DUNEDIN FORM

(Herald Special Service.) The Dunedin Jockey Club lias received an excellent response from owners from all parts of tile South Island for the first day of its centennial meeting tomorrow. The Centennial Cup has a field of 17, headed by the Trenlham-trained j Howe, who, despite his solid ini- ; post, is likely to be one of the , best supported. He will have some i strong opponents, including Signal ! Officer, Spare Part and Indian Dawn, who have all shown recent j winning form in high-class coin- , pany. The President’s Handicap has attracted a good-class field of sprinters, and, as in the Cup, the issue appears to be very open, while the Victory Handicap, one mile, also will set the investors a very difficult task. All the other events have filled | well and the meeting promises to j be one of the most successful in the j long history of the Dunedin club. | The following horses may race J well.
