RACING AT FOXTON

TOMORROW’S CARD HORSES in likely form The acceptances have provided welldistributed and useful-quality fields for ' the Foxlon Racing Club’s Spring Meet- • irig'at Foxton tomorrow, and, as an- „. other Jink in . the spring carnival that • opened in the Dominion with the Wa- . nganui. Meeting last week, the fixture should produce a valuable line on form ’ for following meetings. The field for tire Gold Cup has been, reduced to ■ seven, just half its nomination strength . V numerically, 1 but the race should still be an.interesting encounter. What the club has lost in its size is more than compensated for with a nearly-full ac- . ceptanco for the open seven, due to Gay Boy, Full Throttle, and Miss Hushabye forgoing their Cup engage- . ment ion the shorter event. ~ Although in the midweek there was a change in the weather, the .prospects. are again for .fine conditions overhead tomorrow, particularly at Foxton, which is usually well favoured f in' thfe spring. Advice this morning states that tne Whirokino road is clear. ; The course is one of the best in the Dominion at : this period .of the year. The betting will be under the singlev pool system, to which the club revert- - ed at-the last Winter Meeting. ” ’ The fields and a review of the form are as follows: (2.0 ■ ■■ /’ TRIAL STAKES, SBO"; 6 furlongs. ■ Crown Acre S' 5-Jlirth ........ .8 5 .

Kla Ora .... 8 5 ■ Only'four of the field in the Trial ■ Stakes' have raced this season, but they all gave promise of early im- . :: provement. Kia Ora was third at New Plymouth, in one of High .Test’s races, . -Mirth ran fifth on the first day at Wanganui, and Patagonia and Mazzini were both running on in races at Wanganui. Liane has been working well at Trentham, and The Pawnbroker is fairly ■ forward' for early racing.. A • favoured pair may be Mirth and Liane. 12.40 PAIAEI HURDLES. £ 100; 1 mile and 5 furlongs.Royal King ... 10 3 Careful ...... 8 0 Red'Rufus ... 10 0 Otauru King .. 8 0 : Court Anna .. 913 Airforce ' 9 0 Bazalne If 11 Youaslpof .... 9 0 . , . Llmulus .... 910 As first and second respectively in their only - start at Wanganui. Court Anna and Royal King are the form . horse* for-the Paiaki Hurdles, and. the former; looks, still handily weighted. If Red Rufus can jump he would take a lot of beating, for he has won in open* class on the flat. Baizaine is another newcomer, but Limulus has been tried once in the role and jumped poorly, though she carried quite a lot of money. Careful may be the like-liest-lightweight. Two who will probably be well backed are Court Ama and Red Rufus. - t.» _ . lioicm HACK, £80; 6 furlongs.

' When'he won' at Awapuni in July •Terry wax-third. Windward and Gar? ' ter Red might also make a showing. . A pair who may carry ■ support are Finnesko and Dorado. ■ 2.0 ■ • ; - CARNARVON GOLD CUP, £175 ; >lVi tulles,. DUngatvan ... 92.

Ferse»; on form, would appear his most, ■ formidable opponent, but there nre possibilities about all the other five, with Lapel the one who may Trouble - the form pair most. The public are likely; to select West Tor and Fersen. ' 2.45 • POSTON HACK AND HUNTERS’ STEEPLES, . ' ’ £B3; 2U-miles.

Stroller has the best claims for further success in the Foxton Hack and - Hunters’ Steeplechase, but Taura Lad (winner at Foxton in May) and Hym- ‘ great now come in at better terms - than ,at New Plymouth and will be ’ better »uited by the track. Then there ■ are Invictu* and Kaola, who were in the money In higher than hunters class ■ ' during the winter. It should be a keen ' betting race, and a pair who may ius- '■ tify-their support are Stroller and Hymgreat. ■ 3.30 • - AWAHOU HACK, £BO. and cup value £ls; 0 furlongs. ■ - hunting Maid . 9 0 Otald 7 9 .

Cloudy Bay and Ruaforin filled minor places at -Wa- ' nganui, the former after sulfepig interference; and Whetuma. who ;was - fourth last week, looked better than he ever has. Middle may go, further than he did at Wanganui, and the dls- - appointing. Sdegmund, once he got round the turns, came home unexpectedly well. Warehi and Taumau were first and second respectively , over the distance at-Awapuni in July- It is ' therefore not an easy issue to sort out, but a pair, who may show up are Hunting Maid and Whetuma. <■>» : ,

Handicap, but fresh horses - such as Jubilee Song and Bodyline might upset them. Jubilee Song has won' at the last two meetings on the course, and Bodyline, who has been working attractively lately, put up a '' sequence of wins early in the spring last year. Miss Hushabye is always a-possibility, and it will be interesting to note if Severe gives any promise of returning to form this season. The favourites may be Gay Boy and Eull Throttle. 4.SS ■ • ■ MOUTOA HACK, £75; sft furlongs. First Chapter . 9 0 Airing 7 13 _ KusUm 8,5. Terry • ,"•••.

All the others excepting the maiden Martara have won only one.event each during tneir career to date, and it is mot easy to understand why they are so distinguished In the weights. If the top pair* fall anything might win,'but past performance points to First Chapter and Rustem.
