STABLE AND TRACK NOTES

A WORLD'S RECORD. *j ?yh e world's record time for six furlongs wi" established at Brighton (England) wfcen the Broken Tendril gelding (in England, unlike Australia and Aew Zealand, it impermissible to race unnamed runners, the sires breeding being sufficient description) eight years ago was clocked to cover the three-quarters of a mile in 1.6 1-5. RETIRED TO STUD. The brilliant Gold Boa has been retired to the stud and will visit Paladin nfxt season. Paladin has sired some good performers in Chide, Palantua and others of more than a useful type. Gold Boa'made a" noise towards the end of her racing career, and so. did half-brother* in Last March and Dismiss, a trouble also displayed by their dam. Grand Finale, a full-brother to Last March, remains sound in the wind after several seasons' racing, and Dismiss, who was particularly speedy, had a malformation in the gullet and a badly-set head that contributed to his development of trouble. WELL-BRED GALLOPER. The Trentham trainer H. B. Lorigan holds White Lady, a winner at Carterton last Saturday, on lease from Mrs. L., Miss C., and Mr. Hunter White, of Sydney She was passed in at the Sydney sales last Easter. She is a daughter of Tippler and I the Valaw—Beanbri mare Valley, a sister to Valwyne, who wag a useful performer I in Victoria, and she is a full relative to Wet Sail and Rona Valley, both winners about Sydney. The family is the same as that to which Patron (Melbourne Cup), Patroness (Sydney Cup), Belgamba (triple St. Leger winner), and also the New Zealaiuler Sunee belong. White Lady is the name of a popular cockt-iil. MANAWATU CLUB. Acceptances for the first day of the autumn meeting of the Manawatu Racing Club, to be held on March 25 and 26, close i with the secretary on Monday, at 9 pjn.

. /CMAf , , Master Anomaly is the latest recruit to the ranks of crosscountry horses.. He has been schooled oV& the sodwall and brush double at WingAttti and shapes well. He flies his hurdles and does the same at fences. • . PUT ASIDE UNTIL WINTER. Trench Fight,...who recently developed aplint trouble, is to be put aside for the winter, in the hope that he will be able to resume training in view of the spring racing. GUINEA FOWL SOLD. Mr. G. R. Macdonald has disposed of his three-year-old filly Quinea Fowl to the Wingatui trainer F. Shaw. She showed marked promise when she won her first race, the John Grigg Stakes, at Ashburton, but has been a disappointment since. INJURY TO HOCK. Janet Gaynor shows scars on the inside of the near hock through coming into contact with a wire fence at Gore. The mishap, which was not serious, proved sufficiently so to prevent her from racing on the second day of the meeting. RELATIVE OF PETER PAN. Peter Pan's two-yearvjld sister, Tinker Bell, who is one of E. D. Lawson's team at Randwick, is well developed, and more than average interest will attach to liow she turns out. As her dam, Alwina, was trained at two years, but was not reckoned good enough to race, and her second' and third dams did not distinguish themselves, she is not favoured by her sex. In coloui she is brown. Not many mares produce two really higli-clafs horses, and while Peter Pan's half-brother, Brazilian, is niort Stylish in appearance than*, the former there is, up to the present, Bo comparison -between them as racehorses.
