SPEED MERCHANTS
SPRINT WILL BE FAST RACE There are so many brilliant beginners in the Cheltenham Handicap (the concluding event on the first day at Takapuna to-morrow) that the race is sure to be run at a fast clip. And with so many able to go fast the struggle for early positions will ensure a thrilling contest all the way. The probable starters in the sprint, with their riders, are as follows: CHELTENHAM HANDICAP Of i-425; 6 furlongs
Brackets for To-morrow The following are bracketed horses for Takapuna to-morrow: Melrose Maiden—Jolly Money ar.d Princess Rain. Cambria Handicap—Carl Idem and Valorous. Will Be Good To Win If Tidal wins the Ponui Handicap ut Takapuna to-morrow he will prove himself a good horse. He has a good weight to carry against some fair backs, but he will be up against a difficult proposition in the course, for he has not as much early speed as would be liked by his admirers, so that up the short straight he will have bo pull out something extra good if he is t° catch the leaders. Latest advices, however, show' that Tidal may be ail absentee to-morrow.
