FIRST- VISITORS ARRIVE MR. LOWRY'S THREE HORSES The first of tho visitors for tho Auckland Racing Club's Spring Meeting reached Ellerslie yesterday, when Mr. T. H. Lowry's private trainer, R, Alexander, arrived with Chrysology, Sonior and Aesculus. Chrysology is well known to local racegoers, having raced here previously, but his travelling companions have not bctn in Auckland before. Aesculus is a three-year-old gelding by Night Raid from Tinihanga, hence a fullbrother to Elude. Ho had three starts last season for p. second and a third, and he has shown improving form in several outings this term, winnincc the Trial Handicap at Napier Park at the beginning of the month and running seccmd to Minstrel Lad in the Spring Trial Stakes at Trentliam hmt Monday. „ . ~,. , Senior is a two-year-old colt by Ruler from First Blow and, therefore, a half-brother, to Second Wind and Gascony. He had his first public outing in tho Weliesley Stakes at Trentham, but failed to make a showing, not being quite as forward ns some of his opponents, who had had tho benefit of a littlo previous racing. Senior has displayed speed on the tracks nnd ho may be seen in a more favourable light at, Ellerslie. , The Wanganui trainer, W. Rayner. is expected to arrivo this morning with Mr. G. M Currie's horses, Midinette, Pomp and Spiral After Midinette's two failures at Avondale last month, Mr. Currie was inclined to allow her to forgo her Ellerslie engagements, but after consultation with W. Rayner ho has decided to give her another chance in Auckland, whero the right-handed tracks are not considered to be in her favour, although she shaped really well on occasions hero last, season.
