Brother to Rona Bay: The yearling brother to Rona Bay will race as Glatlynev, unless l better counsels prevail in the meantime. Possum: Prior to winning the Great Western Steeples at Riverton, Possum had not won any race, although he had been placed in cross-country events. Tidewaiter.* Tidewaiter has been returned to active work and he may be raced at late winter meetings. He had good form last winter in Auckland, but subsequently he failed on several occasions when expected to do well. Out of Hacks:

When Student Prince won the Ngutuwera Hack Cup at. Waverley, he ran out of hack class, but he should 1 soon find a race to his liking in open company over a middle distance.

Poor Class: The maiden class at Waverley was very poor and Golden Pam had no difficulty in winning, the only one to offer any opposition being Fafner. who has yer to race up to the opinions that, are, or Were, held concerning him. 1 Selkirk: Selkirk, who is to race at Trentham in July, has shown improvement in two recent, gallops at Awapuni. Last week ho beat Aero Lad and this week, he was a good trial horse for the much-improved two-year-old. Old Bill. Selkirk should be one ro follow, also Old Bill and Great Legion, among the late-racing juveniles. Spelled: Having won two cup races and filled the rolq. of runner-up iu the Great Northern Oaks and Leger, Wildflower has gone into winter-quarters al) Marton. She is an exceptionally honest and game mare and should have a good season in the new term. Jumpers at Egmont: The handicap for the Egmont Steeplechase, to be run at Hnwera on May 5, gives some idea of how the good junipers will begin the new winter season. Tudor is top with 11.9. Clarion Call has 10.12, Riotous 10.9, and Windsor Lad 10.3. Of this 101, the earliest to win is likely to be Riotous, but it may be a different story in June. Well Related: There, made a. first appearance at Awapuni this week the three-year-old Cuddler, by Tidal from Squeeze, a sister to Caress, the dam of Cuddle. He is fairly forward and possibly may race before August 1. He will carry the colours previously borne by Final t.nd Vadanoe —those of Mr S. Andrews.
