RACING EIFFEL TOWER WAIRIO PICK

"The Press” Special Service INVERCARGILL. The 11250 Wairio Cup, main event and second leg of the TAB. double at the Wairio Jockey Club’s annual meeting at Riverton tomorrow, has drawn a field which would do credit to any metropolitan club m New Zealand. . . It is doubtful if a country club has ever before produced a cup held to include metropolitan winners in open class of the calibre of Eiffel Tower, Court Belle. Ettrick, Manners.. Kumai, Golden Silver and others. „ . The Wairio Cup should provide one of the best tests of any handicap race run in Southland and give a reliable guide for the Riverton Cup, in which almost all of tomorrow’s cup runners are engaged. The Hazlett bracket of Eiffel Tower. Ettrick and Urban, will be dominating favourites as any one of the trio is capable of winning. Bellcara is fancied for the first leg of the T.A.B. double, the Schenley's Gin Hack Handicap. The track will be in excellent order. Selections: — Noen.
