RACES ON SATURDAY

WAIPA GLUB'S SPECIAL MEETING. /> SOME: OF THE PROSPECTS. •' Tlierd are indications of a very successful' meeting on Saturday next for the Waipa Racing Club's special totalisator gathering, at the Te Awarniutu: racecourse, which has received extra-rspecial attention to ensure plea-saAfcecndi-tions. for, patrons, good turf and. jumps for competitors, and a profitable meeting for the club. ', -The course is reported to be in ex* cellent'condition, and past experience shows "that the Te Awamutu course is peculiarly, jsuited to winter race meetings: ' Next- Saturday should, there-fore,-be no exception. L Particular interest just now centres in the : prospects of several candidates, arid Below we give some idea of which hiofses are-likely to_carry the totalisator support of their connections. :tft should be noted that the Club has arranged for the win and place systemti of : totalisator investments —that is, ■ one machine will operate for straight-out betting, and another ma. chine-for place betting. Most of the fields : will- be sufficiently numerous to provide for three dividends on the piaoeintachine; but in the W. G. Park Steeplechase the' six acceptors only provide!■.;■.!■'for two dividends, and if there happens to be one scratching only one machine will operate, pay-Ing'-put .on the first horse only. The acceptances are: — • HACK HURDLES HANDICAP. .Of £110; about 1* miles.

I "The topweight, Havering, is a decidedly class horse, as his performances :on the flat have indicated. He is-well up to weight, and good judges consider him the making of a really fi*s,t-class jumper. Mangu King has been morie successful over steeplechase country, but he has same prospects in this field. Esteem, bred m the purple as the saying is, has probably imlor.e pace than anything in the race except Havering, and if he can jump should win. Diversion will ap-preciate-the distance, and can jump (exceptionally fast. Wilton is just a fair sort, and Valpai has yet to prove reliable. Of the others Hakanoa ani Great Britain make most appeal, though Silver Division (a full-brother to that'good horse Lett-Tim) has some performances to his credit that warrant* oaTeful consideration. His peculiar action detracts from accepting hitrti as good, but he is at least a fansort. Some of the others ai*e unknown quantities. To sum up the three best fancies will probably be Havering, Diversion and Esteem. MAIDEN HANDICAP.

This'is a big field, very even in duality. Anagram has earned top weight, and will probably be favour iU but Safe Bank, Square Acre and perhaps Rex Victor look likely sorts to trouble the topweight. Beau Valet is an unlikely starter.

W. G. PARK STEEPLECHASE. Of £130; about 21 miles.

Simeon has about 201bs more to capry than any of his opponents but he will probably be favourite, for he is in. foiim, and a fair sort. Spalpiko and St. Warrigal are fast and cleau jumpers, and the distance should be entirely to their liking, while Mangu King, if started here in preference to the-hurdles, Should be with them all the way. Wiltshire, twice winner of the -Grand National Steeplechase, has shown lately that he is not yet a spent light, and maybe he will be gaining a lot of ground in the last half-mile. King Albyri has yet to win,"but he can jump, and has a fair amount of pace. Simeon, Spalpiko, and- Mangu King will probably be backed in that order. i ARAPUNI HANDICAP. .'' Of £100; 7 fur.

r There ai«e some good hacks in this event, and selection's may take a wide range. " Versant may be reserved for the. Woodstock Stakes, and that should result in Loombination being favourite, but he is not noted for "getting off. the mark" quickly, so investors may look for something that can get a position on the rjails quickly, i Kanapa won a double at Tau-rariga-iri slightly weaker class, over a mfiie each time. The rest are very eV6n, and the best of them, may be Tin Lap, Gainful, Bonny Gay and Pelagia, with the local mare Arawa Rose Wso worthy of .consideration. and Benny Gay make iintost appeal. WOODSTOCK STAKES HANDICAP /y- , .Of £120; 11 miles.

• A lot <oi interest will centre in this

event, the principal flat race of the day. That good little sprinter Tradesman, is. top weight, and it is understood he ha's shown staying ability, so he must be considered. King's Archer, Protclmint and Mungatoon are the next three, but Mungatoon will not be a starter. If Pnotiomint could be relied on to leave the mark he would take a power of beating, fb.il he is a good middle-distance horse. King's Archer and L'Allegro should get the distance, especially as the straight i's a short one, but Prince Val can run the distance right out. Of the second half of the programme Trishna and Karangapai read as well as anything. Prolyxo is well bred but has been disappointing lately. Solarium also has the breeding, but it will be a new experience for him over ten furlongs. If Versant is started in this race imany investors will accept this as a tip. Otherwise the order of iiavduriteism may be King's Archer, Protom,int and L'Allegro. HACK AND HUNTERS' STEEPLECHASE. • Of £110; about 21 miles. st. lb. st. lb. Luminary... 10 3 Cordon 9 3 Glenade 10 0 Master Clan Albyn 9 2 Rona'.d 9 5 Muriel London 9 5 Comet 9 0 Valpai 9 5 Luminary and Glenade should be the favourites in this race, but Clan Ronald and Master Albyn may be troublesome, with a fair effort expected from Valpai if he can jump the country.

The final event of the day will see several making their second appearance, and investors should be guided by the earlier effort. Alpinus haying been destroyed, Kanapa and Moonfleet are top Aveights. The latter has the best performances, but is an uncertain customer. Record Flight and Royal Gallant are preferred, and they may dispute favouritism. Tuaheahe may beat Valueless at the distance, and of the others Crimestor may be the, best.
