GLOAMING DEFEATED AT CHRISTCHURCH

NOTES AND COMMENTS

(By

“The Watcher.")

Acceptances for the meeting to bo held at Trentham on Saturdav next will close to-night at 9 o’clock. The railway strike has caught owners and trainers with their horses pretty widely distributed throughout the country, and in some cases a long way from home. It is likely to affect very adversely the meeting to he held on Saturday at Trentham. and if it lasts any length of time will be a big set hack to the clubs holding meetings in th?j near future. During the last railway strike, and even on occasions when the railways could be made use of, some trainers took their horses to meetings by motor lorrv_. Taranaki trainers have utilised lomes for district meetings to some extent. This means of transport is well spoken of, and may be utilised during the course of the present strike. In former times also horses used to walk distances to meetings, and it is possible some may keep their engagements in that way. If those who have been caught away from home have to stay for any length of time, it will be a costly business.

R. Hunt had a good innings at Easter, winning two races on the first day at Feilding, and three on Monday at Waipukurau. Country Lite did not last long as a hurdler. She broke a fetlock, ,at the last fence the first day. at Feilding and had to ’ot destroyed. She was a six-year-old chestnut mare by Guianforto—Country Picnic.

In the Taonui hack race at Feilding on Saturday the electric totalisator stuck after £673 had been rung on, and no more money was accepted. It is said that the connections .of Sensible, who won, were left without a penny on her. Loughrea got a mixed reception from th© crowd at l lliverton after winning the cup there on Saturday from Master Sai dstone. 'The latter beat him at Invercargill. The Riverton handicapper asked Noble to carry list. 131 b. in the steeplechase at Riverton, as against Pamplona, list. 61t>. Noble broke down in the race, but few would pick him to beat the other horse even with the weights reversed.

Mr. U. Elgar has a promising-two-year-old Agitato. He has ]ust come right at the end of the season, and was rather unlucky the first day at Tauherenikau, being unable to get round the turn. Wellington next Saturday will be his last opportunity of the season.

Some Red was unable to go at any either dav at Tauherenikau, and" soon tailed off. He made every stride an effort, and is a different horse from what he was a few weeks ago. Merry Day’s form the second day at Tauherenikau was a long way below what she showed the first day. She had only nine pounds more; the race was about a furlong shorter, and she should have done better than to finish with only one behind her out ot eight runners. ,

Good jockeys were scarce at some of the Easter meetings, and more than one race was absolutely thrown away. The inexperienced apprentices were not alone in this respect. The way Spoony was ridden on Monday at Tauherenikau was an object-lesson in how not to do it. Printemps got into all the trouble that was going in the big race at Tauherenikau on Monday, and he would have made it much harder for Little River with a decent run. Lady Ben was another who received a bad passage. This mare looks well, and in good order for racing during the winter.

In Subjection Mr. W. E. Bidwill has fi likely Derby colt, and one capable of great improvement. He is still a bit on the small side, but is a typical Martian and a game one too, as his finishing effort on Monday proved. His rider could not have made more use of him had he been on Gloaming, yet he stayed on well, which he had not done earlier in the season.

At the top of the straight in the Settlers’ Hack Handicap at TauhereInikau on Monday, Silk Rein looked a likely winner, but she faded out over the last bit. She may pick up a stake poon. Hawke’s Bay reports state that all is not well with Tari, whojs likely to be off the scene for some time. The success of Parody in the Great Northern Oakc would in some measure console Mr. G. Currie for the defeat of Motley in the Champagne Stakes. The fact that she was by Absurd prejudiced some people against her for a mile and a half journey, but she had shown in the Oaks at Riccarton that she was able to run out a journey. She may not be a genuine stayer, but she possesses great pace and brilliance, and she may prove a not unworthy successor to Gloaming. Her win was Mr. Greenwood’s first success in the fillies’ race at Ellerslie. The “Herald” states that Nigger Minstrel showed great brilliance in the race for the Great Northern Champagne Stakes, and he had Motley beaten as soon as he reached her. He simply bounded alon<j nearing the post, and he looks likely to turn out a worthy brother to the great Desert Gold. Mr. Lowry was present to see his colt win, and lie was the seventh winner of the race trained by F. Davis. The surprise of the Great Northern Oaks was the forward running of Whetuni, who failed in hack races both at Trentham and Awapuni just recently.

Sir Pam was galloped on at Feilding on Monday, and as a result may need a spell. Puwhero is a fine jumper,, and at Bulls showed that with a little experience he might develop into a. useful horse over the sticks. His win at Feilding on Monday was a very comfortable one, and he jumped splendidly the whole way. Further, he ran 2min- 44sec. for the mile and a half, which is a course record. At present that is his best distance, but ho will no doubt run on later in the season. He is a five-year-old gelding by All Red out of a Torpedo mare. There were some great finislies at Feildinrr on Monday. The handicapping for the second day was done by Mr. W. Russell for Mr. Henrys, who was attending the meeting at Riccar-

Mnstard Pot, like Mark Twain, was not long in proving that the report of his death was greatly exaggerated. He won at Ellerslie on Monday fairly comfortabl”. and considering that he has been showing unmistakable signs recently of a return to form ho paid a nice prtca.

Otaura ran on surprisingly well at the end of a mile at Tauherenikau on Monday. He had his first rare on Saturdav and the improvement was a revelation, as he has not been truetied in his preparation. It looks as if he might turn out above ths ordinary. Ho was very barrier-shy, however, aad it was mt a good meeting fcr an mexperionood horso-

Peneus is showing a return to form. Tie was a bit unlucky on Saturday, and although he was never threatening danger on Monday, he should be worth keeping in mind for events in the near future. I Happy Days alwavs arrives on the scene too late. Tailing off in the early stages of his races, he goes (faster than anything at the finish and he seems to be the type of horse peculiarly suited by welter weights. In any other class of event he is beaten by the early pace, and under the higher scale there is an absence of bustling at the start which enables him to become balanced while it also gives an opportunity for a heavier and more experienced rider. The new owners of Tarleton noid a good price for the Nassau gelding, but at the time of his sale it was remarked that he would most likely be a gcod investment. They have not waited long for a return on their 1050gns. with every prospect of further stakes. At the same sale Starland was passed in at 300gns., and it makes one wonder what constitutes judgment amongst buyers round the sale ring. In this connection the remarks of the famous English trainer, P. P. Gil piu, are to the point. He likens buyers round the sale ring to a flock of sheep. Plenty of people will bid freely, he says, if they see somebody else bidding in whose judgment they place reliance, or who is known to be a good judge.* They want somebody to lead them, or someone to jog their elbow. Some will bid for a horse that they think is sure to race well on account of its breeding; sometimes they fancy an animal because of its likeness to some other horse that has been doing well. Others you will see who never bid for an animal until the bidding has gone into the thousands, and they will then join in and bid till further orders. I have one person in mind whom I have often seen act in this wise, and rarely has he bought a good racehorse. At some of the Easter meetings it was very noticeable that many of the number cloths in use were very much the worse for wear, while some were so faded as to be hardly discernable even at a short distance. A. jockey presenting a set of faded, worn or dirty colours at the , scales, is promptly called to attention, yet racing clubs are allowed to continue to use saddle cloths that should liave been in the rag-bag long ago. Number cloths are an important feature of racing from the public point of view, and the matter should receive official attention. Returned visitors from England and the Continent have remarked upon the very large size of the cloths and numbers as compared with those in use here, and in replacing worn out cloths much larger ones should be substituted. One of the greatest sensations of the season occurred at Riccarton yesterday, when Razzle Dazzle defeated Gloaming in the Thirty-second Challenge Stakes. The Press Association message states that the champion was left six lengths, but it does not explain how it happened, and it seems an extraordinary thing that in a threehorse race such a wonderful beginner should have lost so much ground- Nevertheless, the performance of the winner was a great one. The time, Imin. 24 2-ssec.. breaks the Australasian record for the distance by l-10sec., the old one being held by Remmon at Randwick. No doubt when Waddell found that Gloaming had not got away well ’he lost no time in reaching the post, and the race up the straight would be one which those who witnessed it will never forget. What, marvellous time Gloaming must have run. He must have been going at a phenomenal pace to got with a neck of the winner. It is quite evident that he. was not beaten on his merits, and it fully emphasises the glorious uncertainty of racing. Gloaming gets £2OO for second place, which brings his winnings up to £34,766, so he is still £2054 short of Eurythmic’s record total. As yesterday’s race is his last appearance for the season it is improbable that he will last long enough to make up the deficiency. Nominations for all handicaps and entries for the Laghmor Plate at the Ashburton County Racing Club’s autumn meeting will close to-morrow at 5 p.m. CJ.C.
