Lowe have already won over twenty races this season. Xast year tho stablo contained winners of no fewer than 4-1 races. A. Oliver gained in weight during the trip ' from Sydnoy, to' Wellington, but he stated . that he wonld be able to ride at Bst., or a shade under, at the Foilding meeting, ' The Daunt gelding Moata, who has been a familiar figure at the Miramar meetings for the past year, has been handed to 'R. Eagar to train. Eoyar has now ten horses in work at Miramar. Ho leaves for Lower Hutt to-day with fouT members of his team that aro en- „ gaged at the Hntt Park meeting next Saturday. '
