Rioghail has been allowed to forego his first day’s engagement at Woodville;, but the Grandcourt youngster may come in for the Novice Plate on Thursday, wherein Black Acre is another local entrant. Rioghail (McDowell) and Myola (K. Voitre) ran the last three furlongs of a fivefurlong task on Saturday morning in 43 without being impressive. Moutoa Treasury, who was nominated for the Borough Handicap on the opening day at Woodville, will not come in till the second day, when fhe will have the option of starting in the Gothard Memorial or the Gorge Handicap. £To doubt the Paper Money mare will be a candidate in the latter event, in which she will be ridden by R.

To Run on Thursday Fiery Comet was to have made his reappearance on the race tracks in the Whariti Handicap on the opening daj- at Woodville, but a sore mouth has decided his trainer to forego the first day at least. Disrank is another local who will not come in till the second day. Fiery Comet strode along over seven furlongs in 1.45 on Saturday morning. The Nassau gelding- from G. Jones’s stable showed promise in a sprint wUh. Disrank on Saturday morning by leading the latter performer home at the end of a half-mile sprint in 04. Roundelay, who will not be asked to race until the Christmas fixtures come round, showed that he is in very fair order by leaving five furlongs behind him in 1.8 on Saturday morning. For Hawera J - P- Coyle will not oe represented at t\ oodville, but he will take King Acre, Skyrider, and Novar through to the.Egmont meeting. On Saturday morning Glenrossie (Reed) led King Acre (Green) home at the end of a five-furlongs task,' the last three furlongs occupying' 41. ,',"?, dV< i ntus ’ who ' svas operated on some little time back, is being pottered about on the tracks, but the Bisogne geldmg wiH' not be asked to race till after Christmas, it being the intention of his owner to give Bulolo’s brother plenty of time to recover from the operation. .„T h ® Lackham- Moon dine filly from vt. Bailey s stable will be given an outing in public on the second day at W oodville, and in preparation she was given barrier practice on Saturday morning.

The latter, who claims relationship with Vinella, revelled in the heavy going, the six furlongs being negotiated in 1.28. Rouex as Hurdler Rouex is the latest recruit to the jumping branch, and when put over the battens by A. E. Stratton on Saturday morning the Kilbroney gelding shaped quite promisingly. Askari was likewise jumped by R. G. Stratton, but this young horseman had a very safe conveyance. n.m h rr e i * W ° V old '' etcrMs .
