Holy Hal May Extend Record At Forbury

“The Press" Special Service

DUNEDIN. Holy Hal’s attempt to keep his winning record intact when he contests the Forbury Two-year-old Stakes will be one of the features of the last night of the Dunedin Festival Cup meeting today. ~

This race will be dispatched from behind the starting gate which could add to Holy Hal’s task as he has drawn the second hne. However, the Hal Tryax colt won so impressively at Rangiora in December that the task should not be beyond him.

He has raced well at trials in the meantime and is reported to be much improved.

Really Good and Montage are two Canterbury youngsters expected to make Holy Hal work hard for his win. Both have shown great promise in their limited racing and at trials.

Southlanders have high hopes of a win for Killadar, a colt by Garrison Hanover from Fair Annette, in D. P. Dynes’s Wyndham team. Killadar is regarded as one of the speediest two-year-olds ever seen in Southland and he could surprise.

Mokoreta, Authentic and Local Frost are three other prospects among the Canterbury pacers in the race. Local Frost being a half-brother by Thurber Frost to Arania. The T_A..B. double will be run on the Dunedin Festival Cup Final and the Mornington Handicap, Orbiter and Le Chant forming the likely favourite combination. However, neither horse exhausts the possibilities in two fairly open fields and there is plenty of room for a surprise.

There will be an on-course double run on the Plunket Handicap, which has drawn only seven starters, and the Visitors’ Handicap, the second race on the programme for which the starting gate will be used.

A few showers are forecast but unless there is heavy rain the track will be fast Fields:—
