Not only are large fields engaged, but there is a good dasn of quality and plenty of visitors from far afield. There has been a fair amount of rain in the district during the week, but provided it does not rain on the day the going should be good, though it may be a bit on the soft side. The New Plymouth track is a turning one, about a mile in circumr ference. and has a,short run in. it favours smart horses, artd anything not reasonably well placed for the straight has a difficult task to get up for six and seven-furlong events. However, there is a good long straight stretch from the start, especially from the seven-furlong barrier.

Lady Callaghan. and Anhoyer. 12.40 - Weraroa Stakes. First. Division: Lord Cavendish, Windsor Chief, and Rolling Home.
