"The Press" Special Service

CAMBRIDGE, June 12. Braemar, the winner of last year's Wellington Steeplechase, will again . attempt the big Trentham race, according to his trainer, J. W. Winder, of Cambridge. A. T. Haitana. who rode Braemar to. run a close second in the Great Northern Steeplechase, will again ride the Balloch gelding, who has trained on solidly at Cambridge since his testing Ellerslie race. Braemar has been entered both on the flat and over country at the coming Hastings meeting. His programme for that meeting will be decided next week. Braemar’s trainer also plans to attempt the Wellington Steeplechase with Ringlock, the recent winner of the McGregor Grant Steeplechase at Ellerslie. J. S Humphries, who won on Ringlock there, will again ride the Ringlight gelding, which has been most consistent over fences. Ringlock, too, is training on soundly and is a likely candidate over country at Hastings. Sybeau. another member of Winder's team, will probably race over seven furlongs at Hastings prior to tackling the

major Trentham flat events. He showed good form in winter conditions at Trentham two years back when he won his way from hack class. Turned Out (N.Z. Press Association) PALMERSTON NORTH, June 11.
