RACES AT TRENTHAM

TO-MOEEOW'S OUTLOOK

SOME HORSES IN FORM

Tlic big fields that Wave accepted for the " Hawkes Bay Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting- at 'Trentham to-morrow ensure that X.the .racing. will bo keenly" contested, and "racegoers slioujd be well satisfied after-wards-with..the fare provided. The club has not experienced a fortunate run in recent years,'■.■'mid the meeting is being '' "Held' at Trentha.m for its ■ financial beneiit. To assist towards this end the stewards of the Wellington Racing-Club have granted the use: of-alt" the grounds, buildings, ■: and totalisator free of any charge. The charges for admission have been fixed as follows:—Men (to .the lawn), 7s Cd, and women, 2s 6d; outside enclosure, 2s. JSo complimentary- tickets are being issued. ■■" The weather during the week has been fine, and the track has steadily recovered -from the drenching it had recently. Ihc 'soing promised to be'first class, and should be of much assistance to the.form horses. .•-' -The' programriie and prospects are:— AIANCiATAKATA HURDLES, of : ISO soys; one mile and v half. ■ . 12.2 p.m. st ID .. «t "> Callamart .... 10 Jl Lucrctla ..•• » 8 Hymgrcat .... 10 1 Landmark ..

KlUabeth 9.0 "•■ The quality -of jumper engaged in the JMarigatarata" Hurdles is not particularly strong, but. Callamart, Hymgreat, and iunbridge have won over the battens during the Mast couple-of months, and there are it least two promising recruits in the held in Spearopa. "and :Kopje. '. Of the performed : horses Hymgreat makes the mam appeal, for lie appears not to have been the luckiest of runners at Feilding; but Callamart, in stfito of his ascending weight, cannot be left out of calculations, and Tunbridge, ■'•<jni Baogitikei. form, is also decidedly posable. Spearopa, who was second at his Second essay, over the fences at Feilding, may also be a danger, for he has been *e]»66ling Well since." I/ucretia is coming " ~to hand again" as well, but little is known about his ability to fence; if he is proficient- in this respect he may take a hand in the decision. A b'koly pair arc Hymgreat anil Spearopa. rO/UKAYvA HANDICAP, ot loO'sovs; .:. ;'■' "■' ' six furlongs.- - '.' - 12.42 p.m. '■•''■'•'■■■ :. - ■''•' .'.' . st'lb'' : '■' "I >h ■■'■• •Tofcaccoland" .-. n■•'■ 3 -Blacksmith" ..

' ,The remarkable. consistency shown by Kozan entitles' him to. what preference there is between them, but it should never- - tbeless not bo overlooked that • Wallaruh comes from G-. W; New's stable, whose : representatives seldom return from Trent-.-ham .without some, success...-. Others who ' will have followings; arc . Tobaccoland, Ephialtes, Glen Rossie, Jenny Diver, und .Tayson. Tobaccoland went a fair second in open company at Tauhercnikau, " ; and a slight improvement .on" tliat form will make him dangerous, in'spile of his ••-weight. Jenny Diver is another whose form has been steadily improving, and her turn cannot be far away.. The field con- ' tainsl possibilities'.; of- -a ■•-surprise, among the likeliest elements being perhaps Saltpot .and Joie.'de Val. Bettors will prob- ■ ably suni up strongly for Kozan and Wal- '. laruh; :,•"■.'

Gallant Fox is a .-. wjsjl-bred son of.Hunting Song, and he has v.nbt done much racing,- but- on what has ' been seen of him he is gmng to make ..good.: His principal opposition will probi" ably beprovided by Richborough, who fin- - ished with, a brilliant rim when he won on the: second day at Tauhercnikau, after be- - ing badly left on the first day, and. Gay '.Court, who is'better than -his perform--ances :to . date indicate Others with - chances arc Innuendo, a good winner lately in poor company, the. oracketed quar- .'. tet—^lVlovietone, White . Squall, Fairwiud, "and Foghorn—and the Southern improver, Zeebrugge. The best returns may be made by Gallant Fox: and Gay-Court.

A fortnight agn Lady Qiicx would :: Til most' certainly have been the- elect, but ~ her dual defeat afc Avondale by. Suprcm..acy, on Wednesday at a .difference of only '71b', will ■probiibly'.relegate her below him in public estimation.' Supremacy is a ■; brilliant customer at his best,, and he certainly appears to have struck true form at.last. .Another who will come;in for a Jot of support is Tenterden, who ran away . with the two-sprints at Tauhercnikau, and is evidently in fine fettle at present. The ." three na,nied.sliould beat the others, but if -"Gallant Fox is reserved his chance could .be discounted only at a great risk. Simba also has more than an "outside chance. Two who should be in at the .finisli are ■■Supremacy and Tenterden. "■ • ' ;' :: HAWKES EAT CUP,'of 300 snvs ; •' one mile-and throe ' furlongs. ; 2.53 p.m. "st lb ■-'-■ ■ st-ll!

However, she may not have things all her own way, for My Own, "at 61b better terms;"- was more -than her match at Ellerslie over a furlong further, .-.and this mare comes from a family that usually goes ojr with it once any of them ,-. strikes-: winning form.. Others .who may menace her book supremacy are White Fang and Stniighteourse, winners "at Tauhcrenjkau. White Fang'finished vei's' stout, ly both "days at Easter, and the-'extra distance should not worry him unless the pace "5s on solidly all the way.- "Best.among the others may be Puhii; who won "on the coursein the .spring, and showed a. glimpse •of.-returning form by .running second to -My- Own at tho -recent-Manawatu Meeting. Two who'may do as well as any arc .Lady I'am and While Fung. ...'.'. HIGH-WEIGHT HACK HANDICAP, of 100 soys; one mile ituc! a quarter. . 3.32 p.m. st'lb .. st Hi .SiiearCill •' !l 7 Zcphyrlis ■ ...

restricted' to hurdle horsemen, as is usually the case with such events at Trentham, bears an extremely open 'appearance, and, while the search for the winner will possibly be most profitable if conducted near the head of tho list, the contest on paper is-by no means confined to this section. Air 'Laddie and Cessation are sure to make strong appeal to bettors, and they arc the natural favourites, with .what preference there is likely to bo shown Cessation. However,' Jenny JDiver, if reserved for this race, may, well extend them, and Martian Chief, Zepliyi'us, and Spear Lad are also definite prospects. If there is a surprise it may be provided by The Sun, whose race form lias not lately been consistent with his track trials. Favourites will probably be: Cessation and Air Laddie.

Riccarton form speaks foi- Autopay.. who is not harshly treated on the score of weight. He is small, but he is short-backed and nuggety, and.he will probably be found up to fair, imposts. The size of the field rather than the weight may,prove his undoing. Three who are likely to extend him to the utmost are Kaliikatoa. Malayan, and Lineage, for they should be capable ; of obtaining a commanding position early in the race, and this will be of big assistance. Lineage is a brilliant galloper, and she. is .nicely in at S.I. If she does not bleed she will be one of the hardest to beat. Llandudno, Staghunter, .md Dainty Ways are others with some appeal. There will be good support for Lineage and Malayan. AKITIO HACK HANDICAP, of 130 soys; .- .-■ , five furolrfgs.

Kozan, Wallaruh, -. and • Eplmiltes ■ will- need • -the same respect jf.started, here unpcnaliscd, as they are entitled to in the earlier race, but their task-sliould be harder. Tea Queen has. hoi' .siiiU'c of weight, but .she has a lot" of- speed and is probably litter now than she has been at any other part of the season. In such company "she is entitled to full consideration. False Scent races bettor second time up, and if he is making his second appearance this fact is worth remembering. Lower down are other prospects in Eminent, Hystrid^ Little Triish, and Whito Doe, among whom Eminent and the unlucky Little Thrush may show to most advantage. Henry of Navarre and Royal Bengal are also not without chances in view of their recent showings. Tlio fiual hoist may include Tea Queen and Eminent.
