WAIMATE RACES.

Meeting on New Date Promises Well. TO-MORROW'S PROSPECTS. Originally the Waimate Racing Club was to have raced on March 15 but owing to insufficient entries that date was abandoned. The Club is holding its annual fixture to-morrow when the number of acceptances exceed the entries received for the March date. Betting will be on the singie pool system, on a 75 and 25 per cent basis. The programme and prospects are: 12.30 p.m. STUDHOLME HIGH-WEIGHT HANDICAP. Of 75 sovs. One mile and a quarter. st lb stlb Black Duke 10 5 Star Raider 9 0 Rin Tin Tin 10 5 Bell Hill 9 0 Silver Sight 10 4 Adult 9 0 Gold Knight 9 0 Valves 9 0 The veteran Black Duke was third over a mile and a quarter at Tuapeka beating only Rameses home, but at Beaumont on Easter Monday he ran second over seven furlongs and won over a mile and a quarter from Red Racer Rin Tin Tin at Oamaru ran second (to Drumfire) over a mile. At Riverton after finishing second (to Kamal Pasha) over a mile, he ran unplaced over a mile and over seven furlongs. Silver Sight at Riverton was beaten half a head over seven furlongs, then ran unplaced over a mile, but on the third day won over a mile. Gold Knight was unplaced in a mile high weight at Oamaru, where Star Raider ran third and unplaced in the high weight handicaps. Star Raider was subsequently twice unplaced at Riccarton where he ran a fair race in the mile Addington Handicap. Bell Hill ran second in the first brush steeplechase at Riccarton and won the second. Adult shaped moderately in the Oamaru high weight handicaps. Valves is a ’chaser who has not raced for months. Rin Tin Tin, Silver Sight and Star Raider are likely to have admirers. 1.5 p.m. TRIAD PLATE, of 70 sovs: six furlongs—Call Money, Imperial Spear, Night Form. Colossian, Money Flies, Perfect Rose, June the Third, Janarose, Wonderful, Secret Paper, Desirable, Violenta. A number of these horses met at Oamaru last month. On the first day, when Red Dance won the Trial, Violenta was third, while Money Flies was seventh with Perfect Rose, Secret Paper and Wonderful further back. On the second day, when Air Pocket won the Novice, Violenta was second, Money Flies third and Night Form fourth with Wonderful and Perfect Rose unplaced. Violenta showed much promise. Since then Money Flies has run third in a trial at Tuapeka and won over five furlongs at Beaumont and the latter performance makes him ineligible for this event. Call Money, Desirable and Janarose have done no racing. Colossian won over six furlongs at Otautau, but was unplaced over seven at Riverton. Imperial Spear has been unplaced in his recent races but they were at Trentham and Riccarton. He is worknicely. June the Third at Cromwell last month recorded two firsts and a third in six furlong events. Violenta, Imperial Spear and Colossian may attract most support. 1.45 p.m. WAIMATE CUP.

Sockburn Handicap, nine furlongs. He was fourth in the Great Autumn with 8.2. Kamal Pasha at Oamaru won the first high weight and ran third in the President’s Handicap, both being run over a mile.
