Derby is being run to-day. The New Zealand Cup will be decided on Monday. The Melbourne Cup w:ll bo decided ou Tuesday next. The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Cup will be run on Tuesday. Kidditord's pair Menelaus and Mascot are worth a half sovereign m the New Zealand Cup. Detroit, Volo and Cynic will run well in the New Zealand Cup on Monday. Wrestler, Mortham and Kilboyne are spoken of as likely to catch the judges' eye in the rich Stewards' btakes. __ There is still an "if" about Volo starting in the New Zealand Cup. Backers are puzzled as liis name appears in the acceptances for the Welter. There was a big run on yesterday in Christchurch to back Sasanof. The woolbrokers have still got this horse very tight. The Press Association neglected this paper last evening with the acceptances. They sometimes forget that we buy all sporting for our numerous readers. FLEMINGTON NOTES. DESERT GOLD'S NEW.
