RACEHORSES AND THE STRIKE.
On account of the strike of waterside workers, owners and trainers are wondering what will happen when they proceed to ship their horses to Lytteiton en route to the New Zealand Cup meeting. There are more horses at Tren-t-ha'm at present than have ever previously competed at a. spring meeting there, and a great many of them are to go on to the Canterbury Jockey Club's fixture at Riccarton. The opinion prevails that if tho strike lasts no horses from here will go south. Some argue, however, that as the waterside workers comprise a large army of men who follow racing, that they will allow the shipping of racehorses to proceed no matter what else they object to. In the meantime those horses bound for the Auckland Racing Club's meeting appear to be in a more fortunate position. Among this number of Mr. T. H. Lowry's Soltano, who will be sent north to contest the Great Northern Guineas. A. Oliver goes north to rido Soltano and Bobrikoff on the first day at Ellerslie, after which the crack horseman returns south to ride Mr. Highden's horses at Riccarton. » ________
