TAKAPUNA JOCKEY CLUB

TO BE SPELLED

STANDFAST'S INJURIES.

The Waikato owner Mr. M. H. Tims does not intend to do much racing during the next couple of seasons, by which time he anticipates having several youngsters of his own breeding to carry his colours. He has just broken in a yearling brother to Te Kara, who is.stated to be a wellgrown youngster and will later on be placed under A. Cook's care. Among the mares owned by Mr. Tims are Kilbeggan, the dam of Karapoti, also a full'-eister to Fvarapoti, both being due to foal early in the new season, the former being stinted ' to General Lutour.

Historic was allotted six furlongs, which he completed in 1.25 1-5. He worked nicely and looks improved by his recent racing. Chromadyne and Gay Cockade were sent hnlf a mile, the former going right away from his companion at the finish in 52 l-ss. High Commissioner and Kawainga did strong work over a round, which they covered in 2.7 ,'i-5, the final half mile talcing 50 2-ss. High Commissioner was doing best at the finish. Baroscope and Princess Bede completed a half mile task in 545. They were on terms at the end. Gay Court hit out nicely over four furlongs, which he traversed in 52 2-ss. This horse lias been galloping well since he arrived here, but has failed to show up in his racing. SubEditor and Mahkill got to the end of live furlongs in 1.10 4-5. They were .-together till the top of the straight, when'a heavy hail shower came on, and Mahkill stopped badly. - Sub-Editor beat her by several lengths. Consent sprinted down the straight, and Fairway also <li<l strong work. Neither horse was timed. Sports King ran six furlongs in 1.26 1-5, and was finishing on at the end. The hurdlers Easterly and Balloon wore given strong work over a mile and a half, but were not after time. The best halt' mile of the morning was recorded by All Humbug, who beat Lucy Rose comfortably in 51 2-ss. This was a first-class effort, and All Humbug was going exceptionally well at the finish. Nukumai and Callamart got to the end of a round in 2.4 4-5, the final half mile taking 59 3-ss. Vandyke and a companion completed six furlongs in 1.2G 2-5. doing it comfortably.' High Pitch and Arikira worked over a couple of rounds on the sand, running their last seven furlongs in 1.43 4-5. High Pitch did his work in great style. Little Doubt and King's Archer went away slowly from the seven-furlong post and finished up in 1.40 1.-5, the last six furlongs taking 1.23 1-5. Little Doubt was kept up to his work at the finish and beat hiscoinpauion by a couple of lengths, but King's Archer could have been closer up.

Wiltshire was given strong work, being timed to run his last round in 2.10. Hampton Park got to the end of half a mile in 56 2-ss. He was going comfortably throughout. Town Beauty and Billy Boy were given useful work, averaging about 15s to the furlong. Town Beauty went much more freely than his companion. The hurdler Cruachan was sent over a round in 2.8 4-5, doing his work well. The only horse to be tried over hurdles was Slump, 'ridden by R. E. Thomson, who jumped two satisfactorily. He afterwards did strong work on the sand track. . Clarcmore is an unlikely starter in the Winter Steeplechase. Others to do useful tasks were Royal Gallant. Jewelled Girdle, Mocmfleet, Sunny Sky, Fairway. Master Lu, Absent, Bronze Tray, and The Tiger. .

Nominations for the Takapuna 1 late and Wynyartl Plate, to be run at 1 akapuna, close with the secretary of the Takapuna Jockey Club, Mr. F. McVciy, at 5 p.m. next Friday.

Ruling King, who ran unplaced in the first division of the Jervois Handicap at Ellerslio last Friday, will not be raced a-'ain until next season. This hack won W minor event at the Avondale meeting m the autumn, and as lie possesses abundance of speed and comes from a sucoesslu racing family, more is likely to be heard of him later on.

When .Standfast fell while contesting the Great Northern Hurdles ho injured one of his hocks, and conscqquontly had to forego his later engagements for the meeting. R. Matecr has the Valkyrian gelding in great fettle, and it is to be hoped that the injury will not be serious enough to put him out of action for any length of time. In his earlier form over hurdles Standfast displayed a fair amount of promise for a novice, and ho is a horse likely to do considerably better with more i experience.
