Prospects for Riccarton To-day

SPARE PART IN OTAIO PLATE The New Zealand Cup meeting will be continued to-day and the meeting of Beau le Havre and Soneri in the- Churchill Stakes will no doubt attract a very large attendance to Riccarton. The indications are that Beau le Havre will have the call in the betting over Soneri. A good field will line up for the Metropolitan Handicap and the race for favouritism between Signal Officer and King’s Ransom will probably be very close. The following may be among the favourites during the day:— 10.42: Suburban Handicap. —Broie, Beechwood, Wane. 11.22: Churchill Stakes.— Beau le Havre, Soneri, Distinction. 12.7 : Pioneer Handicap.— Trident-Robin Redbreast bracket, Musselman, Balkis. 12.52: Seymour Handicap.— Primitive, Coral Arc, Morning Watch 1.37: New Zealand Oaks Stakes. —Miss Bairnsfather, Lucy Bian, Excellency. 2.22: Metropolitan Handicap. —Signal Officer, King’s Ransom.
