Square Trotters Engaged at Epsom

CONTESTS FOR OTAHUHU CANDIDATES’ PROSPECTS DISCUSSED By "ABAYDOS. The two trotting events on the Otahuhu Club’s programme tor Saturday, February 2o attracted a good number of square-gaiters and allowing for a few defections before starting day the fields will be quite large enough, while handicapper Gooseman has performed his- task of bringing a mixed crew together so well that investors will have plenty of material for speculation.

With its 3.45 limit the IL-furlong Trial Handicap presents a great variety of trotters and unless there is some-

thing pretty useful among the novices on the long end of the handicap, thos< further back will have excellent prospects. There is a good stretch between Bright Light (132yds) and tin front-liners, but even then the limi brigade will not want to make an> blunders.

Well Bred One Ben Bingen, without any records of special note, has picked up a few first certificates during the last 12 months, and is on the improve. Perhaps his best recommendation is in the fact that he is a son of Native King and Muriel Derby. That Reputation Akenehi is bobbing up again and the grey daughter of Peter Moko--Agnes Chief may yet live up to her vaunted reputation. Being under the eye of that good general. Jim Paul, should assist the young mare in doing her best. Great Way—Some Day

Great Way is well known to trotting fans in the Auckland Province and lie has even graced the Hastings and llutt Park tracks. So far he has not returned a divvy, but the day the three-year-old son of Peterwuh and Medway goes straight his party will collect. In Better Company

Tamahine is a promising young square-gaiter by’ Nelson Bingen from Hauraki and although he has only been twice to the races he took out for Bill Hughes each start. The Longburn representative will be tackling better society this time, but may be equal to the task.
