HAWKE’S BAY RACES

ONE DAY SPRING GATHERING SPORT AT GREENALUADOWS TO-DAY FINE GUINEAS FIELD IS CARDED. (By “Moturod.’’) The Hawke’s Bay one-day spring meeting will be held at Greenmeadows to-dav, and unusually good fields pre carded for the./gathering. Fifteen remain in the Hawkes Bay Guineas and the. open nature of the race promises good betting. The programme opens with the TOMOANA HURDLES. ' Olie mile and three-quarters,

Call Again showed good .form at Dinnevirke and this useful juniper promises to find more support than AVhakaue, TRIAL STAKES. ■ Fye furlongs and a-half.

Many of the three-year-olds in thih. event have not raced season aud may - n«?t/be ..forward enough to show their best form. Futurist, Souchong-ahd Gran Chaco' all showed form last season, ■ anil tfliey may be backed in that order. ' - ’ GLENARAY HANDICAP. One mile and one furlong. (Race starts at 1.45 p.in.)

Sir Limond has uot struck, .fargL,.yet rbut Fitz Quex showed a lot of 'pace at/ Martpii and is well- forward,- Kaliikatda'/ would be better suited by a shorter distance, but, judiciously handled, may see' td£e- journey, put. . Little Wonder reads better than Repay, but Desert Lad should hold them both safe. Acmil, on the same-mark, ran good races at Marton, but oh/forni' Desert Lad; Fitz Quex and Acmil should do best. Then comes the . . HAWKE.’S BAY GUINEAS. /,y -.- ' One'mile.

Huntingdon has not run a bad race? this season, and promises to.be a useful middle-distance performer. Love, Song, gave' indications ;of’.staying on last sea-, son, but he may be better after,a race or. two, Simba is purely a Merry Cry is bred to btay.^‘’<sportmg< ; Chance will? not be neglected%lnftT’aru;-.' too reads liks a much better proposition. ' Lady Pam ran such a good race in...the.. Eclipse Stakes that she would have.a rare chance if she got away well from the .barrier, Phar Lap’s full-sister, Nea Lap, will" probably require a race, but not so Pakitere, whose, form has been consistently good. Rapallo and Tripping are not without chances, but the hardest trio to beat should be Pakitere, Lady Parii and Huntingdon.' The big handicap is the ■SPRING HANDICAP.

Though Singleton would be all The, better for a race, his quality entitles him tq considerable respect. Don Quix-: ote; too,, may. be short of a. ..race, but,' if'-hfe. is to jbe'epnsidered Cup./ prospect, he must ’ * ’W&ij money'.'. Hynanna- will - be' ? 6neVdT' 'the most forward, horses in the race, and he,has only to strike, form to make this field looks cheap. My Owu will be-■seen.-to-.better-advantage in a. small field; and she should, be improved by her races ; at Wanganui. Balloon has a chance and so has Queen’s- Choice, but the- others: do not look -like- . being ’ dangerous.; Summed--up, Don .Quixote,, My. Own and Hynanna should-be the hardest to beat.- , The .two-year-olds. will, line up for-tbe; / NURSERY- ,'U . . ' Eour’furlongs,.-/■;••. ■‘.y ••'/(Race- starts at; 3.45’’ p'mi.)/ - J 'i •g,

.Many, of -these .youngsters . will.. be making'their/.debut in public and t.'ie-stay-at-home "'bettors will not have a; chance to gauge their possibilities. How-, ever, a few have raced and shown some pace, and on form Curie looks like beating Sailing and Cape Gold. , . FLAXMERE HANDICAP.

Henry of Navarre has not yet struck form, and Portray, who is running out his hack nominations, looks a better proposition. Lordlike and Jenny Diver are both in need .of a race or two, though the latter comes to hand quickly. If reserved for this race the public would not hesitate in deciding for Huntingdon, for the Hunting Song gelding has shown good form this season. Nothing much'' has been heard of Silver Tray, who was: a rattling good two-year-old a few seasons- ago, but Laconic has been racing well lately. Summed up, Huntingdon appears to hold a.auortgage oh this. race, blit, in his absence, the money may.. favour Jenny Diter and Portray. The programme concludes with the FLYING HANDICAP. Six furlongs. (Race'?st'arts at 5.15 p.m.)

Hunting Buy was such a class sprinter last season that it looks as if he would need only to be half right to win heic. Head Serang was a useful performer last season and so was Royal Pai ide, while below them Chopin gets in with a nice weight However, the public will probably decided in favour of Hunting Dav, Chopin and Royal Parade.

A horse that is bound to be watched at Halting is Fitzquex, who ran promisingly at Marton. 1 ;; ft • ft - Martonian B. H.

Daly, will have a good team- at •.-Hawke’smeetings. Hynanna, Lady Pam, Sil; Limond, Cape Gold; Sailing and Movietone have made the trip. . .

It is reported here .that Mrs. Alan McDonald’s horses made the journey'■•ly Auckland by horse float.?,, A long trek,if correct, and hardly likely to do the team good, though they left home' 7it the beginning of the week... ■• ' ' « * * *

Mrs. McDonald will have no fewer than three two-year-old,s racing at the Auckland meeting, La Poupee, who will be ridden by H. N. Wiggins, is probably speedier thiln Chief Clerk and Chief Cook. Green has been engaged to ride the last-named in the A.R.C. Welcome Stakes.

The Awapuni team for Hawke’s Bay comprised Sporting Chance, Desert Lad, Fiery Comet, Rule Britannia and Brown Abbey, and the two first-named will have fair local followings. A classic

win for Mr.- C..T. Keeble would- be well received,“and Sporting, Chance is not a -bad.isgyk :-■ ykliS'UU''-' ' Geremcmy./gWtW'iYahganiii ’touts puzzled. Prior ,to the-Wanganui sjiring meeting he was going faster .than anything on the-tracks, and many ■good judges would not have him beaten --in the Flying. ,-/However, after gettiiig put well be stopped like a pricked balloon, and finished well back. The son of Absurd is again galloping in great style, and if he wins at Ellerslie there will be many. sad-punters in the “river city.” • •

Mr. A. T. Gatrell has a speedy littlqi; bit of horse-flesh in Acora, who woii.handsomely at Marton, and, was just , topped-off “at Wanganui; • The daughter ..of 'Acre , and Cora . Ora is-going-well on tlie Marton tracks; at present,’- and if produced'at Otaki will have an"army of ; followers. - Mr. -Gatrell,- known a&; “Curly,” to his many' friends, races for • the - sport of the game, and , does notih'ind-. “putting the town in” when he 'thinks he has. a winning, chance. ~on the.-flat at /Marton,'- is to-race oyer fences'again at Otaki next.month. She, looks very-.well, and is sure to give a good accpunt of herself, though the. hack hurdlers, to be contended with, therp this time are-a-pretty, good lot.

■ The New : Zealand . Cup candidate Merry-Damon, who is considered to be -,i.--. ..the frbnt raiik of distance performin the Dominion, isj reported to be looking and going well on, .Awapuni tracks.- He- 'ist to run ;at Otaki, and his /sMvving;^heiP.7.wyD : .rW.'.vhether a >CHp preparation is with. Varyiim reports come .to. hand from Trentham • regarding Tourist’s schooling efforts. One time lie jumps like a veteran, and -the next like a duffdr. With a little experience he should do well over fences, for lie is a sturdy ■ customer, and .possesses more than average pace.' He may; make his debut over hurdles at Otaki.

Mr. A. B. Williams has won many classic eveiits in the Dominion during •the pYst few years, but Cylinder was tfie first to carry his colours to victory in the Wanganui Guineas. Limond, the sire, of Cylinder, was also responsible fo”. Dlimaris, who won the. event in 1927.

Over-large and unweildly fields may have had something to do with the cramped betting at . the W anganui spring meeting, for the public, will not wager with any spirit when the maximum of runners adds uncertainty to the ■racing through the possibility of indifferent 0 starts, or through ■ jostling and-crowding on small, saucer tracks. Some years ago the late Mr. Millium Hall, ; ' Wang'.nnils secretary for very -.ni/iiv’years, told ■ the writer that, pro-vided'-'the-: class was right, fields of from eight to. ten were all that be wished for; and he knew what he was talking' about. The- same applies at Feilding, -where at : the Easter meeting -practically the-'- same .wagering was done on the open sprint race (with only eight Stu.i't-efs) as pit-the principal dis-. ■ tange.' handicap, (which -saw a dozen .horses'start).- .And in the case of the latter? one might have ,expected the public xio' “spread itself” somewhat on the -leading race of the . day. ft ;ft -ft '-“ft

Sprinw form, has been .responsible for. the Suggestion ..that Air. -G. M. Curries ’Successfill sire, Liiiiond, may gain kudos this fiCaebli. through the Derby colts, Cylinder 'aiid'-'Veilmond. The ■latter is a '.strong favourite ..for the Australian Derby, and -it looks as if Cylinder will occupy a similar position when New Zealand and Great Northern Derby prospects come to be considered. In Australia they bet on the A.J.C. Derby for several months, but here mc (perforce) wait for the day. * * * *

Arisus, who had to put up with second place to Cylinder in the Wanganui Guineas?" has been since galloping in pleasing style, and will probably strip fitter at Ellerslie. Given that in, Cylinder appeared to win with a lot in hand at Wanganui, and he should again account for the, Thespian geld-

in r in the Great Northern Guineas. Still, Ariisus begins well, and is a good sort.

The reverse way of working at Wanganui leaves no doubt that Count Palatine, 1 Pedestal, Pomp, Arisus, Ceremony and Appledore are intended for Ellerslie. Count Palatine is going as well as ever, and he should win big money this season, particularly over a distance of ground.
