Extra Permit “There seems to be something wrong with the control of racing in New Zealand when those in power can offer an extra permit to a track like that at Geraldine in preference to restoring the lost day at mid-summer to the Canterbury Jockey Club,” writes “Sentinel” in the “Otago Daily Times.” Suspension Stands J. Mclnally’s appeal against his suspension of two months by the Franklin Racing Club was not upheld. The Auckland District Committee heard the appeal on May 25, and decided to refer the case back to the club for a rehearing. The club’s committee decided that it saw no reason to alter its decision. so that the suspension stands. South Island Breeding A candidate in* the Broadway Hack Handicap at Manawatu last week was Merry Thought, a three-year-old filly who bore the colours of Mr L H. Collinson, president of the Manawatu Racing Club. Although she failed to gain a place, the filly made quite a creditable showing. By Night Raid from Nightmare, the latter being by Shambles from the imported mare Skydream, Merry Thought has staying blood in her veins, and with greater age and racing experience she should do well for her owner-breeder. Australian Yearlings The Trentham trainer H. B. Lorigan has received three of the yearlings who were sold at the Sydney Easter sales. They are at present being broken in, and will in due course be raced in the Dominion. One of them is a chestnut filly by Excitement (son of Hurry On) from the Spelthome mare Ritual, whose granddam (Queen Battery) was full-

sister to the Melbourne Cup winner Artilleryman, and she will be raced by Mr .Quentin Donald, jun., the former All Black hooker. Another is a bay colt by Chatham (son of Windbag) from the imported Roi Herode mare Gunhild, dam of Florida and the Australian Salt’ Spray, both winners of several races, and he will carry the colours of Mr J. Fearon, »of Wellington, who has raced Twenty Grand this season. The third is a bay colt by Doric (son of Tracery) from the imported Somme Kiss mare Sister Vamp, thus being a brother to Dromos. a good winner, and he has been sent over by J. T. Jamieson, though he will probably be resold here before racing. TROTTING NOTES Bracketed Horses Bracketed horses at Ashburton on Monday will be as follows: Longbeach Handicap—Hamel .Bey and Thor.

A Two-year-old Bed Hock, engaged in the New Zealand Sapling Stakes, is a bay filly by Nelson Derby—Athelney Lass, and is trained by the owner, Mr H- Hewson. She is regarded as a smart filly and may be a serious contender for the classic race. Zingarri Zingarri has not lived up to the good reputation he earned in the Timaru Nursery Stakes, for in that event, under difficulties, he ran a good race, and finished well. Zingarri is a much better horse than most followers of trotting imagine, and it would not surprise to find him leading the -field home at the finish of the New Zealand Sapling Stakes.
