The progeny of All Red, who is now ,j' doing stud duty at Hunterville, wen i ( . very successful during tho Tapauu: Ig meeting, when Rcdown, Hot Air, anc ,j Placid all won races. |y R. Reed remained behind after the "; Elldrslie meeting to ride at Whangarei, but ho did not succeed in steering a .„ winner. The apprentice (D.

The Mystiiica1, tion gelding looks well, and will take hie c, place in the Hack Weltor on the openy ing day nt Trentham. His owner (Mr. ; F. Armstrong) is just back from Samoa, .; and unless he is called away he wall bo t. present on the opening day at Trent. t'ham. '• Bimeter is still inclined to be waj--s- ward on the track, and unless a littlo t. force is used he will stick up his rider. '> Yestorday his trainer had to go to the post and' give the black horse a toncu >■ with the stock-whip to make him do i- Tiis work properly. ; B. Deeley is spoken of as the rider of ; Rangitero in the Wellington Cup. .' It looks as if G.

He will be ridden by L. - Al'Randell. ; Though she has been off the tracks for ; a .considerable time, Miss De Val is • galloping well |at Trentham, and on • Saturday she ran a bettor gallop from ■ a time point of view than did Chalc- ; wana and Ayah, Chakwana is not a ! good track worker, and will probably do a lot bettor with the colours up. Tho New Zealand-owned Three (Wel- ■ kin—Teppo) lias been nominated for the I Oatsleigh Plate Jand Newmarket Handi- ' cap, to bo run in the autumn. Latest '■ reports state that Mr. T.
