WINTER CUP ENTRANTS'
Wingatui Horses Coming North "The Press** Special Service DUNEDIN, July 30. Cassius and Horatius, Wingatui candidates for the Canterbury Jockey Club’s Winter Cup on Saturday, are due to leave for Riccarton tomorrow. They will be accompanied by Cashmere, Plunder, Copperfield and Gay Mood, which are engaged in the Paparua Handicap. The adverse weather conditions experienced at Wingatui during the last few days have interrupted the preparation of these horses. Frost today held up the track work until a late hour, and a heavy track restricted trials to strong pacework. Wealthy, which had been entered for minor steeplechase events at the Grand National meeting, slipped a muscle and will not be persevered with. A nine-year-old gelding by Lord Bobs, Wealthy’s third dam, was the great race mare Desert Gold. He won several races on- the flat, over hurdles and country, but failed to live up to his breeding and good looks.
