Racing ALL EYES ON SHOW GATE

No single South Island entry for the Wellington Cup "meeting will attract greater interest than Mr G. B. Thomson’s speedster, Show Gate.

She has been entered for the Wellington Telegraph Handicap and George Adams Handicap for her first campaign outside the South Island, but in the meantime

! she will appear in less formidable company in the Munro Handicap, second leg of the Kurow Jockey Club's T.A.B. double today . Show Gate will concede from 5 to 11kg to the other ■ sprinters, but class sprinters carry weight well, and it will be a major surprise if she is beaten todav. Solar Flight, a member of the powerful Winsloe stable, and Totara Maid, second in

I her last three races, should I be top contenders in the ■first leg, the Kurow Cup.
