OPENING DAY TO-MORROW

SOME HORSES IN FORM

Ab the result of the H&wkes Bay earthquake last year the Gisborne Racing Club's Summer Meeting • was. not held ■on its allotted dates,.but the club later on in the season held one day o! its permit as the first day of, the Poverty. Bay-Gisborne Combined Meeting, then utilised; the other day <> for an additional Winter Meeting. This year the- Gisborne Club's Summer Meeting is being held again at its usual date> And the-fixture is set down for .decision tomorrow and on Saturday. : Good fields .have" accepted for. most of to-morrow's events, and it is expected that the-rmeeting ■will- be successful .from all points.-of .view.. .'.Some of the, horses engaged, have .not raced recently, but there is holiday, and' Wairoa form to assist as a-fan: general.guide, to prospects;, . .. •■ The programme and possibilities are:— ISi >APABA HACK HANDICAP,' pt SO soys: ■~ .:.:' ■ ■"' 7 sit .furlohffs. .

S 0: Sold Archer ; 8 8 Brown Sugar 713 Lord Aintree S 7 A quite, useful field is engaged in the Te Hapara Hack Handicap, and among horses who are expected to race well are* Imperial F.ame, Little Wonder, Lord Aintree,-and Stitch, all of whom have been recent ■winners. Tai Ao and Inflame are also well spoken , of, and Brown' Sugar must be considered because she is so handsomely weighted. A good pair may be Little Wonder and'"Brown Sugar. ITRST HURDLES HANDICAP, of 100 soys; one ~!•■■. mile and a half. ' .

St. Ames had a'race* on the flat at Ellerslie and may do better here, while Tall Timber is always liable to make a showing. Form points to Russet Moor and Simeon. ' FLYING HANDICA?, of SO soys; six ~:.. fuiiones. , 'v .- '..•/.' st lb ■■' . " .

White Wings' is credited with having worked well since; the Auckland Meetingi where, she tackled distances beyond a sprint. . r Lordly Knight and King Wanga are others. witK chances. It. is not;.«asy tojpaas by"'the"claims of White Wings and Toboggan. _' r '.

Among others who have been' racing welVare'Rapallo, Little Wonder, Bob- In, Aiguille," and; Earthquake. If Littles Wonder- is l reserved she- should ■prove one" of Jthe hardest to ; heat, and in her absence- Bob In-may.make the task of the :topweightß anything but .easy. The public will probably, ohoose the Sunny Sky—Sunny •• Song .bracket and Little Wonder (or Bob In). .-. . ... CASfcOLL MEMOBUL HANDICAP, of 130 sora; one mile. ■ < ...

Ellerslie form would also suggest Autumn Sun, but he appears to- have been lame' sines" his return to, the. East Coast, and may not b« able quite to give of his best. The public will support Valsier and Itlalahat. MAIDEN SCURRY, of 80 sots t all >8.0; flYe ■ . r furlongs. ■,:.., .... ~ . PrineeM Star ; Evermore ■ MUllon AM Taka lord Quex—Lady- Master.

Master Rank arid Black' Songster have previously shown some-form, and' the two-year-old Sunny Bachelor is reported to be a very promising" sort. Princess Star is-one of W. Goscombe's team from Takanini, and she may be capable of making a showing, as she is well spoken of;'•■'..A possible pair are Black Songster and Master Frank.

Imperial Fame; Little Wonder, Aiguille, and Brown Sugar are among, the number, and the best of them may be .the most troublesome opponents for the- pick of the new blood, Innuendo Measurer, and Wedding Bells. The final hoist may.include the numbers of Innuendo and Little Wonder.
