THOSE FENCES

And Some To Clear Their Way

Early m the year there are any amount of hurdlers m commission and Trentham has its share on Saturday. ' TN getting sixteen to make the accep--1 tance, there is nothing to worry about— that is, till it comes the hour to pick the sheep from the goats. Gaze, for his recent form, has been made to pay the penalty of greatness. '■'■ It takes a good horse to lump 12.3 over ■a * mile and three-quarters, and, though: Gaze is a good horse, he may not be quite up to.the scratch.. Gamecock is, like a certain well-, known brand, still going strong, but he is not fancied greatly. Ballyfarnon, on his own track, is a good hurdler, and he stays on well. That will stand, to him. Polyphemus is a peculiar sort, but dressed m his; best he will give the rest weight and a hiding. Vexatious runs along well and finishes if she is not asked to do it both ends. . ■ •■■■'"■ Sir Moment will be passed by but if Carinthia is ridden into his fences he will do better than at Wingatui. Radiate won the other day and Othon has scored lately. "„.■■ Beaumont has started off fairly -well, and Pantagruel, with a soft track, can hold his own; \ , Pan tier is a new recruit with /more than average promise. It is tlie opening race of the programme, and punters may be somewhat m a tangle. ■ , Luck will play a big part and it may help m the cases of . ; . . CARINTHIA and* POLYPHEMUS ±*.
