MINOR JUVENILES

Distance Will Trouble Most of Them (From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland Rep.) The majority of the two-year-olds seen out at Te Rapa on opening day were only, of ordinary quality, and so far as the Onslow Stakes at Ellerslie is concerned nothing from there stands out as unbeatable, I£ING FORD certainly did his job well, showing Tutchen's charge to be on the improve, but the big hopes, Imamint, Hampton Park and Biddy's Boy all failed to reach the place money. Raff light may improve with Te Rapa racing, and it is just possible the same remark may apply to Imamint, for it is hard to forget her promising spring form. ' The trouble with the majority of those engaged m the Onslow at Ellerslie will be their inability to run on six furlongs. ' Biddy's Boy and ' Grand Spirit should both go on safely for the distance, When the judge decides, it may be that King Ford and Grand Spirit will •be two disputing the stake money.
