HORSE DESTROYED.

DEATH OF HURLY BURLY.

INJURES HER LEG.

NOTES ON .RECENT FORM,

•B- The five-year-old mare Hurly Burly, t member of the team trained by Cutts ';:. Brothers for Sir Charles Clifford, had 2 her career ended this morning, says our Christchurch correspondent. She was "=• worked over about six furlongs with a Js£ stable-mate, and when pulled up it was ;; found that her off foreleg was seriously -vv damaged, the joint being either broken or badly dislocated. . After an examination it was deemed- necessary to destroy ■££ 3ier. Hurly Burly, by Panmure from '■» Scrimmage, won two races at the Manas'.," watu summer meeting • last, season. '7 Those were her only successes, and her *£ public form was disappointing as she was a very smart track galloper, especially 12. early in career. ■. ■ !' CAN HE REPEAT IT? Otairi, who figures in the Flying Han- ™ clicap, to be run at Ellerslie next Satur- **» day, won that event twelve months ago s« with 7.9 on his back. Since then the Paper 2£' Money gelding has put up several good ' v performances, and a3 he is a particularly < smart galloper, who can handle any going, he is likely to get good support. H. Gray %£ has been engaged to ride Otairi in the seven-furlong event. FIRST OF CAPE HORN'S. Cape Gold, who won the Nursery Handicap at Hastings on Saturday, is the first of the progeny of Cape Horn (He — White Squall) to win. He raced at Wanganui but finished well back. Cape Gold is owned by Mr. W. R. Kemball, who also owns Cape Horn. His dam, Missgold, won the Great Northern St. Leger Stakes in 1920 for Mr. Kemball. AN UNLUCKY THREE-YEAR OLD Admiral Drake'raced rather unluckily as a three-year-old last season, for, though he ran some really good races, he only succeeded in winning two events, being placed on seven other occasions. He was having his first race since June last when he contested the Flying Handicap, six furlongs, at the Hawke's Bay meeting on Saturday, in which he finished second to Hunting Day. Admiral Drake should do better before long and he seems to race best when fresh. MAY BE IN DEMAND. In his two starts this season Vandyke's record is one first and a second placing and he is evidently a smart galloper who is likely to win further stake-money. Vandyke was not raced at the Avondale meeting, but he has been making good progress in his training tasks since arriving at Ellerslie and should show up during the coming meeting. He is engaged in the Gordon Handicap, one mile, next Saturday, and if started, is sure to be in demand. LIKES GOING SOFT. If the track conditions remain as at .present Seatown will be in his element for the Mitchelson Cup contest next Saturday, for the chestnut gelding revels in the heavy going. He looks all the better for his racing at Avondale and has evidently suffered no ill-effect from his fall in the Plumpton Handicap, for he has been galloping exceptionally well at Ellerslie since that meeting. He won the Manawatu Cup, one mile and a half, in 'December last on a soft track, carrying 8.4, and with the same impost in the Mitchelson Cup next Saturday he can be relied on to put up a solid performance. HUNTINGDON'S SUCCESS. Huntingdon was engaged in both the Hawke's Bay Guineas and the Flaxniere Handicap, six furlongs, at Hastings on Saturday last, but took on the latter event, in which he led from end to end. 1 Huntingdon won at Gisborne, but has raced well in the interim, though he did not succeed in getting another winning bracket till Saturday. He ran a good fourth in the Durie Hack Handicap, six furlongs, at Wanganui, and was third to Autopay and Zarene in the Spring Hack Handicap, six furlongs, on the second day, half heads dividing the placed , horses. He is by Hunting Song from Arbroath, by Aberbrothock (winner of - the Metropolitan Handicap, one mile and a half, at Riccarton and other good races) from Sanguinary, the dam of Royal Blood ' (winner of the Railway Handicap at Ellerslie). SIMBA IMPROVING. I Simba showed promising form as a 1/ two-year-old early last spring. He opened his account by annexing the Debutante Stakes at Wanganui, and followed this up by accounting for the Nursery Handicap at the Hawke's Bay spring meeting. He finished third in the ; Wellesley Stakes, but; being unplaced in - Ins next two efforts, went into retirement in December and was not produced again till the recent Dannevirke meeting, where he ran unplaced. He did not start in the Wanganui'Guineas, but contested the Eclipse Stakes on the, second day, being one of the leaders for a good portion of the way. Simba had _ his. next outing in the Hawke's Bay Guineas' on Saturday, finishing second to Lady Pam, and it looks as though he may soon - return to the form he displayed early in his career. ENTERED FOR ELLERSLIE. Royal Parade is engaged in the Shorts Handicap at the Auckland meeting on Saturday next. Last Saturday he was having his first race since last May and finished a good third to Hunting Day and Admiral Drake. Last season Royal Parade was beaten by three-quarters of a length by Richfield in the Ruahine Hack Handicap, six furlongs, at Trentham. He had 7.41 and the distance was covered in I.lls. His next placing was at Riccarton, when Disorder and Richfield beat him in the Linwood Handicap, seven furlongs, which was run in 1.25 3-5. Glo.nartney, who was pretty smart, defeated him in a six-furlong event at Woodville, but, coming on to Auckland, he accounted for the eecond division of the Robinson Handicap, seven furlongs, in 1.27 4-5. Royal Parade's next success was at Dannevirke, when he won the President's Handicap eix furlongs, in 1.13 1-5. He also annexed -the Porangahau Handicap, of similar dis- ; tance, at the Hawke's Bay autumn meet- • ing, in 1.13; Ho finished second tc f Awarcre in the Railway Handicap, sis I furlongc, at Avondale, the time beim { 1.12 4-5, but on the next day won tin Mount Eden Handicap. He was onb ■beaten by a neck by Equitant in th" jjorougii Handicap, six furlongs, at th • ■\VaiiKtt ,1,, ' filter meeting. These wer t Royal Parade's best efforts during th period stated, and by his running o % gaturday it docs not look as if he will I bU**» long i» again getting on the winning lis

ENGAGEMENTS AT NAPIER. H. Goldfinch will attend the Napier Park meeting on Saturday, where he will ride My Own, Canpat, Jenny Diver, Simba, Sir Limond, Movietone and Futurist. He will be at Ellerslie on Monday. JOYSPEAR FOR ELLERSLIE. Joyspear, a recent winner at Wanganui, is engaged in the Gordon Handicap at Ellerslie next Saturday and his latest form points to him putting up a good showing in that event. H. Wiggins, who rode him when he won at Wanganui, has been engaged to ride the Greyspear gelding at Ellerslie. GAY COCKADE VERY WELL. Gay Cockade looks an improved horee after his racing at Avondale and it will not be for want of condition if he fails to show up at Ellerslie. This gelding stays on well and is also partial to a soft track, and with these conditions to favour him next Saturday he should put up a first-class effort. FROM N.Z. CUP WINNER. Brittany, who was tWrd in the Nursery Handicap at Hastings on Saturday, is owned and was bred by Mr. J. D. Ormond. .This was his first race and he is stated to have been rather unlucky. Brittany is by Arausio from Idealize, by' Charlemagne from Idee, by Birkenhead from Ideal, who dead-heated with Fulnien in the New Zealand Cup in 1900. AN .IMPROVING JUMPER. Twinkler, .who claims an engagement in the Hunters' Steeplechase at Ellerslie this week, gave a good exhibition of jumping over a round of the steeplechase course last Saturday morning. The Day Comet gelding has not had much racing experience, still he is showing promising jumping ability for a beginner and should improve with racing. MAY DO BETTER. Hynanna finished third in the Spring Handicap at Hastings on Saturday and there is no doubt that he is steadily coming to his best form. The race was a slow run one and this was not in his favour, but he is reported to have been staying on better than anything at the finish. Hynanna a season or two ago was a really good-class handicap horse, and he would only need to approach that form to win races. A GOOD ONE. Hunting Day proved himself a good sort last season, and it looks as though he will be an even better horse this season.' He was not started from the Auckland autumn meeting till last Saturday, when he accounted for the Flying Handicap, six furlongs, at Hastings. Among his successes last year -was the Railway Handicap, six furlongs, at Trentham, in which he beat a big field in a most decisive manner. RIDERS FOR ELLERSLIE. Pomp will be ridden in the Great Northern Guineas by R. McTavish, while J. Rayner will have the mount on Pedestal in the Mitchelson Cup. So far no rider has been engaged for Ceremony in the Shorts Handicap, nor have any riding engagements been made for any of W. D. Moroney's team. W. Broughton will ride Prince of Orange in the. Mitchelson Cup. : HANDLES HEAVY GOING; \ After his two efforts at Avondale Grand Tea is likely to be in demand if started in the Flying Handicap.at Ellerslie next Saturday, in which event he will be ridden by H. Wiggins.' This gelding handles the heavy going remarkably well, and although he -will be meeting stronger opposition than he defeated at Avondale his prospects of getting in the money appear good. ENGLISH-BRED ASTON. The English-bred Aston does not race, much, but when he does he usually goes pretty well in the majority of his races. Last season he started on ten occasions, winning two and being placed in three other events. He was looked upon solely as a sprinter till the Napier Park winter meeting, when he created a surprise by winning the Ladies' Bracelet, one_ mile and a quarter, with 11.7. Aston is engaged at the Napier Park meeting next Saturday. RELATIVE TO KAITI. Souchong, who won the Trial Stakes at Hastings on Saturday, showed to advantage earlier in the season, when he ran third in a division of the Tiratu Maiden Stakes at Dannevirke. On Saturday, which was his next effort, he won all the way and gave promise of beating much more select company. Souchong comes from a speedy family, for he is a half-brother to Kaiti, Kaihoro and Dissertation, by Arausio. His dam, Suratura, was a good performer in New Zealand about sixteen years ago. She was by Saracen. Mr. P. F. Wall, who races Kaiti and Kaihoro, also has Souchong. PROMISING THREE-YEAR-OLD. Sympathetic has only had a couple of races, but it will not be long before she is on the winning list, judging by those efforts. She first sported silk in the Maiden Race at the Hawke's Bay Hunt meeting and showed up for a while. Her next start was on Saturday last, when she was beaten by Souchong in the Trial Stakes, five .furlongs and a half, at the Hawke's ■ Bay spring meeting. Sympathetic is by Martian from Sweet Charity, and was a foal at foot when her dam was bought by Mr. A. B. Williams for 80Ogs at the Kinloch dispersal sale. On the same day Mr. Williams acquired Cymene, who then had Cylinder at foot. H. B. GUINEAS WINNER. Lady Pam, who won the Hawke's Bay Guineas, has a lot of pace, while she is also bred to stay. She is by Limond from Princess Pat, by All Black (sire of Desert Gold), from Martian Princess, by Martian from Two Step, by Sfcepmak from Faraway, who traces back to Musket. She was a good two-year-old last season, winning four events 'out of eight starts. When raced at Wanganui early this month she was not ready, but the racing there improved her and she wound up by finishing third in the Eclipse Stakes, seven, furlongs, to Laughing Prince and Toxeuma. Lady Pam should again be very hard to beat in forthcoming engagements. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. WAGER.—The placings in the A.R.C.
