PROMISING OUTLOOK I JUDGING on the manner In which J Broad Acre won 'his double at Morton, he is capable of reaching very high class. The hacks there could not make him gallop, and when he takes on open company he will beat more than beat him.

• • • T AUSANNE followed up his Awapuni *- J success by winning the two open sprints at Tauherenlkau. He is going to get even for the 785 euineas mid 'for him. • * • (\7IGIIiANCE was galloped on at AwaL v . puni and she had to forego her engagements at Marton. • • • • THE Kemball team did Waipukurau 1^ and Hastings over the holidays | and managed to pay their way. #■ * . • 'FIELDS at Marton were very poor: ,F especially so on the second day. , There were numerous reasons for this, but the hard track had more than its .share in the business. • * • AFTER riding- at Ellerslie on Monday, "Snow" Morris returned \to Marton to do the second day. • ' • . • pEORGE NEWS two apprentices, *** Murray and Broughton, are riding extremely well at the present time .- ♦ "• * 'AFTER her failure at Awapuni, It •* was decided to give Civility a letup and she is now out in the paddock. • #■ * 'AT the first time of asking, Bright .*■ Glow won in open company. This was in the Stratford Cup. Those who know the winner say she is the goods. • # # TOM WILFORD got some money at * Tauherenlkau with Rotowhero, Which ran two firsts and a second. •,• ' • *T*HE first day at ; Tauherenikau was *. all right, but on Monday there were several incidents that did not appeal.

DERT ELLIS mnde a bloomer when D he got off*Le Champ to ride Patearoa the second day at Marton. Le Champ was awarded the race, while Patearoa was nowhere.

BLUE PETER may make a success as *^ a hurdler, but this Is very unlikely.

RAPIER'S THRUST

WHEN Rapier added the Clifford i " Plate to his record, the most surprising part was the dividend he returned against horses like Satrap and King Lu over the distance.

* * * CAN PEDRO bled the first da/ at **.. Marton, but even after this many expected him to win' on Tuesday. He didn't.

DOWHIRI won both hurdle races at *■ Morton. He has pace and jumpa fairly, but he will never reach anything like top class.

« # ■ # JUST as was expected, the racing Town Bank had at New Plymouth brought him along nicely for Stratford, where he won the sprint.

TWO days before the race was run *■ everybody in Wellington was expecting the victory of The Immigrant at Ellerslie. He did not confound ,those who anticipated the success, for he won nicely.

WAICULLitJS did some travelling i" over the holidays. He was at Waipukurau, Awapuni and Hastings in a week. There is nothing wrong with his legs to stand up to that.

-> • * # IT is not going to be long before Discourse wins a race — say, at Foxton this month.

OEEINGr that John Porter was asking •^ five thousand for Martarma when he was a maiden, the price will be up a good deal now after his Derby success.

# # # M ON MINT 18 not a racehorss. He should be packed off to Arizona to take part in a rodeo. •♦ • ■

Fis taking Greengrocer a long time to get on the winning list. He could only run two seconds at Hastings.
