ASHHURST RACING CLUB.

ANNUAL MEETING TO-MORROW.

I.u previous years the Ashhurst Racing Club have held their annual fixture before the Christinas holiday meetings, falling in with the Levin— Feilding—Woorlville circuit, but. when Foxton made a change hi their dates, the Ashhurst Club put forward a claim for Anniversary Day with a view of collecting some of the holiday attendance. Foxton have bcuofittcd considerably by the alteration and 'here is every reason to believe that the change will ’ effect an improvement in the northern club’s meeting also, as the circumstances differ a good deal from last'year’s Anniversary meeting at Foxton and make it appear that the Wellington Club will suffer a small loss by the absence from their fixture of some of the Palmerston-northern Wairarapa racegoers who will make Ashhurst their holiday outing, because of its handiness. The better class animal will, of course, prove a strong attraction at Trentham, but Ashhurst has good fields and will provide interesting racing.

The programme is as follows, the first event beings timed to start at 11.45 a.m.:—

HACK HURDLES, of 150 sovs.; II miles.

In the opening event an improver m ROBURANT might prove dangerous. If LOCARNO has taken kindly to jumping, he looks most capable of' beating LIN ARLINGTON.

MAIDEN STAKES, of 130 sovs., weight, 8.7. Five furlongs. Many Acres y Basaloma Miss Atlanta Waiorna Marcia Samtur lion Acre Bonny Stream Alnimai Pot Shot Speednway Ao Maraina Wee Kiright Town Section Inflame * Mint BeUe Bione. Dish Moss Atacama . Vexillmn Scot- - Yaicluse Standard The Perch Vanilla M. Mixture Guide Light Tunbridge There is a good deal of unknown quality in the Maiden Stakes and a surprise is likely. On performances, the best credentials are held 'by MARCIA, BIONE and INFLAME.

POHANGINA HANDICAP, of 180 sovs.; 6 furlongs.

'The Pohangina Handicap bears a fairly open aspect with Miss Pat now well up in the weights. The most likely trio to break -her run of wins are MOUTOA TREASURY. CALLANMOR'E and THE RAIDER,

SIBERIA HACK, of 150 sovs.;

ATIIOLSPEAR’S Foxton form looks fairly good and the pair that are likely to extend the Grcyspoar gelding in this event are TUTIRA and SHINING STAR.

ASHHURST CUP, of 330 sovs.;

If Foxton form is any guide Royal Game, Henna, Maui, Kalos, and Twink can all be ticked off as possibilities. Anolo ’s Stratford performances _ are good enough to suggest him as likely, while if the going is at all heavy, Kilmiss will be favoured. Lady Limond .will win shortly, while Keddar and Nucleus are distinct possibilities, more particularly the latter who should be ready by now to go., this distance. Of the Foxtc-n form Maui is certainly best with Kalos next. It is not going to be easy for the punter, but good performances can be expected from Maui > Anolo Nucleus.

KOMAKO HACK, of 150 so vs.; 7 furlongs.

The top-weight will probably be a* Trentham, and in his absence the favoured trio will probably be BALLOON, CHOPIN and GOLD BAG.

1\ AIT MAI HANDICAP, of 180 sova.; 7 furlongs. -

Moutoa Treasury, Maui Ivalos and Imperial Spark have earlier engagements and in the absence of the former pair, it looks like the winner coming from KILMEZZO and KALOS. MANAWATU GORGE HACK, of 150

sovs.j 1 mile.

In the concluding event, speculators will probably look for a recovery in BALLOON, VEXATIOUS or KING QUEX.
