IllflllM '■ Reremoana is another Wanganuiowned horse that will be getting m some great work over the last part of the mile at Ellerslie. V Reremoana. has 9.11, a big' weight, but lie ' has some wonderful performances . to his credit when, heavily weighted, and is probably the best miler m the Dominion. ■ ■ ' # * ■#.■.■•"■ The son of Hallowmas has run the mile m 1.38, and he scored m the Criterion Handicap at Riccarton ' last spring with 9.3 m the saddle, running the seven furlongs, m 1.24 3/5. Othsr great performances to Reremoana' s credit include the winning of the Jackson Stake's at Wanganui last: February when far from fit, and beating that brilliant filly Lady. Cavendish, which was m much better fettle. ■■■•■■■■ ..■*••'• -.-• * ;--. ; . •; .'■'■• Mr. Currie has only Motley engaged m the North Island Challenge Stakes at Trentharii;

Moore's champion will just about win. * o .# Mr. Geo. M. Currie has both Delude, and Motley m the All Aged Stakes at Avoniiale. Good as Motley is, Deluge may prove even better . over six furlongs. Lj'sandcr looked a bit big a couple of weeks ago, but he has come on very fast as the result of some good gallops. This colt is likeTy to strip better than when he won, the G.N. Foal Stakes at Christmas. ' 7 ' ." ■ ■ . •■ -■ ; >,* ■ /-."•••.
