RACING.
FEILDING RACES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) FEILDING This Day. For the first day of the Feilding races there is glorious weather. The track is in splendid condition. Results; WAITUNA HURDLES. Eerie 1 Bonnibrook 2 Nukumai 3 Scratched: Otaura Kid, Antler. Won by ten lengths. Time. 3.18. TURF TOPICS. When Admiral Codrington won the Woodville Handicap last December, he carried 8.2, or five pounds less than he will be asked to carry in the contest for the same event next month.
No one denies the fact that Joy Bide has proved himself a good horse, but it really looks as if the weight-lifter has marked him out in connection with the summer meeting of the Woodville Jockey Club, for the son of Merry Moment and Sanguine has got the draught-horse load of 10.9 in the Borough Welter (7 furlongs), and is giving those on the minimum mark 37 pounds, states a Napier writer. Therefore it would not be surprising to see Joy Bide remain in his ‘box at Greemneadows. Still, that form of policy does not cut much ice with the handicappers, for they argue that you cannot expect to get weight off by staying at home in the stable. Start and get beaten and then sufficient public proof -will be forthcoming to illustrate jhat the weight was unjust.
