McCarten is still premier horseman. Great Easter and Great Autumn acceptances close on Friday. The fielders are still wearing that Trentham smile! Will the Awapunl punters have better luck? Sunny Loch, the Winner of the Thompson Handicap, did not incur a penalty as the result of his success at Oamaru th e previous Saturday. His double figure dividend was enjoyed by very few local punters. Qeranial was nominated for Wellington but was not handicapped, following a decision to bar him until his manners at the barrier are improved. It is said that Thespian, one of Absurd's best, will go to the stud next season. As he is now only 5 years old, a long and successful career should be ahead of him. Twenty horses arived by train for th e Awapuni meeting yesterday. Suggestion is to contest the Prince of Wales Handicap at Manawatu, and will be riden by J. O’Shea. Suggestion may afterwards go on to Ellerslie to contest the Easter Handicap. H. Gray will ride Winning Hit in the Awapuni Gold Cup.
