JACK TAR, JUMPER

ENGAGED IN HURDLES. ANION CHANGES HANDS. TRENTHAM CANDIDATES. 4 One of the most interesting candidates for the hack hurdles at the Waikato Patriotic meeting on Saturday is the Captain Bunsby gelding Jack Tar, who has been allotted topwcight. j ack Tar has shown much better form on the flat than any of the others engaged, and if he jumps well, will take no end of beating. He ie reported to have pleased his connections in private. Other Takanini candidates for the above-mentioned meeting are Miss Valerie, Saccone. Surella and Bronze Traii.

Takanini horses nominated for the coming Wellington meeting include four members of E. Pope's team in Migg Valerie, Saccone, Air Port and Aberdovey. Sacconfe has been entered for the hack hurdle events and the Parliamentary Handicap, Miss Valerie for the hack sprint events, and Air Port and Aherdovipy for the Trial and Novice Handicaps, to be decided on the second and third days of the meeting. Regularly executing strong work is Flood Tide, and lie is showing his former dash.

The Tribal gelding has had nn Interesting career, iiu-ludlng' more than one unsuccessful trip to Australia. At one time he was considered to be one of the most promising namUcap performers in • the north, but whether he will regain that form Iβ a matter for conjecture. It Is conceded that he is doing everything required of him and he would only need to maintain his present rate of progress to again earn distinction. The Auckland owner, Mr. A. H. Paul, has not enjoyed the best of luck with his horses for some time past, but Inver and Princess Val have returned to work with renewed vigour, after beneficial respites, and possibly the new season may.have better things in store for this sportsman. The horses are agnin under the guidance of R. Miller, whose Ijtable is also represented by Lovaals and Flood Tide It is more than likely that' -Inver will be given a chance to redeem' himself at hurdling, for which he has already shown aptitude in schooling tasks. No fault can be found with the condition of the Avondnle Stakes winner Lovaals. It will be remembered that she was ready very early In the season, but failed in subsequent outings. Lovaals is a full sister to Valmint, and should not be hard to place to advantage in the new term. Hiss Valerie May Atone. Considered a trifle unlucky in the running at Waipu last week-end, Mlsa Valerie will have an opportunity to make amends at re Kapa on Saturday, when she is enstaced In the Soldiers' Hack Handicap. She was beaten narrowly by Glenbevan at Te Raoa last month, and the latter looks to be one or her most formidable opponents. Miss Valerie is extremely well and may atone for her Walpa failure. Windcress has resumed work and while apparently recovered from the recent misBap, his connections may have some trouble in keeping him on his legs." Windcress had given a dashing display of jumping prior to his fall, and It is Intended to race him again over fences, if he survives a preparation.

n .S»» b «» consistency was rewarded at Walpa by a nice victory In the Park Steeplechase. Only a young horse, Dauber may prove one of the finds of the season amone the Jumpers, and it is to be hoped that he undertakes a trip to Riccarton, where his prospects in the steeplechase could not &i e rlH 1 n° k « ed -K ," ,8 ."tfwrtood that con.slderation is being given to this project Dauber's consistency reflects great credit «». trainer-Jockey A.
