MANAWATU HUNT

AWAPUNI PROSPECTS Providing the third successive Saturday’s racing at Awapuni, the Manawatu Racing Club’s meeting will be staged to-nay, and tnat there is no dearth of horses at this stage of the season is evident from the fact that large fields are engaged throughout. In the Maiden Stakes, it will be noted, acceptors are so numerous that the i event will have to be run in divisions. ; The track is certain to be on the soft ] side, though it may have dried up a i little as compared with last Saturday s ! going. Form on the two days of the Mana- ; watu Racing Clubs winter meeting I may provide a reliable guide in most i of the events, but there are several : fresh horses to make matters interesting. The popularity of win-and-place i betting makes it almost certain that, I with fine weather, last year’s turn- ; over of £63,482, under the single-pool ; ■system, will be exceeded. i Principal cross-country event is the j Manawatu Hunt Cup Steeplechase, for : which there were twelve acceptors, I but Master Francis will be an absen- I tee. Most interest will be taken in the i clash of Golden Tide, winner of the ( hack steeples last Saturday, and Eller-' ton Hall, who won the Akitio Hack J and Hunters’ Steeplechase at the ! Manawatu June meeting. Both are ' trained by J. J. Waller at Awapuni | but they race in different ownerships. Strong Thread. Phalaria <a doubtful stayer) and Te Ranui (third last Saturday) may also appeal. The other event over the big obstacles is the Kennels Steeplechase. Northfield is also engaged at Stratford, i Phalaria led for nearly two miles last Saturday and may make the necessary j improvement. Penwilt has won over j the country, and Light Tea and Ring i Scarf also look like shaping well. Donegal Bay and Gay Flame, who filled the minor places behind Beneve | in the Victory Hurdles a fortnight; ago at Awapuni, may be the elect of backers in the Hack Hurdles, with | Keen Play likely to improve on his | display in that event. Principal flat race will be the; President’s Handicap, run over seven i furlongs. Typhoon heads the list with ' 9.7 and cannot be passed over because he is a class performer. Sir Bradbury and Blue Chips may be best of the | others. The Tararua Hack Cup is run over J ten furlongs, and Lord Darnley, even with 9.13, has run such good races in • open company that he may be selected I to make a strong bid in what may be I his* final essay in hack ranks. Persuade appears to have struck form,’ and Blackwater and Havildar may do best of the remainder. Racing is to start at 10.45 a.m. and | the following may be fancied in their < respective engagements:— Kennels Steeplechase.—Penwilt. Pha-! laria. Light Tea. Kiwitea Ladies’ Bracelet. Lambro. ■' Mary Lee. Te Ranui. I Pukehou Hack Hurdles. Gay Flame. < Donegal Bay. Keen Play. Kimbolton Maiden Stakes. First! Division: Co-operate. The Den-j high. Second Division: Incision, i Nanaaki.
