TO-MORROW'S TROTS

POSTPONED PROGRAMME _ . * : OPEN ASPECT OF EVENTS LABOUR DAY HANDICAP KEEN, CONTEST EXPECTED The second clay's programme of the {Auckland 1 rotting Club's Spring fleeting, ipostponed from last Monday on account of unfavourable weather, will bo presented si, Alexandra Park, Epsom, to-morrow. The fields are numerically stronger than on the opening day, and while the form •'disclosed should servo as a good guido "the presence of fresh horses in some of the . races will lend additional interest. With all first-day winners reasonably penalised, .and in some instances also those who finished second, the chances of other horses who raced prominently will be enhanced, and consequently the contests generally bear a more, open appearance. In tlie principal race, the Labour Pay Handicap, Direct Morning, Carnui, Anon and First Flight, who fdled tho first four places, will again meet, and with tho winner back 24 yards, a keen tussle should bo witnessed, Brentlight, a consistent performer over two miles, and Heal Girl, are newcomers in tho field, and I hey promise to plav an important pait. The Remuera Handicap- should be. a ' fine race. Ihe lield includes Little Guy and Heal Girl, winner and runner up in the Electric' Handicap last Saturday, and Kewpios Triumph, Kewpie's Guy and Brentlight, wlu) %voro all practically in Jinr behind thorn. Fresh ones in tho field, who hold good prospects, are Nelson Taskcr, First Flight and Pel,er Pirate. These mentioned, with the addition of Brent ZoJock, who may elect to go away correctly, should provido ample material for a Jseen contest. A good field of straight-out. trotters will contest, the Hillsborough Handicap, including Moko BeHs and Marble Star, who returned the dividends in tho corresponding race last Saturday. Windchat, Carl Mack, Billy Carbine and Moko Girl will he improved, and with Moko Bells and Marble Star back 24 yards and 12 yards respectively, the issue is decidedly open. Provided the track is in good order, Parrish Belle, who did not start last Saturday, should 'add additional interest. Some smart pacers arc engaged in tho Insulation Handicap, including Homeward and Realty, both winners on the first day. and Nathaniel and Pukeniiro., who paid eecond dividends. Others who made creditable showings last Saturday are Rolfe Audubon. Some Dillon, Jersey Thorpe, - Francis Lincoln and Lady Cor'onado, and they may all do better to-morrow. A fresh competitor is Worthy Cause, who has not Taced since he won a double in attractive style at the Juno meeting. The good form displayed recently by Realty, Pukemiro and Homeward will attract attention to them in the Junction Handicap, while Guid Ilairst, who failed badly in the Parnell Handicap, can be expected to give a much better display. Lady Amanda and Stormy Mack, first day ■winners, will meet in the Campbell Han r dicap, and in Wee Machine, who acted as. runner-up t? Lady Amanda, they will find & serious rival. Betterwin and Sister Chris irrav be improved, and should add interest to the race. Among the improving pacers, Lislea and Raider made the best" showings behind Stormy Mack, and Fisher also ran a fair race. Nellota and Cimarron had their prospects extinguished at the start, and should do better to-morrow. '•" ■ "In the race for novice and improving ■trotters/ Win Huon, Nell Volo and Manna's Son, who filled the places last Saturday, may, command most attention, but there should be danger from Hue Corbnado, who is now racing in his right class, and is three seconds better off than when competing in the higher-grade event.

CANTERBURY TROTTING NOTES CRAGANOUR'S FINE PROMISE [from our. own coiniksi'ondent] (JHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday Of <he pacers racing in New Zealand today there is probably none better than the f'jur-year-old gelding Craganour in his own Particular clans. His will in the Handicap at Oaliiaru. when he defeated Indianapolis, showed him up as one of the best young horses ever produced here. He is a worthy son of Travis Axworthy, while cfti his dam's side the Harold Dillon blood predominates. Craganour can both sprint and stay/' and there is no knowing how many races he will win before the season concludes. As a result of his win in the Weston Handicap at Oaliiaru, Royal Silk ha 3 come into a lot of favour for tho New Zealand Trotting Cup. and he justifies the opinion previously expressed that he is, the elect of J. Bryce's cup bracket. He paced like a true racehorse and the challenge of Harold Logan in the concluding stages did- not worry him. Royal Silk, like his sire, Silk Thread, is a regular bulldog, and in the matter of staying no horse will have anything more in its favour over (he last halfmile. He is in the pink of condition. Colorado's win at Oamaru on Monday showed'that be is right among the top-class performers, and his efforts in the near future will be watched with interest, ft. R Rerrv is very patient with his horses and Colorado, like Rollo, has been allowed to take his time. From now on Colorado will have to do his best and this will bo better th*m lie has yet shown. Nothing' was more pleasing during the holiday racing than the success achieved by J. Ke'nnerley on the West Coast, and. even if Kelp does riot win a race Bhortlv. there is every prospect of Peter Junior going on to a succession of victories. This grilling is a fine pacer, and but for a mishap early in his career he would have made lmtory ore now.. Golden Direct, at fine time one of tho ;-c most, fawned Derby candidates, has lost n good deal of his reputation and it is plain Si that a mile and a-quarler i« an far as he •likes to go. His win at Greymouth was ovoruii" ri'ul did not make him out. to be a cjia'iipion He will find it hard to beat off Indianapolis', while Taxpayer will probably py'beat the pair of thcni. When discussing jtei'Derhy prospects it is not wise to force! the Is:.chances t,f Tollgate, Mr. J. R. iaf Kenzie's fei*eiond string.
