol ' raced for a good while, but when he i* .' ripht he is a really pood sort. Dobbin , ran prominently at the Te Kuiti and < Rotorua meetings, while Value does not ' appear to be able to stay out *ix furlongs. Winsome Boy won well over six furlongs at Te Kuiti and should be an improved horse. Tea Time hat not been out of a place this season. He ww second to Schorr over six furlongs at ( tlie \Y:inp.uiui spring meetinp. but eim-c i then his efforts have been confined to shorter distances. Awarere won the Ferry Handicap, seven furlonp*. at Takapuna last month, beating a fairly useful field. King Emerald hlmi scored over a similar distance at the same meeting. Daytaro, j ."some Lady. High Rose and Abbess have • al.-i siiow'n form this season. Probably Dobbin, Award.' and Winsome Boy may l.e In-st fain ivd when the machine close*. dr.lv half a dozen lipuro in the >omers Handicap and some of them have other engagements during the day. I'haol.i ( and Maciooin, in the absence of Flying 1 Juliet nu»y Ix , best backed. The JuvVnile Handicap contain* a lot, ; ..f youngsters of quality. In the Shade raced well ai Takapuna, but there is another from the same sta'.i'.c in Titree. who is a fairly p>oj youngst'T. Probably at the weights Ti-tree will be favourite with In the Shade anl Auri- < ciiiue ne.\t best hacked. ] 1 he chief event uf t)ie day i« the Her- , nori Memorial Handicap. Desert Glow ' has pride of place with S'.O, or Tib more , than i.e carried when he won the Takn- j , puna Jockey Club Handicap, ono mile. j three furlong* and 40 yards. On that ( I occasion he beat Kden Hall and is now. ■meeting the latter on IMb worse terms.' l'e'iham raced urcll at the Rotorua meet-. ing and there ie no reason why he should | not run out a mile and a-quarter. Teg-1 away has won four races in his last five starts, being successful over a mile at ' Kilerslie and over a similar distance at ( ' ■ Te Kuiti. On the latter occasion he had j H.B and beat Pclham. New Moon. Day j Guard and others. With 8.4 he is not' badly handicapped and on the way he has j finished up hie winning efforts he should \ «=ee out an extra two furlong*. Day i (iuard, if allowed to run his own race in , front, would l>c difficult to dispose of, j i but since winning the Te Kuiti Cup in i that manner he has not been permitted to ; do that and failed on the second day and also at Rotorua. Town Bank won this ■ event last year with 8.3 and he has 7.13 to-morrow. At Takapuna he was third in the Cup, one mile and a-lialf, with S.I, and finished second in the Paul Memorial, one mile and a quarter, at the Taranaki meeting. He must !>e among : thot=e fancied, l'haola won the Wai pa j Cup, one mile and n-quarter. with 7.2.; ! Miss Vera was unlucky in the Te Kuiti I Cup. for she should have beaten Day j i Guard. However she made amends at I Rotorua by winning well. Among the' j others is Charlady, who showed some of j ! her old form when she contested the j Rotorua Cup. but got knocked back at I the turn. On the second day *he fin- ; itOied second over a mile. Prohablv Pegaway. Miss Vera ami Charlady will be most in request. The Waihou Handicap has fourteen '■ acceptors. Aussie is a good sprinter, but ' some of the others lower down should ' give him something to do. York AhbeV won over fix furlong* at Rotorua with 5.12 and now has lib le-s. Heisler scored over a similar distance at the .<ame meetinp with B.f> and is now in at 5.4. L-e Choucas it- a g">od horse when properly wound up. hut he has not -!m«n any form for a good while pa*t. Flying Juliet is a likely sort and Serang'.. if properly ridden, may Ik> in the picture at the lini*h. Of the others. Dobbin, Aγcheno and t,»ninette may prove the I When the final figures are adjusted Flying .Juliet. INm-W and York Abbey m.iv be Itest supported. In the Champion IFark Rac P . Rraneon. Wenday and Always, who scored over 8} furlongs at the Stratford meeting may" be the elect. The programme will conclude with the Hot Springe Handicap for which Kinj I Smock. Scat and Merry Damon are likclv j to be best backed. I A special train will leave Auckland I at 0.20 a.m. each day.
