POINTERS FOR FUTURE

. (Special from "Hurry On.") _ -." ' NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. Ike Taranaki. Jockey Chib should lhak. , a smalbpi-ofifcon its';recent meeting, which, under.present; conditions, must be considered quite : satisfactory. The racing ■ throughout was' splendid, and.form worked . out very well; on the second day. • The , public, after "then- experience at Christmas , and New Year, have a.full understanding now of, the straight-out and place betting; andtboth hiachines proved popular. ; The outstanding feature of the gathering was the great win of the two-year-old filly, Golden Hair,, oyer.'the older horses in the ; l'aranaki'Sta'k-S-on Saturday. There: was no semblance of :_ fluke :about her victory. She *w: 6nt"Avith'the"--peedy Golden Wings right .from.the jump-out, and then.Jairiy outstayed him in'the run home. Her performance, was. a fine one, and proves that this daughter OfLiniond and Lady Cavendish is a high-class, two-year-old. . She may miss Wangahui and make her next , appearance in the special event for two- , year-olds at the Wellington Meeting next . month..;:,,-. .-■•■—. ■ '. ..Golden- Wings improved greatly on his , showings atTrentham, and>was undoubtedly, a shade unlucky the first day; Hewas , installed a very. solid favourite' in the '. Stakes, but was not quite:good enough. ; However, the softer tracks have had the effect of freshening him up considerably, . and he-Should make amends at the Wood- ; ville Meeting.'". .:...-• ■1- . , Midinette's trainer, W.

Had he been ridden more patiently in the Cup he wduld-probably have beenC second,' and may even have troubled the winner. Then he was unfortunate" ehoiigh 'to be kicked by another horse at the start of the Paul Memorial ,dn Saturday;: and. could ::take no, .part in, the-race. Refresher's trainer, R. Barlow, was very confident that" the.•gelding Would' prove capable of accounting for Golden Wings and Lady Quex in the Flying Handicap on the first day, and.-his judgment, proved correct, this consistent son of Tea Tray winning handsomely. He followed .this; up by-scoring even more easily with 9.0 over seven furlongs : ; on the" second ■ day. '. This made his sixth .win since joining Barlow's stable; last June:- -He will probably race next at, Te Aroha.. '. ...;.:, -. '~.--- --_ The "Waikato "filly, Welcome Lv, went two splendid races.
