FEILDING ACCEPTANCES

NOTES AND COMMENTS

(By

“The Watcher.”)

Nominations for the summer meeting of the Egmont Racing Club to be held on December IS and 19, will close on 1 riday at 8.30 p.m.

Paganelli, who came up to Feilding after the C.J.C. meeting and is remaining for the Feilding Stakes, is galloping well on the tracks. JI. J. Carroll paid a Hying visit to Feilding last week to make sure that all was well with the Lord Quex gelding.

Some of the backers of Black Duke when he got beaten the first day at Winton last week made a noise when he won on the second day.

Mr. A. H. N. Taylor, of Te Horo, writes complaining that the report of the accident in the maiden race on the second day at Otaki is incorrect. He says that it was not Transact, ridden by his son, which fell first and brought the others down. The report as published was officially supplied to the Press after the judicial inquiry at which the evidence of other jockevs in the race was taken. 1 personally did not see which- horse came down first, as 1 was watching the running of others ahead of the fall.

Make Up, Masher, and Clarendon were all unlucky at Levin on Saturday.

Taiisker usually runs his races out in front, but on Saturday he came from behind and finished solidly.

As a two-year-old Just So raced three times, and at her last two starts ran second to Consent on the first day of the Otaki winter meeting and won on tne second day. She galloped into a trestle on the Wanganui tracks a little later an ” was not produced again until the Waverley meeting last month. In the interval she was shifted from W. H. Dwyer to .1. Fryer. Just So should be a useful mare if all goes right in the future.

Mr. J. J. Corry, owner of Rabbi, who was in Invercargill last week, stated that it was unlikely that he would race in the south at holiday time.

The four-year-old gelding Te Atiawa was sent up to Auckland last week in order to undergo an operation for wind trouble at the hands of Dr. W. C. Ring. Le Atiawa, who was recently leased to Mr. B. Lewis, is a well-bred gelding by Chief Ruler from Wake-up.

W H. Dwyer was to have shifted his team from Wanganui to Waverley yesterday to make use of the good tracks there, during the summer. The Wanganui tracks, which have been very hard for some time past, are now being watered, and the plough is also receiving attention.

Ceremony sprinted half a mile at Wanganui on Saturday morning in 48 2-ssec.

T. Webster continues to make excellent progress toward recovery.

It. Reed went through Otaki without a win, but he made two at Levin on Saturday.

The imported sire Quantock died in New South Wales recently. Laughing Prince, who has performed well in New Zealand, could be cited as the best horse sired by Quantock.

Paladin will stand next season at 100 guineas to a limited number of approved mares. Bookings have already been made at that fee, and others are seeking inclusion in the list, so that Paladin seems to be assured of full patronage at what cannot be considered an extravagant fee. Paladin was purchased at the Kinloch dispersal sale for 130 guineas.

Rain is badly needed for the majority of tracks.

There is talk of Star Stranger doing the •'smalls” during the holidays.

A punter who was doing his money on a recent meeting asked a totalisator lady for a tip. She gave him a double-figure dividend and later came along with a percentage. Different from the man who got ten tickets by mistake on the wrong horse, and when it won at over £4O did not even say "thank you.”

“I’our horse has picked up a stone and is lame,” said an onlooker to a boy riding on to a course at a recent meeting. The attendant dismounted, and looking into the horse’s mouth exclaimed, “You’re a liar. He isn’t!”

Mangaeharei, a five-year-old chestnut gelding by Autumn, recently sold by Mr. D. J. Barry, of Gisborne, Is now being trained by M. Gardner at Wanganui.

L. Jlatheson, a rider attached to J. M. Cameron’s stable at Hastings, had a nasty fall when schooling Real Estate over the hurdles at Napier Park a few mornings ago. Real Estate crashed into a hurdle and threw Matheson heavily, the jockey suffering from a broken collarbone and other injuries. Although at first his condition was regarded as somewhat serious, he Is now improving, though he Is likely to be an inmate of the Napier Hospital for some time. Rapier in Work Again.

Rapier has made a good recovery from the trouble which caused his temporary retirement on the eve of the recent racing carnival. He is quite sound again, and he is working along steadily. He will not be raced during the holidays, but H. Nurse hopes to have him ready for early autuipn engagements. According to present intentions, he may make his next appearance in the Dunedin Cup. Not for Feilding?

Consequent on having been unable to give his horses the necessary fast work, it is unlikely that M. Gardner will take Star Area, Fernden, Mangaeharei, and Valina to Feilding (says the M’anganui “Herald”). They are all in good heart, but have done no galloping for a fortnight or so.

Pomp Recovering. It is pleasing to know that Pomp is making what appears to be a good recovery from the severe Injuries he sustained on the steamer when returning from Sydney. So far as can be judged from appearances now the Absurd colt should be ready to be put into work again in time to get him fit for Easter. However, though liis wounds are apparently healing well there is no telling until the test is applied, whether he will stand- the preparation, but there is good reason to hope tliat the colt’s legs will be quite sound again, despite the very severe injuries sustained. Champions for Small Outlay.

The death of JII-. Leslie Macdonald In Melbourne serves to revive recollections of the purchases he made at the dispersal sale of the St. Albans horses in the spring of 1900, when he secured Revenue for 725 guineas and Wakeful for 310 guineas. Wakeful made an early return by winning the Newmarket Handicap in the succeeding autumn, while Revenue led the field home in the Melbourne Cup of 1901. During her career Wakeful won prizemoney to the amount of £16.690, and, as she subsequently produced a Melbourne Cup winner in Nightwatch, who won the Flemington race under Mr. Macdonald's colours In 1918, that added further lustre to her name and demonstrated what a great prize came to Mr. Macdonald when he secured the bay mare for the moderate sum of 325 guineas. Trentlinni Yearling Sales.

Pyne. Gould, Guinness, Ltd., -will have an entry of fifty yearlings for the National Sale, to be held at Trentham in January, during the currency of the Wellington Cup week. They are drawn from all parts of the Dominion and represent some of the leading studs. Mr. I. G. Duncan has nine entries, four by Weathervane and live by Tea Tray, the former including a very line colt from Victory Bond and the latter a speedy looking filly from Fulsome. Mr. T. H. Lowry’s quartet includes two by Psychology and two by Grandcourt. Mr. A. Appleyard, of Hawera. has a good-looking brother to Crown Area, and Mr. ,T. Grigg, of Longhead), a well-grown filly by Shambles from Pitbrow Lass. Mr. A. F. Roberts’s Nightraids will attract attention, particularly the brother to Phar Lap, who is a colt of great promise. Mr. J. D. Ormond lias five, and Mr. F. Ormond four, all by imported Arauslo. Mr. J. Gleeson, of Taranaki, has three good sorts by Hunting Song and one by Limond. Mr. H. M. Reeves’s quartet include a good-looking sister to Dutch Money and a very promising colt by Shambles from Sleepy Head. His Majesty’s Lean Year. Another season’s racing is drawing to a close in England without a notable success being credited to a horse carrying the colours of His Majesty—indeed, it has

' been a very lean year for horses from the Royal stable. That there is no royal road to success in racing is accepted as a welltested truism, and the indifferent success that has attended horses carrying Ills ■ Majesty’s colours certainly emphasises the 1 point. ’ Many horses of unexceptional breeding have been raised at the Royal Stud since King George V ascended the Throne, but very rarely have any proved above the moderate standard, and, when it is reeogniseil that expense is not considered in an effort to breed the best the unsatisfactory result provides material for a deal of thought. The only colt nominated by His Majesty for the Derby of 1930 is Captain Kidd (by Captain CuttleGolden Isle). Valuable Colt Injured. A yearling colt ranking as a full-brother to the double New Zealand Grand National Steeplechase winner, Wiltshire, and owned in the same interests, was the victim of an unusual happening a few days ago. While running out in bis paddock at Te Rapa he was attacked by a Jersey bull and was badlv cut about the chest, five stitches having to be inserted in the wound. The Day Comet—Lady Lobelm juvenile is a particularly attractive sort and was looked upon as likely to develop very favourably. While there is every hope that he will pull round, progress will necessarily be slow and time alone can tell what the effect of this mishap will be as far as his racing career is concerned.

Common-sense Essential. In his book, ‘‘My Life on the Australian Turf,” just published, J. Scobie, the veteran Flemington trainer, says:—"ln preparing a horse for the Melbourne Cup you must put condition on him first, to make him (or her) hard and tough. It is no use galloping a horse that is not well. I just studv out the case of each horse and work on my own ideas. The observant trainer can tell instantly if anything has gone wrong with a horse. If the work is harmful, ho can tell: if it has brought benefit he can tell. There is no fixed theory on which a trainer can work. The main aim should be to get as near to Nature as possible, and to use commonsense. I believe in open-air and plenty of green feed.”

A Derby Colt? The half-brother to Duo (Demosthenes — Gold Bound), by Cape Horn, will race as Outward Bound. This two-year-old has been given plenty of time, and had his first run along at Hastings the other morning in which he displayed plenty of promise, particularly so as regards staying. He will not be raced seriously until the autumn, and if he shows sufficient promise will be taken over to Sydney next spring to contest the Australian Jockey Club s Derby.
