He was one of the leaders throughout, and lasted long enough to beat Idle Jest by a neck. Baccarat is a four-year-old chestnut gelding by Sir Crusoe from Horomea, and he is trained at Trentham by W. G. Hawthorne. He is engaged at the Wellington meeting to-day, and in the Rimutaka Handicap he has drawn 23 at the barrier. One of the horses he will meet will be the smart English-bred galloper. Super. Jottings Acceptances for the first day of the Gore meeting are due on Monday. The Night Raid mare Citation has been retired, and will be mated with Kol Ragi.
