J. Pceats is now located in the stables at Grecnmujdowd adjacent to Napier rarK.

The first foal of the season reported In Auckland is that of the trotllns: mar« Miss Iloire, which has a lilly lv Maii-o'-War.

.1. Williamson lias purchased a two-year-old, by Magpie, since he has been in Sydney, and this youngster will be brought back to Now Zealand.

Ttic speculation or one sovereign on Rawene and Waetea at FUceartOn on Saturday would have returned a few shillings over the century.

It Is a pity that Lochson met with an Injury recently, but latest advices from the Soutli show that he is practically all right again. lie is a good hurdler and, lit and well, should pay liis way at the Grand National Meeting:.

The Absuril-Moira Machreo colt In J. Buchanan's stable has Into a nire two year-oia, and lie should be ready for early spring raclnsr. This trainer still has Joy Hide, and It Is understood that negotiations for the sale of ihis gelding aro proceeding.

Tallstar is the name which Mr. A. H. Siorey, of Tβ Awamutu, has Becured for his two-year-old chestnut colt by t>ay Comet—Olson. The juvenile ranks as a half brother to Snake, tho wellknown jumper which earned good money ror Mr. n. iiannon prior to (,-olng on" trie scene in the middle stages of last season.

Klllaire finished close up In tho Te Aro Handicap on the lirst day or the Wellington Winter Meeting and won the Crofton Handicap on the second day. He U engaged at Rie-mrlon, and on recent form should soon credit Mr. W. 11. Kembali with another stake.

Kuhia ran well at Wellington, finishing: second to Brigadier mil in the Te Aro Handicap (seven rurlonss) on the opening clay and winning tlie Kla Oro Handicap on tho .*oroml day. With 10.1 lie is not overburdened in the Avonhead Handicap, though Ruby lllng with 0.12 looks to hold him safe.

Booinerday and Tlnokaha will probably be Iho elect of backers in the Jumpers' Flat Race at Rlccarton next ' Tuesday. Both have pood performances to tbeir credit on tlin nat, and they should give their supporters a good run for their money. Tlnokaha showed at Wellington in tlie Winter Hurdle Race thai hu siiit retains a fair dash of speed, i

It Is stated that last Sunday Pittswortl). Royal Abbey, and King Abbey were taken rrom Sydney to Melbourne, antt they will bo competitors at the V.A.T.C. mcettng to-day. Pitta worth has 11.0 in tho Australian Steeplechase, ami Noyal Abboy 11.8. mc distance Iβ about Tour miles, and one would select Piusworth to be Hie better of the pair at that distance. Firebliffht has nonin into favour for the. Grand iNaiUmal Steeplechase, and on ttift way slni run In tho Hack Steeples at the rnrent Wolllnpton Meeting, she 13 sure to have many admirers. However, one has to go back to Sir William Russel's JV'adador in nnd a mare winning the event. Three miles and a-liall" seems a trine far for tliein. Oakleish has been training well at Ulccarton, and southern reports give the old rcllow more than a passing: chance of winning tho Grand National Steeplechase. Oakieigh won in 10 22 with 10.7, and repeated the performance last year with 12.0. Next weelc ho is carrying 12.5, but he knows the country so well that no is sure to beat more than beats him. l.ipsol, a llve-year-old greldinsr by Kilbroney—Rouge, has been leased by Ills breeder. Sir George Hunter, to F. Hlggol. Lipsol Is a half-brother to War I'atli who, for some time, ran in the interests of the executors of tho DougiES Estate. Rouge, which produced the brace, is a half-sister by Charlemagne n. to Ukraine, the dam of tho defunct Sasanof. As the dates allotted the Wellington rtaclnp Cltili for the next autumn meeting, include Anzac Day, an endeavour Is I bring marie to pot the Rangitlkel Club. to aprer; to the dates oritrinally proposed, March 20 and 28. In addition to coming i so close to the close holiday, the April dates are within a day or two of tho Avonrtale Meeting, which would bo liable , to affect both meetings seriously.

Dominant (R. Reed) and Kuhio (f>. Butlerl went hair a mile at Tronlham during , the week on the sand. Kuhio began much better and soon had a break of two or three lengths, but they finished practically on terms in just under SOse.c. Both horses are going well, and Knhio particularly lias Improved with his two races at the Wellington Winter Meeting. Ilka was iriven a bit of strong work. These three go to Rlccartou.

Indications point to Anklet, by Limond, being the smartest or Mr. G. M. Curries new two year-olds at the early spring , meetings (says a Wanganui writer). This nice-looking brown lllly easily beat The Thorn, Vaudeville, and Ada Vale in a spin over three furlongs on Thursday morning, the time being 37 2-ssec. Vaudeville finished second, but Tho Thorn was easing up. Tho last-named is by Absurd, out or Roso Queen, and Is a splendid looking colt and should prove a top-notcher when ho sottles down.

Despite, the statements made in the South by tho trainer or Income, it does not appear as ir Income is the jumper he is credited with being. He gave a poor display over hurdles at niccarton during the week, and even though he is such a pood perTorrner on the tlat, one Would like to see him have a race over the battens before they would pin ■ their ralth solely to him to win an event like the Grand National Hurdle Rnce. If he wins, he will be some horse. This writer cannot see him beating- Nukumal, Vagabond, Omahu and one or two others over two miles and a hair, even though Gray will be aboard.

Lochella, which won the Great Northern Hurdle Race and the Great Northern Steeplechaso in 1920, arter capturing the Grand National Steeplechase in the previous year, has been allotted 11.0 in the big steeples at Riccarton next week, and it is stated that his connections are more than nopcftii that he win again succeed. He won the Great Northern Steeplechase with 11.0, and as his work has been improsMve at Rlccarton recently it will only require him to be at his best to have a good show.

Reports from Napier state that Kovno is to be tuken South for the Grand National Mentingr. She ran well in the Wellington Steeplechase for a long , way, and with 10.13 may claim most support in the Enlleld Steeplechase on Tuesday. Paul Pry, which won at the South Canterbury Hunt Club's Meeting, is also engaged in this event, and may have something to say at the nnish. Among those lie defeated were Tig-erlnnd and Master Peter, both Grand National Steeplechase candidates. There Is nothing looking , or working better in O'Neill's team at Hamilton East than Wenday, a chestnut representative of Day Comet—Wenonah, which is to make the opening appearance at Te Rapa in November. Wenday has the virtue or being a good doer, which is a beneficial factor when racing preparation is seriously under way. A November foal, by the way, Wenday is a well set-up youngster, or commanding length and generally, gives the impression that the part to be played on Uie tracts will-be l up to expectations.

Hatch has now in his care a ilve-year-old gelding by Sarto —Black Ada; 3 live-year-old gelding by All Ned—Headache, and a Sarto—Misa Station gelding.

Santiago ran second to Locnson in tlie May Hurdle Race at Wanganul, while he again llllcd a similar position behind l.ockson at the recent Christcliurch Hunt Club's Meeting:, and it would not be surprising , to see him show up prominently in the Trial Hurdle Race at Rlccarton next Tuesday. Ills impost, 10.7, should not prove prohibitive.

I Goldpiecc, after running second to Miss I Mlckoy in tho Hiirliweiifht Handicap at ' iho recent Wellington .Meeting, won the Talavera Hurdle Race on the second, day. He Is engaged at Rlecarton In the trial Hurdles with fI.C. and on the way lie raced at Trentharn lie should be handy ,in pome of his engagements before the meeting concludes.

I As anticipated In these columns last Wednesday, Fir Rosehery was allowed to fnrrpu ills engagements In the? Grand . National Steeplechase and will run in the hurdles. Previous to taking- on the steeples Sir Hoscbory was a good performer over the. sticks, nnd Ms effort in the Great Northern Steeplechase, when lie cleared out from the field showed that lie retains his pace and is an expert Jumper. With 9.13 he Is sure to bo in tuo limelight. I The Winter Cup has attracted a pood acceptance, and like most biir mile races In tho Dominion will srivc those present at Ricrarton rood for thought In selecting , tho actual winner. Itroadwood has made ( a host of friends since winning at the I Chrlstchnrrli Club's Meeting , , but Wassatl and Yoma will not lie neglected.
