VAMOOSE PICKED

First Leg At Invercargill

"The Press" Special Service INVERCARGILL, May 12. Vamoose, runner-up to Desert Chief in the Riverton Cup and an easy winner at the Cattle Flat Club’s non-totaltsator meeting a fortnight ago, looks a bright prospect in a seven-horse field in the Awarua Handicap, main event and first leg of the T A.B double on the opening day of the Southland Racing Club’s winter meeting tomorrow. McGregor, a runaway winner at his last two starts in hack company, looks a ready-made favourite for the second leg. the President's Handicap. There has been little rain during the last fortnight, and although the track will be slow it will be in good winter order. Selections:— 11.30 am.—Otatara Steeplechase: Ronson Light. Shootalong.
