IN THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY

The Trentham Racing Club will hold its Summer Meeting-on January 18, 20 and 22, The following should do well:

Strangely enough, included in the list of those likely to run well, are two of the three horses mentioned in the dream article. Their performances at tecent meetings have been good! Sir Beau Sir Beau, a Beau Pere colt, had his first start at Palmerston. He ran Absolve to half-a-head although he had been several lengths back at the entrance to the straight. On the second day, he reversed the placings, and beat Absolve easily by three lengths. Sir Beau promises to be one of the best two-year-olds of the season. Arcas Raced without luck at the New Zealand Cup Meeting. Started in the Trial on the second day at the Manawatu Meeting, but was never likely, Moorsotis Unplaced in the Christmas Handicap on. the first day at Auckland, he became favourite for the Plunket Handicap on the second day. He came to the post in third place, and was doing better than at any other stage in the race. On the third day he won a creditable fourth in the Derby without being really dangerous. It is possible that the connections of Moorsotis may decide to tackle the Cup in preference to the Anniversary Handicap, although he would appear to have better chances of success in the latter event.
