TO RACE AT TE RAPA Lou Rosa's next appearance in public will be at the Waikato meeting on February 21 where he will be ridden in the principal event by W. J. Broughton. PATIENCE REWARDED After a long run of non-success with his horses Mr J. C. Edwards, known principally as the owner of Orate, scored a win in the Trial Handicap avitJi Fight On in his first start. The winner ran a very solid race, and although vigorously challenged in the home run held on Avell to defeat a strong field. CONDITION OF FOXOLA One of the best conditioned competitors in tlie Takapuna Cup Avas Foxola. But her Aveight 8.5. Avas rather more for the elcA'cn furlongs than she Avas entitled to. and under the circumstances she did Avell to finish close up fourth. A COME BACK fn Avinning the Takapuna Cup Clinch staged a long delayed "Come Back." Two years ago lie Avon Cup events in brilliant style but later sustained a severe fall the effects of Avh ich affeeted his racing chances for a long lime. His trainer. E. George, of Ellerslie, neA'er lost faith in the ability of the Appellant— Marble Bell representative, and his justification in this respect Avas fully proved on Saturday. He Avas Aietorious under 7.4, and from now on he Avill be awarded a bigger poundage. A WIN FOR NEENAH ft Avould appear that Neenah must have been improved bA' his attack of bleeding at the Wellington meeting, for Avhen it comes to racing in the Wynyard Plate, he never left the issue in doubt and ran quite his best race to date. Cathro had him very Avell on the day, and he should register further successes. LLANDAFF, THE SPRINTER In the Devonport Handicap, the smart sprinter Llandaff, shewed a lack of staying abilitA'. He Avas in front for fh'e furlongs, but Avhen challenged by Bromven failed to maintain his position. PROUD FOX IMPROVING Proud Fox shoAved definite improvement I) 3' running third to Sea Law and British Mint in the Rangototo Handicap, and may register a Avin soon now that he is somewhat down in the handicaps. There is ncc doubt about his class Avhen Avell. CHERRY PLUM IN WpRK The Hawke's Bay steeplechaser. Cherry Phi in, lias just been taken up again after a lengthy spell. He Avas successful over the big jumps last -winter and with a year added to his age should .show good fi-rni this season, THE KOTORIA MEETING The 11 *•!
