The Absurd-Moira Machree colt in J. Buchanans stable has furnished into a nice two-year-old, and he should be ready ror early spring racing. This trainer still has Joy Ride, and it is undersiood that negotiations for the sale of this gelding are proceeding.

Glenontus (Stanway) gave a most pleasing exhibition over the rences on the llat at Ellerslie tills morning. This gelding is looking- particularly well.

Cold Plane (Watson) and Prince Charleroi (Nixon) went over, two hurdles this morning at Ellerslie, but the former did not give her usual good display.

White Coma: sad Paddon are being jogged anoui tne roads at Hamilton at present. A little later on they will be asked to speed up. The Nassau —Lady Frisco ally in the same stable is a very attractive youngster.

Nigg-er Minstrel, according- lo a Napier exchange, is due lo leave there for Sydney next Wednesday. He will be in demand ror the A.J.C. Derhy, but in Leslie Wallace and Killochra no will have something to beat if the trio face the barrier.

The spring- meetings or the Auckland Racing- ciub and the Canterbury Jockey Club do not clash this year. The former will be held on November 1 and 3, and the latter on November 8, 10, 13, and 15 Nominations for the New Zealand Cup will close on August 22.

Bulforcl and Adjiitor, both winners at the Christchurch Hunt Club Meeting, will probably carry most support in tlio Hunters' Hurdles at Christchurch next Tuesday. The latter has just on I3st, but seems to be a class above those engaged.

Nig-ger Minstrel, Mime (the two-year-old full-brother to Parody), Father's Voice. Bosh and Falladeen. Santiago ran second to Lochson in the May Hurdle Race at Wangamii, while He again filled a similar position behind Lorkaon at the recent Chrlstclmrrh Hunt Club's Meeting, and it would not bo surprising to sec him show up prominently in the. Trial Hurdle Face ar. TUccartoh next Tuesday. His impost, 10.7, should not prove prohibitive. The following two-year-olds were sprinted a couple or furlongs on the two-year-old track at Ellerslie this morningCh c by Absurd—Moir.a Machree, eh r I.omint. by Catmint—Loloma. b r Jesnette hy Romeo—Dixieland, blk f Charis by Liicuiius—Duchess Eudorus, b c Thursbv by Thurnham — Hessian, -and br g by Romeo—Cadence.

It Is stated that last Sunday Plttsworth, Royal Abbey, and King Abbey were taken from Sydney to Melbourne, and-they will be competitors at the V.A.T.C. meeting to-day. Plttsworth has 11.6 in the Australian Steeplechase, and Royal Abbey 11.3. The distance is about four miles, and one would select Pittsworth to be the better or the pair at that distance.

I.ipsol, .-. five-year-old gelding by Kllbroney—l-iOUBc, lias been leased by his bleeder, Sir George Hunter, to I", iiiggot. Lipsol is a lialf-broinor to War Path who, lor some time, ran in the interests or the executors or - the Douglas Estate. Ttougp, which produced the brace, is a hair-sister by Charlemagne 11. to Ukraine, the dam or the deTunct Sasanof. •

As the dates allotted the Wellington Racing Club for the next autumn meeting include Anzac Day, an endeavour is being made to get the Rangitikel Club to agree to the dates originally proposed, March 2G and 28. In addition to coming so close to the close holiday, the April dates are within a day or two of the Avondale Meeting, which would be liable to affect both meetings seriously.

Dominant (R. Reed) and Kuhlo (D. Rutlor) -wont halt' a mile at Trentham during- the work on the sand. Kuhlo began much better and soon hart a break or two or three lengths, but lhi\y nnished practically on terms in just under noser, noth horses arc going- well, and Kuhio particularly has improved with his two races at the Wellington Winter Meeting. Ilka was piven a bit or strong wort. Tlieso three go to Riccarton.

Lochella, which won the Great Northern I Hurdle Race and the Great Northern Steeplechase In 1920, arter capturing the Grand National Steeplechase in the previous year, lias been allotted 11.0 in the tiig steeples at Riccarton next week, and; ii is stated that his connections are more than hopeful that' he will again succeed. He won the Great Northern Steeplechase wlili li.o, and as his work has been' impressive at Riccarton recently it will' only require him to be at his best to have I a good show.

Father's Voice, who wont amiss after the AU-Aprcd Stakes at Avondale in the autumn, has apparently quite recovered and will form one ot Mr. W. G. Slead's team for Australia. According to a Napier wriler he has filled out in every way, and i≤ now a magnificently-propor-tioned colt. Mr. Stead is also sending over Falladeen. by Feramorz—nhelmona; Bosh, by Absurd—Steinhall; Horoscope, by Absurd —Lady Ball; Limerick, by Absurd—Lallali Rookh, and a Ilily by Absurd—Las. Vegas.

Indications point to Ankle!, by I.fmnnd, lining the smartest of Mr. G. M. Curries new two-year-olds at the early spring meetings (says a Wanifanui 'writer). This nice-looking- brown lllly easily bent 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 The Thorn was easing up. The last-named is by Absurd, out or Rose Queen, and Is a splendid looking , colt and should prove a top-iiotcher when 6e settles down. As anticipated In these columns last Wednesday. Sir Rosebery was allowed to .forfeit his engagements )n the Grand National Steeplechase and will run in the hurdles. Previous to talcing on the steeples Sir Rosebcry was a good performer over the sticks, and his elTort in the Great Northern Steeplechase when he cleared out from the field showed that he retains his pace and Is an expert jiimper. With 9.13 he is sure to he in the limelight. The Winter Cun has attracted a pood acceptance., and like, most bitr mile races in Hie Dominion will Rive those present at Ricrarton food for thought in selecting the actual winner. Broadwood has made a host or friends since winning at the Christcnurch Club's Meeting , , but Wassail, and Yoma win not be neglected. Yoma appears to be Broadwoofl's chief rival, but Boadicea and Red Wink -will also ha** » large following.
