CAPET OUT OF HOMEBY
Hillis Rides Tadpole Capet will not run in the Homeby Steeples at the Christchurch Hunt Club’s meeting today, today. "Capet has a doubtful leg and I daren’t risk giving him a race with 11-2,” said his trainer, W. J. Hillis, yesterday. Hillis will now ride Capet’s stablemate. Tadpole. in the Homeby Steeples. It will be Tadpole’s first experience of the Riccarton fences. Big Chief, one of the hurdling finds of the season, is at Riccarton preparing for the Grand National Hurdles. This hollow-backed Scarlet Emperor gelding jumped four hurdles at Riccarton yesterday. His jumping was neat. Big Chief, which is trained at Ellerslie by C. Owen, won the Winter Hurdles at Trentham on July 16. After about two miles and a quarter he had a head to spare from the faster-finishing Fend, which will arrive from the North Island with his stablemate. County, this morning. Fend is this year’s Great Northern Hurdles winner and County improved a good stable record by winning the Trentham Hurdles on the first day of the Wellington winter meeting. J. W. Winder, who trains both horses at Cambridge, races Fend in partnership with Mr C. M. Sim.
