SWIFT QUARRY FANCIED AT TE AROHA
PRESIDENT’S HANDICAP PROSPECTS (Special) Auckland, Jan. 16. Thanks to heavy rain last weekend, which eased the tracks considerably, very good fields are engaged at the Te Aroha Jockey Club's fixture tomorrow, there being sixteen engaged in the £lOOO President’s Handicap and a similar number in the open sprint. The going will be firm, for with the fine weather the track would be drying up during the latter part of the week. With the drop in the class for the President’s Handicap as compared with the big events at headquarters, even the most modest of northern hir.c.icap horses are up m tne weights, and this may result in a lUrprise. Swift Quarry has shown up in his two last outings, so he may be returning to form. Black Ace was a winner last month at Paeroa, where he triumphed narrowly over Balgowan. Lord Barwon’s Auckland Cup injury could not have been serious. Frontier Mac, Foxfable, Peggy O and Miss Carolina seem to be the pick of the others. Of those named Swift Quarry gets the call. They are an even lot in the Flying Handicap, and perhaps a recruit from the hack ranks in Angeline will be the right one to have on side. General Mentelth, Contango, Desert Patrol, Gwen Vaals and Mindora appear the best of the others.
The following should be well supported in their engagements:— Manawaru Hurdles. Merriful, Bold Tide, Airlie. Elstow Hack. First Division: Yusuf, Happy March. Second Division: Our Dink, Miss Virginia. Electric Handicap. Golden Eulogy, Cloyrayn, Lady Brazen. President’s Handicap. — Swift Quarry, Foxfable. Frontier Mac. Wairakau Handicap. Vigilantia, Queen Rey, Brown Duke. Flying Handicap. —General Menteith, Angeline, Contango. Morrinsville Hack. Quick March, Levane, Bycroft. Piako Handicap. Swanee, Brockton, Fifth Note. The acceptances are.— 10.45
