Open Sky, will be strongly supported on the first day of the Westland meeting at Hokitika to-morrow. After winning three races in succession on the West Coast holiday circuit she was taken to the Wellington meeting in January and shaped well in strong hack fields. On the first day at Trentham she was fourth to Telegram, La Modelle, and Virginius in a close finish in the Pencarrow Hack Handicap, the race being run in the smart time of Imin 26sec for seven furlongs. Over the extra furlong of the Douro Handicap on the second day she was again prominent throughout and ran on well to dead-heat with Night Rider for fourth. Open Sky has been paid up for in the Williams Hack Handicap and the Miners' Hack Handicap at Hokitika to-morrow.

A three-year-old, Open Sky is the first produce of the Solicitor General mare Broughton Belle, whose dam, Refrain, left a useful winner in Last Refrain. Refrain was by Soldiers’ Chorus from Tohunai. by Sylvia Park from the Captain Webb mare Waimairi. English Horses Arrive The English horses War Game and Edenbridge arrived at Wellington this week in the Port Philip on the way to their Southland owners. War Game, which was bought by Mr A. Chisholm, of Otautau, is a three-year-old (English time) son of Big Game and Tidworth. He won as a two-year-old over five furlongs in England. Tidworth was by Bosworth—Betty, by Teddy—Miss Cavendish, which traces back to the famous Sceptre. War Game will join D. P. Wilson’s team at Mosgicl to be prepared for racing in New Zealand before being retired to his owner’s stud. Edenbridge is a six-year-old (English time) and is to stand at the Lorneville Stud, near Invercargill. He is by the 1940 Derby winner, Point I’Ebeque, out of Euxine, a half-sister to a good winner in Brulette. Edenbridge won three events in England from a mile to a mile and a half and was placed over a mile and seven furlongs. Didham’s Big Team A. E. Didham has by far the biggest team in work at Wingatui, numbering 30 in all, with an unusually large percentage of jumpers. Foxchase has resumed and others in work include Lord Roland, Young Bob, Amorlad, Batal, and Night Fighter. Special Flight, which is partial to autumn and winter tracks, has also been recommissioned. Signal Officer Signal Officer broke down during the holidays and had to be blistered. It is likely that he will be tried again, but his trainer, R. E. McLellan, is not very hopeful about the Salmagundi gelding regaining form. Banks Peninsula R.C.
