At the present stage, Diahok" is favourite for the -Wanganui Cup, and tug black horse has been- so extensively- backed straight out and in doubles that; the bookmakers are not anxious to quote him .'. at any price. There is, however, no guarantee, that he will, start .favourite to- ■ morrow. .■..■■■. An effort was made - to secure the -services of J.
