SPORTING.

By Prolmhle.

Racing at Marton was conducted in very unfavourable weather, the heavy rains making the going very bad ai d most of the lawn paddock a sea ct slush. Nevertheless, there was a good attendance, and improved totalisator receipts. Arthur Olliver proved what a .capable horseman he is by annexing no less than five wins throughout the meeting in good style, especially when he rode Ney in the final scurry was the win meritorious. Charley Jenkins was dead in trouble the next day, which cost him a modest tenner for breaking away in the Maiden with Rawhetu, and £5 for allegedly making uncouth remarks to the judge when that official placed Frisco first and Waikaraka second. This decision brought forth much disapproval from the general public, who fail to remember they are not in the only position to judge correctly. Fifty yards from the post Jenkins was winning easy on Waikaraka, and was keeping a keen eye °u .Saga .only, who had been hard to shake off right up the straight, when it is alleged that Frisco came with a late run on the rails and just got there. This is borne out by most of the press representatives present, and it is quite possible that Waikaraka was defeated. Nevertheless, the latter could have won bv lengths. It is said that Frisco’s connections did not expect him to run so forward, whilst a lot of Waikaraka money was sent away to win only, which means that these parties did not participate in the second div. The whole countryside seemed to be waiting for Jim Bull’s Belario, with the result that, pitted against a weak field on Thursday, he won easily and paid the ridiculously small price of £1 9s. This nag was unfortunate in not gaining the verdict first.day- Got chopped out at the barrier, was third to last when a furlong had been covered, fully fifty yards behind the leaders, and then fought out a head and bead finish with the first and second horses. His price was 2to 1 against that tune, and with ordinary luck, Jim Bull would have again relieved the books of much cash.

Moata won Handicap in easy fashion, and with onty 7.9 on its back at Horowhenua should win again, as this nag has improved out of all knowledge.

Jervy George’s Ney, a robust looking black by Soult, should go on winning sprint events this season as he has lots of pace.

Old Peruvian was running a good race in the Hack Steeples when he fell at the second fence from home. Billy Young was the jock, and it is a peculiar coincidence 'that his stable mate, Harvey Futcher, also came a cropper at the same jump. Both lads escaped unhurt, and, congratulating themselves with the usual shake of the hand, the novel sight was witnessed of seeing these lads double-bank a nag and finish the steeple course, amid cheers. Fred Whitehonse, who came a cropper off Bullworth earlier in the race, did not fare so lightly, and as a result of internal injuries had to be conveyed to the Wanganui Hospital, where he is progressing satis factor ily. Dulcinea was in a galloping mood and won the Hack Hurdle double in good style, while Compass should catch the judge’s eye over the fences before long.

Onyx is now in Atwood’s stable, and shows considerable improvement. Jenkins rode one of his best races on St. Joe, when that nag won the Marton Handicap for Preston.

Horowhenua meeting should be largely attended bj r sports, and Marton given as a guide punters should 1;e able to sort out the winners fairly easy.

Tommy Pritchard is riding a lot of winners lately. It was Tom who steared Redshank home t’other day when that prad paid odd. Kareroa strikes me is one that can win whenever the boodle is in. He is very good, so be on the look out, sports !
