To-day’s Racing Will Conclude 1934-35 Season

PARADE OF YEARLINGS Tho parade of yearlings -will take placo at 11.10 a.m., and the following youngsters have been carded:— Black Fox, Mr W. lorn's dk br c (Nigger Minstrel—Silver Grey). Patter, Mr W. lorn’s b f (Nigger Minstrel —Table Talk). Jovial Princo, Mr N. Blackmore's b c (Laughing Prince—Thrift). Mirth, Mr N. Blackmore’s b f (Laughing Prince —Mandane). Dawning Light, Mr W. Carson’s br f (Arausio —Aureate). Kinsfolk, Messrs If. and N. Smith’s b f (Posterity—Episode). Lavish, Mr J. P. Coyle’s br f (Limond . —lmprudence). Ladies’ Bracelet The first race is the Ladies’ Bracelet, timed to start at 11.50 a.m., and for this there is a' splendid iield of a dozen rimers. It is over a mile and a-quarter and Lady Arikitoa (winner), Gainsay (second) and Petrarch (fourth) will' bo there to refiight their Mar to n battle. Santoft appears most likely to provide the opposition, and when the .machino closes it may be found that tho public have gone for LADY ARIKITOA, SANTOFT, PETRARCH.

Next is. the Rangitano Plate, run under maiden conditions. There is an aeeeplaneo of 1(5 and the prospect- ot' a great race. Earl Colossus, Garter lied, Popetto, Royal King, Chalice, Frugal', Hilton Corse and Tidal Song -will all have friends, but most support may be accorded GABTEIt RED, EARL COLOSSUS, CHALICE. The Manawatu Hunt Jubilee Cup has drawn an interesting field and a great raco should result. Dozio and Prosy Boy, the last-named a winner at Hastings last Saturday, are bracketed, giving Greenmeadows a strong hand. Awapuni, however, will havo Cardhu, Petrarch and Miss Pango to make it a true test, while Hunting Boy and Taura Lad will help to spread the betting. Recent form, however, suggests that tho best backed will be CARDHU, MISS BANCO, PROSY BOY-DOZIE bracket. The hack sprinters for tho Milsou Handicap are a good'class lot and the issue is very open, with each and every horse having form to recommend

tion on clubs was not only reflected ill .the diminishing returns but in the condition of racing appointments. Clubs, unless in a strong financial position, wero unable to keep up adequate maintenance and repairs, and this was noticeable throughout tho country. Mr Fry said that it was interesting .to note that a.s far as the club was ■concerned taxation exceeded the stakes paid by £SOO. "The Government is certainly killing ■the golden goose,” remarked Mr Graham, ‘‘and unless the powers that be wake up they will shortly find that ithc taxation production will be a mere bagatelle to what was once produced.” The motion was carried with enthus-' ■iasm. Other Business

but were handicapped by lack of finance.

The question of granting facilities to owners and trainers in the way of free carriage of horses to tho club's meetings was referred to by Mr J. B. Bradley, who said that the issue called for attention. The club could not ■raise its, stakes and at the same time .grant additional privileges by way of ■free carriage of horses. He instanced what had happened in the Wairarapa and if the movement extended the clnb might be forced to taka some action. Mr Sandii’ands did not think Feilding had anything to fear over the issue, because the practise really concerned isolated clubs.

Touching upon course improvements Mr Sandilands commended the club ■upon what it had achieved, but suggested that there was one desirable improvement that could be -effected, ■and that was the bend out of the back ■straight. If this were taken in hand dud given effect to, ho was confident ■that it would give general satisfaction ■to owners and trainers. The sevenfurlong start could also be improved, but the greatest immediate advantage could be derived from improving the bend along the back straight. Mr Twigg agreed, and with the president pointed out that the committee had considered the issues raised arid recognised the advantage to be gained,

Another speaker suggested that the Wairarapa club had taken the action as a reply to the Feilding club’s decision to raise its stake money. It had been said that Feilding had waited until the Wairarapa club programme had been issued and had then raised its stakes.

The president denied that anything

Splendid Fields For Manawatu’s Winter Meeting at Awaponi

Wieners are Well Concealed

Splendid lields have been carded for Hie Manawatu Pacing Club’s Winter Mooting, which is being held at Awapuni to-day. The course is in excellent order and as the weather sccnus certain to be fine the fixture should attract widespread interest. The first race is timed to start at 11.50 a.m. and the betting will be conducted on the single pool with two dividends in fields of more than five starters. Prospects and fields are as under:—

it. There is every chance that the resuit will come as a surprise, but three ! that may make most appeal are ; ROYAL FEAST, WINDWARD, ; CELBRRIMUS. Tudor, the winner of the July Steeplechase at Trentham, heads the weights in tho Flaxbourno Hurdles, the acceptances for which are particuai'rly interesting. Tudor and Manawatu are engaged in both C.J.C. Nationals, Billy Boy in the Steeples and Brigadorc, Invictus and Saltspray in tho Hurdles. It is only reasonable to expect that the winner to-day will be one of the above horses, which may be backed in this order: TUDOR, SALTSPRAY, MANAWATU; The principal flat event is the MeEao Handicap, and once the tapes go up there will be no ‘ ‘tarrying by the wayside.’-’ Nine have been carded and all’ have good credentials. The public, however, may give most support to SLIPPERY, FULL THROTTLE, MISS HUSIIABYE. Tho day will conclude with the Broadway Handicap, which has attracted a field of nine. Round Score and Confiscation wil bo bracketed. Once again the punters have been set a

1 problem, but it will not bo surprising l _ if there is solid support for UNEXPECTED, DORADO, ■ ROUND SCORE- CONTTSCA- ■ TION bracket. RIDING ENGAGEMENTS The following riding engagement? have been announced for to-day:— B. H. Morris: Royal Feast, Pladie, Ihapeia, Unexpected. W. E. Pine: B'luo Tiger, Note Issue, Evasion, Full Throttle. J. A. McFarlane: Hunting Lodge. C. Carroll': Popctte, Round Score. S. Wilson: Miss Hushabyc, Dampier, Dorado. L. H. Jones: Happy Hunting. J. Mclnally: Hilton Gorse, Tc Rangitumau. A. McDonald: Saltspray, Cclerrimus. Petrarch. C. Thomson: Waitaunaha, Brigadore, Muggins. Scratching Tuhitarata has been scratched for the Bracelet.

o £ the kind liad happened, and his view was that every spare penny the iclub had should go into" stakes. (Hear, hear.)

Other officers were declared clcctel as follow; Mr It. J. Harper, vice-presi-dent; Messrs E. Fair, E. Goodbclicre, T. O’Neill and A. 11. Sutton, committee; Mr W. J.
