HURDLES AT FOXTON

Ihe hurdle races at the Foxton Meeting ■ue only hack events, but very often the\ ha\e been won by hoipes that ha\e subsequently made good Last J car the fust day's \icloi was Callamart, who won the Gi and National some months later. Distank and Full Mark, who followed him home, have both since been good 'performers In open company. 'On the, secpnd. day. the, winner was Tenacre» who had started in and won the Hernngton* Handicap, an open seven flat ■event, on the- fiist-day. Tenacie is now one of the most .piomising hurdleis m the"land, and is "one o£ whom much moie is likely t^p bo heard. The pair to' follow r hint past the post at Foxton were the* first diy's winner and runner-up, Callamart and 1 Disrank.

In 'tomorrow's field theio aie again Btonie horses who are possibly destined to make fame for themsehes in the department, j Watzone* the topweight, n still well within the class, and even double success- nt, ]To\lon would not remoic her from hack ranks Shu is well performed, and is rathei unlucky not to liaie won more hurdle events.

Easteily and Ai row head aie another pair whom hack ranks may not long hold. Easterly is nearer the hack company outlet than Warzone, and indicated- that she was back to form on the final day at Awapuni. ArrowheadJis comparatively new to the game, but* he has already won twice over fences; andi although he failed at Marton, should be quickly making amends. He is a fine jumper and is likely to take a place among the best of them before his career is much further advanced.
