Weights for tho Wellington meeting are duo to-morrow, and acceptances close on Saturday next at 9 p.m. The form of the two -year-olds this autumn has shattered the reputations,of Surveyor and Crenides, while it has established that of'.Affectation- and Misa Mimic, aud the latter pair go into winter quarters as tho best colt and filly of tho year. Tho. former looks like turning out a Derby proposition, and Miss Mimic has only got to train oil and the Oaks should fall to her. None of the two-year-olds are better bred than Affectation, nor do they appeal more as Derby colts. This season Affectation has always had a scratchy action, but with a good spell during the winter ho should be able to throw this off beforo he again .races. However, by the time tho-Derbies come on there will bo several others to, dispute his title, notably. Golden Bubble and Macduff, neither of whom have yet been seen at their best. Miss Mimic is a good advertisement for the imported Sanquhar, who' got 'the ' Champagne Stakes ■winner at his first season at the fituu. Miss Mimic has always held a high place ' iii the opinions of the track watohers at Eiccai'ton, and as far back as February, when' she scored at Wingatui,,it was freely given out that by • the time, the C.3.C. Champagne Slakes enme on she would bo capable of reversing the' Middle Park Plate form, in which she finished second to Surveyor: :Yesterday her rrefience in "the 'Challenge' Stakes was' the means of Gloaming giving a'much better reliii'ii lliaii'is usual: with ' the triple Derby winner.' This shows' how highly Miss Mimic is regarded in the south. TROTTING METROPOLITAN CLUB ACCEPT- . ANCES.; • By. Telegraph-Press Association.; Christchurch,. April. 22.
