STABLE AND TRACK NOTES.

WAIKATO FOALINGS. Wee Rose, by Wairiki from Miss Rose, has produced a colt foal to Spear Dance. The new arrival is a half-brother to Eager Rose. Quinkama, by Quin Abbey from Kakama, has produced a colt to General Latour. NIGHTLY UNLUCKY. Nightly, the favourite for the Wainui Handicap at Trentham on Thursday, was unlucky to miss some of tho money. He began slowly, and after going about a furlong he seemed to run into trouble. When the straight was readied he stiff was a long way back, but a great finishing effort saw him just miss a place. He might have been third had he finished his run on the outside, but he edged in and came homo the last fifty yards with horses all round him. Tt was a good effort and he will win again soon.

JUST BEATEN. Senegal, a four-year-old by Nigger Minstrel, was always in the picture in the October Handicap at Trentham on Thursday, and he finished on very resolutely. He may be an early winner, and he looks like running out a longer journey than six furlongs, though his dam, Kinsem, by Autumnus, was best known as a brilliant sprinter. COSTLY TO BACKERS. Doiran was costly to backers in the Glen High-weight at Trentham on Thursday. He was near the tail of the field early and his rider seemed content to stay there till nearing the home turn. He finished well, but he had too much ground to make up in the last three furlongs. As it was, he was one of the four in line behind the first pair. BRED TO STAY. Marcus Cicero failed to begin smartly in the Wellesley Stakes at Trentham, but he made hosts of admirers by the resolute manner in which he ran out the final furlong, in which he bridged a gap of several lengths to finish close up to Pin Money. Marcus Cicero, by Hunting Song from the Kilbroney mare Oratrix, is bred to stay, and he will be a good horse later in the season. RAN A CREDITABLE RACE. The race Morehu had at Avondale has sharpened her up considerably, and, though beaten, the daughter of Lapidary put up a very encouraging effort. She began very smartly, but was not quite forward enough to see out the seven furlongs, though the race is sure to do her a lot of good. With slight improvement Morehu will be hard to beat the next time she goes to the post in a maiden event. AN IMPRESSIVE RUN. Southdown was a well-backed horse in the October Handicap at Trentham on Thursday, and with average luck he would! have been in the money. He drew second from the rails, but missed the jump out, being back to last very soon and staying there for half the journey. His finishing run, which brought him home in sixth place, was very impressive, and ho may make amends before the end of the meeting. N. 2. CUP CANDIDATES. Rocket, who had his first race of the season in the Timaru Cup, gave at) improved j>erformance in the Wellington Handicap on Thursday in which he stayed on well to beat Shatter, who had finished in front of him at Washdyke. Tout le Mond cut up badly, never being far from last, and he beat only one, Clirysology, who finished last. His performance was a disappointment, after his Timaru Cup showing. Of the four Southerners who contested the race, Rocket looks the most likely on this form for the New Zealand Cup. It is hard to credit, however, that Tout le Mond showed the best he was of. PAYABLE PROPOSITION. Prostration, the winner of the October Handicap at Trentham on Thursday, is a three-year-old by Lord Quex from Termination. He is thus a half-brother to the Wellington Cup winner Stanchion, being a descendant of the great brood mare Stepfeldt, who left a number of good-class horses. Prostration cost 85gs at the Bidwill dispersal sale at Easter, and he is proving a great bargain for the Wellington business man, Mr. H. W. Moss, for whom he is trained by T. R. George at Blenheim. So far this season he has had four starts for two wins and two seconds, and the style in which he won his latest race suggested more successes, while he, may stay later on.
