MANAWATU RACING CLUB. NEW TRACK'S AT AWAPUNI. (Per Press Association.—-Copyright.) PALMERSTON N., This Day. The 'Manawatn Racing Club threw open to trainers on Saturday three new grass tracks, which have taken over two years to complete. The occasion was marked by one of the club president’s (Mr C. Louisson) horses being the first to gallop thereon. The addition gives the club seven grass gallops, apart .from the plough and sand tracks, and should meet the requirements of a. hundred or more horses in training at the local centre. The cost of preparation of the new tracks is estimated at £2500, considerable extra work having been entailed as .the result of trenches made by trainees in camp at Awapuni in war time.
