Other races which would suit Dalray at this meeting are the A.J.C; St. Leger on the first day, the Cumberland Stakes, one mile and threequarters on the third day, and the A.J.C. Plate, two miles and a quarter on the concluding day. The Cumberland Stakes and the A.J.C. Plate are run under standard weight-for-age conditions. Dalray was taken north on his wav to Trentham last evening by his Riccarton trainer, C. C. McCarthy, and accompanying him were his two-year-old brother and Trench Fray, an acceptor for the Thompson Handicap on the first day of the Wellington meeting. Dalray’s brother is being taken on the trip for experience. Also in McCarthy’s care on the trip was Modern Times, which is trained by J. Smith for Mr W. R. Toon.

Clouston, ran in the Parkinson Hack Handicap at Motukarara on Saturday. Gay Admiral did better of the two. finishing fifth. Convair at his last start ran Major Neptune to a nose tn the Middle Park Plate at Riccarton on February 2. Twenty-three South Island horses with engagements at Trentham are booked to go north to-night. They include Entrancing and Field Chief, impressive winners of the principal events at the Banks Peninsula meeting on Saturday. . Field Chief, one of A. E. Didham's Wingatui team, will be accompanied by his stable-mates, Mr Speaker and Redlo Redlo won the Allanton Hurdles on the second day of the autumn meeting at Wingatui on Saturday.

Gardez finished well back in the distance hack race, after being with the leaders to the half mile. On the second day of the meeting on Saturday, the Booby Trap three-year-old ran in the Mosgiel Handicap, seven furlongs, and outclassed his opponents. He streaked righi away from the others, to win by six lengths from Plausible, the hack sprint winner on the first day. Sad Sonntag Palls The favourite. Sad Sonntag, fell in tne March Handicap at Wingatui on Saturday His jockey, L. W. Hare, said that the horse was hanging out badly and when another horse vent past him Sad Sonntag went out towards him and clipped his heels. Hare said that there was no interference and that the fall was caused by his mount hanging out Hare was badly shaken and did not ride for the rest of the day. Gay Revel tripped over Hare and lost his rider. E. G. Low. Fit for Trentham Red Jester gave an outstanding Trentham trial when he won the Waimana Handicap, the open sprint at Masterton on Saturday. He showed too mueh class for his opponents, dashing to the front inside the last furlong -and drawing out to

win very easily by two lengths and a half from Ina’s Star/ which beat Jimmy Wilde by half a head. Red Jester, winner of the Canterbury Cup at Rlccarton last November, Is a double acceptor at Trentham on Saturday. He is one of six three-year-olds in the North Island Challenge Stakes and he is also engaged in the Thompson Handicap, in which he appears to be handily placed with 8-1 and the No. 4 barrier position. Dan’s Good Record Instinctive, impressive winner of a division of the Bradley Stakes at Motukarara on Saturday, is the last of the produce of the Polazel mare Polydora and he is probably the best. Polydora died in 1947. the year Instinctive was foaled. Polydora did most of her racing in the early thirties, when stakes were low. She was a four-year-old when she started racing, and during that season she built up a good record, racing 17 times for seven wins and as many seconds. She won her last hack race carrying 10-2. and she made a winning debut in open company at Oamaru, finishing the season by winning the Brabazon Handicap at the Christchurch Hunt Club's meeting at Riccarton. Polydora raced only four times as a five-year-old and won the Kurow Cup and the Ranfurly Handicap at Wingatul. During the .next two seasons she won three hurdle races, two of them at Riccarton, and in her last season she won a hack and hunters' steeplechase at Oamaru. Altogether she won 15 races for Mr Godfrey HaH. Instinctive’s breeder. Polydora was trained at Rlccarton by H. Nurse, who h a Instinctive in his stable. Sun Chief Bargain Hone Sun Chief, making his last appearance in a hack race, outclassed his opponents in the Parkinson Hack Handicap at Motukarara on Saturday. It was his third sucf e * s -- a .“ d 11 advanced his stake winnings to £740. That has been a good return for the 260gns paid for him by Mr G. J. Mackie as a yearling. Bred at the Inglewood Stud by Mr Ken Austin, Sun Chief is a three-year-old bay gelding by Sun King from Enchant, a winner in Australia and a descendant of the great producing mare, Teppo. Sun Chief’s granddam, Cyden. won the AJ.C. Sires' Produce Stakes, the V.R.C. Mimosa Stakes, and the Ascot Vale Stakes, and her sister.
