Bright Pick

"The Press” Special Service AUCKLAND. The Auckland trainer, C. A. Robinson, could have a most successful day at the Matamata Racing Club’s meeting today. Robinson has five horses engaged and all look good chances. One of his team is Bright Chief, likely favourite in the first leg of the T.A.B. double, the President’s Handicap. The other Robinson trained gallopers competing are Chief Warrior (Tainui Handicap), Smokev City (Tokoroa Handicap), Hilight (Okauia Steeplechase) and Mr Charlie (Arawa Handicap). Bright Chief, a five-year-old, is the form horse in the President’s Handicap. His last four starts have brought him a win and three minor placings, all against good company. At his last start, Bright Chief finished second to Craddock in the Churchill Handicap, 11 furlongs, at Avondale last Saturday. His win was three starts previously in the Poland Cup, 11 furlongs, at Paeroa. Mr Char Me Is one of the most consistent hack gallopers in the north and even with 9-4 wiM be hard to beat in the Arawa Handicap. He won easily over 11 furlongs at Avondale on Saturday. HiHght will make his debut over the bigger fences today. He will be ridden by P. K. Cathro. who will have his first ride for more than nine months. A victory would be well received.
