With 7.12, Royal Finance is given an invitation to race at .Wanganui, but.on this turning course the Peper Money filly will not be able, to afford missing the jump-out. . On only one occasion lias " the Great Northern Hurdles race been won twice by the same horse. That fine jumper El Gallo won in 191.5 and 1910 with 9.0 and 10.13 respectively, and incidentally won the big steeplechase each year. This time Mister Gump and Wedding March are previous winner's of therace. # * # * Overhaul has been accorded nomination at Wanganui, but is surprising to find him missing from the big races at Ellerslie. Overhaul beat Mister Gamp decisively in both the Trenthain and Winter Hurdles last July and thereby proved his class as a hurdler. . * # # # . ' Acceptances for the Wanganui meeting close on Friday evening; also entries for the Otaki R.C. meeting and Taumarunui meeting, besides general on-, tries for the Great Northern meeting.! In order to dissolve a partnership the imported'horse Peach Brandy was offered at auction at Feilding the other day but failed to find a buyer. This horse, who served about 30 mares at Bulls this season, has a useful winner in Grand Spirit and there seems no reason why, with suitable opportunities, he should-not be a stud success. # * # * If an extra permit can be obtained the Manawatu Racing Club, using the Manawhtu ’-Hunt Club’s permit as well, will stage a two-day steeplechase gathering at Awapuni on July 31 and August 2. A tentative programme has been drawn up and all classes of horses will be catered for. It is not thought that there will be any difficulty in obtaining the extra privilege. .** « # Pompeius has been weighted for both the Great Northern Hurdles and the Cornwall Handicap run on the opening day at the Auckland : Racing Club’s winter meeting, and this versatile performer is equal to extending the winner of either race. #•# » # Huirangi Girl has been hunted this season, but the last winner of the Egmont-Wanganui Hunt Club Cup is carrying a ton of condition. Loveridge is also hunting a, nice cut of a nuj.ro in Lady June, who fences in--racy style.
