CANTERBURY TURF NOTES
[Special to the ‘Star.’] CHRISTCHURCH, October 26. Rapier was out to-day doing steady pace work. He is none the worse for his trip to Trentham, where he ran a solid race in the Champion Plate, a performance which enhanced his fsew Zealand Cup prospects. He will be a starter at Motukarara on Saturday, and will be ridden by C. Emerson, his C’ount Cavour was allowed to stride along in useful -work to-day. Ho is in fine fettle, and a strong gallop to-mor-row should put him in good foim ioi Saturday’s race at Motukarara. Footfall was given strong work today in preparation for something more strenuous to-morrow. Ho is booked for a race in the Akaroa Handicap on Saturday, when ho will be ridden by F E Jones, who has almost recovered from the effects of his fall at Wingatm. Footfall’s Riccarton programme has not been settled definitely. _ Ho has not had tho racing that his trainer desired, and it i,s possible ho will not bo a starter in the New Zealand Cup. In preparation for this contingency ho has been nominated for the Riccarton Handicap on the first day and the Olaio Plate on tho third day.
