NEW ZEALAND CUP.
The New Zealand Cup is less than seven weeks off, the leading twomile event at Riccarton being set down for decision on Saturday, November 4, the opening day of the Canterbury Jockey Club’s three days’ Cup meeting. Nominations for the Cup are due with the secretary, Mr. W. H. E. Wanklyn, on Friday evening next (September 20) at 8 p.m. Indications point to highly satisfactory nominations being received, it being well known that many of the best handicap horses in the Dominion are regarded as certain to make the trip to Riccarton should the weights allotted them prove a sufficient inducement to be represented in the big two-mile contest. The Cup is again worth 2000sovs, and the list of entries received on Friday evening will probably be found to contain the names of every horse of note in the Dominion with any prospects of success in this much-coveted event. The handicaps for the New Zealand Cup will make their appearance on Friday, September 27.
