Keipar, who figures in the. acceptance list for the concluding event at Eoxton, i? vorv well just now and H. Johnston should !.»♦• rewarded in the near future for the can- ho ha> shown with the Grey spear gelding. On Saturday morning Reipar slipped ovt'r six furlongs on the outside of the course proper, finishing a chain in front of Peter Jackson. The gallop was done from a barrier start and Reipar registered J min. which was a creditable effort. He was unlucky to meet a hack of Hunting Queen’s class in the Crofton Baek, (’up at Marton, and it must be remembered that he had to cover extra ground and then only went, under by a Carter ton Cup Winner. it is likely that the Carterton Cup winner, prostration, will be seen out at the Wanganui meeting next month. Prostration is very fit at present and so long as tracks are firm he may continue in his winning ways. A fivevear old son of Lord Quex, he wfts a c_ quired by Mr. H. W. Moss as a two-vear-old for onlv 85 guineas at the B’dwill dispersal sale, and though he has at, times been a didicult, horse to keep sound he has already proved a profitable investment, besides which he should win some good prizes next season. A gold cup valued at 60 guineas was attached to Saturday ’s stake, and Mr. Moss received lhe trophy after the contest from Mr. AV. Howard Booth, the president of the club.
