WIN FOR WILD WEST. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Sydney, July 17. Mr. F. Leslie's Wild West (Soult-The Squaw) won the Rosehill Flying Handicap at the Rosehill meeting. NOTES AND COMMENTS. IBv Glencoe.] "Whilst doing a gallop over the big fences yesterday morning, Corazon endeavoured to get off, but failed, and, in jumping tho hencoop at the bottom of Ihe straight, he. came down rather heavily. He walked away quite sound, but his injuries (if any) would not be likely to show themselves until this morninj. Pleiades was responsible for some good schooling work at Trent-ham yesterday morning. Tho half-brother lo Haydn went with Corazon, and outjumped the National favourite at every fence. His display will gain him many friends for the Steeplechase to-morrow, in which he will be ridden by F. Unit. The AVanganui horseman is a pastmaster over country, and, generally, his mounts cover less ground than those of other horsemen.

Paritutu, who promises, to start favourite ill the Wellington Racing Club Steeplechase to-morrow, will bo ridden by W. Young. The aged Castor gelding will be a much-improved horse after his gallop in the Winter Hurdles, as, prior to this race, he had not done any galloping on tho tracks. C. Cochrane will have the mount on Ribstone Pippin in (he big Steeplechase to-morrow- [ Wimincra is to be shipped to Sydney by next Friday's boat, and will go into the stable of H. Rayner at Randwick. Being such a solid hor-t>, the son of Merriweo is sure lo do well at meetings in and around Sydney. Antarctic left Auckland yesterday on his way souih to fulfil his Grand National engagement. The son of Salradan is reported lo be in splendid condition. Another "National" candidate who has already starled on the way south is Ynsiiiak, the Huwkc's Bay Steeplechase winner. Wording to somn nf llie jockeys who rode in 'ho rar<? > N°rth East shifted about considerably at his fences, and it is really a wonder (hat he got round safelv. " At the second fence ho "look off" so far that it seemed certain that he would land on the wrong side, but lie stood up, : thoiieh the battens suffered considerably. His ''National" prospects were not enhanced by Saturday's performance. Much money went to Foxton as tho result of The Rover's victory on Salurdav last. The immediate connections of Ihe Advance gelding are understood to have profited largely over the win. The treble Cup winner will have, lo carry 1N 111b. in tho Grand National Hurdle?'. For about a mile and a half. Windage wis ri«ht "on tho spot" in tin- Winli-r Hurdles, but the fast pace set by North .Fiii-t found a weak spot in Mr. lircen's "elding. Up should do belter in a race over a" shorter course. Tin , l.wo-vear-old track at Kllo.rslio, which has Just been completed, and which it. is considered is the. o<?*t iu New Zealand, cost .S2IOO to construct,

The French jockey G. Stern has now mm the English, French, German, Kalian, and Austrian Derbies. Stern al.-o won tho-English SI. l.eger on Troutlieck. For his recent victory on Sunstar in the English Derby he is said to have received a retainer of .fJUIJO, and to have bei'ii laid ijODU to nothing for a win.

11. Hall's percentage for his Iwo winning rides on Arquebuse at the V.R.C. meeting was .1:2(11, and J. N. M'Gregors ride on Conlido earned him .UI3H. Both juckeys had further sums laid them by Uio stable.

The Reckoning, who was sold by Messrs. W. 1. , . Yiiilln and Co. at Newmarket ieceullv for TiO.i guineas, was purchased by Mr. 'E. Call on behalf of Mr. Whitaker, tlie South Australian owner of Generality. (In the 'iiini' day dial .Tins Reckoning was sold, the New Zealand-bred I'nkau was passed in at 131) guineas, and Cuntarp at 150 guineas.

In discussing the V.R.C. Grand National Steeplechase, a Melbourne writer says: —That Conlidc did so well is attributable to the excellent judgment, with which he was handled by the Zealand rider, .1. N. M'Gregor. Confide is probably a faster horse on the Hat' than Graiuax, and he was getting 3it. 31b. from the Graf ton gelding. Knowing his pace, M'Gregor was content to let Confide get a gcod view cf each of the obstacles, and to take his time in jumping them. He was third last after jumping the stand treble, but made up a lot; of ground along (he racing stretch at the river side.

A cable was received by the Melbourne sportsman, Mr. S. Green, last week to tlio ell'cet that, his agent, in England had purchased at the Newmarket sales the brood mare Temple Hill, a halfsister to Gallcc More and Ard Patrick, by Kendal from Morganette. She has a tilly foal by Eager, and has been served by Count Schomberg.

The result of the Oaks was (according to latest English tiles) just what might reasonably have been anticipated. . Given a iield of twenty-one, without a single public performer" within 14lb. of the first class included in it, and a. "dark" candidate had every chance of scoring.. 'Ihis unknown was forthcoming in Cherimoya, a bay filly by Cherry Tree out of Svelte, who was running for the first time. After the race it transpired that she had been pretty well tried last season, but went amiss almost immediately afterwards, and this was her first appearance in public. She won so easily that she may be really good, though the fact of Tootles being second to her scarcely lends support to this idea. This is tho first really big race that her owner, Mr. W. Brodnek Clocte, has secured since Paradox carried off the Two Thousand Guineas of 1885.
