Hack Races.
[■po TH« XDTTOn,] Sie,—Some time ago a oerrespondenb d*aw attention, through your columns, to the fact that a horse named Pretender, although nominated for a handicap race, wae to be sent for a hack flx6, »ud at the same time suggesting that the handicapper ohould sb weight him that it would be an lm« possibUity for him to win. This game was played again at Waerenga-a hlka on Boling Day, when Privateer was sent for th* Handicap Hurdles (therefore, a trained borae), and subsequently for the Hack Race, finishing a dead head with Falcon, Some should be afforded to owners of hacks who are induced by the programme to prepare for the hack events horaea that are not Carbines or Tirailleurs. I notice that a provision has been made (with one exception) in the Gisborne Racing Olub'e programme to meet each unsportsmanlike conduct, and |I sincerely trust that the handicappers of oHtae* Club will ed mtrk their’displeasure at t* render the possibility of horses, sosntarefijafi (mponlbilitj.—l am, <*o,, Haol OWKIB
