THE NGARUAWAHIA RACES.
Fairly good acceptances have been received for the above races to be held on Saturday next. The principal events will be the Ngaruawhia Cup and Plate, for which there are nine and ten acceptances respectively. In the Cup of 50 sovs, one mile and a half, the top weight Annabelle, 9.0, looks like a winner, but Folly at 8,9 will trouble Mr Burke’s mare. Minnie can run a good mile and a half with 7.7, but I think the two top weights hold the field safe. The Ngaruawahia Plate of 20 sovs, about a mile and a quarter, should be won by Minnie, 7.8, or whichever of the Cup top weights escape penalty. Tattler, 11.4, or Potentate, 9.6, should furnish the winner of the Hurdle Race, and in the Flying Stakes, three quarters of a mile, Minnie, 8.0, or Te Kooti, 7.11, should fill first place. Rodney should win the Pony Race. Pansy or Decoy appear to be the best in the Maiden Plate, and Viceroy should win the Novel Race.
