WITH THE GALLOPERS

to-day's races tolAga bay stages its annual meeting • THE FIELD s REVIEWED (Notes by "Canard"). Most easterly of all the clubs in the Dominion, Tolaga Bay keeps the flag flying by holding its annual meeting which eomes off to-day. Though fields are not large many of the races should be interesting from the fact that horses have a bit of recent form at Opetiki, Gisborne and. Wairoa. $ * The opening event, the Maiden Scurry, has drawn only three and the one with most experience is Milvane from. — MAIDEN SCUjRRY, 8 furs. (All 8.0). — Kentucky Song, Milvane, Marching Song. * * * In the Flying Handicap, there are four carded and, if started, the money will come for Hunting Day and Toboggan from. — FLYING HANDICAP, 6 futrs:— Malahat, 8.7; Hunting Day, 8.0; Toboggan, Little Wonder, 7.5. * * *

There is a very useful field in the Hauiti Hack Six for Hunting Jay, Bothwell, Master Frank, Isms and Hine te Wai are all recent winners. Unfortunately they are all in the Waihau Hack but in the event of their starting, the following should run well in each engagement: — Bothwell Isms Hine te Wai from. — HAUITI HACK HANDICAP, 6 fur. — Hunting Jay, 9.2; Sunny Bachelor, 8.11; Bothwell, Master Frank, 8.7; Isms, 8.2; Hine te Wai, 7.9? Some Watch, Prince Henry, 7.0. ^ ^ Five are in the Highweight and recent form points to Tama Waiata King Wanga Prince Henry from. — HIGH-WEIGHT HANDICAP, of 1 mile. — Kahunoke, 10.10; Tama Waiata, 9.12; King Wanga, 9.9; Some Watch, Prince Henry, 9.0. * * *

The Uawa Stakes is complicated by the fact that most are engaged m other heats. Valsier should not be troubled by 9.0 in view of his suecesses of late and Malahat is a better class than most of the entries but may be better served in the last race. Kahunoke will probably take on this in preference to the highweight and Nightspeaker is running into form. Measurer is a recent winaer as are Gainsfid, Kinsel and Little Wonder. It should be a very fine race !ov a country club and the field is vell-balanced, preferences, if reserved, going to Valsier Kinsel Kahunoke-Giainsfid bracket from. — UAWA STAKES HANDICAP, 1,1 miles. — Valsier, 9.0; Malahat, 8.2; Kahunoke, 7.12; Nightspeaker, 7.11; Measurer, 7.8; Gainsfid, 7.6; Kinsel, Little Wonder, 7.4. * * * * The Waihau Hack field is almost a •epetition of the Hauiti with the adiition of Nightspeaker and one or two others and the previous use of che runners may tell some tales. A iine on form will be given by the previous running in at least two races out if started there should be supvort for Bothwell Gainsfid | Sunny Bachelor from. — WAIHAU HACK HANDICAP, 7 furs.— Hunting Jay, 9.4; Nightspeakm*, 8.11; Sunny Bachelor, 8.10; Bothwell, Gainsfid, 8.6; Isms, 8.1; Hine te Wai, 7.8; Marching Song, 7.4; Some Watch, Prince Henry, 7.0. ^ V * All the acceptors for the last race lave prior engagements, and this will n*obably upset things a bit when the ace comes to be run. If there are .10 penalties already attached to them che public are likely to support Malahat j Little Wonder Kinsel from. — -•• REWELL HANDICAP, 6 furs. —Malahat, 8.7; Master Frank, Hunting Day, 8.0; Toboggan, Kinsel, Little Wonder, 7.5; Milvane, 7.0.
