WELCOME BOY RESTING,

MASTER NORVAL INJURES FOOT

R. J. Mateer lias had another slice of bad luck through Tveicome Boy developing a bowed tendon. While the ailment is not of very serious nature it has caused the horse to be put aside at a time when there were races within his compass oliering. Valcuir has also gone sore and has been eased up until the tracks become more easy. Streetdanccr, First Dance and Brown Abbey, from the same stable, will be starters at <Matamata on Saturday. The latter will have his first start over the hurdles and will be ridden by F. Thompson. He has been schooled and.shows more promise than usual for a beginner. Woodful and Prince Val bear welltrained appearances. While woodful is expected to run well on Saturday, Prmce Val might want an easier track. However, the class is not too select. Pound Sterling has shown no signs of soreness since coming back from Ellerslic, but he has a suspicious-looking near foreleg. He is expected to run a good race, but would be favoured by rain. R. Martin expresses a doubt about starting Last Lap in the cup on Saturday. Last Lap is also in the Okoroire Handicap and present intentions are that F. Thompson will ride him in that event. This horse will not be troubled with 9.0. Master Norval bruised the frog of a foot on the second day at Takapuna and is being rested in the meantime. Accommodation has been booked here for F. Tiitchen with Killadar. Travelling Agent, Sinking Fund, Ruby Meteor and Ruby Dawn: P. Scally with Chief Cook; E. Pops with The Hiker; W. Stone with Solarium and TeeTs. Other horses expected to-morrow are Ballymoney, Tuahaehe, Caliente and Hampton Park. Matamata Scratchfngs. G. Paul has scratched Kanapa and Trishna for the Matamata meeting out of respect for his late apprentice, G. A. Baker.
