fair fields, Keen Racing likely

The Napier Park Club will hold its one-day spring meeting at Greenmeadows to-day. Fair acceptances have been received, and the racing promises to be keen. ;

The only item likely to mar the meeting will be the absence of the good class jockey. Most of the heads of the profession have gone to Avondale, with the result that Napier will have to depend upon the tails. TRIAL HACK PROSPECTS. The programme will commence with the Trial Hack, for which Penman, who ran second at Dannevirke, afte"r getting away badly, x-eads unbeatable. In addition ,to getting away badly, Penman was off his feed all the time •he was at Dannevirke. The most likely one to upset Penman is Waitaunaha. Toa Taua was thought to be equal to beating Little River at Dannevirke, but he fell instead. With a stand up to-day he will take a power of stopping. Little River and Good Mark read the best of the others. The work Commendation has been putting m at Awapuni points to him being a put m and take out proposition m the Prince of Wales Stakes. That is what his owner thinks, anyhow.

Kilceit was unlucky at Wanganui. Her rider was at fault. Given anything like a. fair go to-day she will trouble them m the Park Stakes. Serene is improving, while Duo, if he repeats his winter running at the same course, will be m the money. The hardest race of the day appears to be the Ahuriri Handicap. , Both' Mime and Minstrel 1 Boy won at Dannevirke, and they should, be m the picture io-day." ' Crishna is a possibility. ' /■' • : t ■ ' TARADALE HURDLES. If General Carrington is not started m, the Taradale Hurdles the public must go for Woden, who is racing more solidly now. With a race into him Runnymede would be a short-priced toucn^ for" the Railway Handicap, but he may need a gallop. Nevertheless, his trainer reports him well forward, and it might not be wise to disregard him altogether. Shirley was fleet of foot last year. Teiga and De Luxe must, on recent running, fill the places m the County Handicap. The former is well suited by the distance.
