NORTHERN MEETINGS STRONG RICCARTON TEAM (Special ro Daily Times) CHRISTCHURCH, Dec. 17. For several years past there have been some horses from Riccarton at the Manawatu Racing Club's summer meeting, after which some have wound up at Wairarapa, while others have done Marlon or Stratford This will be the programme this season for horses from several stables. They will go north on Monday night. For several seasons H. and A Cutts have sent n team to Manawatu and Wairarapa This year A Cutts will take three horses with excellent prospects. Wild Chase, the star of the party is top-weight in the Manawatu Cup He has his full share of weight, and will require to be at his best to beat some of those lower down the Oaks winner, Peerless, beinp one that seems well treated at 7.8 Al the same time, it has to be recalled lha* Wild Chase was a top-class three-year-old, and though he lost form last season, his recent running is evidence that he is on the way to good deeds again, If all goes well with him, he looks certain to pay his way on the trip.

Counterblast, the sprinter of the party, won at Trentham and then ran third in the Stewards' Handicap. On this form she looks like paying her way, though she will meet stout opposition at Awapuni. Laughing Lass is one to be Kept in mind, while riorence Mills, now in receipt of lltb, Deat Counterblast when receiving only sib on the first day at Trentham. This was in a hack -race, after which the Riccarton mare won in open company. The third member of the uhtiord team is ureat might, a promising hack, with recent track torm to suggest that she is on'the way to better deeds. A. G. Parsons will accompany this team as the rider. C. C. McCarthy may have four in his team, or only tnree, depending on the final decision about Argentic. If he misses Auckland, he may get some money at Awapuni and Stratford or Wairarapa, as his recent track form has been good. Rabble is an improver, requiring only average luck to pay his way. The three-year-old Improvident, may never be more than moderate, as he lacks stamina, but his speed will help him in some of-his five furlong engagements. He and Rabble are due to wind up at Stratford or Wairarapa. Haughty Winner, the remaining member of the team, will finish the trip at the Wairarapa meeting, where his -Wellington owner will have a chance to see him race. He is very well, and there are not many Riccarton horses with better holiday prospects. J. Campbell will have two horses in his care. Lady Rosette did not race up to expectations at Riccarton, but her form before then and again later, was attractive. She can stay, and there are hack races at Manawatu and Wairarapa to give her a great chance. Her mate, Night Hawk, has developed wayward habits on the track, but is a good galloper up to a mile, and should pay his way. F A. Roberts has Phalanx in good order, and his owner (Mr D. Spence) may have a successful trip with this hack. Some of his failures early in the season were expensive, but he has made steady improvement, and he is at his best now.

Moonraider and Dinty sprinted over half a mile in 52 2-ssec, the first two furlongs in 24 2-ssec.
