RACING.
FIXTURES. May 36 —Amberley. June 2, 4 —Otaki-Maori. June 2,4, 6 —Dunedin. June 2,4, 6 —Auckland. TURF TOPICS. Dick’S trainer, R. Alexander, stated at Wanganui that the pony was making as good progress as could be expected from the results of the injury received at Hawera. Just whether he will go on to Ellcrslic is a matter of doubt at the moment. Ellerslie without Dick in June will not be quite complete.
Following on his win in the Wanganui Steeplechase, Brigadier Bill is fancied by his immediate connections for the Great Northern Steeplechase, and he stays on better than most expected. At the same time, when he is pitted against the out-and-out stayers as fit as he is he may not do so well. At present in the weakness of jumping talent he must not be written off. The thing that may trouble him most at Ellerslie is the ascent and descent of the hill. At the same time, his Wanganui effort cannot be called anything but meritorious, and he has gained friends for the Great Northern Steplcchase.
