N.Z. CUP REHANDICAPPING
The holding of a three-day Spring. Meeting by the Wellington Racing Club this. year will possibly render the liability to rehandicap for the New Zealand Cup more frequent than in other .years. Still, rehandicap for any such success at Trentham. does not necessarily follow, and it may, be assumed that it will be applied judiciously, as in the past. The rehandicap condition attached to the New Zealand Cup is': —"The winner, after, declaration of weights, oi: any race of the value of 200 soys or of any race or races of the value of 400 soys may be rehandicapped, provided that no horse be rehandicapped to carry over weight-for-nge." One thing that this means is that a good three-year-old may sweep the board at Trentham and still remain at a light; weight in the New Zealand Cup, for weight-for-age in the race for three-year-olds is 7.6 for colts aud geidings and 7.1 for fillies. In 1905 Xoctuiforni, penalised, lib to the maximum 7.0 (and carrying lib overweight) followed his aen.sa^ tional Win in the A.J.C Derby by making hacks of a New Zealand Cup field. Indigo's dead heat, in 1914 is the only three-year-old success since.
