NAPIER.
September 20. St. Hippo and The Dancer, both of whom have nice racing weights, have been backed since their successful performance in Auckland. All the local horses are striding along well, and some of them will make a bold bid to keep all the big stakes here this Spring. At a committee meeting of the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club yesterday some gentlemen riders were elected. Messrs. Cohen and Stack’s tender for the use of the totalisator for the season was accepted. The programmes of the Waipawa, Town and Suburban, and Woodville Clubs were approved. The programmes of the Herbertville and Porongahau Clubs were referred back for alteration.
Next Tuesday is general entry and acceptance night in connection with the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club’s Spring Meeting. Kotuku, the New Zealand Cup candidate, who is in splendid health, has been sent to Christchurch to complete her preparation for the big November handicap.
