Ml Wrighfs. stables at Foxton. It is the latter 9 intention to ■ endeavour to build up tho Conqueror mtire, and then put her in a welter race. Speaking of Wright reminds one that he was -unfortunate enough to bo burned out early this week, and lo»t considerably. Another heavy loser over the tog fire was C. Price, yho had eliects stored in three different places, each of which was burnt down. Judging by the support accorded to Continuance for the Grand National Steeplechase, it would appear that the Gisborne crack is not, after all, to be taken to Sydney. Coupled with Paisano, lie was supported yesterday for a good round sum in doubles, and this some weeks before the nominations aro due to close. Weights for the Hawke's Bay first day events are due to-day, as also aro the adjustments for the Hawke's Bay Hurdles on the second day of the Hastings meeting. Nominations for tho Napier Park Winter meeting close to-night. Quite a large number of jockeys riding nowadays would bo b'etter off in a race were they sent to the post without whips. 11l at least two events at tho Otaki meeting the results would have been different had the riders been content to sit still instead of flailing their mounts a= soon as another horse ran -up to tliem. 11l many instances the whip is brought so clumsily into use that the horses' heads are let loose, and they begin to flounder, the result being that they cut in. A good haiid-and-heel finish is to be preferred to ono in which the whip is used by anyone who is not a master in the way of using it. Scarcely half the horses which took part in tho concluding event at Otaki had any chance. The field was far too largo, but this did not' concern backers much, us tilie majority of them were on Wai Queen, who had drawn No. 2 position from the rails. The favourite ivas not the quickest to begin, but sho was soon in the comfortable position of second in a strung-out field, and, in tho end, won comfortably. The good-looking Palmerston-owned Black Lupin again disappointed an army of backers by his failures at Otaki, but, with time, this money is likely to come back with interest. The ohostnut horse is one of the best-looking and most serviceable horses seen under silk at Otaki, and would take a prize in any show ring. Another perfect competitor Tacing at Otaki was Prosper. Tlus horse is by Advanc€ from a Sou'-Wester mare bred by Mr Donald Fraser, of Bulls. It is claimed fot this mare that she was once ridden from Bulls to Hawera in one day, and made tho return journev on the following day. Sho could jump almost anything, and hei breeder was in tho habit of using her a; his special hack, regarding her as far toe good for racing purposes. He now regard: Prosper as tho exact counterpart of thi; mare, and expects him to do good thingoil tho race tracks. Since being sold to go to South America, Cyllene has been represented by three Derby winners in England. Tho son of Bona Vista, and Arcadia last'sorved in England in' 1908. At that time ho had already been represented by a Derby winner in Cicero, and was standing at a fee of 300 guineas. Ho changed hands on one occasion for .£31,500, but tho American breeder wlio purchased him in 1909 paid JS6OOD less than that. Although A. Julian has won hundreds of races, Saturday's win on Napper is the first occasion ho has steered tho winner oi the Great Northern Hurdles. Los Angelos is the most notable absentee from tho New Zealand Cup nomina tions, \ So far A. J. M'Flinn's assbeiation witl J. Williamson's stable has not been, t luckv ono (says the Auckland "Star") At Wanganui 'he had his first ride in tin ! colours on Hautere, which camo to griel and gavo him ft Shaking which prcvcntec him having the mount on Okaihnu in tin Wanganui Steeplechase and Hautere oi the second day, both winning in tin hands of J. Doerey. Coming to Aucklam he rode Hautere to victory in the Maidoi Steeplechase, and then picked Oknihai as the best of the pair in the Grea Northern Steeplechase, but the setoni string, Hautere. won,. giving J.
