LATE SPORTING

OTAGO HUNT CLUB’S RACES. This fixture is for to-morrow at Win-ga-tui, the first race starting at 12.30, the last at 5.30. In a Special way it is a picnic meeting, what may bo called a race outing; lint it must mot bo forgotten that for the men who like to have a bet the totaliisator is at. their service. “Old Identity” writes:—The course was to-day in splendid order, and will bo pretty fast for this season if the weather holds. 1 think that on this occasion there will he less need than usual for putting questions as to whether this or that horse is “having a fly,” because the stakes offered are big enough, plus the maclu.no money, to make the.se sort of horses try. They are a very fair lot of (heir class, but not the top-natchors whose policy would be to wait. The best class are in the Kennels Handicap, and these are all well prepared and pretty forward, except Primum, who is a bit too forward, having died a few days ago. My idea is that the following liorses arc likely to run well in some race or the other: Cartoon, Silk Rein, Baldowa, Linmark, Tokomairiro, Tornea, Silent King, Twinkle, Orange Bitters, and Galway. ‘ WANGANUI REHANDICAPS.
