NOTES ANO COMMENTS REREMOANA TO *BE SPELLED SHINING ARMOUR TRIES THE JUMPS (By Telegraph—from ‘‘The Watcher.”) Wanganui, May H. O. Cox has sent Reremoufia home to Mr. G. F. Moore for a good spell. Lady Desmond is also to go out, and will uot race at Wanganui. She did not race well at Hawke’s Bay, and her trainer considers that this was due to the trip to Riceiirtdn, and the race id the Great Autumn doing her no good on top of the short preparation, he could only give her, Cox has brought in from the paddock the Australian-bred October gelding March, whom Mr. Newman Intends to jump. In addition to one or two young horses, this is all the active work the stable is doing at present.

One of the youngsters, by Chief Ruler, out of Valerie, is regarded by her trainer as a very promising sort.

F. Tilley, who is at present located at Wanganui awaiting the local winter meeting, gave the Greyspear gelding, Shining Armour, his first lesson over hurdles this morning. With W. Easton in the saddle, he was put over two of the pony hurdles. He Jumped very big twice, the first attempt being better than the second, and with experience he should turn out all right.

Glenross is looking very bright and well, but probably he would be all the better for a race. Absurds, however, as a general rule,’'run well when fresh.

Mister Gamp, the winner of the hurdles at Egmont yesterday, now races in the colours of Mr. E. TV. Collins, the owner of Arrow Lad. He was formerly owned by Mr. J. G. Collins,,and on the latter’s recent- death was taken over by his brother. Mister Gamp Is not exactly a newcomer to the hurdling game, having won over the fences as far back as November last. Right from the beginning he, showed aptitude for jumping, and he is now in line to be considered a very likely candidate for the highest honours. Seldom is a race won so hollowly as the one he scored in yesterday, and he had it in his favour tliat he goes well in heavy ground. All going well he should be prominent in the decision of the Century Hurdles at Wanganui, and the Great Northern at Ellerslie. It is understood that S. Henderson Wil! be his jockey in important races.

Son 0’ Mine has been a disappointing arilmal on the whole, but on the way ho shaped in the Hilck Steeples yesterday at Egmont he has at last found the game to suit him. There is not much doubt that ho was unlucky to get beaten.

San Fera Was a fair sort of hunter until hd wcrit in the wind and was operated on. He won the Hack Steeples at Egmont yesterday after giving a fine display Of jumping, and should ecore again befofe long; but at the same time he does not look a good prospect for a big race.

It took smin. Sfisee. to run the two miles and a half of the Bgmont Steeplechase yesterday, and this on a perfect track. Last year ou a soft track Llewellyn won In 3m! n. 20sec. It is therefore quite apparent that the form displayed yesterday was by no means good, and it Is no wonder that Comical, with his pace and desite to reach out, made an error which lost him his jockdy. As a matter of fact, it Comical’s, rider had let him run-along, It is probable he would have jumped better, and been in the money at the finish. As it was, a good horseman would not have been unseated by tlie incident, which was really due to Comical taking off behind two horses, aud landing with and between them, and receiving a bump on recovering. It is worth while giving Comieal another chance to prove himself.

Puwhero did not.start in the Egmont Steeplechase, but there is nothing wrong, with him, and he is to take his place in the field on the second day.

Frisco Jack had matters all his own way at a hunting pace in the Egmont Steeplechase, and over easy fences, then he could not win, and it shows that there Is a big difference between hunter events and open steeplechases.

Dick struck the board fence entering tlie straight after completing a round in the Egmont Steeplechase and was pulled up. His trainer states that the main trouble with Dick appeared to bo a ricked back, bdt he does uot think it Will be serious. Up to that stage Dick, owing to the Siow pace, Had a vcry,promliient position, and it is possible that its the race was run he would have been on hhtld at the finish, which is a fair indication of the modefAto form shown by the runtiers.

Brlgddler BUI has made a good start as a steeplechaser by winning his first race over country, but lie Will haye to shape better before lie cun be considered a possibility for a first-class event.. He should improve with experience.

Bcnzora is shaping towards an imminent return to winning form. His finishing run at Ilawera came too late to get him better than fourth.

Day Guard is not a handsome gelding by any means, and he also lacks size, but. he made a lob of his ppp.onents in the Mcßae Handicap yesterday, and is apparently very well at present.

Judging by Nukumal’s condition when he has accomplished His best performances, he is at the present time a good bit above himself. He was produced in the principal flat event at Egmont yesterday, and was never prominent. He looks big and well, but It will be later in the season before he IS reajlv fit-'-pOssibly not till the National will‘he bo at his best. •

Gasnapper has previously shown good form, and at Hawcra yesterday he ran another good riieo. He was raced over a bit more ground than was advisable, and he should ndt be long In winning.

The Gantcrbury-owhed gelding Aberfeldy Is held In such |iigh favour for the Great Northern Hurdle Bare that a review of his performances may prove Interesting. At four vears Old Aberfeldy registered a surprise'vietory in tho Corunna Hurdle Race run at Treutham last July, tn which event he beat a fair field in rather attractive style. He later scored in the Hudlow Hurdle Race tun at South Canterbury. At the last Grand National mooting he was successful in the Trial Hurdles, aud at the same meeting won tho Sydenham Hurdles of two miles convincingly. At the recent South Canterbury meeting Aberteldy won the Pukahl Hurdle Race under 112 beating ton others, so with only 9.11 lu the Great Northern Hurdles he has uot been overburdened.

On past performances it dOOs not seem a very good proposition in trying to make a steeplechaser out of Comical, for ever since lie has been tried Over fences he has not shown a very gfeat liking for i them. It may be rather too early to condemn him, and perhaps at a later date he might redeem himself.

Zaragoza, engaged at Ashburton to-day in the Farewell Handicap, was responsible fof the best six-furlong gallop at Rlccarton the other morning. Ho covered the distance in Imin. Iflsec.

Honeycomb, tho imported English horse, has made consldeiAble Improvement, of late afid has been working well at Riccart’on. He is engaged in the Elffelton Handicap at Ashburton to-day.

HAWKE’S BAY TROTTING CLUB (INC.). WINTER MEETING.

/OWNERS and Trailers are reminded V that Nominations for the above Meeting Close with the undersigned on Monday, May 14, 1028, at 8 p.m. .A. H. PALMER, Secretary. Box 105, Hastings,

The Quiu Abbey mare Star Stranger II Is an acceptor for both the Longbeach Hack Handicap and the Trial Plate nt Ashburton, but more than likely he will be a competitor for the latter event, which will be run . over five furlongs. With the recent racing she has had, she slpiuld be a very fit niare, and she is afforded the opportunity this week to emerge from maiden company. .One of P. V. Mason’s rising two-year-olds at present being handled at Rlcearton Is a colt by Arrowsmith from Suugleam, dam of Golden Armour.

In the event of Beau Cavalier going out to contest the Groat Northern Steeplechase, under his handicap weight of 12.2, he will be carrying 371 b. more than he lifted to victory on June 4 last. At latest advice, Beau Cavalier was doing well after Ills recent success over the battens.

Although Kawini’s name does not figure in the Great Northerns, he has been entered for a hack hurdle race on the Opening daj’ of the Auckland winter meeting, the Remucra Hurdles on the eCcoud day, and the Winter Steeplechase on the third day of the same fixture. Kawinl is working along all right in his preparation, and is expected to make a reappearance at Ellerslie next month.

The southern horseman B. H. Brodie has entered T. Lloyd's employment at Riccarton and will do the future riding for the stable. The ex-Taranaki horse Kyngzone, who IS one of the latest aspirants to thO hurdling game, was given bis first lesson at Ellerslie recently. He was tried over a couple of fences, lying on the ground to start off with, and after clearing them safely ho was jumped over two pony fences, and for a,nOvice bis allowing was very satisfactory. '

-That promising steeplechase candidate Maidos will have bls next race in public at the Wanganui meeting next week. He first came into prominence when he captured a hunters’ steeplechase at the Taranaki Hunt meeting in August last, and the following month added the EgmontWartganui Hunt Cup to his, total. Maidos, who is trained at Awapufil by G. New, IS an aged gelding by .Sarto from Maidl, for whom good judges predict a prosperous career as a cross-country performer.

Wharneliffe is a slow, plodding stayOr, and through laek of speed cannot go with a field in the early stages of a race (says the Dunedin writer “Sentinel”). It. Is wrong to say, as stated by a northern paper, that ho was kept' too far away In his race at Tiinaru. Wharneliffe did not have many Idle moments in his first face over country, and ho only arrived at the < finish because the others were stopping, and not through the top-weight finding more speed at the finish. Tho Babe was also under strong pressure over the final circuit, and as Royril Wink and others ■were allowed to run themselves to a standstill, tlie plodders naturally got up to them at the finish. The great mistake is made of handicapping such horses as Wharneliffe on three-mile form in a handicap decided over a two-mlle course. In other words, they should blame tho handicapper, and not the horse. After being oft the scene for several months, Tea Time will make his reappearance at the Wanganui meeting next WOefc. With the handy weight of 8.0 to carry In tho Borough Handicap—-a six-furlong event —he has not been harshly treated, for he has been a consistent performer over sprint courses during the season (says an exchange).

The coming two-year-old son of Limdud and Tivoli, and the colt of the same age by Leighton—Statuette, tho property of Mr. W. H. Galsford, who some time back were added to the list of geldings, recently were despatched from Havelock North, where they had been attended to by Mr. F. Donnelly, for Pilnlerston North, to join the team that George Jones has in work for Mr. Galsford.

It is scarcely twelve months ago sinee Glendowle made his first appearance in public, and in all he has only started five times. Nevertheless, says the Auckland writer, “Archer,” he lias come to be regarded as one of the most promising jumpers in the Dominion, for he has won twice, and gives every Indication of making a really good horse. Naturally, his victories have only been attained in minor company, but promotion to the open class will not be a Bar to further success, because he has all the attributes of a good jumper, namely, speed, stamina, and ability to fence well. Moreover, he is olily a five-year-old, and has therefore time to improve a lot yet. For the present Gieudowie IS doing.nicely in preparation for events ahead under the direction of A. Rhodes, and lias lately had several good runs in the hunting field. Glendowie will start the winter’ in a good position In tho handicaps, and he should be one of the successes of the season. When the ex-Trentliam trainer, It. D. O’Donnell, bld to 500 guineas for the imported mare Tanierzand at Kandwick, he was acting on behalf Mr. E. J. Watt. Tanierzand was one of a draft of thoroughbreds sent out from England by Mr. Rundle Brendon, and to our time site is a rising four-yehr-old by Tamer (a halfbrother to Buchan and Saltash), from the Collar mare Ladas Maid. She started three Limes in England as a two-year-old, but was not placed.

Medical experts who haver formed the Opinion as to tho trouble from which TrlValVe Is suffering are of the conviction that it is an obscure ailment. Acromegaly is the name of the disease. It affects a gland at the base of the brain called the pituitary gland, ode of the so-called ductless glands Upon which life, character, and vitality largely depend. In humans the disease has a curious effect. A child nevelops gluht-like proportions, but the intellect is subnormal. Adults nliyslcallv with a rapidity that is alarmin" Ilauds aud feet grew to an immense size. Accompanying all is a loss of vitality and physical power, lhere is iio falling away of the fiesb. however. The very fact of Tflvalve having achieved abnormal development is one of the symptoms which medical specialists say will Cud his racing cafeer.

Tlie dual Dolby winner liampiou was disnatched recently to the property ol Mr C W. Hopkins, at Doonside, where ho will be subjected to a change lor a month prior to resuming work for his snring engagements. Rampion would KveTeen g sent to the Messrs. 3 E. a’.d C H. Briens’ property at Klugsticid but for the fact that in the big pad-<i<n-ks there be gallops himself to a standstill. It is to be hoped that when Rampion resumes he will stand a preparation that will enable him to measure strides with Limerick tn the wf a. events next season. Since thej were three-year-olds, when Rampion was the master of Limerick, these two outstanding performers nave not met. Allowing for Rampion being at his best, » tussle between these two rivals pcllnse in interest the contemKivai™ was iofhWdf tm-n.Vnd spdftsSATRAP SOLD FOR AUSTRALIA buyer said to be sir ANTHONY HORDERN A MELBOURNE CUP MISSION Dominion Special Service. Christchurch, May 11. During the progress of the Wellington autumn meeting, an Australian commissioner asked Mr. J. S. Barrett to put a price on Satrap after that gelding had won the New Zealand St. Leger Stakes. Mr. Barrett did not feel disposed to sell at the time, and the matter dropped. After the meeting, in answer to further inquiry from tlie Same source, Mr. Barrett cabled to Sydney that he would accept 3000 guineas, but no reply was received from the would-be purchaser. During the past few days, however, negotiations vi’ere again opened, ami as a result, Satrap has been sold, subject to the usual veterinary certificate. The purchaser is stated to be Sir Samuel Hordern. but altbougb the price has not been made public, it can be assumed that Mr Barrett would not accept less than the 3000 guineas originally asked. SatraP will probably receive & special Breuaration for the Melbourne Cup,

FINAL DAY AT EGMONT TO-DAY

THE ACCEPTANCES

THE FIELDS REVIEWED (By Telegraph—From “The Watcher.”)

Ilawera, May 11. Good accepfances have been received for "the second day’s facing. As the weather remains fine and warm, form in the main should work out satisfactorily. In the Ngamutu Hack, first day's running will no doubt make Desert Lad and Orcades popular choices. Freezeout, who Claims an engagement in the last race, will, if started, attract attention. Vexatious ran such a good race in the Hurdles the first day, won by her stablemate, Mister Gamp, that she Will no doubt be the popular choice to-morrow, aud she Is always an improved mafe with a race into her. Airtight ran a fair race yesterday, and a fresh hofse in Euchfo will no doubt bo well fancied.

Puwhers, with A. McDonald up, will probably be a good favourite for the Adamson Steeplechase, and his brilliancy over two miles of country will have the majority of his opponents in difficulties. On form San Fera artd Son o’ Mine must be placed amongst tHA possibilities, and Comical, ridden with ability, must be given another chance, Puwllero’s chased will no doubt be strongly favoured. The favourites In the Mokoia Handicap will likely be Paftagi and the first day’s wiriner Bonogne, but on the running Broad Acre should be as Well backed, for he was unlucky yesterday. Eka goes so well over five furlongs that her .supporters fire ndt likely to Be put off by the fact that be has 0 stone. Over the distance Miss Mercia and Royal Lover wete both going W6II yesterday. Dav Guard is not a big horse, atid the rise'in weight may stop him. in the Davidson Handicap, despite bis runaway victory yesterday. Two new horses, over the distance, jii BOnzora and Flying Juliet, both showed up well at the end of six furlongs yesterday, and should be fancied. Both Yoma and Town Bank would have to improve A lot to beat Day Guard, aud so would Blimp. Kllmlss came from a very long way back yesterday to get fifth, but on form it looks like Day Guard again beating all he meets, and his main trouble looks likely to be with Benzora and Flying Juliet. KOddar won so well yesterday—and he runs a good seven—that despite 9.0, he will most likely carry plenty of money again iu the Borough Handicap. Mendip is llkelv to improve, and he was handy all through yesterday's race. With luck, Gasnapper is a likely sort.

ASHBURTON MEETING TO-DAY

THE FIELDS REVIEWED Dominion Special Service.

Cliristchnrcli# May 11. The Ashburton County Racing Club’s autumn meeting to-morrow promises to be a successful fixture, and some interesting contests are likely to.be witnessed. Battle Colours and Assurance are improbable starters in the principal event, the Autumn Handicap, and the PUb*ll- - now probably place their confidence in Thorndale, Fresco, and Carnot. In a reasonably large field for the Longbeach Hack Handicap, form points to Light-hearted, Skyquest, and bea Gay being the elect of backers. The Australian-bred two-year-old, J Gay Crest in Limerick's stable, uas good nrosnects in the Tfial Plate, aqd most opposition may be forthcoming from The Bailiff and Star Stranger 11.. Malmsev, Orlflatnb, and Lanecr constitute a likely trio to contest the honours in the Eiffelton Hack Handleap. In the concluding event, favouritism will probably be divided between Gay Sonnet, Zaragoza, and Sagittarius.

Candidates in M. J. Catroll’s team, who arc being prepared fdr the winter jumping season are Glena Bay, llangawera, and Athenry. Gieua Bay. who is by Romeo from the Martian mare Martigues, has not raced since he was a twp-year-old. He is now in the sixth year, and is an upstanding type, well fitted for the jumping game, at which he has had sohie schooling at Te Rapa. Hangawera is one of the few representatives of Chesterfield (the sire of JJe.iu Cavalier) in commission. Earlier in tlie season Hangawera, who has only recently been taken up again, was a winner over hurdles, and also in highweight company. Athenry has had very little publie experience as a hurdler, but the Mullingar chestnut shows some promise.

NOTES AND COMMENTS (By “Over Check. There is little doing in the trdttifig world just at the moment, the next fixture being that of the Oamaru Club, which his received very satisfactory nominations for Its meeting next Saturday. At AShbiirton to-day two trotting races are set down fdr . decision, and a short review of the prospects of those engaged appears below.

Nominations for the Hawke's Bay meeting, which is to be held on June 4, close ou Monday at 8 p.m.. The club’s postal address is Box 10a, Hastings. Tlie principal race Is the East Coist Handleap, of 200 sovs. and 4 cup valued at 20 guineas, while the driver of the Winner IS (6 receive a gold-mounted whip presented by Messrs. Strickland ahd Bryant. The limit is 1.50 aud the distance two miles.

,T. Washington, who has of late had Logan Chief, Dick Roian, Royal Authoress, and others under hip cart, is setting up as a public trainer. The horses named will return to F. Holmes, but in Donnrd and Daphne de Oro Washington has a eoupla of horse* with which he should

Sahib Is reported to be looking better than ever. His form of late has certainly been a distinct improvement upon that shown earlier in the season.

White Sun. who finished second to Denver’s Doll at Forbury, and earlier in the season won at Invereargill and 'Wyndham, lias joined W. J. Tomkinson’s team. He is a four-ye:ts-tfld gelding by Sungod— Jenny 8011, and it will come as no surprise to find him burning out a really good horse next season..

Koro Peter, who won the opening event at Cambridge last week', is the first two-year-old trotter to win in |he Auckland province, and lils performance augurs well for the future.

While the totalisator returns at Forbury showed a substantiaf decline, the financial barometer was much more buoyant. at Cambridge, where a satisfactory increase was registered, in spite of the fact that only one first and one second favourite were able to win, and both of these were animals owned by the HaWera sportsman, Mr. J. R. Corrigan.

The last New Zealand Cup winner, Kohara. is advertised for sale, the reason given being that his owner is leaving on an extended trip abroad. lie is six years of age, and one of the highest-class horses in tlie Dominion. There should, therefore, be no difficulty in quitting him, even though a substantial reserve be placed upon him.

Being only a two-year-old. bis escapade at Cambridge may have a prejudicial effect upon Great Way. when he is asked to race in future. It is said that to a much simpler happening is attributed a great deal of the unsteadiness displayed by Swlftbinc in most of his races.

The wellknown trotting trainer, D. Kerr, has been appointed caretaker to the Gore Racing Club.

Jade’s performance at FotbUry in her initial outing gave promise of something better to come, but her subsequent form was disappointing.

Prior to his dual success at Forbury, Dick Logan had not been in the money this season. The manner in which he sfieneed the opposition in the southern city suggests that he will again be hard to beat in any race he contests.

Although he did not win at Forbury, Neersou ran well enough to bO kept In view for meetings immediately ahead. He is one of M. B. Edwards’s team, none of which was successful at the meeting. Edwards, however, had the seat behind DOlmeny. when he won the Farewell Handicap so convincingly.

Ardgour has come on a lot since win, ning at Laurence at Eastet time, and should be a payable racing proposition later oh. It is understood he is to be fired and turned out.

Roi L’or was unlucky during the running of the Royal Handicap, but for which he might liave won. As it was, he came With a nice burst at the finish, and was right up with the winner.

Manhattan, the winner of the Sires’ Produce Stakes, is a somewhat hOfivlly-topped gelding (states an exchange), but otherwise his general Hues speak of latent speed. When D. Warren realised that nothing else was capable of going with the Happy Voyage three-year-old he allowed him to run his own race, but he threw his legs out with the confidence of One much older, and came down the home stretch as straight as a gun barrel.

After-a bad beginning in the Royal Handicap at Forbury, Shady Spot showed a great deal of speed. She is a promising sort, and better things may be expected of her next season.

A factor which helped Hawkesbury Pride greatly at Forbury was Iler smartness off thd mfirk. Although giving away 72 yards on the Saturday she was close to the leaders after about three furlongs had been covered.

At present Liberal appears to go mueh more kindly in Saddle tllau in harness.

Once Peter Swift became properly balanced in the Victory Handicap he trotted a flhe race (states a southern writer), and seldom has a trotter put UP a more 1mSressive performance than he did In the nal circuit. Running past' the post for the list time, bo was fifth and several lengths away from the leader, but from that stage ha gradually lessened the gap, and finished with a brilliant burst well away from flte rails to head Dalmeny id the last stride of a great finish. The state of the track favoured stamina against speed.

Moira, who is engaged at Ashburton today, finished fourth to Delightful, Loiterer, find Wrackler in the Improvers’ Handicap at the Ashburton Club’s meeting last month.

For the Canterbury Park Trotting Club’s winter meeting to be held on June .2 and 4 the principal event is the Klug George Handicap, of 600 sovs., for horses that have done two miles In 4.80 Or better.

Cannonball developed lameness while racing at Forbury, in consequence of which he Is to be treated, to a spell. Ashburton Events. Several of those engaged in the Selma Trot at Ashburton to-day have no public form to recommend them, and so I am inclined to restrict consideration to No Fear, Moira, Danny Boy, and Eiffelton Tower, though the fact that he was made fourth favourite in a much stronger field at Ashburton last month should be noted. No Fear has not been raced for some time, and in the early part of the season she had five unsuccessful outings. Last season, however, she won the Progress Trot, of one mile, at Reefton on April 27, and that performance must be taken into account. Moira has had only a couple of outings, and was fourth to Delightful, Loiterer, and Wrackler at the Ashburton Club’s autumn meeting. That form was good enough to enable her to win this event, if she is able to reproduce it. Danny Boy has several times, been backed and beaten, hiS only placed performance to date being a third to Matagourl and Florrie Pointer at the Banks Peninsula meeting on Maren 3. Matagoufi subsequently won at Wellington. and sp this form on the part of Danny Bov was probably better than it looked at the time. Eiffcltofi £ro ") 60 yards, was third to Lady Zifa and Nelbar at Otautau on March -1, 1 >ertime beiiu; 3.35,-but she went 3.06 when she finished second to Underscrub in the Improvers’ Handicap at «? rl £ r J" the month. Moira was first and Dannj Boy second favourite in that a '* they all started from scratch. Srtl»k the two latter now receive 120 yards, they will no doubt be again. /'and the machine closes, Moira, No lear,and Danny Boy may be the order or iqAOur “ Steira.
