MANAWATU WINTER MEETING

The Manawatu Racing Club’s Winter meeting will be concluded at Awapuni tb-day. At the time of going to press the prospects are that the .club will be favoured with fino weather and a much larger attendance than on Thursday. The course was in good order for tho opening day, but should be better still for to-day. Tho acceptapces are very good and interesting racing is assured. THE FIELDS.

Powhiri 11 9 Trouble 913 Bisk 10 10 Mandate 912 Huirangi Hinatore 9 7 Girl 10 10 Calculation 9 7 Maidos 10 0 Eight horses have accepted for the Flaxbourne Hunters’ Hurdles.

Maidos carried 10.2 and was two lengths behind Huirangi Girl and Trouble was well back fourth. Mandate (9.12) was close up third in the lliwitca Hurdles. Tho public will probably give most support to Mandate (the bracket) and Huirangi Girl. RANGIOTU HANDICAP (hack cons.), of 100 sovs.; 6 furlongs.

Potoaform and Portray are at tho top of the weights, but tho bracket, Shortly and Pat’s Boy, both ran well on Thursday. Glen Rossie is another with form to Tecommend his chances, also Ruby Dawn. Tho public will most likely go for Portray (the bracket) and Potoaform. LONGBURN HURDLE HANDICAP, of 250 sovs.; 1} miles. Mist. Gamp 11 13 Diana’s Lad 911 Omeo 10 0 Disrank 9 0 Llyn Dhu 10 3 Evg.

Ll.vn Dhu is in with 10.3 and is meeting Dis. rnnk on a stono better terms and with two furlongs further to go Evening I-loro finished third to Disrank on Thursday and will have to improve on his run. Beaumont, one of the fresh horses, is reported to have been going along well in work and must not bo overlooked.

Paddou is meeting Marjoram on a half-stone better terms, while Black Mint, Orazono and Royal Gamo all ran good racQ.s on Thursday. Brilliant Light and Paiko are the newcomers and the latter has good performances behind him. The order of favouritism will probably be paddon, Marjoram and Paikc, KAIRANGA HUNTERS’ HURDLE HANDICAP, of 100 sovs.; li miles.

Taranto is top-weight and the shorter journey will be to his liking. Pat’s Boy has a prior engagement. Ruby DaAvn (9.2) will meet Pat’s Boy on Sibs. better terms. There are many unknown qualities and plenty of room for a surprise, but when tho machine closes the order of favouritism may bo Taranto, Pat’s Boy, Abbey Queen.

Mr. A. Lilc's gelding Omeo Avas the ruling favourite for the Grand National Steeplechase, but his run in the Awapuni Steeplechase, in AA'hich he came down after half the journey had been completed, will probably send him back in the betting. However, he apparently suffered no ill-effects of his fall and avii 1 be a starter in the Longburn Hurdle Handicap to-day. Omeo is by Quarantine out of Mutioness and Avas seven years old yesterday. Ho is trained at Ncav Plymouth by W. F. Mantle.
