RACING Dark Jester Picked At Waimate

The Win£atiii trainer, J. S. McKay could improve a strong record in jumping races in Canterbury with members of his big team at the Waimate Racing Club’s meeting today.

McKay yesterday SteepteeiMM but Dark Jester and Startler will represent the stable In Canterbury’s first cross-country event of the year.Royal Burgh and Silver Paper will run fbr the McKay stable in the Rattray Hurdlas, the first leg of today’s oneours* double. Royal Burgh has not raced ■lnce the spring, but has dona much useful work to condition him for today's test Golden Glen, a dogged stayer from Southland, is likely to be one of the strongest contenders for hurdles honours and Canterbury prospects have been strengthened now that Great Guns’ programme has been settled. Great Gun* is top-weight In the hurdles. He was scratched for the steeples yesterday. High Bank, a winner on his home course at Amberley a fortnight ago, should take beating in the Waltaki Gold Cup, the second leg of today’s on-course double. Petite Arnie wag scratched yesterday leaving 11 in the Waimate Cup, first leg of the T.A.B. double. Light but steady drizzle yesterday afternoon eased the ground and probably ensured a start for the top-weight, Carpenter. This Wlngatui sixyeaDold is holding his form well, and could be one of Manana’s strongest rivals. Carpenter will be ridden by his regular rider, R. N. Marsh. J. R. Dowling will ride Hushaway, which was a stablemate of Manana until a few weeks ago. Gladaub, from Gore, Time And Tide, from Ricearton, and the Washdyke-trained Fairlane and Our Leigh are the strongest fancies for the
