FINAL DAY OF EPSOM TROTS

EXCELLENT SPORT ASSURED BIG FIELDS AND KEEN RACING THE second day of the Auckland Trotting Club’s winter * fixture will be held to-morrow, when another splendid day’s sport is assured pdtrons. With the conclusion of the Epsom card the curtain will be lowered on the 1926-27 trotting season of the Dominion. This factor lends additional interest to the gathering as owners are exceptionally keen on securing a final stake before putting their representatives into retirement, pending the new season’s activities. The acceptances for the last trotting day of the season, are excellent and with such high-class talent taking part the sport to be provided will be of the very best. A comprehensive review of the fields follows: MANUKAU HANDICAP Ot 300sovs (harness); one and a-half miles; 3.30 limit not tie This event, with which the programme commences, Daytime o *. Lt has draw n a good acceptance of twenty-two runners, of Bingen King . Lt.’ which fourteen are again off the end of the handicap, Dillon Huon . Dt. thus necessitating a draw for positions in the double Lt row. This is bound to effect the prospects of several Reremai . . ’. Lt. ‘'limiters” who may be unlucky at the ballot, while a few Concertina . . Lt. a couple of seconds removed from the big batch will ToST 1 Rpkl-i w ’ Ft' have a better opportunity of getting clear. Of those in Master Huia .’ Lt! the front Daytime will still have a lot of friends, and Harris . . . . Lt. may be all the better for the race on Saturday. Dottle Kin e 'sclere S ' ’ Lt Advance, if lucky enough to get out well, will make mssc ele y - da ' bh( j things interesting, while Master Huia is a dangerous Grattan customer and will be well in the picture. Red Star, • • • 12 who was unlucky at Cambridge, figures ill the field and Admiral Lock ! 12 should take some beating. Reremai, a stable-mate of Loch Moigh . .’ 24 Hohoro, who ran prominently on the opening day, is Mars . . ... 24 another fresh candidate and will have to be seriously Buz Buz ! 24 considered. She won very easily at the Park last Uncle Bert . ’. 24 March, and will be the pick of the front basket. Amaris and Admiral Dock will make a bold bid, but should be held safe by Doch Moigh and Mars, who filled the places in the Mangere Handicap on Saturday. This pair should fight out another duel and what beats them will win. Uncle Bert appears to have the best prospects of those further back. The public will most likely go for;— MARS, LOCH MOIGH and REREMAI ROYAL HANDICAP Of 300sovs (harness); two miles; 4.56 limit Floral ine . . . . Lt. On their form of Saturday very few of the limit ciiessey Ctl .° l ! l Lt.' brigade in the slower class trotters’ event can be given Roez . ... ! Lt. much chance, although Peter Boy must not be overPeter Boy .. . Lt. looked. Hie was putting in good work over the early Colonel Thorpe Lt! stages of the Winter Handicap but a bad break Don Zolock . . Lt! settled his prospects. Roez will probably do the best , yds bhd. of the others. Saturday’s favourites, Great Change K c nip ton a ng c ’ 2 4 4 and Kempton, gave such poor displays that they are Appeal . ... . 36 bound to lose a lot of admirers, and they would require Miss Leda ... 36 to go a whole heap better to get any money. If Great Ansel(ne iUbhaiS 48 Change takes it on, however, he will be troublesome. Tiger Salve ". ! 60 Misp Deda did not give of her best on Saturday, but Golden Gate . 60 Appeal won so nicely he must be given a rare chance of Kolmar .-. . . 60 again beating all those in front of him. Sean Triubhais Noifmaha* r .' ! 84 went a solid race in the Winter and should be well in Tamerlane . . 56 at the kill. Tiger Salve is showing«mprovement, but Tamerlane and Nourmahal, the black-markers, will probably account for him and his associates on the same mark. Public opinion will no doubt lean towards: TAMERLANE, SEAN TRIUBHAIS and APPEAL PRINCE OF WALES HANDICAP Of I,ooosovs (harness); two miles; 4.33 limit. Napland . . . Lt. Twelve solid pacers and two sound trotters have Harold Thorpe LA paid up for the principal event of the day, to which the Western King 12 ' rich stake of one thousand pounds is attached, divided Billy Sea ... 12 proportionately between the four first to pass the post, Nelson ß °Pame -?4 according to theiwplace value. On Saturday’s form the Machine Gun ”, 24 trotters, Napland and Peterwah, appear to be held safe Jewel by several of the hoppled contingent, although the Terence 6 'Dillon 24 Gisborne-owned square-gaited gentleman is always Peterwah ... 24 worthy of notice in such heats. Harold Thorpe did Countryman . 36 not face the music on Saturday in either the chief event Bcter n ßinSSf n Kfi °f the mile dash. The Belfast-trained pacer had not Imprint .. . . 72 done well on the trip North, and Mentor Edwards decided to give him a rest in view of second day activities. Harold won nicely at Oamaru over two miles, but was evidently lucky to beat Terence Dillon at a difference of two seconds, and on their present handicap the Campbell Handicap winner should hold Edwards’ charge safe. Western King was not produced on Saturday, but if the going is suitable may sport silk to-morrow, but his chances on the grass cannot yet be of a rosy hue. Billy Sea, if not feeling any ill effects of his capsize on the first day, should handle the going alright, and Holly Boy looks well enough to get some money. Jewel Pointer will be greatly benefited by the racing on Saturday and promises to be cheeky in this heat. Nelson Fame will do \ % 11 for the major portion of the journey, but will not see the sharp punch through. Interest will be centred in the firsDday favourite, Machine Gun, who was one of the unfortunate squad. Accoming to the machine his prospects were rosy, but there is just a chance that the accident will leave some dire effect upon the fine-looking pacer. Terence Dillon, on the same peg. will be again a tough propostion, and the public will not readily forget his nice burst of speed when asked a question on Saturday. Countryman will be allowed to have it on his own but Cardinal Dogan will be one of the ruling favourites. His form on the opening day cannot be overlooked and he has a royal show of getting the thick end. Peter Bingen will command respect, but the going may not be to his liking. The back-marker, Imprint, will not be allowed to start at such an outside price as on the opening day and will he sure to run a great race. The favourites will probably be: TERENCE DILLON, CARDINAL LOGAN. IMPRINT. ADAMS CUP HANDICAP Of 500sovs and Gold Cup valued at 100gns. (harness); two miles; 4.39 limit. Great Earl . . Lt. The much-discussed Adams Memorial Gold Cup Uofj 1 Ft will create as keen an interest as the big event and Buz e BuU ! Lt! promises to furnish a great contest, both speculativeLuvan .... Lt. and spectacular. Great Earl, who was the biggest yds hhd- favourite to score on Saturday, figures on the end Direct ° San ’ " and the chestnut will be very much in demand again Morning . .12 to-morrow. He will have a harder row to hoe but he Direct \VooU . i| j s Olle c f the solid sort and what beats him should Marsha!'Veii ' 24 will ‘ He will prohably hit the front early and the Flo rent . . . ! 24 opposition will have the hardest part to do to head Respect .... 24 him off. But in Luvan, the Christchurch horse has The Shrew ' ' ”4 something to contend with off the limit, and as she Lord Nepean ! 36 ls very well the public can look forward to the Rock Hinton . 36 Auckland representative putting* up a great fight to Wan™? ' • ’ 55 retain the handsome gold cup presented by Mrs. L. Glandore ! ! ! 60 A. Adams, in the city. Uncle Bert will he cheeky, Goldman ... 60 but both he and Buz Buz should find the other limit pair too hot. Direct Wood will have a good following and it must not be forgotten that she ran second to Sea Pearl in this event last year. She will account for Rockburn and Direct Morning, but what about Rey Logau? The New Brighton-trained colt was a good third to Harold Thorpe and Terence Dillon in the big race at the recent Oamaru fixture, and this performance will gain him a lot of friends. There are some solid customers on the 24 yards mark of which The Shrew has the best credentials at this distance, and she will be one of those holding good prospects. Respect must be entitled to respect in such a race, and then Rock Hinton is a fine pacer and will have many friends. Lord Nepean made a good showing in select company oil Saturday for fourteen furlongs, while Nantwich has a big two mile heat at Ashburton to her credit. Wallroon is well. Goldman will go solidly in the heavy stuff. Glandore does not appeal on the grass. It looks like a provincial battle between Canterbury, Auckland and Manawatu, and when the tote figures are adjusted the elect may be: GREAT EARL, LUVAN, THE SHREW. MEMBERS’ TROT HANDICAP Of 500sovs (harness); two miles; 4.42 limit. Ingle Bingen . Lt. Ten solid unhoppled trotters will face the starter Lt. in . thls event - and of those ou the limit. Sister Beatrice Wimmera King Lt! will have the best following. The Ha wera-trained mare Sebisea .... Lt. went a good race on Saturday and was just beaten Frisco Beau dS b if' over the final pinch. Ingle Bingen can scamper for The Tartar . ! 12 a portion of the journey, and Wimmera King put in Peter ' ' some solid work in the Stewards’ Trot on Saturday, but McKinney . . 24 Corrigan’s mare should have it on them. Frisco Beau Eizear fast '' ' 60 ■ will benefit by the race, while The Tartar will, proBetty Mokcr ! 72 viding he goes away right, keep them ail busy. P^er McKinney did not give of his best on the first day, being evidently hampered by the grass, but he may keep down to-morrow, in which case he would get some money. Trampfast is another that did not handle the track well, but the public will not lose confidence in this hold trotter. Elzear will not be far away when it comes to the real business, and Betty Moko won so genuinely on Saturday, she must be given a fine chance of annexing the double. The public will no doubt go for:— • SISTER BEATRICE, BETTY MOKO and TRAMPFAST.

LIVERPOOL HANDICAP ' Of 300sovs (harness); 1J miles; 2.54 limit Cora. Tacks . . Lt. Backers are given another poser in this sprint, with L °Advance .. . Lt. the devil’s number off the end and the same quota Ou?Patch i t starting at the rear of the vanguard. A lot will depend Beatty .... Lt. again on the draw as far as the front lot are concerned, Roamer° Ck ! Lt! and tllose on the end Reremai, if escaping a penalty Reremai .... Lt. in the opening heat, and Tui Zolock, read best. The Marionette Lt ten furlon g s on Saturday and was short of work. Queen Master Huia will also be on deck here arrl Marionette Audubon . Lt. may create a surprise. Lola Reklaw will be in the Amaris . . 12 picture for the major portion of the journey, but ma> Rua Pere ... 12 then cry enough. Amaris will be handy, while Admiral < - il !S I tta . n Lock is a useful sort over this distance and should he Admiral Lock ! 12 kept in mind. Mars is nicely placed and Henry Logsn. Mars ...... 24 who failed on Saturday, should be benefited by tM Henry Logan . 24 race. He is a solid pacer and worth remembenEfe«| Mulwaree .. . ! 24 Woodvale, if he does it right again, will keep tie Woodvale ... 36 opposition busy, and Respect should have a chance Di ir ct « o C getting close up. Rock Hinton, the back-marker, will Master nS ’ * ° be on hand if many mistakes are made. Public choice Councillor . 36 will favour: RoSk 6 Hinton ! 60 HENRY LOGAN, TUI ZOLOCK, ADMIRAL LOCK AU REVOIR HANDICAP Of 500sovs (harness); miles; 2.48 limit. N Tasker . . . Lt. The meeting, and incidentally the season will diaj Final to a close with this heat, in which some fine ‘‘ H' merchants meet. Of those on the limit Final _» Lord Nepean' ! Lt! Kinney has the best credentials, although Nelson Tafr Wallroon . . . . Lt. ker, if he takes it on, could give them all a A i yds to pick thim up. Anselm is very speedy and Macluß* Holly Boy’ . . 32 Gun may prefer this race to the two mile go. Machine Gun . 12 Pointer is improving with each essay, and - Je -2S«*®r. 19 treated respectfully by backers. If Terence L>iu Terence" " w tackles the opposition in this sprint he will add £ rea ; Dillon ... 12 to its interest, but he may have enough after tne TO AU Belli .... 12 race. Lady Dunmore won so well on Saturday Be]i y Hsrold 01< ! 24 must claim closer attention from backers to-morro • imprint! . .’ ! S 6 and Bell Harold may do better than in the mile on Cardinal first day. Imprint and Cardinal Logan are ** * placed and the latter will be a very dangerous propo Nelson Fame' . 4S tion. Peter Bingen fairly revels in this distance ajjj if lie can handle the going Kennerley’s charge w ill be v ry handy at wire. Then there is Nelson Fame, a real sprinter, and if kept for dash would be home and dried. Any of those engaged in the two *25 and finishing second will be a good cue for the final flutter. Public suppo will no doubt go to: PETER BINGEN, NELSON FAME, JEWEL POINTER
