G. K. YUKE

By far the biggest team racing at Ashburton today will be that trained by the president of the club. Ted Lowe. Ten of his team were listed among the acceptors for the 10-race programme.

In addition, another tor'mer member of his team,* is in the Seafieid .Handicap. Lowe is still a -part-owner of this pacer. • Possibly Ganelon will be; Jthe best winning prospect "among the Lowe horses. He in the Patching Centennial the second leg of Uhe T-A.B. double and also a ♦T.A.B. quinella race. C Ganelon has a strong form

background, his last five! ,I starts having resulted in a I win, three seconds and aj fourth. His most recent plac-1 ing was a head defeat at the; J hands of Alec Pe erson in! ‘the Methven Cup last Satur- ■ day. Ganelon is a dour sta-i ver and in a truly-run race.| he should be too strong fori i most of his rivals today. Ii Lowe will parade three i capable pacers in Alcester,l

Kheredin and West Street in the Durbar Handicap, with; West Street making strong appeal after a most unlucky fifth in the Four-year-old; Stakes at. Methven last! week. Wes't'Street is highly! talented and wil) :only havej to reproduce a peak run to! be the hardest to beat in his i event. Okere (Hinds Handicap), , I Cap Duhaine (Eiffelton

Handicap), Adjo (Mount, i Somers Handicap), The Raider (Rokeby Handicap) and Waterton (Seafield HandiI cap) are other members of I the Lowe team engaged (today. i Cap Duhaine. a four-year-j 'old gelding by Armbro DeL ifrom Tinonui, will be having; jhis first start. He created a (good impression when he, qualified recently in 3min 15.2 s for 2400 m. He is bred to stay and should master the 3200 m quite competently. Lowe’s other representatives have rather mixed form, but their best efforts have been good enough to land them in or near the money in their respective events.
