XURF notes. Braen King is in the Auckland Cup, but after Saturday’s display he does not look a good proposition. However, under a light weight and over two miles the unexpected may happen. L. G. Morris will take a small team to Auckland, The Buzzer and Oratory being two certain to go. B. H. Morris will ride Oratory, who ran second in the Railway Handicap last year, but no rider has been engaged definitely for The Buzzer. It is probable that H. N. Wiggins will be in the saddle. Catalogue is not going to Auckland, but Mrs McDonald will take The Crooner and Sudan north. Mr E. L. Barnes, owner o’f Catalogue, has been seriously ill at Christchurch since the New Zealand Cup meeting, but he is now recovering, and Catalogue may race at the Manawatu meeting.
