The owner of Martello was a pasengor for Lyttelton by last night's boat. The news that his horse was showing signs of soreness Caracas a severe blow to punters as tho son of Hotchkiss was well backed since his Trentham victories. It will, ho noticed that I have left him out of my calculations on account of tho rumour, but should he go to the post to-morrow I would expect' him to beat the majority of tho starters. The lightweight jockey ; D. PricOj arrived from Sydney yesterday in connection with his engagement to pilot Apa in tho New Zoalaud Cup. ; The V.R.C; meeting commences at Plemington to-morrow, when tho Derby and the Melbourne Stakes will bo decided. .= .: • .
