SECOND CLASS

Sprinters In The Members' ; (From "N.Z. Truth's" Auckland JUp.) What may be termed a secondclass sprint Is the Members' Handicap at Avondale on opening day. IT Is more of a welter than anything else, for the minimum Impost stands at eight stone. It will 6erve as a good preliminary for the Guineas of Monday io far as Gold Money and Sir Russell are concerned^ This pair will be having their first race of the season. Gold Money proved herself better than moderate by two-year-old viotoi'ies, and she has been training on well of late. Sir Russell Is one of the Archiestown breed and threatens to break his duck soon. Oration has had plenty of. raoingr and been knocking around the premises, while Billikins, Tea Lady, Liaison, Whaka King, and Subdivision can all clap on the pace. Lucy Rose should be on the Improve with recent racing* Master Doon and Ballymoy IL may show up m the class, while Te Atiawa's recent victories In hack company suggest that he . should not be entirely out of place m the improved class. They are a mixed lot, but three to be m the fight when the line is crossed •may be: GOLD MONEY, TE ATIAWA and BILLIKINS.
