The American-bred trotter The Triumph is wintering well at Wildit ood Farm, whero he "will be at the service of breeders next season. Th 0 three-year-old colt Nelson Fame collapsed suddenly in the horse-box prior io tho start of tiio special horse train from Ashburton to Christchurch on Saturday. With some difficulty he wns removed from.the box and left at Ashburton, where he was treated by a veterinary surgeon. Tho pacer Escort was sold last week and the Australian-bred gelding ha 3 left P. Riddle's stable. A Press Association telegram from Auckland states that Savory was scratched for the Orakei Hurdles on the third day of the Auckland Racing Club's Winter Meeting, at 10.15 a.m. yesterdav. Tho trainers of Cold Steel, Savory, Rehutai, and Lochson are not waiting for -,the oanclusion of tho meeting on Wednesday, and left _ by steamer for New Plymouth last night. Alaric and Santonio proceeded home by the Main Trunk express on Sunday night. A coujje of promising hurdlers were seen out, at Otaki in Admiral Codrington and Solfanello, says the "Dominion." On Wednesday Solfanello was responsible for an attractive performance. He was inclined to bo careful at his jumps, and he drifted a fair wav back by the time the race was half over. He came well over the concluding stages, and his form was encouraging, considering it was his first public attempt. Admiral Codrington is a very good jumper, who loses -neither tijne nor ground at his fences. J. Roach has sufficiently recovered from his fall off Royal Fame at Wanganui to be able to leave hospital, and he returned to Auckland on Sunday. Gala Day, a winner at the A.R.C. Meeting, is a three-year-old brother to Boomerday. Gala Day raced once last season as a two-vear-old, but was unsuccessful, and his win last week was his first after a fair apiount of experience this season. C. Emerson, as the result of riding' five winners and two dead-heaters at the Dunedin Jockey Club's Winter Meeting last week, has brought his total up to that of M. McCarten, both having ridden 46 winners so far this season. McCarten's score was brought up to the figure given by two wins on the second day at the Otaki-Maori Meeting last week. ' A Dunedin telegram states that McKay, the jockey who was injured on Saturday, is still on the dangerously ill list. On Saturday night Mr W. F. James, •who is t leaving shortly on a trip to America, was entertained by the totalizator staff (says the '' Otago Daily Time's"). In proposing the principal toast of the evening, Mr G. Wilhelmsfra said he was sure he was' voicing •the opinion of all those present when ho said that no one could wish for a better employer than Mr James. Ho Jcnew how to handle men, .and got the beat out of them through courtesy and Jkindness. He asked hi 3. acceptance of a travelling bag, ana travelling rugs for Mrs James and Miss James. lb. returning thanks for the gifts, Mr James said he fully appreciated the loyalty of his staff, and hoped to meet them all again on his in time for the Dunedin spring meeting in October. . Omahu, who ran second in tho Great Northern Steeplechase last week, occupied a similar position in the eatt© race in 1921 and 1922. In the former year he alap finished second in the Great Northern Hurdle Race.
