MUNICIPAL RACES.

(By Track Notes). To-morrow the Municipal Race is to be run, and no doubt the ratepayers will turn out in full force to back their fancies. r J he race is not causing so much interest as that of 1911, when thirteen horses faced the barrier, all of whom were in hard training for some considerable time. However, this year has only brought forward a held of eleven starters. Some are training quietly, while others are dark horses. Nevertheless, when the day comes a great set-to may be looked forward to. Here are a few opinions on the starters for the Councillors’ Plate:— “Tea and Coffee”—An old starter again coming to light. Won the mayoral race in 1911. His breeding (Candles—Paper Bag) stamps him as a good’un. “Sawdust”—Performed on several occasions with success, and an old winner of the Mayoral cup; has been known to shy at a .bridge. Pinus Insigmis—(aged), trained on Broadway South and very fit; will run a good race if the jockey lets tlpe reins loose; will carry most money on the machine. Shavings—An East Road colt; always looking for hard work; trained to the minute; will be content with a p’nce. Motor-Car—(by Farmer out of House Section); warranted to run well; his only previous start was, in the byeelection Stakes, which he won with his mouth open. Farmland—A very useful “neddy” ; can be depended upon to stand quietly at the barrier; will kick at nothing ;believes in making every post a winning one. Inky, better known as The Printer, is greatly fancied by the Southern party; a*s he is trained to the minute, can be depended upon to be well up in the forward division; certainly will not gaze on all the noddy’s tails. Butterfat—A full brother to Cheese by Stratford; is an old performer, and very convincing over obstacles, but needs careful handling. Tinker.—(By Billy out of Pannikin). An untried colt;; jockeys orders—give Jiim his head. Cactus Dahlia—Training quietly on the Warwick Road; the dark home of the field. Any Advance.—Performed on several occasions, and gives promise of doing excellent work ;will not whip in the bunch.
