Fair Fields at Carterton Meeting

TRENTHAM PRELIMINARY REVIEW OF THE RUNNERS Not a great deal of interest centres in the Carterton meetings these days, and but for the fact that it affords owners an opportunity of giving their horses a run a week before the Wellington meeting little notice would be taken of it. The acceptances for to-morrow’s fixture are quite satisfactory, and on this score visitors will have no cause for complaint. With the fine weather recently the going should be in good order. The first event is timed for 11.45 a.m. This is the

quantities. A couple of last season’s two-year-olds in Panther and Thurnbell, together with a promising hack in Ringboy, will no doubt have plenty of supporters. An indifferent lot of hacks figure in the

Rowley won at Otaki last wefek, which was overdue by the way. Then there are Watchman, Lady Faye, Moepai, Gordon Swift and Hymgreat. Of this half-dozen most money may be forthcoming for Gordon Swift and Rowley. The big event of the day is next on the card:

Once again we come across that gay deceiver, Tresham —first at Hastings one day, and a week later second to last in the Mitchelson Cup. Vertigern was a winner at Napier, and Cerf sprang a surprise at Otaki, so that he can be relied upon to get the 10 furlongs. Waicullus is a fast-improving

galloper, but the company to-morrow will try him out. Willow Wai has it in him to create a surprise, and Vesperus is in light. He was a real good hack last season. Teri is a fair sort, and was a winner at Napier. To sum up, punters may declare in favour of Cerf and Vertigern. The hack sprint, next on the bill, is the #

It is a fair field of its class. Imitation won both days at Dannevirke last month, and with that record he should be a better horse to-morrow, and sufficient to send him out a better favourite than either Raukura or Reckless. There are only seven engaged in the open sprint, the

The race is most interesting by reason of the fact that that once good horse Suggestion is to make a reappearance, and also that Royal Ceres, a high-class two-year-old last season, is also down to reappear. The latter if in form will be hard to beat. Lausanne, full-brother to Valicare, has been backed and beaten three times already. Lady Ideal goes fast, and with Cosmetic, Buoyant and Gleninnis will make matters interesting. Royal Ceres and Lady Ideal will not lack support. .Next is the

King Midas will be well suited by this distance, for he takes time to find his feet, and it was this that brought about his defeat at Napier recently. Rotowhero, the sensational maiden dividend payer at Otaki. is also in form, and this pair will be in demand. Some fine handicappers are among

The G.reenmeadows-trained and owned Tiegra revels in races of this sort, and the race he had at Napier should help him a lot. Willow Wai, Lady Ideal and Buoyant claim prior engagements, and they may start again here. Tiega and Kilbronsyth may be the favourites. The final event is the

Carrigallen. can go very fast and yet he has not much heart when something ranges alongside. However, this event is only five furlongs, and he may go on with it. Of the others Imitation and Lady Orby may be the best. H. Wiggins and W. Jones, the Auckland horsemen, will be riding at the meeting. Wiggins will ride Riverna, Polonaise, Mandarine and Raukura, and Jones will steer Lady Ideal, Masher and Grey Mist in their respective engagements.
