NEW PLYMOUTH TODAY

I Drum Roll For , First Leg “The Press” Special Service t NEW PLYMOUTH, March 9. Drum Roll is sure to be favourite : for the Paul Memorial Handicap, first leg of the double on the second 1 day of the Taranaki Jockey Club’s meeting tomorrow. He is the form horse, but is likely to be well tested by Alonsun and Brookside, which ran sound races on Saturday. An even field in the second leg. the Urenui Handicap, is headed by Conkers King, which seems to be right back to form. Lennox Boy and Napoli have been showing distinct improvement.
