Scottish Knight is troubled in front, and I is causing F. Stennmg considerable anxiety. j He can be written out of the Welcome Stakes, , so far as prospects of success are concerned. ; In fact, he is an unlikely starter. I Tatterly and El Gallo will be ridden by C. 1 Scott in their engagements at Elierslie on Saturday next. The same horseman will ' pilot Brookfield in the Maiden Hurdles and I Blueform in his hack engagement I L. Traill arrived from the South early in the week to steer Tokatoka in his hurdle j engagement, but may not be able to reach the poundage. R. Manson will probably be found riding Kitty Bellairs in her sprint engagement on Saturdav next. E. Copestalte is expected on Saturday to complete hurdle engagements at Elierslie. Rangi Thompson will come north to ride Gluetanus at the Elierslie meeting. F. TuU-hcn is to ride The Celt and War Head in their engagements at Ellerslie. RICCARTON TRAINING NOTES. [BY TELEGRAPH.
