Tobias Fancied In Queen City Pace
“The Press” Special Service AUCKLAND. Tobias might be the hardest to beat in the $5OOO Queen City Pace final at Alexandra Park tomorrow night in spite of his failure on the first night of the
Auckland Trotting Club’s meeting. Obviously improved by last week’s race, he was impressive when he beat Monsignor and others in fast time at barrier trials at Pukekohe on Tuesday. James and Loyal Knight will also be in demand and there is sure to be strong support for the Light Forbes—Half Moon bracket and Meadow Bank. Stylish Major. Highland Flight and Uteena may do best in the National Trot Final, the second leg of the T.A.B. double. If the weather keeps fine the track will be in perfect order.
