THE D.J.C.'S BIRTHDAY RACES.
{Though . everyone would have liked to see a few horses of high quality entered for the Dunedin meeting, it may be just as well for the purposes of a contest in. such a race as the Birthday Handicap that the list ia as it is. The disadvantage is that there is no pronounced crack to give the handicap a start' at a really high weight and elevate the race into one of interprovincial importance. On tho-other hand, it should be a simpler matter to bring together on weiglit the horses which. % Mr Dowse has to deal with; and, moreover, it ia a positive advantage to feel assured, as we can do with this lot, that all entered are possible starters, representing as they do different stables that are eagerly on the job for the stakes and not entering for the- capricious pleasure of scratching-, or -to see what the handicapper's assessment is like. There is every probability of- a good contest in this and ia othar rate? at th* Bktkdmr row***"*!
