OTAKI RACES

Good Fields For Today

(By St. Simon.) The Otaki Maori Racing Club will hold its soring meeting at Otaki today. Large Helds drawn mainly from district stables, nr,‘ carded in all events. The Puhi Maiden lias been divided into two races, these, being the second and fifth events, and nroGsion has also been made to run the Katihiku .Handicap and the Merna Chamnion Hack Handicap in divisions. In the lii-st-named event the acceptors exceed the safety number by live and. in the Merna Handicap bv one, so. ttiere is every prospect of divisions being avoided in these ra i<tellowing a spell of fine weather during which the track dried up. there was heavy rain at Otaki on Thursday night and yesterday was showery, so a soft track for the racing is inevitable. Betting will be conducted under the winand Place system, and the following horses arc likely to be well supported.— Kapiti Hurdles.—Po-Huka, Sandy Cape, Tl Ko? r i Puhi Maiden.—Cramond Bay, Note K Ling P Me n mori'a a i’ Stakes.—Broiveinc, Don Q pahiko n Handicap.—Corday, Fox Cover, Maldem —Great March, Tara K katihiku K Handieap._First Division: Golden Aero, The Grand.
