FAIR FIELDS

AT GERALDINE MEETING BLACK MINT AND THE CUP There is not a great deal of import- ! V ance attached to the Geraldine meet- ‘ 01 Lag, to be held on the Orari course to- j morrow and the following day. The ae- j c , ceptances for tomorrow are good all j tr round, but the position in the two j tc principal events is somewhat compli- ! n< rated on account of the fact that sev- J eral horses are in both. 01 Conspicuous in the Geraldine Cup is w Black Mint, who was so narrowly . beaten both days at Marton by Barometer. His subsequent form at AVa- C nganui was not impressive, but then iri tomorrow there will be no Cashiers about the premises. Royal Game, if he starts in this race, will be coupled di with Black Mint. Most opposition to n< the latter may come from Prickles, ta who did well against Chide last Saturday. The promising three-year-old Aspir- >1

ing is to have her first race in tlie open six furlongs, and she should go really well, for" the filly has Ijeeq working nicely of late and is reported to be very forward. The same event will sec Money Order again in action, and much interest will be taken in his showing, for he is a class sprinter. The Orari course is very much on the turn, with a nasty bend at the home » turn; essentially a course for good be- j ginners. The following may come in for keen j support:—First Hurdles.— Beauty Light and i Antrim Boy. Ohapi Hack Handicap.—Huntley and Airplane. | Geraldine Cup.— Black Mint-Royal Game bracket and Prickles. I Geraldine Trot.—Llewellyn and i Headlight. Squatters’ Handicap.—Aspiring and i Money Order. Raukapuka Hack.—Glerrrowan and Sea Raid. Orari Trot.- Otaio Rose and Guy Denver. Bel field Handicap.—Taboo, or Royal Game and Prickles. The following arc the acceptances, which only closed last night: I*> “I X FIRST HURDLES Of £130; 13 furlongs.
