WANGANUI HORSES FOR OTAKI WERE NOT TIMED

With thick waves of fog sweeping the course, the timing of gallops by Wanganui horses claiming engagements at the Otaki meeting tomorrow was impossible save in a couple of instances yesterday morning. The fast work was done on No. 1 grass track, with the poles about 12ft out. Eulo, who is to race at Feilding on Saturday of week, slipped over three furlongs fast, but with the pegs obscured she could not be timed. Wave Crest (Couchman) and Meriden (B. Carroll) were not extended in running five furlongs in 1.5. The Pro, who is engaged in the six-furlong Waitohu Hack Handicap tomorrow, was doing it easily over five furlongs in 1.6 3-5. Flying Cash, under a good hold, recorded 1.22 for six furlongs. He appears in good order for his engagement in the Te Horo Hack Handicap. Flying Fox and Barlous finished together at the end of five furlongs but could not be timed. Good Record, who appears in good fettle, was doing it attractively over a similar journey. Paisley, Aberdeen and the Coronach gelding in Marks' stable were not extended over six furlongs. The firstnamed may not fulfil her Otaki engagement tomorrow.
