No Guide on Alison

Cup Day

(From "N.Z. Truth's" Special Auckland Rep.) It is only fair to point out that favorable barrier positions were of little use. as < a guide to punters m selecting winners on opening day at Takapuna. THIS is exceptional on the turning A track across the harbor. The trouble was that m most cases horses that drew near the fence were of moderate quality., . This Was perhaps withthe exception of Town Bird, which drew No. 1 m the. Plate, and Awarere and Dayguard, which were favorably, plaoed near the rails m the Borough. ! But,; to be just, it is only' right to point iout the barrier positions, of the i nine winnets at Takapuna on opening j day.
