A BIG PROGRAMME.

KINDERGARTEN FOCUSES

ATTENTION

HORSES WITH PROSPECTS,

Indications at the moment point to the Auckland Racing Club having a very suecess:Hl opening on Saturday of its autumn meeting. Alter a period of intermittent showers, some or them exceptionally heavy, the sun is shining, conveying the impression that we may now have a spell of fine weather. If this turns out to be the case, the track conditions should be first-class and the racing not lac-king in interest.

The champion three-year-old colt Kinder* garten, with eight comparatively effortless victories in succession to his credit, lias been almost the one topic ot conversation during the week in connection with the Easter Handicap, despite the fact that he is top-weight with 9.11. As usual in connection with a horse so much in the public eye, there have been all sorts of rumours current regarding him, some of them having reference to the possibility of him not going to the post, and others as to the identity of his jockey.

! Tlie position this morning resolved itscli' | into a reaffirmation by R. S. Bagby. i trainer of tbe colt, that : Kindergarten j would > start. "Mr. Fitzgerald, Kindergarten's owner, lias not yfefc arrived from Gisborne," said Bagbv, •lit even so I have no knowledge of anjgj alteration to the plan to start I H- X. Wiggins, who liasltifeen associated ) with Kindergarten in all his wins this | season, has told the writer that one rumour that he had been engaged to ride Brouwen in the big rnile race, another that be would be astride Monte Cristo, were contrary to fact —that his mount iu the Easter is Kindergarten. i The Champagne Stakes is likely to provide a spirited contest between Route March, Premature and Burra Sahib, but there is also good material for a surprise , in this si* furlongs race for two-yeai-olds. The Great Northern Oaks, too, promises well. as Gay Rosette and Duvach. who ure among the acceptors for the Easter j Handicap, are almost certain to throw j down the gauntlet to Belle Cane, a star i performer in the spring and early summer, after which she lost form. , The acceptances for the eight events on i Saturday arc exceptional'}- heavy and the , club has found it necessary to provide : for divisions in the Onslow Stakes and I the Eden Handicap. j Betting will -be on the win and plaoe system and the -followina horses are likely i to run prominently:-^ Onslow Stakes.—First Division: Cambria and Miss Gay.
