Cimabue to Race At Taranaki

PROSPECTS IN THE CLASSIC TRENTHAM JOTTINGS Special to TUB SUN The Wellington representatives at the Taranaki .meeting. Cimabue and Dolomite, left for New Plymouth today, noth have done well at Trentham since they raced there last month. Cimabue h work has been of a light natur'', but does not require a strenuous preparation to bring him to his best. He might not be quite ut his best v.hcn he contests the Flying on the opening clay, but he should ke,p the opposition very busy in the Taranaki Stakes on the second day. Cimabue is to bo ridden by B. H Morris and Dolomite by H. N. Wiggins. Taranaki Double In Wellington Pegaway, Corinax Bright Glow and Vertigern are the favourites for the Taranaki Cup and Lady Quex Is a decided first choice in the Flying Handicap. A. E. Kllis leaves Wellington tomorrow morning for New -Plymouth His principal mount at the meeting will be Bright Glow in the Taranaki Cup. Bright Glow has been restricted to light work on the lead and to steady pacing since the Wellington meeting at which sho raced so well, hut her condition is understood to be firstclass. The latest from Taranaki is that the weather is line and likely to remain so lor a while ami that the course Is iu excellent condition, though it mav be a trifle on the hard side. J. Hastie, who is setting up as a privato trainer at Awapunl, already has a couple of horses due to commence work under his care. Oratrix For Woodville Oratrix will race next at the Woodville iixlure toward the end of this month. She is in great heart at present. In fact, it is doubtful if she was ever better. Glare leaves for the South on Friday night for the Dunedin meeting, c Emerson will ride the Australian-bred gelding in his engagements on the trip. His Mission Marjoram has two engagements at New Plymouth on the opening day. He may decline his Cup engagement and take oil the Mimi HighWeight Handicap, especially it a suitable rider can be secured for him Balloon, who was unable to race in Urn principal event on the second day >'f the Pahiatua meeting through being hurt in transport, is practically all right again. His injuries turned out to be slight. Goblin Market, now owned by a Wellington sportswoman. Is being pottered about by 1 . Pritchard. He looks fairly well, but is not to be hurried. cTi G T‘ y> ' v *>° i " riding at the top ol ills term at present, has a big list ■>t engagements for the Taranaki meeting. Among liis rides on the opening day are Pegaway in the Cup, Blue Paper in the Ngamotu Juvenile Handicap, Lady Quex in the Flying Handicup, Te Hoia in the Timaru Hack Handicap, and probably Valkon or Marjoram in the Mimi High-Weight -Handicap anti (’illumine or Singer in Okato Hack Handicap. L. 11. Morris’s rides on the first dav of the fixture will include Vertigern in the Cup, Clmubue in the Flvine Grecian in the Okuto Hack Handicap] ??* A coru in the Ngamotu Juvenile Handicap. Vertigern Tho latest available concerning Vertigern is that lie has worked consistently veil since he was unlucky to >o beaten into second place on the last day of tho Wellington meeting He was in good form at this period last season and won tho big handicap on the second day of the Taranaki meeting. \ ertigern’s stable mate, Grecian, is a good hack. He ran fourth in the lJouro Cup at Trentham last month and second in the ltodnev Hack Cup at Pahiatua last week. He looks to have bright prospects on the West Coast trip.

R. Johnson did not produce The ■Swell nt Pahiatua last week, but those who saw him at Ashhurst were impressed by his condition and express t no opinion that he is a better horse now than at any other stage of his career.

Democratic and Vinella have done whU at Avvapuni since they last appeared in public, according to this I ee k’s report from the track, but it is thought that Vinella might do better alter a race and run more prominenuy on the second day at New Plymouth than on the first. J. Barry will have the mount on i emocratic and C. Itobinson will ride V trl a n l n,, 'dle events. The Otaki hurdler Borsalene is expected to make the Taranaki trip and to show up in whatever he contests.
