A field of 10 is engaged in the Gardiner Memorial Handicap, Speedy’s name having been missed in the list of acceptances, and in the Farewell Hack Handicap Flying Fort 7.7, should have been included There are only three brackets on the card —Judge’s Writ and Village Beauty in the Novice Stakes No. 1, Haughty Queen and Swithindale in the Waikaura Trot, and Clinker Hall and Lumberjack in the Landon Trot.
