i ... | Horses Worth Watching For H Future. j! i ; < (By “Topweight.”) ;J i The following is the list of race-' J i meetings to be held before Christmas ’ ; and New Year:— I ’ i December 10, 12 Woodville D.J.L. i < I December 12 —Waipa R.C. I December 12 —Hororata R.C. I I December 19 —(Kaki Maori R.C. 11 I NUCLEI followed up her consistent < | form by winning the Rakino Handi- ! I cap yesterday. She finished very, ' ! stoutly to beat BATCHELOR KING. ' also a good sort. NUCLEI should go- » , on to better things, as she is only a » j two-year-old and is standing up to a l ' i god deal of racing. J ' ! By linishi’tg very fast, into third - ; place, ARMACOURT showed that she', j will be a force to be reckoned willr t ' during Christmas ami New Year. ’l’iiis- ! ■ was her first attempt in open com-! ; I patty. i ; WAIT AND SEE is another to keep! 1 ! in mind, especially in a seven fur-i . longs to a mile race. The going didi , I not exactly suit this one yesterday,! ; i but to finish fourth in a great field of; 1 ! milers was a good performance. ! AVith an even getaway TYBALT;! I would have won the open six at El-1 ’ | lerslie yesterday. He is tin aged horse! 1 I _ .• il | by Romeo, and this breed is partial ■ , ! to soft going. i J A fairly well supported runner in! J ! HUNTINGMORE showed brilliance' ' j out of the barrier at Ellerslie, and? i with a little more racing experience , j will be catching the judge’s eye. j * j BANTRY seems to be a bit of a i ‘ puzzle ,aml in the first day at EllersI 1 lie was a long wav hack in the Plate, I I ! but finished with a great, burst into; I fourth position, and yesterday just • | ran a. very ordinaiy race alter being! I with them ail the way. s ; JACK TAR was just touched off! i after a lighting finish the first day of I the Takapuna races. He was fourth I favourite in a large field and his. con-j . nections lost a big killing by, only al ! neck. We should hear some more of ; this one. | Northern racegoers evidently do not: | think much of LAP UP as a hurdler I i They sent him out fourth favourite! I the first day, and he won. The next' i day he won again, and he was still' • fourth favourite. j SYMCONY is a horse to watch out! lor in the future, especially at some; o-f the country meetings.' Her burst' of speed was phenomenal, as she was! about six lengths clear into the, straight. She was stopping at the: end, but if she produces that form again will be very hard to' beat. j GREAT HOPE should be worth fol-' lowing from now on. He has not been raced very much, and had his first I race at Feilding (and won) since his j return from Australia. | i ROYAL SECRET is a consistent i place-getter lately, and should her' party decide ( to place her in a dis-1 tance under a mile and a quarter they j would not be long in getting the thick! ' end of the prize-money. A well-bred filly in GAY STEP (Gay/ Lothario—Tickle ’foe) ran a very! good race at Levin. This was her I first race this season, so she should! not be long in being returned as a | winner. . Two horses in MUSQUIL and i CHEVAL DE VOLEE should do well I at Taranaki Christmas meetings. ■ They' both raced well at the Waikato! fixture, and a repetition of their form' hire would see them in the money, t I One lor the West Coast Christmas ■ ! meetings is CULOTTE. A very smalt ! beginner is his, and that goes a Jong ; I way on the small Coast, courses.
