NOTES AND COMMENTS

(By “Tohunga.”) Tie South Canterbury Jockey Club commences its autumn meeting to*day. The fields engaged arc qu:,to up t standard.

The first race is the Maiden Piute, JU which ten horses are Blue Admiral and Barrister may run as yell as any of tho others. In the mile race, Gladstone Handicap, there are eight acceptors, Fabisco heMiing the list with 9.9. Zephland (9.3) may prove a hotter horse, and Maraa with one pound less has a good chance, .

The sprint event, the Smithfield Handicap, run over five furlongs, has some smait gallopers. If Braid is sapped out, there should he somoualag n v-ng. Sleepy Head had a reputation once. The Timaru Cup has a field of nine to run over tho seven furlongs. Melee, who also figures in the Smithfield Handicap, will probably be reserved for the <lup, and the sou ,of Mur trill . should perform creditably. tie l is only a three-year-old, but should be able to carry his 8.5. Caverock, with 7.12, may run as well as most of the others engaged. And John Barleycorn may find a place.

The Otipua Steeplechase has nothing noteworthy amongst the contestants, of which there are half a dozen. Vascular is conceding Luigi 241 b, and may find that a difficult winning proposition. Ho is the best of the others, tor ail that.

The Electric Stakes, of tom furlongs, in which all carry 8.5, has drawn a field of sixteen. ■ There is nothing startling in its composition. Radial appears to be the best of the bunch, and his foremost adversary may be The Sapper. Lady Superior figures amongst the acceptors for the Koaawill Handicap, and with 8.5 to carry over the five furlongs should be well up. Mythology, a threo-year-old gelding by Vice-Admi-ral from Fairy Benzine, may find a place. Burrangong heads the list in the Doncaster Welter, and should be one of. the hardest horses to beat. Sisyphus has a chance over the mile. EGMONT RACES ACCIDENT IN TAWHITI HANDICAP. -- « ■ Press Association/-' HAWERA, May 14.
