RAGING AT MARTON

TO-MORROW'S PROGRAMME

SOME HORSES IN FORM'

There are only seven events on the programme for each day of the Marton Jockey Club's Summer Meeting, 'but fair fields have accepted for to-morrow's racing, and there-should be some good contests. The track is likely to be in line order. -The first race is timed to start at noon. . The programme and probpects are:— TRIAL MATE, of 70"boys; six furlongs. ' st lb st lb Paloneono .. 8 7 In Vain. 8 7 Marosia 8 7 Puicepapa ... s 7 Abdeek 8 7 BoaconsSirtd . '8 7 Arastar ..... 8 7 Umpire 8 7 Longford ... 8 1 Beet recent form' among the horses engaged in the Trial Plate is held by In Vain and Paioneone, and they are likely to command 'the principal support. Others who should race-well are Beaconsfield and Umpire. It looks like In Yam and Paioneone. FIRST HACK HURDLES, of 100 sots; one mile and a half. St. lb. St. lb. Arrowhead .. 10 12 Whisognc ... 0 5 Princess Snow Prince 9 2 Elizabeth 10 0 Okapua .... 0 0 In the First Hack Hurdles bettors will probably not want to look past Arrowhead. This horse has been racing very consistently, and might have won again at Awapuni on Tuesday had he not hit a fence hard along the back stretch. Whisogne and Princess Elizabeth will probably offer most opposition. It is not easy to passjby Arrowhead. NEW TEAK HACK HANDICAP, of SO sor3j, one mile--and 137 yards. st lb bt lb FaratOO _»w 9 3 Peep J 7 7 Adelpnl ~«« 8 1' Abbey. Queen . 7 7.

Paratoo and Adelphi are both in' form, and appear to hold easily the best prospects. Conjurer 11. and Spearopa have remoter chances. The public will probiably be satisfied to suppoit Paratoo and Adelphi. , 'MABTON- CUP, of 200 sots; • one mile and a quarter. st lb st lb Suanul 8 5 Arlkita 7 0 Desert Song . 710 Billion 7 0 Grand Jury .. 7 4 Briar Boot .. 7 0 Paratoo .... 7 3 Esteem 7 0 Nightmare ..7 2 Adelphi 7 Q On their showings at Awapuni Ruanui and Desert Song should play a most prominent part in the decision of the Marton Cup. Desert Song finished well behind Shrewd on Tuesday, and is evidently coming into good form again. Best of the others may be Esteem, Nightmare, and Billion., Good, efforts may be. expected from the Desert Song-Adclphi bracket and Ruanui. JUTENILE HANDICAP, of 90 sots; flva furlongs. st lb : st lb Interlocutor,..*• 9 0 Willowmere .79 Furlong .... 8 8 Jean Lidoslo . 7 7 In Vala'i.... B>l Sa&trugt .... 7 7. Holhoma ' ..■'..

Ti-esh - three-year-old blood m Interlocutor and Priseilla Verne, however, must be treated -with full respect,- while Hoihoma showed useful place form at Waipukurau. A:pair who read'well are Broken Rule and Sastrugi. KAIL WAY HASDIGAP; of 120 soys; six furlongs. st lb ' ■• st lb Acora .-.....- 7 11 Maul ;..... 7 4 Equttant ... 710 Rfdcemount ,74 l'rojan Melody 7 7 Artttinui ~.. 7 3 Statuary ....7 5 Monsogne .. 7 0 Leisure ..... 7 5. Cimabue will not be on hand for the Railway Handicap, and the issue amon? the others is quite open.' Equitant will be one of the prime fancies, end may encounter most trouble from Acora and Leisure. The last-named might have made a better return on the second day at Awapuni had her rider not lost an iron. Two who will be supported are Equitant and Leisure. , • DASH HACK HANDICAP, of 80 soys; six furlongs. 5t lb st lb Haulbowlino . 7 12 Happy Hit ..7 2 Interlocutor . 711 Abbey Queen 7 2 Lady Court ..76 Peep 7 0 Hyatrlde ... 7 3 Tranijuility ..70 Sanguine Kine 7 2 The Dash Hack Handicap should not be a hard race to win, and .if Interlocutor is .reserved he will be among the elect. Haulbowlihe, Lady Court, and Hystride are othera with good chances. With • the opportunity he has had . to freshen up, Sanguine King may also race prominently. The final hoiht may-include the numbers of Interlocutor and U&dy Court. I
