STABLE AND TRACK NOTES.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS. After racing at the Auckland spring meeting Claremore's tasks were restricted to easy work around the hills. He has freshened up again and is in good order to undergo a solid preparation. All going well in the interval, the Cynic gelding will make his next appearance in hurdle races at the Auckland summer meeting. SHOWED PLENTY OF SPEED. In both races that she contested at Takapuna Princess Star displayed all her customary speed, but found the opposition just a shade too good for her. The daughter of Sandstar and Jolly Princess begins very fast and has plenty of pace, but appears to lack stamina. With a little improvement in that respect this filly should hold her own in hack sprint events around the country meetings. RULANUT SOLD. At the Caulfield races on November 18 Rulanut, who on the previous Thursday won the Cranbourne Cup, was sold privately by Mackinnon and Cox to Mrs. K. Wilson, of Melbourne. Rulanut belonged to the well-known New Zealand owner Mr. W. P. Kemball, who also recently disposed of Metro at a substantial price. Rulanut won races while under the care of George Jones, but in future lie will be trained at Caulfield by F. Robinson. A PROSPECTIVE HURDLER. Riotous, who figures in the Mangatua Hurdle Race at Woodville is reported to bo jumping well in his schooling tasks at Awapuni. This four-year-old was a winner on the flat last season, and with experience is likely to develop into a payable hurdle proposition. He is trained by L. Knapp, who has had a lot of experience with jumpers, and if the Birkdale gelding fails to win a hurdle event it will be because he is not good enough. RAN A GOOD RACE. The local two-year-old Deputy Ruler ran : a solid race when he finished second to i Tavern Knight in the Rakiuo Handicap on the final day at Takapuna. This juvenile had been galloping in improved style at Kllerelio prior to the meeting, and he ran right up to his track form in the race. Deputy Ruler has had little public experience, but is a solid-looking juvenile, who is sure to do better when he becomes properly seasoned, for he has abundance of speed. .. .. MIDINETTE'S SUCCESS. By winning the Feilding Stakes Midinette made amends for her past failures and was evidently better suited by the lefthanded going, as she is inclined to bore out the reverse way round. There is no doubt regarding this filly's speed, and she is likely to win plenty of races in the future. Midinette figures on the minimum in the Railway Handicap, and if she goes to the post in the big sprint event she is sure to prove troublesome to the topweight division. ON THE EASY LIST. After racing at Takapuna Tarporley was given a course of physic and has been on the easy list for a few days. The son of Flying King has been a consistent performer ever since he first began racing, and if he stands up to a solid preparation looks certain to win more money. He is a good stayer, who can always be relied on I to run up to his best track form in a race. It is doubtful if the best has yet been seen of Tarporley, who has been troubled with soreness for some weeks past. MAY SOON DO BETTER. La Moderne had another defeat recorded against her in the Feilding Cup and the daughter of Lord Quex is not racing as well as she promised earlier in the season. She was a brilliant two-year-old last season and also raced prominently at the Wanganui meeting a couple of months ago. Later, at Riccarton, she finished second to Silver Scorn in the New Zealand Oaks, but the other candidates that finished behind the pair were very moderate. La Moderne is now well down in the handicaps, and if she strikes her true form an early success should soon come her way A PROMISING FILLY. Importance, who is a half-sister to a useful quintet in Autobiography, Wayward, Pride, Jaloux and Ilkley, is the property of Mr. B. F. Spiers, who raced gallopers a few years ago, but has of late confined his attention to trotters. She cannot boast of much size, but is full of quality and has always displayed a turn of speed on the track. She ran a good race in the Oaks while her condition lasted, but had not done much galloping since, and this fact contributed towards the big price she paid. Importance can be expected to show further improvement with racing and should turn out a good bargain for her new owner. PRODUCTIONS OF JERICHO. One of the most attractive young horses in training at Riccarton at present is a filly by Jericho from an Achilles mare, in F. D. Jones' stable. She is very well grown, and if looks are to be taken seriously she will reach high class. Jones also has a two-year-old by Jericho from Luminant in his charge, owned by Mr. .George Gould. This youngster, who will race under the name of Fat Lux, is also full of quality, and although he may not be called upon to race for some months, he gives every indication of developing into a good galloper. Jericho himself could justly claim to be one of the best-looking thoroughbreds in commission, and this asset, combined with his unquestionable rich blood lines, would point to his success as a sire. SOME PROMISING JUVENILES. j The Te Aroha owner Mr. P. A. Swncy has several juveniles coming on and expects to have two of them racing later on in the season. One is a two-year-old gelding by Acre from Mangamairc, which is in regular work and is reported to be displaying a lot of promise. This juvenile is well grown and on appearances should turn out above the average. The other is a filly of the same ago by Musketoon from Lagg, by General La tour from Monoquil, .by Cyrenian.. This filly is not being hurried and is unlikely to race until next autumn. Mr. Swuey also has a colt foal by Acre from Honiton and a filly foal by Musketoon from Mangamairc. Mangamaire died a week after foaling, but the filly, which is being reared by a foster-mother, is thriving exceptionally well. AUCKLAND CUP CANDIDATE. Tout le Mond was responsible for another impressive winning performance on Saturday, and, taking his last three races into consideration, which have resulted in two wins and a second placing, he has struck the form which was expected of him at the earlier spring meetings. The substantial price he was allowed to pay was one of the day's surprises (says "The Press"), but this was due to the fact that he failed badly in soft going both at Dunedin and Trentham, in October, and it was not thought that he would handle the wet surface in Saturday's race. He not only made light work of his task, but was going right away over the final stages, and was little distressed on returning. He will now be a useful second string in the Auckland Cup for Dr. Loiusson, who will also probably be represented by Gay Crest, and with the 7.0 the Limond _ gelding has received he will enter into early calculations for the big two-mile race. Tout le Mond is also included in the list for the Great Northern Derby, but his programme as fains that classic is concerned will depend on the strength of t' e likely opposition. J"
