HAS GOOD PROSPECTS By winning the President's Handicap at Gore, Anglo-Irish, the four-vear-old Sir Simper gelding in W. E. Hazlett's stable, completed the Winton-Gore double of principal handicaps. He won impressively in smart time, and again shaped as if the distance of the Dunedin Cup would not be an undue obstacle. His performances since he won the Tradesman's Handicap at the Southland spring meeting have been consistently good, and he must now be ranked among the best handicap horses of his ape produced in Southland. In his last seven starts he has not been out of a place (three wins, two seconds and two thirds), and his stake earnings for the season total £715. KEPT IT A SECRET With the probable idea of keeping his success a secret, but without making any explanation regarding the delay in collecting the money, a man walked into the office of the South Australian Trotting Club towards the end of January and presented a doubles totalisator ticket worth £378 8/6, which had been outstanding for nearly two months. He was paid in cash, but had the money not been collected by» January 29 it would have been paid to the Treasury. The dividend collector still had a few days in his favour. RELATED TO PAPER MONEY High Title, whose success in the OakJeigh Plate caused a demonstration at rlemyigton, won five of his eight races as a two-year-old last season. He is a three-year-old chestnut colt by Duke John (son of Blandford), from Paper Flower a mare by Simon Square from Rhodocelia, which was a full sister to Paper Money, which had much success as a stallion in rMew Zealand. LADY DERBY LEASED Lady Derby, which was raced in the colours of Mrs. A. Edmund Preston, wife of the breeder of the filly, has been leased to Mrs. N. Haigh, and is now being trained by W. J. Evans at Trentham. LICENSE GRANTED F. L. Holmes, a son of Freeman Holmes, jun.. the well-known trotting trainer and driver, has been granted an amateur rider's certificate under the jurisdiction of the Canterbury District Committee.
