HAVE A LAST OUTING

Masterton On Saturday Will See Trentham Candidates

The arrangement to come m and .race a week prior to TrenUham, has benefited the Masterton Club materially. .

DERHAPS, never before, has; the club 1 received such wonderful nominations, and It is a long time since they had such a good class of horse engaged. The trouble, this Saturday will not be to get decent fields, but to get the fields ''reduced somewhat. There is only one fly m the ointment —winners \pf hack races at Opaki, if engaged m similar class races at Trentham. will have to put up a five-pound penalty. . litiitiiiiniiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniiiiuimiiiinnuimmniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiini BAD LUCK, GEORGE IUST while he was bemoaning the * fact that he had not nominated her for' the baks, .George Murray i Aynsley.was hit a foul blow. ■■:.,: .' , ! ' His filly, Quaecee, stumbled on the track and broke, a pastern. . In her maiden start at Ashburtbn, Quaecee finished on m rare style, displaying exceptional galloping ability. When asked to price the filly, George assessed her worth at 800 guineas. had Just done a good gallop, j and Immediately she passed, the post her pastern joint snapped. imwmwmiiimwiHiMimiimimiMwimwinmmiimiiinmmmimmimmir The small, stakes on Saturday are a big inducement to wait ,8, week. Royal Flyer is, the only winner engaged m the NurseryHe scored at Hastings and on that effort looked likely to win again when the company was not the best. Courtlike was m a place at Wanganui and may do better this time, while another that took the eye at the same meeting was Coon Song. ■;.... ...'.; ■-. It is possible for anything to

happen in 1 the Maiden, with such a big bunch nominated. ■ Billet.- was second at Cartertpn and Tcheka fourth. "One that has pace is Agreeable,, and her barrier ••■ manners are said to be all ; right, now. The High Weight presents some difficulty and .an idea of the ; runners would be helpful— acceptances are not to hand at time of writing. In similar class events, Starboard Light has shown out of late, while weight at one, time did not' bother Shining Armour. - Shining '. Star won a double at Awapuni three weeks back. Going back to form at the National and the punters will want to be on Historic m the Lansdowne. Arrow Boy took a race at Carterton last Saturday and at the same gathering, Grey Mist was fourth. The lighter scale should stand to her. The course will suit Black Mint, for there is a good long run home. He may not, however, be at his best for the Masterton Handicap: Blimp and Nukumai wore placed at Wanganui and of the pair, Blimp should-do best. Two good hacks head the Lawn Handicap— ■' Pale Star and Gold Cure. It may, however, be wise 1 to look further down for the winner. Rotowhero meets Full Mark on much better terms now than was the case last Saturday, while Holus Bolus has been throwing out some promise m his races. Commendation . will be a runner In the open seven. If he could be Induced to leave the barrier he would nearly win. . Royal Game ; is honest: and Pangolin goes along a very good seven. There should be good wagering In the last — a five furlong hack affair. Given good marbles, three that can ! go are Callanmbre, Banket and Dry Area.
