THE RACING WORLD

NOTES AND COMMENTS

“The Watcher.")

(By

“Bet,” Featherston.—The information is not readily available, but will endeavour to get it for you.

Acceptances for the first day’s events at tho summer meeting of the Wellington Racing Club will close on Friday, at 9 p.m.

Acceptances for all first day’s events at the annual meeting of the Foxton Racing Club vill close on Friday, at 8 p.m. j Nominations for all races at the summer meeting of tho Hgmont Racing Club, to be held on Thursday and Saturday, February 2 and 4, will close on Friday, at 8.30 p,m.

A day or two of good, steady rain would be very welcome at Trentham prior to tho forthcoming summer meeting. Tho grass tracks at present are very hard. Still the- course and grounds present a much greener appearance tlian the majority of track's at this time of the year.

/Trentham is at present experiencing the quiet period intervening upon the conclusion of the holiday racing and tho opening of tho local summer meeting on January 21. No visiting horses have yet arrived, and none are expected prior to the week-end; 1 and the work of the local brigade is of a quiet order. The majority have had a good deal of recent racing, and it is just a matter of keeping them up to tho collar. For tho work yesterday morning, which was mostly easy pacing, tho tan track, which is now a light plough, was used. There wero no gallops against the watch, ond a thick fog would, in any case, have prevented timing.

Tho Waikato trainer, M J Carfoil, who has Paganelli and Macroom engaged at Trentham, has cancelled ono box, so ho will bo bringing only ope of the pair to race hero

J. T. Jamieson, who had six boxes engaged for tho meeting, has cancelled two, and F. D. Jones, who engaged four, hag cancelled ono.

Mr. V. Riddiford has disposed of his three-year-old Leighton filly Tone to an Australian buyer, and sho will be shipped by the Ulimaroa on Friday. Tone only recently got but of the maiden ranks, but she has been unlucky on more than ono occasion, and she might develop into quite a useful inaro in Australia.

Staghunter has come through his two races at Ellerslie in good style, and he is looking very healthy an'd bright. lie will be ridden in tho Wellington Stakes by B. H. Morris, who was successful on him at Riccarton in November.

H. Lorigan stated yesterday morning

that present intentions wero not to race Oratrix in the Wellington Cup. Oratrix is an improving mare, but the Cup might be just a little too severe for her at the present time. A definite decision will be announced later.

Joy Bird worked soundly over seven furlongs yesterday morning, being picked upon the journey by Irish Lad. Joy Bird is in rare good condition at the present time, and while she may not be equal to a Wellington Cup, she will be in the firing line for the best part of the journey. If fitness alone could get here there sho would land the prize.

Royal Duke scored well in a handicap at the Wellington spring meeting, but subsequently he went off and proved difficult to keep conditioned. He was given an easy time a ftqr racing unsuccosfully at the New Zealand Cup meeting, and that tho policy has been a sound one is evidenced by the colt’s present appearance. He has built up again very nicely, and in company yesterday morning with Concentrate accomplished a useful task. Concentrate appears to have benefited by his holiday racing, and these two colts should perform creditably at the forthcoming meeting.

Wild Pigeon won the Oaks at Riccarton in November in such convincing style that her subsequent failure in handicaps, despite favourable weights, is surprising. Wild Pigeon is being kept going, and it is intended to send her to Riccarton next month to contest the Midsummer Handicap. The theory of horses for courses may work out successfully in her case.

Cerf has developed a bad habit of running off tho track when he starts work iu tho mornings. A. Goodjnan is now trying him iu a hood and blinkers, but yesterday lie acted as uaual. A whip started him on a round of pace work without any trouble, but on being asked to go again he ran off once more. Further persuasion saw him get’ rid of his rider, R. Beale, and gallop hack to the sheds without incurring any damage. Cerf was gelded some time back in an erideavour to effect a cure, but apparently he is too well set in his bad habit. Tho first qf the yearlings to bo sold at the annual sale of yearlings this month will arrive on Friday, when the lots bred by Air. G. M. Currie at Koatanui and Mr. I. G. Duncan at Eldcrslie, are due.

The Paper Money mare, Good as Gold, is being freely discussed in connection with tho Telegraph Handicap, and many people are anticipating her success. Good as Gold only recently joined open company, and while her record is a winning cue, Booster, who gave her 381 b. at Invercargill, meets her at Titenthain on 181 b. better terms. Ability to begin brilliantly is said to be greatly in her favour.

It was recently reported from the south that tho English mare Celerity 11, who claims a Cup engagement, might have to be spelled. The following from Monday’s “Southland Times” is tlie, latest reliable information on tlie subject: “The imported mare, Celerity 11, was on the tracks on. Saturday morning getting through tim easiest of exercise after warm water treatment at her home quarters. It appears that she did not get the best of runs in the Invercargill Cup, and was badly treated by several other competitors at the barrier and in the race for tke Southland Handicap on the final day of the S.R.C. fixture, with tho result that she is suffering from knee and other troubles.”

The same authority has the. following: —"The locally-owned sprinting marc, Good as Gold, has heen treated to the minimum in .the Wellington R.C.’s Telegraph 'Handicap, and roads nicely at 7.0. There is no doubt that tlio Paper Money mare can gallop fast, and if she should get an even break with her rivals at Trentliam, there will be trouble ahead for many northern sprinters. Mr. Baird’s mare appears to be a< the fop of her form at present, and if this condition holds rood for another fortnight Good ns Hold will rightly carry a fair amount of southern 'support for the Telegraph Handicap.”

Martian Spear showed signs of lameness while on the West Coast, and it is reported from Tticcarton that ho may bo allowed to forfeit his Trentham engagements.

Some of the Tticcarton trainers who have horses engaged at the Wellington Boeing Club’s meeting will probably come north on Saturday night. They would have preferred to delay their departure till next week, but all the accommodation on the Wahine on Tuesday night has been reserved for yeartingsi which aro going north for the Trentham sales.

A feature of the West Coast meetings (says the Christchurch “Press’’) wns the excellent staiting executed by Mr. R.

E. Hatch, whp carried out his duties at all tho galloping meetings and tho Westland Trotting Club’s fixture with a consistency appreciated by all concerned. . Tho two-year-old filly Childsplay got into some trouble on the boat when returning from Auckland, and had some skin taken off her legs. Sho is engaged in tho Wellington Stakes, at the approaching Trentham meeting, ami it is hoped that her injuries will, heal quickly, so that sho may bo able to come north with her-stablemates.

Martarma has returned home from his successful trip to Auckland, looking all tho better for his recent racing. The Great Northern Derby winner is booked to race in the New Zealand St. Leger, to be run at Trentham in March, and tho present programme is to ship him to Sydney after that meeting, lie Jias an engagement in the Australian Jockey Clue’s St. Leger, while ho will also be nominated for weight-for-ago events, also the King’s Cup, the new mile and a half race, to bo run at Randwick on the concluding day of the meeting. A meeting between Martarma and tho crack Australian three-year-old, Trivalve, would arouse some interest.

F. D. Jones will soon have Limerick moving along again in strong work. It is intended to nominate him for the Hazlett Memorial PJate, to bo decided at tho Dunedin Jockey Chub's meeting next month. If all goes well, ho will run in that event, and ho will leave for Sydney about the end of next month, to fulfil engagements at the Australian Jockey Club’s Easter meeting. Zaragoza will probably accompany him. There is a. possibility that Arikiwai will also make tho trip, and with that in view ho may be nominated for tho Doncaster Handicap.

Rapier looks in tho best of health after his two winning efforts at tho Auckland Racing Club’s meeting (reports tho Christchurch writer, “Argus”). He was on tho track at Riccarton on Monday morning, and bo was as light-heart-ed as a kitten. Ho will .probably have his next race at Trentham, and though burdened with 9.8 in tho Wellington Cup. ho will have to bo seriously reckoned with.

Countersign was a disappointment when racing in the south during the holidays. Sho looks well, however, haying recovered from temporary indisposition, and sho may show improved form at Trentham. .

Paper Boy and tho two-year-old Noteworthy are booked for a trip to Trentham. Silver Coot is also engaged there, but in his case a decision will not be made until ho lias raced at Ashburton on Saturday.

Stormy performed well on the northern trip during the holidays, but he was sore after tho Marton Cup, in which ho met with a good deal of trouble.

Since tho last race meeting held on the Hgmont racecourse, tho old judge’s box has been and in future that official will bo placed in a new box level with and just off tho stewards’ stand. Tn days gone by tho judges’ boxes placed parallel with the outside rail of tlie course may have served their purpose reasonably satisfactorily, but tn these days of very big fields and extremely close finishes, it is essential that the judge be placed in tho best’position, and that is at a point many feet back from tlie rails.

AUCKLAND NOTES PROSPECTS FOR DARGAVILLE . i ■ Dominion Special Service Auckland, January 10. Master Doon is making a good recovery from the accident lie met with during the holiday carnival, but it. will bo" some time before ho races again. R. E. Brown has recommissioned the five-year-old Nuki Boy, who has been spelling for two years. At present he is a good way oft racing condition. : Sir Archie and Gala. Day arc being kept going in their work, as it is tlie intention of their respective trainers to race them at Trentham.. Gala Day was given a dose of physic after raying at Ellerslie, and seems to have freshened up a little. Sir Archie is in good order, and should do well in tho minor classes. Ballymoy 11, after undergoing' an operation to ono of her legs, has resumed active work. Sho is a picture of health, and has put on flesh during her respite. T. George has just taken up a two-year-old filly by Romeo from the Demosthenes mare. I’earl de Mont, who is (n fine condition, and appears to have been well done as a youngster. During the week Winsome Boy changed ownership, Mr. W. E. McDonnell being the purchaser. Winsome Boy remains in I l '. Gilcliiist’s stable, but his proposed trip to Dargavillo Jias been cancelled. Golden Wedding again showed signs of soreness behind after working on Tuesday, and sho will, lie another defection from tlie Dargavillo meeting. Scot Free, a candidate for jumping honours at Dargavillo, was schooled on Saturday morning, but his display was by no means encouraging.. After racing at Ellerslie. Siaosi was left behind by H. L. Russell, and it is probable that ho will bo educated as a hurdler under E. Rao’s guidance. He looks an ideal type for tho game, and is still a comparatively young horse. Horses that have already left for Dargaville, and who arc booked to go today, include Alonsoa, Glenetta, Right and Left. Automno, Scot Free, Ponticus, Royal Bonus. Dave, Corinax, Weo Marble, Sir Rosebery, and Takarunga. Several trainers changed their plans about Dargavillo for various reasons, and tho fields are not likely to be very big. Horses that look like finding support in their first day’s engagements are:— Maiden Handicap: Glcnetta. Corinax; Taka Taka Handicap: Bright Dawn, Antonine: Kaihu Hurdles: Comet King, Master Arch; Settlersl Handicap: Fu-rore-Exalted bracket, Honhora; Dargaville Cup: Alonsoa, Right and Left; Avoca Handicap: Dave, King Emerald: Awnkino Hack: Creation Roman Abbey.

RICCARTON NOTES ■ CONTINGENT FOR WELLINGTON RAPIER TO CONTEST CUP Dominion Special Service. Christchurch, January 10. Riecarlop stables will have a ftroug representation at the Wellington summer meeting, anil again a good share of the stake money should come south. 1L has been definitely decided that Rapier will be on the scene to again contest the Wellington Cup which he won last year with two stone less weight than he is called upon to carry on this occasion. He will probably bo ridden by C. Emerson, who will also again have tim mount on ('hild.srplay in the Wellington Stakes. Rapier has, if anything, improved by his Auckland trip, and it is hard at this stage io select anything in tho race to bring about his downfall F. D. Jones • will take Stormy,-Ari-kiwai, and First Sight to the Wellington meeting. This trij all got on the winning list at the Manawatu and Martou meetings, and the way they are now .shaping, suggests further money for tile stable. Stormy was badly knocked about durI ing his races in the north, and has been inclined to be sore since, but it is hoped that tho ailment will have disappeared in Iho intervening . week. First Sight benelitted considerably by his first trip away from home, and looks likely to turn out more than useful. Being by Gav Lad, he would make a likely hurdler later on, and a career in Illis bra cell of the sport has been mapped out for him. Arikiwai lias at last fulfilled his earlier promise, and it would not be surprising to seo the half brother to Pilliewinkie doing well over a,distauee of ground in the near future. When circumstances 'permit, A. E. Ellis will do the riding for the stable. Tho Chokebore three-year-old filly. Quarterdeck, sprained a, fetlock whilst exercising at Riccarton on Monday, and will not bo taken to 'Wellington. The stable, however, will have a team of seven to represent it comprising Front ■Rank, Childsplay. Skyquest, Sudden Storm. Wild 'Work, Full Feather, apd Impertinence. The two last-named are two-year-olds by Autumnus from Equipment, and by the Ace from M iss Mimic, resueetively.

Full Feather, who is a half-brother to Cent repicci*. has grown into :f handsome youngster and has shown much promise in his track essays. Ho has been given plenty of limo and his trainers express rhe opinion that ho will develop into a high-class.lhroe-year-old. s ' -■ Childsplay was not affected’ by- her Auckland trip,' and to-day hopped _ over three furlongs on tho plough at Riccarton in .35 2-ssccs. 1

Bronstell, winner of the Reefton Cup, will race at Asli barton on Saturday, ami in all probability will bo taken to tho Wellington meeting. By his win on Saturday ho ‘has won sufficient money to elevate ' him from hack company, but can still run out his nominations. Footfall has shown no ill effects from his one race at Ellerslie, and to-day got through some useful work at Riccarton. Present intentions are to send him to Trentham, and ho will be accompanied by Paperchase. Tlie latter will bo worth following in her engagements. Countersign was not herself during the southern holiday circuit twd did not show anything like her true form. The. stable mate. Rotor, also failed to race up to expectations. Both/will bo taken by E. Scoullar to tho ’Wellington meeting. The same mentor will also have charge of the two-year-old, Silver Paper, who has done as well as anything at Riccarton since the New Zealand Cup meeting. An important race for this youngster is not far distant. Nincompoop has been a payable proposition for liis present owner, and now that tlie heretofore unreliable gelding hns become solid and seems partial to a distance, he can bo relied upon to earn more money. It is to take him io Wellington, his first engagement ■.being in the .Anniversary Handicap., Money Order is in the best of condition after his creditable Ellerslie invasion. Ho will carry the confidence of Riccarton track watchers in. the Telegraph Handicap, in which he will probably bo again ridden by T. Green. G. J. Pine’s stable will, have Noteworthy and Silver Coot racing on tlie first day at Wellington. Both have been galloping well at Riccarton lately. Sir Roy lias been handicapped for the Wellington meeting, but a decision as to his movements will not bo decided until after the Ashburton fixture ,cn ' Saturday, where easy money appears to bo awaiting him. Thorndale was tlie king ’ pin amongst tlie handicap performers at the Wpst Coast meetings, carrying big imposts on pach occasion. , It will now be interesting to follow his efforts amongst the horses he will meet in Wellington, but it can bo said lie is improving with age and at present is in splendid fettle. Wright does not seem to trouble him and Im is always a dangerous proposition to encounter over a seven to a ten furlong journey. Thorndale was allotted 10.10 in the principal race at Ashburton on Saturday, being called upon to concede two stone to Sir Roy, but his name was missing from tho list of acceptances. Martarma will ,not bo raced again until the Wellington autumn meeting,' when he will compete in Hie New Zealand St. Leger Stakes. . It: is. intended to then ship hini to’.Sydney to contest among other racks the A.J.C. St. Leger land the King’s Cup at tho approaching autumn i.carnivals. Owing to steamer accommodation next week being :well booked up, it is probable that a, number ,of Riccarton horses will be Mliipped north by" tho 'AVahinc on Saturday next. WAIROA ACCEPTANCES Br Telegeafu.—Peess association Miilroa, January ID.

(By 4 “Overcheek.”) With tho convulsion of the holiday fixtures, a period of comparative quiet reigns in trotting circles, and this will not bo'broken until the Forbury Park summer Sneeting, which is to take place on January' 117 aud f '2S. In the interim there will bo only four trotting races—two at Ashburton and two at AVairio on Saturday next. Tho nominations for tho two trotting events at Ashburton are very heavy, and the selection of tho winners will be no easy task. A brief review of the prospects of those engaged will appear in this column on Saturday next.

It is more than likely that Talero, whoso performances this season have been very disappointing to his connections and admirers, will bo given a lengthy spell. His owner stated recently that he seems well, and is full of life when running in the paddock, but he appears to lose interest in his work when produced in a race. His best performance, this season was his second to Machine Gun nt the Auckland spring, meeting in October. In that .race he was conceding Jewel Pointer, who finished fourth, 48 yards. While tlie latter has improved in a wonderful manner, Talero has shown n. form at all. It is one of those unaccountable happenings that occur from time to time, and a spell seems to be tho best treatment to adopt.

In view of the fact that Nelson McKinney won in heavy going at Addington in November, many thought that bo would run a great race in the Progressive Handicap at the recent Canterbury Park meeting, but, strange as it may seem, the heavy nature of the track found him out after a mile or so had been covered. Running past the stand after a circuit had been povered. ho appeared to slip about nnd did not go as well after this as he had done in the earlier stages of the race. So far as condition went, he was as nt as anything else in the race, and the distance should not have troubled him at all as it was only a mile and a halt.

Entries’for Ihe Cheviot Trotting Club’s annual meting on February 4 close on Saturday.

It will be interesting ,to see whether I. G. Holmes can get a win out of the aged but speedy Logan Chief. He wa. going well in his engagement on the first day of the recent Canterbury Park meeting but had to be pulled up owing to an injury to his sulky.

Fight Ever, whoso form so far this season tins been below par, may do better shortly.

Rose Ando raced well enough at Addington to suggest that she may lo difficult to dispose of when el e next •vterw quE.

Pan Yan can handle any sort of going - and is now a much improved horse. The manner in which he defeated all but Daluahine in the ’ Park Handicap at Canterbury I’ark augurs well for tho -f future.

Golden Spray, who won r, double at Greymouth, is a fonr-year- ,id filly .by Great Audubon from a Lord Elmo mare. Up to the present she has done little racing, but her recent performances stamp her as a very good sort.

G. Carling, the Otago trainer, has a useful sort in Lady Bingen, who is by Nelson Bingen from Real Lady. She won the President's Handicap at Winton very nicely. ?

But for the fact that at one stage he was forced out very wide N.iiiiist Jny. would have gone near winning the Winton Cup. As it was, re finn-hul within two lengths oi’ the winner. /

The improvement effected in Icgan Park during the past, twelve rienths is remarkable. At die recent Canterbury Park meeting he covered two miles in 4.28, whereas at Forbury Park last January ho failed when .laudicapped to go 4.46. And it will occasion no surprise to find him bettering the tune he now has against him.

After running second to Pe'.ernali in the Summer Cup at Auckland, Cm.cliff was a trifle sore, so wa“ net produced on the final day. Tho general concensus of opinion now is that bo is not the champion .that he has been considered to be. His trainer, W. J. Tomlinson, stated some timo since that he was not as good as the general ptllie thought.

Looking through the r-erforiuanees for the three days it would seem that the best horse seen out at the Auckland Trotting Club’s meeting was Jack Potts, writes “Orion.” His driven C. Donald, considered lie was a good thing beaten in tlie Cup, and this was ■somewhat supported by his second in tne Champion Handicap on the middle day 'iiid a win in the President's Handicap on the fl'ial day. Each time the Ametican-brrd horse was finishing on in’ttef than any of his opponents.

Nelson Fay put up a splendid perform; ance in the Domain Trot at AAaikooaitl on January 2. At. the start lie is reported to have lost about thirty yards through getting tangled in the tapes, but once he got clear paced solidly and finished within a couple of lengths or the winner

Kinney Dillon wou tim New Year Trot nt the same meeting with something in hand. She got away well and was tucked in behind the leaders after about four furlongs had been covered. When called on she sooti ran to the front and finished up three lengths, to the good, her time for ibo one and a hair miles being 3.32.

The Australian trainer. P. Riddle, failed to win a race at the recent Auckland meeting with Sheik, Native Prince or Happy Rosa. Native Prince has been acquired by a patron of J. Shaw s stable, and as be is a promising pacer, it will occasion no surprise to find him doing well when be settles down properly in his new quarters.

Great Bingen is credited with having cone 4.21 4-5 from ' post to post in the Auckland Cup. He was back 78 yards, or (hlsecH., but actually took 8 4-ssecs. to cover the distance named. This emphasises the advantage gained by a quick beginner.

It is nearly 40 years since a small band of trotting enthusiasts decided to form a club in Auckland (says an exeiiange). The idea was prompted by trotting events that in those days formed « lug part in picnic programmes. The central figure in the movement was the late Mr. C. F. -Mark, appointed secretary at the inaugural meeting, and continued in that capacity until his death a tew months ago. The first official fixture was hold in 1890, when the Auckland Trotting Cup. now worth 2250 sovs., was only endowed with a bare hundred. Nevertheless, it was as important in 1890 as the race that was decided this season. The winner of the 1890 contest was the Taranaki-bred geld ing Commodore, previously known as Turpin. He was owned ■ by Mr. S. Heeney, and was trained bv Dinny liarlord and young Bob Hall (now a llourish-

ing and successful trainer of gallopers and paeers at Papatoetoe). Commodore was ridden by Barford, who although now well over three score years, still takes his place at the Auckland Club’s gatherings. In fact he was present to see Aliuriri win last week.

D. Withers fractured a rib as a result of the accident which occurred in tho Grandstand Handicap at Auckland, while on the following day, Mr. J. R. McKenzie, owner of Great Actress, met with a mishap to his knee. The meeting was certainly an unlucky one for Mr. McKenzie and his trainer.

The summer meeting of the Metropolitan club is set down for February 11.

The principal race is the Midsummer Handicap, of 700 sovs., 4.32 or better. The second “leg” is the Linwood Handicap (one milo saddle), of 300 sovs., for horses that can do 2.16 or better. The Juve.nile Handicap (for tbrce-year-olds) is worth 300 sovs., and the distance one mile and a half. Tlie Cashmere Handicap, of 350 sovs., is for unhoppled, trotters that can do 4.42 or better. Sprinters are catered for by the Craven Handicap, of 300 sovs., for horses that have done 4.26 or better. Nominations close on February 1 at noon, handicaps will be declared on Friday, February 4, while acceptances close on Wednesday, February 9. .
