PLANS FOR HIGH CASTE

Although lie won only by short margins, the performances of High Caste at -the Auckland Baeing Club.sSummer Meeting atyEllerslie stamped, him as the best two-year-old that has raced in the Dominion this season, and much interest will be centred in his efforts in Australia. It is probable that he could have won the Great Northern Foal Stakes by a wider margin if he had .been ridden right out to the end, and in twice defeating the brilliant Beaulivre he revealed distinct class and superiority.

All going well with him after his arrival at Melbourne, the first race High -Caste may be called upon to contest in Australia may be the Futurity States, of £3000, weight-for-age, with penalties and allowances, seven furlongs, at Caulfield on February 25. .The race is one that is seldom attempted by two-year-olds, arid the last winner was Palmer, who carried 5.12, and won. from nine others in lmin 29-Jsec in 1900.. High Caste will be thoroughly; tested if opposed to a horse of the class of Ajax, and a real line on his worth should be secured from his form in: Melbourne.

If his connections decide to miss the Futurity Stakes with him, there are several richly-endowed two-year-old rapes, such as the V.R.C. and A.J.C. Sires' Produce Stakes, that should suit him. '
