THE RACING WORLD

NOTES AND COMMENTS

(By “The Watcher.”)

First Money was taken south last night by ]>. McCaulay, to fulfil engagements at Riccarton.

Aucklanders, in a position to know say that Hamblin’ Kid is a greatly improved hurdler likely to run well in the Brighton Hurdles on Saturday.

Awarere finished second in the Auckland Easter Handicap last year. He was one of the first out and led along the back, across the top and into the straight, eventually being beaten by halt a length by In the Shade. Awarere earned i.b on that occasion, 21b. less than he has on Saturday.

Apparently Te Monanul's racing days are not over vet. for he is among those engaged at the Whangarei meeting.

St Melba. 7.9, appears as an acceptor in the M'uirarapa papers for the Ferry Hack Handicap at Tauherenikau on Saturday.

Scatown lett for Iticcarton last night on the Wahlne, in charge ot his trainer. .1. Buller. Seatown displayed winning form as a two-year-old. and also in his second season. He then went off the scene for a season or so, and has now returned to winning form, and on his handicap must be dangerous ,in t,he immediate future. Prior to going out for a long spell .Seatown won the Grandstand Handicap with 7.131, and beat about 20 others over a mile and a quarter at Ellerslie. Seatown scored a previous win in the Stonyhurst Handicap, and this followed a second to Commendation in the Isew Zealand Derby. This is sufficient to mark beatown as a dangerous horse in any race for which he may be saddled at the autumn meetings, and his appearance at Awapuni last week suggests that he is once more iu first-class form.

When nt Trentham for his only engagement at the Wellington autumn meeting nothing galloped better on the tracks than Pink Note, and in his race he ran up to his track work. At Iticcarton on Tuesday morning Pink Note went well in a mile gallop with Battle Colours. The Paper Money gelding has had a few hard races latelv, but he has stood up to them in good style, and he has never looked better than he does at present. He is such a solid customer that his chance always has to be taken seriously, but he has not been a lucky horse at Iticcarton.

Prior to Limerick having his first race on the present Australian trip, F. D. Jones said that there was no certainty that the gelding would see the A.J.C. meeting right through. He might miss the A.J.C. Plate on the last day, and if so, would be back in New Zealand early enough to tackle Aussie at the end of next month. If that idea were carried out he might then return to Sydney in time to go to Brisbane for the King's Cup and any w.f.a. race that might be on the programme. The Brisbane meeting is in August, and "it would mean coming over only three weeks earlier than usual.” said Jones. Brisbane people would be delighted if Limerick and Amounis were among the horses racing there in August.

The Auckland owner-trainer W. Garrett, who took Sir Rosebery to Adelaide last year for the Great Eastern Steeplechase, and has Zircon on the scene for next Monday’s race, informed a Pressman that it cost him £2OO for Sir Rosebery’s trip, and that £3OO would be the outlay on Zircon. Zircon was apparently very unlucky in a race he contested on March IG. An Adelaide writer says:—"Zircon, the New Zealand horse, made his appearance in a Brush Steeplechase at Cheltenham on Saturday, and he was unlucky to have lost. At the last fence Zircon, who had given an attractive display, apparently had the race in safe keeping, when he tripped on landing, and fell. He has earned friends for the Great Eastern Annual, as he is a bold jumper, and the course should suit him admirably.”

The Demosthenes gelding Haze, after a long and disappointing career in the Mason stable at Iticcarton, has changed hands, and is now trained, by F. P. Claridge. According to reports Haze has been troubled with his legs for some time.

The Riccarton horseman W. Brown will be riding at Tauherenikau at the weekend, but he will be back at Riccarton for the second day of the C.J.C. meeting.

Philippic, Rigmarole. Golden Armour, Dormeuse, a yearling by Shambles (imp.) from Blather, and sevgn brood mares, the property of Mr. G. D. Greenwood, will be shipped from Lyttelton to Sydney by the Marama to-day.

Silver Paper was responsible for an attractive sprint at Riccarton on Tuesday morning, when he registered good time, while giving the appearance that he was not out to do his best. He looks in the best of condition and he will set his opponents a merry task to go with him in the Great Easter Handicap.

Students of form and racegoers generally will appreciate the publication of the second pocket edition of the New Zealand Turf Register, which is now available for sale. With so many meetings to take place in various parts of New Zealand during the Easter holidays, the production has made its appearance at a most opportune time, and readers will thus be provided with indispensable information to assist them in the many problems to be solved in the next few days. The booklet serves to show the public form ot all horses that have raced at totallsator meetings decided between December 1 and March 18, and the accompanying index makes the task of seeking information required a simple one. Statistics pertaining to winning trainers, jockeys, and sires make interesting reading at this stage, and at the reasonable price of 3s. 6d. the publication should meet with a ready sale.

Rotor, who broke down while working at Riccarton on Saturday, has improved slightly, but still is in a bad way. The trouble is in a ligament ot the off fore, leg. E. Scoullar intends to turn him out for a six months’ spell.

Eight yearlings from Sir George Clifford’s Stonyhurst Stud are expected to arrive at Riccarton shortly. The first batcli of four will make their appearance about the end ot next week. Most of the youngsters are by The Ace, the balance being by Winning Hit.

A. E. Ellis, who had only a few rides in jumping events last season, has expressed liis intention of again actively participating in hurdle and steeplechase events during the winter.

Gay Sonnet is in good condition at present (says a Christchurch writer), and but for her soreness, which prevents her from jumping away smartly, she would have to be reckoned with in the Great Easter Handicap, as she can run out seven furlongs solidly. It is probable that C. Emerson will ride her.

An innovation in the way ot stakes is provided by the Waipukurau Jockey Club for the placed horses in tiie Ladies’ Bracelet on Easter Monday. Silver tea services of the value of £BO, £45, and £25 will be presented to the lady nominators of the first, second and third horses respectively.

t Mr. .T. M. Samson cabled his congratulation to Mr. R. F. Marshall on tlie success of Town Bank in the Waimate Cup and Southland Cup.

P. Riddle had a winner at Rosehill on March 9 In Patadawn, a gelding by Kilbroney from Bon Chic, a sister to Beau Geste and Scion.

Celerity II would be well backed in her engagements at Riverton if she trains on since her race in the Southland Cup (says a Dunedin writer).

Now that Rapier has established himself ns a front-rank performer, it is interesting to note that if lie had been for sale at what was deemed a reasonable price tlie. son ot Greyspear would have been carrying Mr. J. M. Samson’s colours (says the Dunedin writer "Sentinel”). At. tlie New Zealand Cup meeting ot 1926 Rapier won the C'ressy Handicap when looking far from ready to race, and lie won by finishing on at the end of a fastrun race. Shortly afterwards Mr. Samson asked the writer if he knew of a good horse likely to win a Dunedin or Invercargill Cup. Rapier was the only horse selected, and Inquiry found that tlie owner wanted 3009 guineas, or just about twice as much, as the writer suggested as a fair price. No business resulted, but Rapier has subsequently proved that he would have been a cheap horse at the figure <ilioted, as lie lias since won about 10.000 sovereigns In stakes, apart from tlie pride and glory of owning a horse tit to race in the best company.

Catkin, who went to Sydney in charge of I'. D. Jones, has not shown any form there. Commenting upon the Catmint gelding. "I’llol." in the "Referee,” throws some light upon his prospects:—“Since Catkin arrived at Randwick I have seen him do a couple of excellent gallops on tile tan. the time being so good, with M. MeCarten in the saddj", that 1 think he must have been lightly shod. Catkin may win over here, but It Is evident he is riot to be presented with anything. In fact, the way he was weighted at Hosehill suggested the handicapper was not in (ouch with his New Zealand form. In his last, three races in the Dominion Catkin was

unplaced, his latest failure being with 7.7 —7!l>. from the minimum—in the Wellington Cup, won b.v Vertigern, 8.3. His previous start was in the Grandstand Handicap at Auckland, when, with 21b. overweight, he was 81b. from the minimum. In the Rosehill Autumn Handicap he was allotted B.l2—minimum G.7—and in the Three and Four-year-old Handicap at the same meeting he was placed within 81b. of Sion, who has 8.11 in the Doncaster Handicap. It was, therefore, not surprising Catkin was hurriedly withdrawn from both races. While admitting a handicapper is entitled to his own ideas, Catkin’s weight savoured more of guessing than handicapping.”

A remarkable case of the wrong mare having been raced occurred in South Australia. Yellow Iris had been leased by a trainer, who two months ago took delivery of what, he believed to lie - that mare. She was started in a race at Murray Bridge, when the discovery was made that Yellow Iris was still in the paddock. That trainer is much puzzled to know what mare it was lie had in hand, for she had shown him one or two good gallops.

Tn the published lists of winners of the A.J.C. Doncaster Handicap the first year of the event is usually given as 1871/but as a matter of fact it was founded in May. ISGG (says the “Australasian”). It was a small affair in those early days, being merely a sweepstakes of £7 each, with £7O added, and for some years afterwards tlie added money was only £5O. The first winner was Mr. Chaafe's Dundee, with Mr. Seatie’s Bracelet second, and Mr. Ryan’s Cock-a-Hoop third. I am not quite certain, but think it probable, that the nominator of the winner is identical with “Old .Tack” Clfaafe. who died only a few years ago in New Zealand. “Jack” Chaafe came out from England with Mr. John Eales in 1854, and for more than half a century took an active part on the turf in Australia and New SJpaland. Chaafe rode Eclipse in the first Derby run at Liverpool. near Sydney, and won by Lauristina. Another Derby was run at Homebush a month later, and Lauristina also won that event. The book gives Clove (18G5) as the first A.J.C. Derby winner, but Lauristina’s two were years before that—in 1857. AUCKLAND NOTES HENDERSON IN SERIOUS CONDITION Dominion Special Service. Auckland, March 27. The arrivals since yesterday Include Gay Ballerina, Vexatious. Aussie, Awarere, Papatu, Prodice, Air King. Awamutu, Desert Glow, Flying Prince. White Fang. Mosque, and Mosaic. MonalofT and Monsogne were expected by steamer in the afternoon. There was a little fast work this morning. Mosque sprinted five furlongs in Imin. 7sec.. and Mosaic four in 53 4-ssec. on the No. 3 grass. A big morning’s work should be recorded on Thursday, as the weather is still fine and the tracks perfect. There is no improvement in S. Henderson's condition since the operation, and he Is still in a serious state. Beau Cavalier is making progress, and his trainer now expects to run him in the Brighton Hurdles. A.J.C. SCRATCHINGS GOTHIC AND JOCELYN AMISS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. (Rec. March 27, 9.20 p.m.) Sydney, March 27. Owing to soreness the champion Gothic to-day was scratched from the A.J.C. Plate, Cumberland Stakes, and Autumn Stakes. Jocelyn was scratched from the Sydney Cup owing to leg trouble. Baverwrack also was scratched, as he has hurt himself. JOCKEY CLUBS’ FORFEITS “While contacts by way of gaming or wagering are now void by statute, it must not be imagined that all transactions connected with horse-racing are necessarily null and void,” writes P.R.W. Some such ideal seems, however, to have been entertained bv Sir Albert Clauson, a recently appointed Judge of the Chancery Division, who, while an undoubted authority on company law, is not altogether au fait with the law relating to racing club transactions, judging by a recent decision of his which has just been overruled by the Court ot Appeal in England. The facts of the ease are of Interest and are recapitulated herein. Mr. Edgar Wallace, the noted writer of detective stories, dramatist, and racehorse owner, entered some of his horses for the Newmarket races, but these horses did not run. The Jockey Club instituted a friendly action against M. Wallace to recover forfeits in respect of the void nominations, and Mr. Justice Clauson, before whom the action was brought, held that the forfeits were not enforceable, ns the transactions were gaming and wagering contracts under the Gaming Act. Against this decision the Jockey Club appealed. The Master of the Rolls (the Right Hon. Lord Hanworth, P.C., K.8.E., a member of the famous legal family of Pollock), in delivering the judgment of the Court of Appeal, said that horse racing, despite restriction, was still a lawful pastime. “If there were no other purpose In a contract than gaming or wagering,” said His Lordship. “it would be void, but there was nothing dependent on gaining and wagering as between the Jockey Club and Mr. Wallace; therefore, there would be a declaration that Mr. Wallace was liable to pay the sums claimed.”—-Earl of Ellesmere anil Others v. Wallace ("The Times." Weekly Edition, dated February 14, 1929, p. 204). This judgment, in which Lord Justice Lawrence and Lord Justice Russell concurred. has given the greatest satisfaction in racing circles, since it establishes the principle that a forfeit incurred by the owner of a racehorse is a debt legally recoverable. It will probably have farreaching consequences, including the alteration of tlie rules regarding nominations being void should the owner die before the decision ot a race for which his horse was entered.

C.J.C. ACCEPTANCES

By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch. March 27. The following acceptances have been removed for tlie first day of tlie Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting:— KILDARE HURDLES, of 250 sovs. One mile and three-quarters.

TROTTING HAWERA MEETING • — 9 (By “Overcheck.”) The Hawera Trotting Club has received excellent acceptances for the first day ot its meeting on Saturday, and the gathering promises to be well up to the high standard of those of the past. The Cup has attracted an acceptance of sixteen, including the New Zealand Cup winner of 1927 —Kohara—whose presence in the fieid will naturally give added interest to the event. Proceedings will be opened by the running of the AUROA HANDICAP (harness), of !» sovs.; 3.40 class. One mile and a half. Lady Yvonne . scr Albert Zolock.. scr Dawdler ser Jasper scr Te Wnhia .... scr Lady Author., scr Tawa King ... scr Louie Dillon .. scr Electric Gold . scr Gang Awa’scr Black Ballin... scr Great 8a11in.... 12 Alice Axworthy set El Direct 12 Ngahuia scr Great Delight .. 12 Nathanielscr Vallamont .... 12 Rita Thorpe ... scr Bright Light 30 Several of the runners competed at the recent meeting of the Manawatu Club, and of these Louie Dillon and Electric Gold were placed second and third respectively in tlie Ladies’ Bracelet, their times being 3.34 4-5., Electric Gold conceding 24 yards. Later in the day Louie Dillon ran third in 3.36 4-5. Electric Gold being unplaced. In the Pohangina Handicap, of 13 furlopgs, Tawa King was third, El Direct from the same mark, and Great Delight conceding 24 yards, being unplaced. The latter went 3.36 at Nelson, while at Wanganui last year she registered 3.35 l-o. so her Manawatu form was probably below her capabilities. Of the others Ngahuia and Gang Awa must be entitled to a great deal of respect. Both won at Carterton in December, the former going 3.42 3-5 on a very heavy track, and the latter 3.4 G. All things considered it would seem that Ngaliula, Gang Awa, and Great Delight are likely to carry most support. If the going is heavy El Direct may reach the money. MATAPU HANDICAP (harness), of 200 sovs.; 3.45 class. One mile and a half. La Campione .. scr Haviland scr Wah scr Altonbrook ... scr Carwood ser Ben Bingen ... scr Mokanna scr Eva Reta 12 Bingen Spiers., scr Call Boy 48 Audo Spray ... scr Leo Mauritius . 60 Ukulele Lady., ser As in the first race, most of these horses competed at Manawatu, where Haviland and Altonbrook did best, they finishing second and third to Laurier in the Linton Handicap in 3.57, 1-5 and 3.56 1-5 respectively. On Manawatu form, Altonbrook reads best of those that competed there. Audo Spray was successful at both Nelson and Marlborough, but may not be equal to running up to his present handicap. Ukulele Lady won over two miles at Marlborough in 5.8 3-5, and may go well. Carwood registered 3.47 at Waikato in December. and from the point of view of time appears to Hold an advantage over the others on scratch. ' Eva Reta. however, registered 3.40 at Inangahua in December, and appears to be very well treated on a 3.44 mark. Call Boy has no prformances so far this season,,but last year he registered 3.43 2-5 at Hawera. and if he is produced in solid racing trim may be the hardest for Eva Rita and Carwood to defeat.

(Continued from Page 18.) STRATFORD HANDICAP (harness), of 200 sovs.; 3.36 class. One mile and a half. Speed King ... scr Lady Jewell .. 12 Alice Axwortliy scr Queen Beverley Elizabeth.. 24 Audubon scr Bell Dial 24 Bonanza scr Enawah 36 El Direct scr Audubon Child. 36 Musical scr Dealer 48 Great Ballin ... scr Trustworthy .. 48 Our Nancy ... scr Cora Tacks ... 60 Native Hero ... 12 Sailor Boy .... 60 On current season's form one is inclined to pass over the limit division, but possibly a reservationu should be made in tjie case of Our Nancy, who on the Hawera course in April of last year ran third twice, her best time being 3.32. Native Hero won the Wairarapa Cup very impressively in December, though his subsequent form has not been up to expectations. The present company, however, is not over-strong, and I expect him to do better now. Lady Jewel won over a mile at Nelson in 2.19 4-5., and so is not badly handicapped on 3.35. Queen Elizabeth, however, is preferred at a difference of .12 yards. She won twice at Nelson over ten furlongs, going 2.58 and 2.57 1-5, which works out at 3.33 for a mile and a half. She will probably be a good favourite. Of the remainder, Cora Tacks, who registered 3.30 at Wellington last month, may do best. The stake money may, however, go to Queen Elizabeth, Native Hero, and Our Nancy. HAWERA TROTTING CUP (harness), of 600 sovs,; 4.40 class. Two miles. Zella .... scr Explosion .... scr Ariki Toa .. scr Van Rich 24 Derby Lynn ... scr Great Peter .... 24 Grand Light ... scr Evelyn Locanda 24 Linkman ser Cornelian .... 36 Roddy scr Daytime 36 Sir Author .... scr Gold Dial 1)6 Carmel scr Kohara 168 When she ran second to Riehore at Manawatu, Zella registered a shade under 4.40, which is possibly as good as she is able to do just now. Ariki Toa is a fair sort, but may not be equal to present company. Derby Lynn has so far failed to strike form, and must be passed over on that account. Grand Light failed at Thames, and although I do not like passing him over it has to be remembered that he is only a three-year-old and is meeting a field containing good older horses. Linkman won at fnangahua in 4.40, while Roddy ran a second and a — third at Forbury last month, on the latter occasion registering 4.37 3-5. Sir Author won at Forbury in January in 4.42 3-5, Roddy, conceding 48yds., being second In 4.31). Cannel does not appeal, but Explosion Is likely to carry a good deal of support, for at the Waikato meeting in December he was narrowly defeated by Medusa, his time being 4.37. Notwithstanding that he has so far failed at two miles, Great Peter is sure to have a large following, and I am inclined to favour his chances in preference to anything behind him. The back-marker, Kohara, is. asked to go 4.26. and as the probabilities are that one of those near the front will do better than liis handicap, it will be seen that Mr. Corrigan’s horse Is set a difficult task. The public may decide to rely on Roddy, Explosion, and Great Peter. MANAIA HANDICAP (harness), of 250 sovs.; 4.50 class. Two miles. Ukelele Lady scr Bright Light .. 24 Kolmar scr Etta Cole 36 Dipnoi 12 Anselino 60 All Peters 24 Peter McKinney 84 Ukulele Lady is giving away some seconds to come into this race, while Kolmar's best performance during the past twelve months was his 4.55 3-5 at Hawera last April. Dipnoi registered 4.48 3-5 at Otahuhu In February. All Peters won at New Brighton In 4.48, while at Forburv in November he did 4.51 4-5. Etta Cole registered 4.42 1-5 when she finished third to Dipnoi and Don Zolock at Otahuhu in February, when conceding the former 96 yards. Anseline was fourth in the same race when in receipt of 12 yards from Etta Cole. Anseline, however, won at the last Waikato meeting from Koro Peter and Peter McKinney in 4.43, and it is no doubt on this account that she now has to concede Atta Cole, who did not contest that particular race, 24 yards. She also meets Peter McKinney on 24 yards and Bright Light on 36 yards worse terms. On paper Etta Cole should be a firm favourite, and she may experience most opposition from All Peters and Bright Light. NORMANBY HANDICAP (saddle), of 200 sovs.; 2.20 class. One mile. Zealous scr Halmore 24 Lady Jewel .... scr Riehore 24 Silver Link .... scr Bingen King .. 24 Our Patch .... 12 Bing Bov 48 Van Can 12 Joy Bird 60 High Sea 24 Halmore is such a quick beginner that he should be able to secure a good position early in this race, while his speed is undoubted. He registered 3.30 at Wellington over a mile and a half and should therefore be capable of going inside 2.18 for a mile. Richorc covered the two miles in the Manawatu Cup at a gait of under 2.20 to the mile, and a good race should come from him. Bingen King has no public form to recommend him this year, but in any case Brutus would seem to hold him safe at a difference of 24 yards. Joy Bird ran 2.13 3-5 at Otahuhu in November and so is nicely placed on 2.15. Possibly he may prove most troublesome to Halmore and Riehore. PRESIDENT’S HANDICAP (harness), of 220 sovs.; 4.50 class. Two miles. Ngahula scr Bonanza scr Te Wahia scr Lightfoot scr Richmond Lass scr Kevin Brae .... 24 Electric Gold .. scr Bell Dial 36 Araehne scr Wakefiqld 36 Beverley Trustworthy .. 48 Audubon scr Hostess 48 Great Delight . scr Dealer 48 Form earlier in the day may give some lead as to the likely winner of this event. At the time of writing, however, I am inclined to favour the chances of Araehne most of the scratch division. She has, I fancy, only started twice and on each . occasion has been successful. At Kalkoura last month she won the Kalkoura Handicap of two miles very comfortably. Another South Island performer in Lightfoot ■ must also be respected as he went 4.47 1-5 at Banks Peninsula recently. Of the others one is Inclined to favour the chances of a young horse such as Hostess. ELTHAM HANDICAP (harness), of 220 sovs.; 252 class. One mile and a quarter. Zella scr Carmel 12 Cora Taeks ... scr Derby Lynn .. 12 Ariki Toa .. scr Grand Light .. 12 Van Cap scr Riehore 24 Admiral Lock., scr Bingen King .. 24 Sir Author .... scr Cornelian 36 High Sea scr Evelyn Locanda 48 This race should suit Grand Light admirably, while Carmel has only to run up to his recent Waikato form to be in the money. Cora Tacks has been racing pretty . consistently lately and she too may have a good following.
