FOXTON PROSPECTS
TO-MORROW'S CARD DISCUSSED
Not a few of those in attendance at the Foxton Meeting to-morrow and on Thursday will be unusual visitors to the seaside course, for in the past the Wellington Cup Meeting has proved' the stronger attraction. It remains to be seen whether the club will profit financially by the change, for it has given away a- holiday date, but the result extended over two days should make it well worth while. One. thing in favour of the change is a complete monopoly of interest, another that the best jockeys will all be available, and thirdly the meeting is not prejudiced by any penalising of winners for the Wellington Meeting. , The track is.of sandy formation and does not suit all horses. The first race is at 11.45 a.m. This is.-the
Atareriaand Hymestrason look to have good prospects on .holiday form, but there is just a doubt about Atareria racing, solidly. Rash showed good form at Otaki, when the dividend was extra large for a second placing. Deluge should be suited by the track, "for he had all his early training at Wanganui, the formation of which course is similar to that at Foxton. With his pace he should set this field a good task, and is the one selected. NOVICE STAKES, of 100 soys; six furlongs. . ' Tenacre Star Girl Warzono '. Fine Aero Potshot Bon Aero Otauru lass Bosloma Painting Bione Nasello Reflecto Acre—Temperance g. Snowshoe Austerity Fallow Acredlty Nothing is known of one or two of these, and Acredity"appears to have the best credentials on public form. Painting, the two-year-old brother to Royal Game, was sticking on behind Clever at Woodville in third place.
.. Nightmarch and Toxeuma, of course, have easily the best form, with an, inclination towards Toxeuma, whose seconds to Pegaway and Aussie and third to Red Heckle and Prodice are hall marked efforts. Teri and Kilmiss should be suited by the track, and Discourse and Lady Limond are both Foxton-trained. Discourse, with only 7.0, may set Toxeuma a stiff task. ■' .
The first four have all good form for this class of event. Derruod, who is trained on the beach at Porirua, has disappointed since he won at Marton in the spring. Apprentice allowances may alter the weights, but one inclines towards White Ringlet and First Ruler. AWAHOU HACK, of 120 soys; seven furlongs.
The class, apart from, the topweight, is not good, and he may need the race. Balloon, Bissac, and Aurora Borealis read like a likely trio in the middle o£ the handicap, with a preference for the two first named.
ANNIVERSARY HANDICAP, of 170 soys; six furlongs.
Miss Pat, Epistle, and Callanmore represent the best form, while Helotis, who has disappointed consistently lately, is a possibility on this course.' Monaghan, who has dropped a long way down in the handicaps, has his chance- on a track that should suit him. Epistle and Callanmore are the form horses MAKOTIKI HACK, of 120 soys; six furlongs.
This is practically a maiden plate field. Boundary is a fairly smart galloper. Balloon should shape well if reserved for this event. Greenfield and Kentish Lady, have shown pace, and may be suited by the course. Balloon (if started), and Kentish' Lady may show up. HEItUINGTON HANDICAP, of. 170 soys; seven furlongs.

Betting is likely to be divided between the Foxton-trained pair, Henna and Vigilance. J. S. Potter is to ride Vigilance, and if R. Reed is on Henna that may be the determining factor with bettors.
