THE steeplechases at Riverton usually provide spectacular cbn- _.__ tests and the nominations for this Easter meeting are well up to standard. At time of writing acceptances for none of the meetings are available. ■ ■ ■ ; . ■■■ ■/ ■ Among the steeplechasers, however, Greenstone, Kipling, and Frenchman "are three that the fin- : ger of form points to as likely to run well.

colors m the River ton Cup, will not be far from favorite. Overdrawn, m particular, is shaping like an early winner. Horses that should run well m other events are Circulation, Apache, Warhaven, and Paris. Good fields are likely to line up at both Lawrence and Beaumont, and these clubs should have record meet- • ings.
