Kindergarten i- engaged in the North Island Challenge Stakes on Saturday, and looks as well to-day as ever he looked at nnv previous stage of his I'lreer. He was ridden on Tuesday morning by B. Burgess, and galloped live furlongs in smart time, and I-hough be has not raced since October ,'c will strip a fp horse this week. As Foreign Coin is no; to run in the Challenge' Stakes. P.

Two races later Neale won the Flying Handicap with Black Robe, and later still Talenta. trained by him. ran second in the Cup. Looks Likely Battledress will bo one of the favourites for the Autumn "Handicap at Trentham. The three-year-old finished a very close second in the Wellington Cup (Two milesi and probably would have boon a winner at a mile and three furlongs ithe Autumn Handican distance).

TROTTING NOTES

'I imam Nursery Stakes After declaration c. f final forfeits 2d well-bred two-year-olds remain in the Timaru Nursery Stakes, but it is evident that several have been left in because their owners did not realise that the conditions' of the race are under the forfeit, and not the payment, system. R. B Berry will have two racing in his own name in the bay filly. Air Speed, bv Jack Potts-Swift Pointer, and the chestnut gelding, Lucky Gem, by Jack Potts—Sea Pearl, while a third in this trainer’s care is Mr G. Lancaster's filly, Free Again, by Jack Potts—Free Advice. Two from Roydon Lodge have been paid up for in the name of G. B. Noble. They are the bay filly. Abbey Volo, ty Abbedale —Widow Volo, and Nola Scott, by U, Scott—Grattan Lass. The remainder comprise: V. Alborn's Handmaid. by Sandydale—Midshipmaid: D. Bennett's Pocket Book, by Gold Paper—Nancy Bingen, and an unnamed filly, by Gold Paper Amy Audubon; Mrs S. Bourncr'.s br e Gold Sheik, by Sandydale—Mary dc Oro; C.

S, T Webster's Final Fancy, by Nelson Derby—Sally Audubon: and D Kimber's unnamed colt by Lusty VoloPauline Dillon. Death of a Champion The death of Certissimus will be received bv every lover of a good racehorse with regret, and sympathy will go to the owner and trainer. Certissinnis had become an idol of the racing public, and his appearance at a meetiwas a certain draw card. Few ,-l”l!ions have shown the docility and ;hc racing temperament of this chestnut colt, and while he hud been sorely tried in several races his driver. D. Teahen, had never used the whip to punish him. Certissimus knew what was required of him, and he and his trainer-driver had a perfect undeistanding. U is a coincidence that Kawhaki. possibly the fastest thiee-vear-old trotter before the advent of Certissimus. also met an early dealn. He was trained by A. G. Wilson and, foaled in 1921, was by Nfl*™ from Runaway, by Rothschild—Vanc if'h. He only won one race—the New Zealand Trotting Stakes—but he had shown exceptional speed m his private trials. Transfer of Classic Race The New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club has accepted the offer () r the Ashburton Club to lake over the New Zealand Futurity Stakes, and this will be decided at the club’s first autumn meeting to be held at Addington on April L FKANKI.IN HACKS DIVISIONS IN BOMBAY handicap (PA , AUCKLAND.
