RACING ORARI HORSES MAY GO TO ELLERSLIE

Arctic Sun, Compensate, Napoleon Bonaparte

The Orari stablemates, Arctic Son, Compensate and Napoleon Bonaparte, have been nominated for major races at the Great Northern meeting. Whether the trip comes off will depend largely on how they race on Saturday—Compensate and Napoleon Bonaparte at the Otaki meeting at Trentham and Arctic Sun at Ashburton.

Arctic Sun is an acceptor | for both the hurdles and the steeplechase at Ashburton on Saturday. “He will start in both races,” said his Orari owner-trainer, P. H. C. Stock, last evening. Arctie Sun followed the nme programme at Ashburton this time last year. He did not pay a dividend tn either race, but these runs did much to fit him for his winning run in the Otago Steeplechase at Wingatui loon afterwards. Arctic Sun and Napoleon Bonaparte have both been nominated for the- £4025 Great Northern Steeplechase, which will be run on June 5. Arctic Sun has been entered tot the Great Northern Hurdles on June 3, and if the trip comes off Compensate will start in the £lBOO Cornwall Handicap, one mile and a-quarter, that day. Compensate and Napoleon Bonaparte will be sent north tomorrow for feature races at the Otaki meeting on Saturday. Compensate is second topweight with 9-0 in the Ta Timi Kara Handicap, the first leg of the double. This will be the Balloch gelding’s first race since he won his fourth Nelson Cup brilliantly on April 22. Napoleon Bonaparte Improved a good record for his Fairlie owner, Mr A Mitchell. by winning the hurdles at Amberley last Saturday. Napoleon Bonaparte jumps country brilliantly and has won two races In that role, the latest being at Riverton at Easter. Napoleon Bonaparte is second top-weight in the Nepia Winfata Memorial Steeplechase over the Trentham course on Saturday. He is second top-weight
