By the Sporting Editor April 17 Southland R.C. April .16, 17 .. .. Whangarei R.C. April 17 Amberley R.C. April 17, 24 .. Hawke’s Bay J.C. April 24 Sth. Canterbury J.C. Debut Over Jumps L. Hare will make his debut as a rider of jumpers at Invercargill to-day, whdn he will have the mount on Desert Trek in the Steeplechase. Moody Sort Deep Harmony is ,a galloper of moods. If caught in the right mood he would give trouble in the Amberley Handicap to-day. Question of Staying Flying Orders is racing more generously than previously, but the question in his case is whether he will run the sevenfurlong journey of the Amberley Handicap. He has been sprinting impressively. Her Last Race Sanskrit will have her last race to-day as she is to be retired to the stud. She will be ridden to-day by J. Dougherty, who can claim an allowance. Moonee Valley Winner Tetrare, a winner at Moonee Valley last Saturday, was bred by Mr F. B. Donnelly, of Flaxmere, Hastings, and is a two-year-old by Theio from Odavarb. He cost 600gns at last year’s sales. Good Track Work Wide Range's recent track work has been such as to suggest that he will race prominently at the Amberley meeting today. In Novice Stakes All’s Fair should get a share of the stake attached to the Novice Stakes at Amberley. She was narrowly beaten by Top Class at the Oamaru meeting. Wingatui Jumpers The running of the Hurdle Race at Invercargill to-day will carry more than the average interest for local enthusiasts as no fewer than six of the runners are trained at Wingatui or Mosgiel Park— Prize Ring, Batal, Detain, Siegform, Beau Son, and Robot. When Page’s Raid, Desert Trek, Foxchase, and others are added to the list it will be seen that Wingatui stables will be strongly represented in the big jumping events that lie ahead.
