LEAN YEAR

Few Stayers on The Horizon Stayers are few and far between m these days, and m weight-for-age races they are almost extinct. THERE is a race of that class on the programme at Trentham next month— the Gold Cup, . run over two miles. ...-■' Nominations are due for the race to-morrow and it may be found that it is poorly patronised. In real stayers there are perhaps, only Rapine and Count _Cavour,'. with Star Stranger also getting m. Two ; three-year-olds m Limerick* and Commendation have shown something to give the indication that they would be able to hold their own over the. journey. Limerick will; however, be on his way to Sydney when the race is;' won, while Commendation may not be asked to run. C , . ; " i The owner of the dual Derby winner is not going to knock his .'■ ■ . horse about and he reckons that the Leger will be enough for him at one meeting. ■ „■ Present ' indications . point to Rapine and Count Cavo.ur haying.another battle, for the rrtoney on March 19. * 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ri 1 1 1 1 1 ritiirtrllii rijll ri r 1 1 1 1 1 1 j 1 1 1 1 1 1 n m 1 1 1 1 ri 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ri inriri 1 1
