HIGH PLAY IN FAVOUR

TODAY’S WINGATUI FIELDS The second day of the Dunedin Jockey Club’s summer meeting at Wingatui today has drawn excellent fields, and the racing promises to be of a high standard. The presence of the champion Kindergaarten in the Hazlett Gold Cup will be an attraction. The fields are in many cases stronger than those on Cup day, and the public will probably find favourites much more difficult - to locate. The track yesterday was rei ported to be in good order, but on the t slow side. Palfrey, Benbecula and Sass cha are expected to race prominently in the Dunedin Jockey Club Handicap, while in the sprint race, the Flying > Fortress Handicap, High Play, Inscrut- [ able and Royal Chorus will be in demand.

' RAIN AT~WINGATUI J £ Track Certain To Be Heavy J (Special) DUNEDIN, January 5. Heavy rain fell at Wingatui today, and the track is certain to be heavy < for the second day of . the I Jockey Club’s meeting tomorrow. Rain I continued to fall late tonight. It is not intended to start Jack o’ I Lantern in the Owhiro Hurdle Handi- £ cap and the stable will rely on Pocket 1 Flash, who will be a firm favourite. I The heavy going is likely to upset 1 form calculations and several horses are I likely to forego their engagements. S REEFTON JOCKEY 1 CLUB ?
