I Winning Trainers and Eiders. | At the conclusion of last week's racj ing the list of winning trainers in New I Zealand was headed by H. and A. Cutts | with 17 wins and G. W. B. Greene and [ D. P. Wilson followed with 15 each. I Then camo F. Shaw 13, L. G. Morris I 12, A. Cook 12, G. Murray-Aynsley 12, j R, S. Bagby 11, J. L. Gray 11, B. Barlow 11, J. W. Nixon 11, F. Tilley 10, J. Hoey 10, A. E. Neale 10, and J. O'Neill 10. K. Voitre , last week increased his total to 65, and L. J. Ellis is next on the list wtih 38, the pair being followed by A. Eastwood 31, B. H. Morris 27, P. Atkins 23, L. G. Morris 23, M. Kirwan 22, L. "Dulieu 17, O. Mclnally 17, 33. A. Rawing 17, W. J. McDowell 17, B. Boed 16, D. O'Connor 16, and I. Callahan 16. • I Off Duty. Mr P. D. McNab, caretaker and starter at Bicearton, had a fall while trimming a hedge on Wednesday and sprained an ankle. T. D. Jones's Stable. F. D. Jones has reeommissioned Topthorn, who has furnished into a big thrce-ycar-old. Topthorn's older«brother, Bclroir, who was operated on for wind trouble, failed to train on, and has been definitely retired from racing. Jones has this week commenced to handle two of British Empire's first productions, a | gelding from Zaragoza and a gelding | from Windshield, dam of Shatter. Both ] are well grown, and show promise. Wot Yet Dons With. Fast Passage is again a daily visitor to the tracks. She put on a lot of condition daring her spell and is in excellent order to undergo another preparation. It will be a few weeks yet, however, before she will be asked to do fast work. Matter of Principle. In referring to the appeal of A. E. Ellis to the Now Zealand Racing Conference "Carbine," in the "New Zealand Beferoc," says: Ellis realises that a considerable portion of tho month will , have expired boforo the appeal is dealt with, but he feels that a mistake has been inude in punishing him, and he wants the black mark removed from his record. Ellis is one of the most respected horsemen in the land, and the result of his effort to clear himself will be awaited with interest. High Credentials. The five-year-old brother to Lord ; Ranald, in J. B. Pearson's charge, is ■ shaping satisfactorily and as ho. had dono a good deal of hard workVas a | " hack before coming to Bicearton he will npt requiro much to get him ready ' .to race. He resembles his brilliant relative in both looks and action, and is to" bo a natural jumper. Yesterday, in company with Night Flyer, he was given a half-mile sprint on the 'plough and although beaten, his display was encouraging provided he goes ■on in tho right way ho will bo an interesting addition to the schooling ranks at Bicearton. It is possible, too, that Lord Banald, who has been doing duty | as a back and is stated to be quite 1 sound, will be again sent to T. IT. Gili lett to be prepared for winter racing. Names of Juveniles, ■I The yearling half-brother by Night Said to Bed Manfred, bred at the HoroJrata Stud, had tho name of Conquistador Claimed Cor him, but this has since been changed Lo Hands Up. Other youngsters from Hororata, a filly by Tea Tray -from Scrip, has been named Hororata. jwd a (illy by Night Raid from Gay Bound will be known as Meyrick. ; The two-yoar-old filly in O. Emerson's istnblc, by Silverado from Tuahine, owned by Mr I). O. Butherford, has ibeen named Tuirau, and *her younger i jiister by Philamor, has had Phillida j selected for her. j At Agua. Caliente. j The acceptances taken for the Phar ; £ap Memorial Handicap, staged by the • Agua Caliente Jockey Club, and to take I Jplaee on Sunday, number 21, and it ' would appear that the inaugural event which is over a distance of nine fur-' j longs, will be extremely popular. It is ■ a trial event for tho more valuable one, the Agua Caliente Handicap, to bo run i four weeks later. Pillow Fight and ! others engaged in the mile and a quarter race are included in the entry for j the race on Sunday. !Aa Unlucky Move. i , Last month B. Johnson, who had Haul- ! bowline on lease, took him to Trentham I and backed him to win the five furlong J yaco with which the Wellington sumi sner meeting concluded. So disgusted j was he with the gelding's showing that j fee did not take him to New Plymouth, j but dropped him at Palmerston North S for his owner, G. Now, to take over

LATEST NEWS FROM FAR AND NEAR

again. Haulbowline's first start after rejoining New's team was in the Petrc Hack Handicap at Wanganui. Haulbowline went to the front at tho rise of the barrier, won running away, and paid a double-figure dividend. An Outstanding Owner. Tho death occurred recently of that fine sportsman and famous breeder of ! thoroughbred' stock, Lord Wavertrce, I long known as Colonel Hall-Walker. He gave his entire stud of thirty high-class thoroughbred mares, foals, racing stock, and two excellent racehorses and sires in White Eagle and Koyal Realm, valuod at £74,000, to the British Government in 1916. This became known as the National Stud. To enumerate all the ' l great horses bred by Lord Wavcrtreo would take up a lot of space. Prince Palatine, winner of £36,354,' and sold for £40,000, was the outstanding winner, and Minoru, Two Thousand Guineas i and Derby, Night Hawk, winner of the St. Lcger, Cherry Lass, One Thousand Guineas and Oaks, are others he bred. Lord Wavertrce was earlier in his career a noted horseman, and rode in more than 300 races—and won more than 27 on the fiat, over : hurdles, and steeplechase fonces, in addition to contests under Polo and Fony Racing Rules. When 57 years old, he was still riding under National Hunt Club rules. He owned The Soarer, who won the Liverpool Grand National of 189(5. Among horses he bred at his famous stud was Penury, who left us a good mare in Lady Penury, and a number of useful jumpers. Tor Melbourne. Dr. W. C. Sing's two-year-old Weatherwisc, who has three successive wins to his credit, is to do somo racing lin Australia, and is to be shipped to I Melbourno this week. He is to make the trip under the care of J. L. Gray, 1 but on arrival in Melbourno will go into the charge of Lou Robertson, who has trained many good winners for Mr Sol Green. Weatherwise is a good colt, and i although he has no classic engagements in the autumn in Melbourne Robertson ! should be able to place him successfully, unless ho is over-weighted. J. L. Gray is likely to take one or two other horses on the trip, and will remain in Melbourno with them. One of the'number will probably be the two-year-old Rereatu. , . Weatherwise is by Weathervano from Sennight by Day Comet from Week End, dam of Economist, Evening, and Pillow Fight. He was bred at the Hororata stud, and was sold at Trentham by Mr H. M. Reeves to Dr. King for 100 guineas. Unfortunate Amount Gaine Carrington's owner, Mr J. A. Phillips, has reason to regret the fact that the colt won the Sydney Tattersail's Chelmsford Stakes at Randwick last September, aays the Melbourne "Argus." Sweepstakes took tho value of that Tace, to tho winner to £527, so by £27 Gaine Carrington became liable to a penalty of 71b for the 0. F. Orr Stakes, decided on February 11. And that 71b-may have made the difference between victory and defeat. Gaine Carrington was favourite for the race, but ho could not go the early pace, and was near tho rear of the field most of the way. From tho home turn, however, he made up ground in great style, and, obtaining a run on the inside, of Chatham in the straight, ho went on to dead-heat with that horse for second place behind Liberal. Unfortunately for his owner, Gaine Carrington is liable for a- penalty of 101b in the V.A.T.C, St. George Stakes through the extra £27. Top Hole, another three-year-old, was rather disappointing in the C. F. Orr Stakes. He was in a fair position all tho. way, but failed to run on in the straight. Australian Results. At Hobart on February 11 the George Adams Handicap, of nine furlongs, was won by the brown gelding Aslo, four years, by Arausio—Matty.' Ho carried 7-7, and won by a head, starting at | double figures. Aslo was bred by Mr F. Ormond, and is a half-brother to Millaiu, and a brother to Henry of Navarre. . At Moonee Valley on February 15 the Magdola Welter, six furlongs, was won by tho aged gelding Great Thought (Solfcrino—Raid). Great Thought is a brother to Eansack, Pillage, and Bloodshed (the dam of Lordly Knight). He was bred by Mr A. F. Roborts. TROTTING NOTES. Reminders.

Another Trial. Rustle, an aged gelding by Nelson Bingen from a mare by Jingle—Lluvia de Oro, is now a regular attendant at Addington, whero ho is being trained by D. Bennett. Rustic, who was recently sold by Mr W. Connelly, lys breeder, at a very low figure, was not raced last season, and faced the starter only twice during the previous term. His last placed performance was when ho filled second place to Great Nelson at Oamaru on Labour Day, 1920. Gore Winners. Mocast and Sure, winners of the trotting events at tho Goro Racing Club's meeting on Wednesday, are both four-yeaJr-olds. The former is a gelding by Peter Moko from Outcast, and Sure is a mare by Peter Chenault, whose stock has been racing well lately, from Our Nurse, the dam of Probationer, who will make her first appearance in Canterbury at the New Brighton meeting on Saturday. Fast Track at Addington. Track conditions at Addington yesterday morning were all that could bo desired, but few horses were sent seriously against the watch, Indianapolis and Mountain Dell, who recorded a most striking performance, being the exceptions. Well Within Their Compass. J. Young has Eaawah and John Jinks looking in grand order at present, and if appearances count, the pair should race with prominence at New Brighton on Saturday. Their task was a mile, which was accomplished easily in 2min ISaec,

In Saturday's Saddle Event. Plying Cloud, going without the hopples, was given strong work over two miles. It is likely that she will be ridden on Saturday by G. Murfitt, who was narrowly beaten when riding her in the saddle race at the Mcthven meeting last October, Gay Gordon winning on that occasion. A Bold Worker. Beginning from the mile post, Pronto Bingen and Aristotle showed the way to Muriel de Oro, but Pronto Bingen was eased up at the end of a circuit, the paee up to this stage not having been applied. Prom then on and to the termination of a mile and a quarter the speed was increased, and the distance was covered in 2min 50see, after the first mile had taken 2min 18 2-sscc. Aristotle moved very attractively, and if he would reproduce his track form in a race he would not be long in making a return. Desert Maiden, Matchmaker, and 80110 Lorrimcr were associated in a spin over two miles, there being little between the first-named pair and Colorado (who had joined in for tho final mile and a half) at the end of the journey, which was covered in 4min 39sec. Belle Lorrimer, who finished abaut a length away, registered 3miu 26 3-sscc for the last 12 furlongs. | Brilliant Work. 1 Mountain Dell started off in front of Indianapolis from the mile and a quarter peg, and she continued to lead the three-year-old until the run to the post was commenced, when the colt gradually drew up to her, being about half a length to the bad at the finish, the last mile having taken him 2min 10 2-ssec. It was an excellent effort on the part of both horses, especially of Indianapolis, as they were nearer the 1 outside than the inside fence all tho way. Neither was showing signs of distress over tho final furlong, and there does not seem any doubt about Indianapolis running out a very smart two miles at his first attempt over that distance on Saturday. V. Alborn sent Linkman over a mile in 2min 16sec, and Somerby took 2min 14 2-ssec for the same distance. The same trainer has Vesuvius standing up to hia work quite satisfactorily so far, but when his tasks are of a more severe nature a better indication will be given as to tho prospects of his standing up to a solid preparation. J. J. Konnerley's pair, Rare Pronto and Peter Junior, wore companions over a mile and a quarter in 2min 53 2-ssec. Useful Efforts. Vesta Bey went away from the mile and a half post about a second in front of Checkers, who was a similar distance in front of tho Hey do Oro—lmperial Pointer maiden, and he continued to show the way for more than a mile and a quarter, at which stage Checkers drew up to him. The Bey do Oro gelding ww» beaten off, Vesta Bey's time for ti j distance being a tick better than 3min • 26sec, after the first mile had taken 2min 18sec. Although Checkers has not raced for a considerable time his track form of late suggests that he is not far from his best. Under Bestraiat, Denver City (harness) and Great Thought (saddle) kept together during a bout over a mile and a quartet-, in which neither was asked for an effort, the distance being left behind in 3min, the last mile taking 2min 23sec. The pair were wide out. WOODVILLE J.C. BRAMBLBTORN WINS HANDICAP. (rRISS ASSOCIITIOH TSLKGSAif.) WOODVILLE, February 23. The Woodville Jockey Club concluded a successful autumn meeting in perfect weather. The track was In good order, and there was a large attendance.
