Wanganni Whispers

(By "Hallowmas."!

Kifburn, the big gelding, m W. Dwyer's stable, is coining on nicely, and may win a, race shortly. Passin' Through is unlikely to be taken to .EUerslie, as he is' suffering from an injury to a tendon. If AJaric goes to EUerslie he will be hard to beat m whatever he starts, on the flat "or over hurdles. , j Mr. L. G. Paul intends to send Attractive* to Auckland, for the Great Northern Meeting. The son of Absurd has shown better form recently • than ever. , There is said to be some likelihood of T. J. Quinlivan bringing his team to Wanganui on his return from Auckland, and keeping them here for the winter. ' Ora's Delight was taken to Hawera for the second day. She went well for three furlongs, but the pace set by Kafa was too solid for her. - If Master Peter does not win a cross-country event, either at Wanganui or Auckland it will 'be surprising. He is m great heart. It is said that the owner of one of the winners at Hawera got a big surprice when ho saw his horse getting home first. There was some misunderstanding somewhere. How did it happen? The victory of Sunshot m the Davidson Handicap at Hawera was very popular. His owner,. Mr. A. Grant, is one of the stewards of the Egmont Club. Gold Peak is credited with having done some good work at Waverley recently. She is a good jumper, though not brilliant. 'A race like the Tamaki Steeplechase on the third day at Ellerslie might suit Blue Hall. He is m good fettle. Explorer was expected to run prominently m. the two-mile crosscountry event at Hawera, but the going was against him. He likes it : firm. a ' > San Forte was reported to be lame, but showed no signs of it at Hawera oh Saturday last. If Gaillard shows anything like form at Wahganui, he Will be taken to Ellerslie. . Ring Potoa is worth keeping m mind for future events. It may not be long ■: before ho wins. Blue Peter is another gelding who may win a decent stake shortly. Rehutai won the opening event at Hawera on Saturday, and was saddled up for the last race. The grey mare ran Well, but third was the best she could do. Backers of Rafa got a shock when they saw him stop as he over the > last bit at Hawera on Saturday.
