LAVISH MOVES WELL

MORE RIDERS FOR OTAKI

(Special to the "Evening Post.")

PALMERSTON N., This Day,

Awapuni stables have not a big representation at Otaki, but the horses that have been entered were given useful tasks yesterday morning. The course proper was available and the going was in first-class order. The nags were out in the centre. Balbus (S. Anderson), who comes in on the secorid day at Otaki, had the Lackham —Seasprite four-year-old from Coyle's stable to carry him along over the first three of a five-furlong flutter and he completed in lmin 6 1-bsec. Lavish (Mansfield), who races on the first day at Otaki, ran five furlongs an lmin 6 l-ssec, doing her work attractively. W. J. Broughton has been engaged to pilot her. Morrath (Anderson) and Manawatu (W. E. Pine) were galloped seven furlongs, and the former set the pace. Manawatu was not permitted to loaf, and he finished solidly to beat Morratn by a couple of lengths." Morrath was allowed to drop out of her first-day engagement for Otaki on account of soreness, but she may be in on the second day. Manawatu's next engagements are at Hawke's Bay. Body line (Anderson), who is to contest the Huia Handicap at Otaki, was sprinted hall a mile, not being bustled to complete in 92 2-ssec. Anderson will have the Otaki ride. Salt Spray and Petrarch have returned from Auckland much the worse for wear, and a third member of the active brigade from the McDonald stable, Tiger Bill, is also out of action. B. Liddall, who rode Tiger Bill at Foxton, and who was sent to hospital as the result of the smack from Royal Banquet, is progressing satisfactorily, his injuries being much lighter than anticipated. _ • Prince Reno (W. J. McDowell) and Star Flier (M. H. Nicol) were sent over the schooling hurdles, the latter jumping attractively. . Mrs. A. W. McDonald has received a couple of yearlings from Mr. T.- H. L Mding engagements for Otaki have been announced as under: —S. Anderson, Bodyline, Peter Jackson, Mister Quex, Bazaine (second day), and Balbus (second day); J. McFarlane, Hunting Lodge; W. J. Broughton, Lavish; and W. E. Pine, Cosmic Ray.
