ACREMAN'S NEXT
CHAIN ACRE PROMISING
(Special from "Early Bird.") - . AUCKLAND, March 15. Acreman was a shade disappointing in his outings at"Taurariga, .albeit he ran two.fair races. This',hack has. a lot of speed and stamina, and when he has had additional race experience he should make good in open .'company.. His next race may be in the valuable Hack Cup at Paeroa on Monday, and it will be interesting to see how he shapes. ' . .■"'.' The. Pukekohe two-year-old ..winner Chain Acre is in the juvenile handicap at Paeroa on Monday, "arid""it is probable he will be produced. He is a fine big youngster endowed, with.more speed than the average juvenile with his physique, and if he, reveals the early; pace he did when he won earlier in the month he will make it difficult indeed . for 'the more experienced opposition. ~^ vm- v»ue-mne vjreat Northern Steeplechase winner Smiling Thru and Riotous in the cross-coun-try event at Paeroa on -Monday is a reminder that the big winter jumping races are not so far: off, .with' only six weeks to the opening of ,the jumping season proper at Hawera and the Great Northerns only ten w.e.eßs away. Riotous has had the racing this season to fit him for coming steeplechase contests at-Paeroa ai^d-SHerslie, and he should give a good' account off himself. ■■•■■ ■"' • '"
