RACING AT WANGANUI

TO-MORROW'S FINE CARD

SOME HORSES IN FORM

The fields carded for the first clay of the .Wangauui Jockey Club's Autumn •electing to-morrow arc of quite useful allround quality, and there is every promise ot a most successful dny!s sport being staged. "Air:, events'.' except "the open sprint are likely, to bo of two-dividend dimensions, and are of Van average ■size to appeal to investors. The track should be in excellent order. After the recent Egmont and ■ Taranaki Meetings .there is plenty of form to. 'assist in .the -. solution of mpst of the problems. ' "I he programme and prospects are:— 12W5—W.EST.MKKE HUBDLK S. or 100 sors: one mile four furlongs and a quarter. Eoyal Aero .v-io-ia-Culiapat ..... f'3 -Tunbrldsre .; M.4 Oasform .... 9 ft.

Of .those who have recently • been racin« the ;l>?st ■may be the .top-weight; Royal Acre, -aiKl. Gallapat, between; whom ■preference must be for the; latter, ivho twice beat . Joyal Acre at New Plymouth' oil -worse terms than ■ those-on which they are meeting to-morrow. At the shorter distance ; Whisogne may also show to better advantage. .Among the fresh .horses most appeal is niad,e by Conjurerll., /n-ho,, won the Century Jnirdles on the course iji the spring. A good pair may be Callapat and Conjurer I.2S.—JUIDEX EACE, of 80 isots;"'sii fur- " ".. " longs: ■ ■'•■; . .■■■ /'■- ' ft lb ; : Bt 1b g°y ■■> & 0 Davistock ..so Sea Scout ..

S 0 Millowraere . -8 0 Jadarino' s 0 The field engaged in:the Maiden Race does not comprise a. very bright" lot, but a few of them" have shown" sonio promise recently. Master Arausio, Davistock, and -Uorrath hare'each raced well on occasions, and they may elicit'the1 main patronage. ■Morrath is due for a win, as she has thrice been second in her last three starts, -and-the Australian-bred Davistock is an improver whose turn should not be far olr. Another pair /who have a lot of speed are Callan and Jadarino, but they have as often; disappointed as pleased. Jadannos Egmont running was hardly ■indicative of early, success, for in' the race in which' she' finished third she" was ,tett lengths behind; the second horse. The .winner looks as"though it will come trpm those named, and the' best-of them ,may.be Davistock and Morrath. : • ■: 2.3.—JUVENILE HANDICAP, of SO sors; live furlongs. ■■' „ .

Cavendish, and a winner in a similar event at .New Plymouth on Saturday-; The: best of _, the- other two-year-olils~ may be "Amyril, ";wlio should be improved with her Egmont experience. The older horses, Ha'mpden, "Furlong, and Paioneone, are all possibilities, but Hainpden, caught- in his best , frame, would be the hardest of them, in '.spite of his weight. Ar'pair' who should perform: well are Miss ■ Cavendish' and Hampden. :■■...,..,'._ . ; ... ■•. ■ ' "2MS.—EAKLE > STAKES," 'of' 200' soys';" one -,■ . . mile and'a 'quarter., ~ .. .-' Bt lb : ' ' ■". st lb Jlahora . 0 0 Grand Jury .. 710 King Colossus SO Shrewd .... 7 7 ■ Ariklra 8 9 Monalof 7 :'Z ■ High Falutin' 8 3 Flower ;.:'.. 7 0 Joie do Val .8 1 Monsogno ..7 0 .The Earle Stakes has drawn an attractive field, and the* fancy "bf 'bettors is likely to range widely. As King Colossus . appears to have made a good recovery from ■ his Manawatu Cup mishap he may be expected to put up a bold bid,! and it iis ■ probable that he will be favourite. At his ".best he would be a class outside that of Most of. his opponents. Mahora looked on ithe improve ,at Pahiatua, .but has ; enough weight, and more formidable opponents for the three-year-old may be the -duaU-Egmont and Taranaki Cup winner, Arikira, and the course-trained, Grand Jury, who has recently won. tlie To.xton • and'Ashhurst Cups: Arikira has struck a fine patch of form, but he1 is now mounting" in the weights,' though' perhaps1 he has not'climbed far enough yet to be - checked.' Others with remoter chances are Joie de Val, High Falutin', "and Shrewd. , Summed a pair .who make big appeal are King.

Hack Handicap, and most of the .runners ' will be supported. ' Chief Savage should go well in spite of his weight, but three who make rather more appeal are Manawatu, : Earthquake, and Tigerism. Manawatu has failed when backed once' or twice lately, '. but there is no doubt that he knows how to, gallop. Earthquake has Poverty Bay . fbrnr to recommend her, but it is not certain that she -will be on hand. Tigerism did not race on the Taranaki'circuit, but : he made a good impression when he won at Awapuni during-the holidays., Others , who require .consideration are 'the New Plymouth winners, Bon-Eve and Atteh- ..' tive, also Thrasher, judged, through his - Foxton and Pahiatua efforts. It is not .; easy even to point to the possible 'favbm>: ,' ites, but two who should make creditable showings are Manawatu and Earthquake Cor Tigerism);'- : ' . .. : ■■■ ■ 4.IS.—PETRE HACK HANDICAP, of 80 soys;' , . six furlongs. st lb ' ■ . ■-. st lb The Tiger' 0 13 Captain Dan . 7 9 Orby's Choke: 8 8 Mqatoa .... 7 6 Hjstrida ... 8 0 Pass On 7 2 Haulbowline .7 11 Sanguine King 7 0 Barbaean ..7 9 Silver Fern .. 70 The Tiger is now a long way up in the -■weights, but, judged through his victory at New Plymouth la6t Thursday under 0.3, 'lie is capable of handling a solid impost,. ■■■«nd as :the class of the field in the Petre Hack Handicap is comparatively moderate .he may add further to his quickly accumulating successes here. He has wonderful speed, and he was lengths out in front ..at the finish of his latest effort. The opposition is nevertheless stronger than that which he met last week, and. with '. their field in the handicap, Orby's Choice, " Haulbowline, Barbaean, and Captain Dan may make him show whether he can fight. Orby's Choice has not been racing up to Bis best, nor has Barbaean, but • Haulbowline and Captain Dan. are both recent winners. The last-named scored at his one start on the recent Taranaki' circuit, and if the race has worked any improvement in him he may prove one of ,The Tiger's doughtiest rivals. A likely pair read to be The Tiger and Captain ■-- Dan. S.O.—FLYING HANDICAP, of 130 soys; ■ •; - •..''. sir furlongs.

Cry; have all' the form in' the race, and it is ypry clear .that the public will cohmio their attention principally to them.' Lady Qnex is uudoubtedly hi great heart at present, but: HuntingiCry should, be imprQY.ed. with, the t^vo, races he had last; week, and if'-lie is remaining sound he may: "? a iinueh harder .proposition for the mare to-morrow .at 51b. better terms .than .those nt which -they-met in, the Taranaki Stakes, when he finished'two lengths'behind her. It ,is_ probable that Lady' Quex "will be favourite, but Hunting, Cry.looks'.to h'ofd: an eveu chance with "her, ior pei'haps a shade better one.' The other three in the' race make no special appeal as against the: t6p'i)air,.'but Pdhip may put up- a 'fightas he has lately'beeri working well aiid has a big pull in the weights.
