SOME USEFUL POINTERS FOR TROTS AT WANGANUI

AUCKLAND, Last Night (OO With the iirst-day form clearly defined, investors on the second day of Ihe Wanganui Trotting Club’s meeting on Saturday should not have such a (horny path to travel, although where winners have stepped up a grade they will create a prob cm for the best in the new classes they have reached. Where successful candidates remain in the area in which they succeeded the penalties allotted do not appear to have dimmed their second-day prospects. The case of the trotter Sirius is an example, as after a dual victory - last Saturday she is only 3(5 ond 48 yards behind respectively in the City Handicap and the Ballance Itandicap, in which races she must i-gnin be respee'ed. Sirius is not as lucky as was Don Parrish, a division winner at Thames off 3.36 for a mile and a-ha f, who was not penalised at the distance and won at the Auckland meeting shortly afterwards. Backers did not. observe the handicapper’s tip and Don Parrish j paid over four score to win. j Last week’s maiden pacer winners i Ennolp, Gav Warrior, Parrish Mills and Bill Thorpe, have moved into the i improvers’ s4?tion and should make i their presena > felt. Bracketed with Old Scotch, tyjio is still in the same section, EniWtyMs likely to be in good demand.

Parrish Mills appears to be a good I < • (product of the one-time smart, pacer |1 ■ I Orleigh Mills, and the success was j j E j popular as it marked a return to the ■ I winning flst of the Olaki trainer J. 1 i j Flanagan, who in earlier years had 1 i good success with the double-gaited i i I Wakefield, Native Berry and others. ’ I The rangy' Bill Thorpe has as much j ? as many in higher grades, and once Isafely on the journey can trouble the i i best. Gay Warrior has yet to over- f I I come a tendency tc tang.e under 1 ■ j pressure, but is always a distinct pos- 1 ’ sibility. “ s ’ | Interest will centre in the showings 1 of the more than useiul 'Pyrone Power Lin the Liverpool Handicap and the f i Farewell Handicap, and whi.e he is • meeting horses of higher calibre than i : those lie defeated last week, Cros 11 Moran’s pacer will be a tnorn in the r i side of the opposition, and he will in- ! vest the big event with additiona. ini . ’’CStWhile entries for the Auckland Labour week-end nice ing are large, j generally, there are not many in the , ; £2OOO Fred Smith M 'morial. The ( (tight limit did not suit many loca’s. t i five being entered, including a brack- J ’et of throe. Lone Raider, Doctor Ted > jand Double Peter.
