From what I can gather (says " Phneton " in the Auckland Weekly) it seems very improbable that any serious work will be required of St. Hippo until the back end of next season. To wind him up sooner would, it is thought, bring out the old weakness, while, on the other hand, an extended rest may prove the means of enabling the colt to undertake a preparation sufficiently strong to fit him for a battle against the Australian cracks next autumn. So far the wngoring on the big events of the coming Spring has been character* ised by weakness, and until the receipt of Australian papers this may be expected to continue. Cremorne may be said to be favourite for the Caulfield Cup at 100 to 4, and Stratbmore is a popular fancy lor the Melbourne Cup at the same price.
