Assured of Support In Woolston Handicap
When the totalisator is closed on the Woolston Handicap at Riccarton on Saturday Baccarat will be well up in the order of favouritism. A four-year-old by Sir Crusoe, he is out of Horomea, by Quarantine from Hermia, by Birkenhead from Nixie, by Daniel O’Rourke from Waterbaby, by Apremont from Watersprite, by Traducer from Waterwitch by Camden.
Baccarat had only two starts last season. In the Trial Plate at Trerttham last month he was 11—12 in the betting and finished outside a place after being with the leaders at the distance. At the Christchurch Hunt meeting, with W. J. Broughton in the saddle, he was made each-way favourite for the Haldon Stakes, and he won the first division easily after being prominent throughout. Trained at Trentham by W. G. Hawthorne, Baccarat shows promise of winning in better company.
