OAMARU CLUB’S MEETING

f STRONGER FIELDS FOR HACK RACES 5 ASH-AEGINA MAY BE WINNING DOUBLE 2 Fields for the second day of the M Oamaru Jockey Club's meeting to-day, • particularly in the hack races, are b stronger than they were last Satur3 day. Betting will probably be well J spread on the Waitaki Hack Handicap • and the Farewell Hack Handicap, ' S these races forming the totalisator , !j double. , 3 The well-performed Riccarton mare, 3 Ulster Queen, has been scratched for - the Waitaki Hack Handicap, and the i ■ Marlborough winner. Royal Saga, has , been scratched for the Waitaki Hack Handicap and the Farewell Hack Handicap. , « Milton. a winner at Invercargill last 2 Saturday and at Riccarton at Faster, • will probably be a pronounced fav- « ourite for the Waitaki Hack Handicap Jif he fulfils that engagement. His ' • programme has not been announced. S but he will probably race again at «* Invercargill. * Ash. which raced well over longer S journeys at Riccarton for a win, a second, S and a third, has good prospects of exSt tending his record if Milton is missing g from the field, though he should be 2 thoroughly tested by Jock Scott Silver 2 Standard, Lady Milling, and possibly Dele tective. g The Riccarton-trained Defaulter mare, ? Aegina, may master her weight of 9-5 in ■ the Farewell Hack Handicap. She deciB lively won the Parkside Hack Handicap 4 under S-10 last Saturday, and that race 4 has probably Improved n*r. Aegina will ■y be fully extended by the Defaulter filly, Deraa. which recorded her first win at the ‘ Canterbury Jockey Club's autumh meeting. If she begins smartly Deraa should be prominent with her handy weight of 7-7. t Obier smart gallopers in the field are What Next, Gay John, Airspeed, Silver • Standard, and Surfside. What Next and J Silver Standard have other engagements. Detention, the runner-up to Flying I Sovereign in the Oamaru Cup, will be 4 i i pronounced favourite for the Gardiner . Memorial Handicap. Of his seven oppon- ’ • ents, Detract and Home Circle miy pro- | } vWe strongest opposition. ’ i Ris Lordship has good prospects of ’ r completing a double among the sprinters • the meeting in the Elderslie Handleap. [ LThe Lord Bwe four-year-ald won nlr- . rOWly but well last Saturday, after dwtli ling slightly at the start. Bosun, which did net race last Saturday, showed smart ■ form Carly tn the season and ran fair l races in top flight company at the New i Zealand Cup meeting. If he ean pro- ! *dure one of his best effort* Bosun should • ? out sprint the others in this weak field, i , £ Last Saturday Open Range carried 10-6 i Bto a .decisive Win In the Autumn Hiih- < | weight Handicap, and his rise of 91b in ' jthe weights should not stop Mm from , ..making another bold showing. The Winga- . tul trainer. J.' A. Wilson, prepares two (well-performed candidates. Chasemint and Don t Listen, which, however, race for different owners. Last Saturday Chasei ; mint ran second to Thisbe In the Wind- ■ rsor Hack Handicap, and Don't Listen fin- . ished solidly to dead-heat for third in the high-weight Fun Tilt will have many ... supporters on the strength of his second to Open Range last Saturday. So will Fedlo. if ht is started here instead of io I the Gardiner Memorial. Radio was a close fourth in the Oamaru Cup on the J first day. .
