In theFiyi g 1 N T"?, r tO - 3ay Ul "potions aio 10versed, and tlio maro receives 121b. .N lough the pair have not met in the interval despite this the threo-yc r-old may be he best backed to-day, (hough he has tot . 21b ._ a big wcj M for h oi lis age. .Apropos of this, a correspondent points out in reference | 0 the remark which appeared in this column yesterday that a three-year-old in tlio autumn is at his boat, and rarely do they ; improve. ,'i'lio Oiaki Club has decided to hold ils winter meeting on Mondaj and Tuesday, .luiio 1 and 5. The object seems to lie (o havo the opening day on tlio holiday.

3 £,r j be i f? un j to to a mistake, as ; . Saturday and Monday would probably .be • }^oii^y S rS ' aS are Practically both : Last year Indigo was successful in the 1 i pl l e , l i,. C , up Wlth Bst " an <l to-day ho 1 I lias 131b. less to carry. Though he has, . j not won a raco m the interim, the chest- . nut gelding has won nearly £SQO in place money, and lie can be relied upon to ■ fi° ,) to-day.•. The only drawback is that unfortunately he does not seem to I gallop lis best for L. Wilson. This was > particularly noticeable at Dannevirke, j wiiero he was pulling at the turn, and looked all over a winner, but in the end he would not go on with the business. Multifual may be favourite in the l iNapior Cup to-day. Tho Gisborne horse ; is looking a picture, and is working I better than over previously. On Tuesday, alone, ho ran six furlongs in Imin. losec. OX coursc, tho tracks aro very last now, and ono should turn to his public form to assess his chance. At ; Gisborno ho won undeu, 9st., and was ; second with Oat. 121b., but in the last raco ho had to bo ridden right out to beat Dribble, nn<l this docs not cnhjirtco tho value of the form. Again at Gisborne he beat Ladogeur at a difference ft 'Hb., and as there is 181b. between ' thcra to-day, Ladogour should bo wher--1 ever Jlultifual is k A report is current that Ringform lAs .been purchased by a local owner. His late owner is now in camp at Trentham. The Hon. W. D. S. JlacDonald's horses Otara, and Grand Idea are now trained by G. Jones at Green meadows. Kimbombi, who is engaged in tho Hack Hurdles at Napier to-day, is tho makings of a good hurdler, but he is very backward, and will bo better for a race or two. .T. O'Shoa is wasting hard to ride Bjorneborg in tho Napier Cup 10-day. and the local horse's chances aro highlv assessed by his connections. The An£ tralian-bred Hendra, who is cngaged s in tho Hack Weltor Handicap at Napier to-day, was moro than a mutch for Llunishen over a milo at Hastings yesterday. There is a verv'smnrt field of two-year-olds engaged in tho Sapling Stakes, but Silver Tongue, a winner at Wangairai, may bo tho . favourite, as he is nicely placed in tho handicap, and has a big privato reputation. Notata, who is a half-brother to Afidnighfc Sun, will bo produced in tho Trial Stakes at Napier to-day, in which he will only have to carry Gst. 121b. Ho has already shown that ho can gallop, Iby finishing second to .Jlnrquctlcr .at Hastings at tho New Year meeting. The Gisborne horses Mistic and Woodrow couid not arrivo in timn for tho Napier meeting to-day, and have been scratched for their engagements.
