RIG ENTRY LIST According to reports, the nominations for the Franklin meeting to be held at Te Rapa on March 0 are exceptionally large. The secretary, Mr. W. J. Short, is in "for a busy time, as several of the events appear as though they will have to be divided. OX TOP OP LIST The latest track efforts of Subadar indicate that lie will run prominently at Te Rapa next Saturday. The son of Bulandshar and Rulette is at the top of the handicap; still he is a big solid colt that •should handle weight well. TiOOKS THE PART Since racing at the Auckland summer meeting Mr. Rosa has not been asked to do any hard tasks. He is very bright and healthy and has developed into an attractive looking two-year-old. This juvenile conies from a great family, and it will surprise If he does not uphold its reputation. MAKING GOOD HEADWAY Since joining D. J. Arnott's team Kronos has gone on the right way, and it will not be long before he is ready to race. Last season Kronos put up several good performances, and he should do even better now that he has a bit of age on his side. This galloper may be seen in action next month. ENGAGED AT TE RAPA After being off the scene since last spring, TakU Kara is due to reappear at the Waikato meeting, where lie figures in the Beerescourt Handicap. The distance, one mile, will suit the son of Bamburv and Te Ngeru admirably, and if produced in the right condition he will keep the opposition busy. As Taku Kara is a capable galloper under winter conditions, a good future should be in store for him.
