Williams. Williams recen ly secured him under sub_relea.se. * * * AJunga’s rider at O'taki on the first day appeared to be caught napping when the barrier arose. This field required a lot of pa ience to start. * * * Terry, who has not been in the money for some time, is looking very well at present, and she made up a 10*1 of ground in finishing fourth in the final race at Otaki last Wednesday. * * * Even Money, who come on the scene late to finish third to Grampian and War Lap at Otaki last Wednesday, u< an aged mare by the Poly_ damon horse Golden Sovereign. She was a maiden winner at Bulls in March. * * * The support that came for Marcus Cicero at\ Otaki was rather surprising in view of his short preparation, but that race will have improved him a lot. Like Korero, he is being naced in a special elastic bandage. \ * * * The well-performed Lord Quex — Termination gelding Prostration, winner of <£llBs in two seasons’ rac_ ing in New Zealand, is expected to join M.
