ASHBURTON TRADESMEN'S RACING CLUB.

With each large fields as have aooepted for to-morow's races it ia no easy matter to " flpot the winners," Wo will, howerer, give our opinions for what they may be worth. In the Hurdle| Raoe Handicap, Picanini, on his running over the same conrso three weeks ago, mast have a grout j Chance, hot Mb penchant for running off is j •gainst him, aad we prefer iho ohanoe of | the veteran Kavenswood. ! The Soling Bardic Race looks a certainty for Nero. The Aehbnrton Plnte has secnred eleven acceptors, including some who have not previously figured m a raoe of thla.olasß. If Liverpool were at his bett we should look no further for the Winner, bat bs it is we Bhall conplo with i him Moss Re sb. . I It 1b always very diffionlt to pick the winner of a trot, and for to-morrow'n event, we will only suggest that Minnie ■eems to have as good a chance as anything. Oar gentlemen riders will be afforded ftn opportunity of distinguishing them■elves m the raoe for the Ladles' Brace' let. The unbeaten South Canterbury horse DiDDY Longlkgs will have the benefit of Mr Oox'a able horaotDansbip, and we expect to sea him first past the winning poat. .Annie Laurie or Swami-heu* should carry oft the Haok Race, for whloh there li a large field of fourteen: The seventh race is the Flylncr Handicap ' m whloh Jack, if m his old for, should be equal to the task of carrying the top weight to viotory.
