GEEGEEGOSSLP & GUFFAWS

i-tiJfiKls are several Top Gallant youngsters ip "Wow rZoolanr? tiiia / season, but t date they hay not raced. * * * One by the im ported sire, bough by George New ii Sydney, and ou of "a well-brei mare, Fustian, i now owned by thi Palmerston sports Mr. and Mrs Blackmore. ". * He is m "Snow' Morris' stable at I Fordell, and though he was carded to take his place m the parade at Wanganui, he was missing on the day. ' ■ * .. * * His career is going to be watched with more than average interest. FRNIE KEESING is booked to steer " Mendip, and Tom Green Seatown m the Avondale Cup. ##' " # THE less said about some of the riding witnessed at Wanganui, the better. , + J. * * * A CMIL was unlucky both days at War^ nganui, and there is one for her waiting round the corner. # # * "THEY put a bundle on Imamint up north when she missed the Trial at Wanganui. # * # CEMPER PARATUS has been sold and he now occupies a box at F. E. Jones. # * * For a kick-off Fred did not get the best of material to work upon, and if he turns this sour chestnut into a real horse many bouquets win come his way. #' # • Always able to gallop, it is a shame his bad faults can't be mended, but it is possible that m different surroundings he might take a different view of life. # # • THE Oarnaru -trained mare, Rosewood, scored her initial success when she took the Vauxhall Handicap at the Otago Hunt. * * • She did it m such a way that more good things can be expected from her shortly.

MO fewer than 159 acceptors for eight . races on opening day at Avondale. An average of over nineteen a race, with no event claiming less than seventeen. # . * * ■■ |

THAT world's champion take, Stag- ' hunter, was so far- behind passing the halfrmile m the open sprint at Wanganui on Saturday that it did- not matter. > ■

Then all of a sudden he picked up the bit and went. He caught the field half-way down the running and won by a minute. */ * *

"Truth" heard a well-known trainer express the opinion before the race that Staghunter was a horse on which it should be permissable to use a battery. "He can gallop, but. he won't," said the- trainer m support of his case for a battery.

CPEAKING to Horace Dulieu early ° on the first mo— ' * ™ * ' he assured "Truth" that the injured collarbone had mended, and. that it was quite sound to ride. # * Later m the day this seemed to be correct when be rode Royal Acre into third place. * * On Saturday, however, when he had tb put everything into a finish on the same horse, a weak spot was found, and when he came- back to weigh m, Horry was nursing the shoulder again. # * * DERTi TINKER was not present at D Wanganui to watch Imamint perform. Reads as , if he had something more encouraging at Te.Rapa to keep an eye on for future engagements. ## * / SOME TOFF was backed .and beaten m the Vauxhall at the Otago Hunt. He ran a very fair race," and can be kept m mind for the circuit just beginning m Canterbury. # * * r>OUNT PALATINE surprised the *"' multitude liy 1 coming home the first time of asking. He went out unbacked at Wanganui, but the next time he tackles a big handicap it will be different. He is going to be a big acquisition to the ranks of stayers this season.

EVERYBODY up north will cast eyes on Sea Cob when he steps out as a hurdler. .'■.*'. * - * BILL HAWTHORNE is due to go north with Couraigeous after the Mitchelson Cup. ' * * '*''" OPERATIC is a likely hack to upset some hot pot m a maiden. * *• •;'.-. AFTER the Auckland meeting "Snow" Moroney, who has spent the winter months at Wanganui, will return to Featherston. * * * VANDYKE is unrul& at the peg, and unless he mends his habits there is going to be a curt note arriving at his address one of these days. • *■• - » ROY SYME lost his seat from Luminary in 'the Hurdles at the first fence on the first day at Wanganui, and on the second Len Dulieu took the mount. Len took the first very carefully, but from then on he was never m danger of getting licked. « * ' • TOPERE has been doing his work •*• nicely of late and can be expected to show improved form any time now. * - • • He is due to race at Gerald ine, where he is engaged m the Cup. *'• " # w . . THE absence of Chrbmadyne's name *• from the Flying acceptances at Avondale left punters without a chance to make a firm favorite. * ' •. ' • . THEY went Walter Rayner all ways 1 at Wanganui last week. The first day he . supplied a hot pop m Ceremony, but when up m the lead m the open six, and apparently going on all eight, he stopped as if he had been shot. * • Then later Walter found that his house had been burgled, but though the intruders made a mess that was -•--—'- . about the sum total of their efforts. * * ■ * [ On Saturday Walter thought Pomp a sitter m the hack six, but at the jump out the three-year-old was all but skittled. *# # . He had to put m a wonderful effort to get within cooee'of the leaders, but when that was unwound he was gone. V . « #• • However, the sun will soon break through the clouds. Look out for j Pomp. . '-
