Sollicker’s Big Dividend. Rollicker, who p.-W I over .£lOO dividend when he won ihe chief event at the Egmont meeting on Saturday had started earlier in the day in the open sprint in which he finished eighth. The race no won was the last but one on the card and, with a fair amount of rain falling during the afternoon, the track had become greasy on top, conditions in which Rollicker revelled. Rollicker was raced for a few seasons by his breeder, Mi' R. T. Reid, Auckland, but about a year ago ho passed into the hands of R. Barlow, the Now Plymouth trainer, who has raced him a iot, but with moderate success. Lately he lias been running fair races, but Barlow did not support him on Saturday. Of the £25 invested on his win chance there were four £1 tickets and the remainder in 10s investments. A Hawera youth was fortunate enough' to have £2 each way oh him.
