THE DUNEDIN RACES.
This morning's Guardian supplies the following as the latest state of the betting market : Fluctuations are the order of the clay in the betting market, and horses that are favourites to-day are quoted at long odds to-morrow. Puriri still holds the position of nominal favourite at 5 to 1, but he is not touched at that price, and even 8 to 1 could be £ot about him by a little trouble. Teuipleton is being generally invested in, the idea gaining ground that he will be the chosen one of the stable. Fishhook is firm at about his old price, and Hippocampus commands much the same figure. Titania was backed on Saturday niglit to win a couple of thousands at extreme odds, and she is now quotable at 100 to 6, without takers, the investment being looked upon as a blind. Tiie following are about the prices now nil'ng : "duke din cur. 5 to 1 agst. Puriri (off.) 7 1 Tenipleton (tk ) 8 I Hippocampus (tk.)
