Lie, had quit-6 a run of bad:luck at Blenheim, for, in addition to' the r misliap Merriwee'mare, 1 he won'a -race with; Wh'atakura, but;-lost tho prize-money ..'and'dividend on accbunt of' the previous owner's lion-compliance. withßulo 2 Part VIII of tho Rules of Racing. Mr. Woolston purchased Whatakura on tho morning of : the second day's , races. The horse was previously hold in--joint ownership,' but unfortunately.' for- - the purchaser' tho joint interest had not been registered. The question was raised 'immediately after tho race, and the stewards, on referring t-o tho rules, came- to the / conclusion that they ' hadno course' open'''other ''than to disqualify the horse. I understand that the owner-is appealing against ■ •t Trainer A. Masters arrived -from Blenheim yesterday. Ho - is anxious to get home to superintend'.tho work of Jackpot arid'Hikail'oa. - Tho former 1 is ■ going'along very nipely, but. it is doubtful whether, lie will stand a thorough preparation. ' * . The Tasma'niari. jockey, M. Dunn, arrived back in Wellington'this week. Ho loaves for the'Ashburton Ineeting on . Monday night. -• In order that..tho.public may always see a good for tho A.J.C. Plato at Randwiok,'.tho Jockey Club, stipulate that if- the .thr&a' miles are not covered in smin. 4oscc. or less, the stake shall bo reduced by onehalf: .In tho race-Avon by Poseidon at Easter time,'tho time limit was exceeded, and in consequence the club only.paid over 500 soys, instead :of-.1000 sots'.. . ' ' Bobrikofl: has 'enjoyed a big ..reputation since--tho spring,_ arid there were' numerous excuses: for his failure in- the Railway Handicap at Ellerslie on-Boxing, Day: His defeat -in the Porangahau .'Handicap on Thursday woiild.:loso, him some; admirers,/ but'-his victory in the Hawke's. Bay. Stakes, yesterday makes it" appear as if ho was short of a final gallop tho .previous day, and thus ho would bo sharpened iip by.-.the race. So it frequently. happens that horses: prone; to sorenoss are given light', preparations,, and if the going- on the racing-track is riot harsh they improve out of all knßwledge with a little racing. • ■ -'. ; ■ There probnbly exists a diversity of opinion as to the merit iof Bobrikoff's victory, and the fact that a moderate performer like King Post should finish scconcl to "the winner, makes the opposition look weak. Gold Crest', 9st. 131b., had a lot of weight, and may be a trifle off colour/after all the racing ho has done. Still in-a handicap race he would have been asked to , concede more weight to '.Boljrikoff. All Red lias shown no exceptional brilliancy up till tlio present!, and Aborigine, the best of.tho two-year-olds, Was only receiving 21b., and would find the distance somewhat' far. ' Against this it must lio'considered that Bobrikoff ran a good third in.the Hawke's Bay Guineas in October after getting tlio worst of'the start. • He boat All Red on that occasion when in receipt of 51b., and now beats him again in receipt of 131b. King Post has plenty of pace, but keeps very poor in condition. -If Gold Crest was in- proper form yesterday the Sea'ton Delaval . gelding must have rim tlio raco of his life, for at Trentham last week he was beaten among tho hack division. . > Commander's braco' of seconds at Hastings Was a .repetition of tlio form he showed at Awapuni a month ago, when lie wns beaten each day by Showman. 1 Kaironia was made a very hot favourite for tho Burko Memorial, backers arguing that after his, running in'tho Cup lie would Bo better suitbd by tho shorter, journey. The argument proved correct, and tho Birkenhead

gelding turned tlio tables on Grand Slam, who hail to bo fcontent with second. The chestnut son of Possible tilled this'position ill the i>rineipiil event ' at AVaipiiUuran,, on Master Monday, and on. each day of the Hawkc's Bay meeting. '' '■ Sir. P. A. Connolly gave Gregory Ross £500 for riding Dyed Garments to victory in tho Sydney Cup. \.. At tlio yearling sales in Sydney a yearling from a, maro called Chutney was purchased by a Mr. Currio. . , The application of the Marton Jockey Club for a second totalisatir permit has been referred to a sub-committce by the Wangamii Metropolitan body. • . Extensivo . improvements have been carriixl out to tho Marton racecourso and appointments. Tho principal item of expenditure is for tho now grandstand. The course should' bo in splendid order for tho next meeting. '
