A REAL PACER. Avernus is a real racehorse, and off the limit of the St Heliers Handicap at Auckland to-morrcw, he should pay his way. * * * i'fi Cimarron will see a short price at Epsom, where he is off the limit of a 4min 40soc class. It is the Christmas Handicap. A CAPABLE NOVICE. Ringtrue is regarded as a high-class three-vear-old, and one that is capable of winning a race or two at the Auckland Trotting Club’s meeting to-mor-row. sis jfc ❖ Pegaway is one of the most improved pacers in the Dominion, and is regarded in the north as a serious contender for Auckland Trotting Cup honWILL RE SUPPORTED Margaret Chenault is regarded as a potential winner at Auckland to-mor-row. She has made big improvement under J. S. Shaw, and she will go well at Epsom. * * * * Nell Volo and King’s Guard are the popular fancies for the Rowe Trotting Cup, but when it comes to the race, Don Chenault will keep them pretty busy. ONE WORTH WATCHING. The best horse in his class in commission is Worthy Light. He is conceding his field at Auckland to-morrow upwards of 60 yards, and he is equal to the task. With the much-boomed Indian Author on the limit he will probably pay the best dividend of his career. lie has started three times this season for as many wins, and has the makings of a high-class pacer. He is a member of F. J. Smith’s stable. * * * * Indianapolis is a pronounced favourite for the Auckland Trotting Cup, and so he should be. * s 4« * All eyes will be on Chancellor at Auckland to-morrow. And he will be a very hot favourite for the Akarana Handicap. WAR BUOY INJURED. The three -year-old pacer War Buoy could not fulfil his engagement in the Champion Stakes at the Ashburton Trotting Club’s meeting to-day. While playing in a paddock he injured himself rather badly, and it is doubtful if he will be able to race for some months. The injury is in the hindquarters. and it has not responded to treatment as quickly as his trainer hoped it would. War Buoy is very playful, and is always indulging in some antics in his enclosure. In his loose-box the walls have had to be heavily padded to prevent him from injuring himself. To date, War Buoy holds an unbeaten record of five wins in five starts, and has earned £1365 in stake-money.
