HUNTS’ SECOND DAY

PROSPECTS LOOK BRIGHT CLARION CALL IN GOOD FORM. SLIPPERY WILL BE WELL BACKED. (By “Hurry On.”) Splendid fields figure in all events for the second day of the combined Taranaki and Egmont-Wanganui Hunt Clubs’ meeting on the New Plymouth racecourse to-day. The outstanding feature is the fine acceptances for the two jumping races, ’’the Taranaki Hunt Cup and the Hack and Hunters’ Hurdles, both of which should provide spectacular contests. With the first day’s form to guide them backers should be well on the mark. Prior to the commencement of the racing there will be a parade of two-year-olds. These always create considerable interest and the showings of Notium (Lysander—Makepeace) and Brilliancy (Excitement— Glittering) will be closely watched. Proceedings will commence at 12.15

Silk Sox, who should be improved by his race on Thursday, represents better class than his opponents here. He was second toFersen in the Stratford Cup. Petrarchdemonstrated on the track on Wednesday .that he has a good turn of pace and.he"will have the services of Mr. J. Morris. Bay Sand ran a fair race on Thursday while Sapless is likely to improve. The best supported may be SILK SOX PETRARCH I.o— ■ ■

provide a great contest. Though he Is showing plenty of promise, Orapai may : ieed more experience, Lavington, who ■has done, plenty of schooling, gave a >plend id. display'on Wednesday morning. .Soloist: is "'also reported to be a good 'jumper. / Begu Star ran -a good race on the flat on Thursday. Kaola' can be depended upon for an honest race. Spender can jump, but it will be his first outing oyer the timber. Though there was not a great deal of merit in Bright Sky’s third at Trentham, he ran a capital race in the scurry on Thursday. The favourites may be LAVINGTON BRIGHT SKY . SPENDER 1.45-

- Red Sand and Lady HOariri, who were first and third on Thursday should again be prominent while Lady Eka ran a fair race in good hack company. Gay Poto should be improved by his outing and so should High Teat, who. finished strongly on Thursday. Likely newcomers are Golden Rill and Ngatirahiri, both of. ■whom have been working well. The ! popular fancies may be ! RED SAND ■ GAY POTO . golden rill

i Tahurangi has a big weight here but ;he won well on Thursday and that race 'should have improved him. Sporting Song failed over a mile at Trentham, but was finishing solidly in the Whenuakura on' Thursday. Santoft can be depended upon for a solid effort, while Silk Sox, if started again, should have a great chance. Ruaform was finishing on in his race on the day, while Blue Tiger is bred to stay. The race is open but those to find favour may include TAHURANGI SPORTING SONG BLUE TIGER 3.15TARANAKI HUNT CLUB CUP

Panlolf and Just Off will be bracketed on the totalisator. The event has drawn the splendid field of a dozen and should be productive of some great jumping. Miss Pango’s showing o Thursday wa? below her best and Clarion Call, who created a good impression when he won th'e Trial Steeplhs the first day, makes more appeal. He should again beat Croyden but Waitaunaha, The Storm Wind and Panloff should all improve on their Thursday’s efforts. Razor is a likely improver. Redbray, Ngareta and Susie Pie will have to stage big improvements to hold winning chances, though Flockhart might show up. The popular fancies may be CLARION CALL RAZOR MISS PANGO

Glenvane 8 5 Musquil 7 9 Slippery can run out a good seven furlongs and he was most unlucky in the Waihou Handicap on Thursday. Gold Mission is sure to carry good support, as she generally improves with racing. Ruri usually races well when fresh and Glenvane’s decisive win at Awapuni hag not been forgotten Fersen was finishing on so solidly on Thursday that the extra furlong here might find him hapdy at the finish. A fresh horse in Davistock has been working well enough to have prospects. Gold Cure was well in th<? picture the first day and Musquil is always likely to bring off a surprise. Most support may come for SLIPPERY GOLD MISSION GLENVANE

This distance may prove too short for Aussie Ra and at the weight Tonnerre makes more appeal. He was a good two-year-old last season. Mustang’s track work has been so good that he is sure to command a following. Windscreen ran well enough the first day to have a

winning chance, but Landlubber does not appeal. Kia Ora is an improving filly and Red Fox may act up. to his track work. Revival is a possibility. In a good race the popular fancies may be TONNERRE MUSTANG WINDSCREEN NEW ZEALAND TROTTING CUP. ALTERED CONDITIONS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. The New Zealand Trotting C?up to be run in November will be for horses assessed at 4.26 or better, instead of at 4.26. The stake, £l5OO, 'ill be the same a? last year and the cup will be worth £lOO.
