THE RACING WORLD

FOXTON TO-DAY

Fields for Annual Meet TRACK IN GOOD ORDER Form Review & Prospects (By "The Watcher.”) The annual meeting of the Foxtou Racing Club will be held to-day. A satisfactory list of acceptances has been received and with the promise of a break in the recent spell of bad weather the club looks likely to have a line day. The track is in very good order for the racing its sandy formation enabling it to recover verv quickly from the recent rains. Some dual engagements present themselves during the day. but backers have plenty of recent form to assist them in solving the handicapper’s problems. . The card and timetable is as follows: — 11.30 a.m.

Borm horses in the hurdles arc Adventus and Vitaphone, while Birbeek must be considered. Invictus, Knollmere, and Capetown present possibilities, but the money looks most, likely for Advcntus, Vitaphone and Birkbeck. 12.15 pan. MAIDEN STAKES—AII S.O. Amyril Princess Ruth Arctic Region Sir Romeo Aweketea Stadium D’acre Switch On Kn Vidette Te Rangitumau Gay Coat Thomlsc Hnwora Toxmlss There is not much form to guide backers in the maiden race. Amyril, Arctic Region, Sir Romeo, Stadium and Lc Rangitumau have shown up. in recent races. Favourites may be Stadium, Amyril and Arctic Region. 1 p.m. HIMATANGI HACK, of 65 sovs. Six

Glenvanc has not raced for some time and may not be forward enough yet, but he has to be considered. Wasteland looks likely, also Ebeum, Arastar, Aroma, and possibly Lackston and AVhetuma. -Ike best backed may be Ebeum, Wasteland and Aroma.

The presence of the two top-weights, Takakua and AU Humbug in a inter race complicates Cup calculations. Both should run well if started. Lucky Alice on improved going similar in many respects to Wanganui should make a good showing. Senegal and Chief .Marionette are both, on their recent form, likely bighweights. Money may come for Lucky Alice, Senegal and Chief Marionette.

Thrasher, Alerciuu Prince, Shootist, Dick Whittington, and Priseellu A'crnc are all form horses in the hack mile, which bears a very open appearance. Favourites may bo Mercian Prince, Thrasher, and Priscella A’ernc. 3.15 p.m.

Both All Humbug aud Takakua will be well supported if they start iii this race. Royal Bengal, The Tiger, and Sir Pombal are also form horses, and Orby’s Choice is a likely improver on his Woodville fourth. The public may prefer All Humbug, Takakua, and Royal Bengal. •1 p.m.

HERRINGTON HACK, of GO sovs. Five furlongs and a half.

Form in the hack sprint earlier in the day may guide backers in the concluding event. Foreign Queen and Hunting Lodge afe fresh horses likely to run well. The best backed may be Foreign Queen, Wasteland, and Arastar.

RANDWICK ACCEPTORS (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.) Sydney, June 7* Acceptors for the Australian Jockey Club’s Second Hurdles, about two miles, to-morrow, are:—Spider King, 10.6, Yarrawin 9.5, Sieatou 9.7, Keugo 9.7, Specimen 9.2.

PRAISE FOR WAKATIPU The sportipg writer, in the “Rand Daily Mail” has the following comment on the form of the Paper Money colt Wak:r--tipu:—"lt is so many years since we ha<. any horse from Australia or New Zealand racing in South Africa that the performance of the New Zealand two-year-old at Cape Town ou Saturday takes an increased interest. Of late so many good horses, from Phar Lap, Limerick and Amnion Ra, downwards, have been bred in New Zealand, that Australian owners and trainers are keen buyers for the produce of t lie Maoriland studs. Whilst I was at Cape Town for the Peninsula summer meeting I was enormously impressed with IVakatipu, whom I s>aw work with Reel 11., a stern schoolmaster for an immature two-year-old. A raking fine individual, Wakatipu is evidently aa good as he looks, and judging by bis performance on Saturday, it is a« well for the South African-bred juveniles that the New Zealander was 1 barred from competing against them. Seeing that he cost only 110 guineas as a yeavljpg, those rabidly against (lie iinnortatiou of racehorses, might, were it not for the excellence of the colt, include him iu their ‘catomcat’ category. Yet, on looks, and breeding Wakatipu will compare very favourably with any South African-bred of his age.”

READY TO RACE

Brother to Phar Lap JUMPERS SCHOOLED Notes and Comments (By ‘"The Watcher.”) Au interesting entry at the Hawke’s Bay meetings is Phar Lap's brother, All Clear, who is being trained by J. 11. Jefferd for his Ceylon owner. Jefferd will also produce Cylinder and his relative, Cyclonic, at the Bay meetings. Jumpers at Hastings. At Hastings on Tuesday, Kaokaoroa (A. Griffiths) and Hard Gold (C. Stratton) were sent twice round over the country to give a splendid exhibition of jumping (says the ‘'Tribune”). Over the brush double the second time Hard Gold went away from his mate to finish very strongly. At the end he was going better than at any part of the two circuits. High Grader (S. Fanning), over four hurdles, gave one of the best exhibitions of jumping ever seen on the local tracks. He will race at Hastings on the fiat, but at Napier will contest the back hurdle races.

Might Gelded. During Mr. V. Ridiliford's absence in England bis racing affairs will be managed by his brother, Mr. E. L. Ricldiiord. The three-year-old colt Alight has been gelded. Lilies the Course. Callamart has a good record on the Ellerslie course over steeplechase country. He has contested six races there for three wins and two seconds. Jumped Better. Paddon gave a greatly improved display of jumping when he won. on AVednesday compared with his showing in the Great Northern Hurdles.

Record Holder. K. Voitre, who has created fresh figures for the jockeys’ premiership, is ID years of age and was first apprenticed to E. Penman at Otaki. He later joined R. E. Hatch at Awapuui, a former firstclass horseman, whose stable has proved a fine nursery for jockeys. Luculhis Was Cheap Sire.

Lucullus, whose stock have been great winter performers in New Zealand, particularly as jumpers, is by the English Derby winner, Ard Patrick, from a mare named Lucca, who won the German Oaks. After racing in Germany, Lucullus, in 101.1, was sent to England, in company with some other horses, to be sold. At that time he was owned by a Prussian Army officer. Rumours of war were rife, and when the horses were offered at auction there was very little bidding, Lueiillus being bought for 25 guineas by the

Wairarapa sportsman, Air. J. O. Hayward, who was then on a visit to England. On coming to New Zealand, Lucullus was sold to the late Air- AV. Walters, Pupakura, and he has spent all his stud life in Auckland. Shutter In Again. Shatter is in work again at Riccarton. Big things have been expected of this Shambles gelding, but be has, on the whole, been only up to fair handicap form. Hounslow Injured. During the running of the Greenfield Hurdle Race at Wingatui on Saturday, Honnslow, who finished fourth, twisted a plate, which ran into the other forefoot. Difficulty was experienced in getting him home, but bis trainer, T. H. Gillett, states that the gelding is now making good progress. Another Jumper. The Hunting Song gelding Tahoma is undergoing bis preliminary education as a hurdler at Hastings. Not many of the Hunting Songs have essayrd hurdling yet, but one of them, Aladdin, proved a champion.

Almost Family Affair. 'L'he Great Northern Sfecpleebase at Ellerslie on Alonday was almost a family affair, as far as the owners and riders of the first two horses are concerned, says the "New Zealand Herald.” The winner. Callamart, is owned by Mr. K. McK. Duncan, of Hunterville, whose uncle, Mr. James Bull, also of Huntcrville, owns High Commissioner, who finished second. High Commissioner ran in the colours of the Te Rapa trainer, J. F. Tutchen, to whom he has been leased by Air. Bull. Callamart was ridden to victory by C. Thomson, a younger brother of R. E. Thomson, who piloted High Commissioner. Air. Duncan had a successful day. not only as an owner, hut also as a rider, for be won the Carbine Plate, for gentleman riders, on the Cornwall Handicap winner, Bea-

con Fire, a hot favourite. This is Air. Duncan's third win in this event, for he scored on his own horse, Otairi, iu 1929, and on Seneschal last year. His brother, Air. AV. R. Duncan, also bad it mount in the race, on Royal Survey, who was unplaced. Silver Scorn. Sydney’s new Sunday newspaper, the “Sunday Observer,” began the racing notes of its first issue with a paragraph which is of interest to New Zealand racing people. It reads: “Crack New Zealand filly Silver Scorn, who looked light when she arrived from the Dominion, and had. to be given a holiday, is doing well, according to her ownertrainer, F. T. Cush.” “Had to be given a holiday” is drawing the long-bow. She arrived in Sydney at the zenith of her form, a practically unbeaten filly in the autumn of her thrce-ycar-old career, and she could have gone on racing had it been considered advisable.

Sydney AVinner Reared Here. The Magpie filly Carefree, who won the June Handicap at the Australian Jockey Club's meeting on Alonday, was reared at the Hororata Stud, being a foal at foot when Valieare came over three years ago to be mated with a New Zealand horse. She was a late foal, and was a poor little thing when she arrived, but, though small, she made up into a nice yearling by the time Air. H. M. Reeves sent her home again. Iler latest performance shows that she has developed into a fine sprinter, which is no more than might have been expected, as her dam, Valieare, was the most brilliant sprinter of her day in Australia.

Head of Hie List. 11. and A. Cults, with two winners at the Dunedin meeting, are now well established al the bead of winning trainers for the season with 29 successes. D. P. Wilson is next, with 21. In the jockeys’ division K. Voitre is out by himself with 117 wins. L. J. Ellis, who

did not improve his position over the three days’ racing at AVingatui, is second with 61, and A. Eastwood is next with 46, two ahead of B. H. Morris.

Racehorse: Parkhorse. .Southern reports state that the 13-ycar-old Solferino gelding, who won a double at the recent Greymouth single day meeting, has for some time past been used in Sacking supplies to prospectors in the loss district. He has practically no ordinary preparation for his racing but his strenuous daily tasks ensure him bciug being in solid condition.

ASHBURTON TROTS

N.Z. Sapling Stakes GREAT RACE LIKELY (By "Overcheck.") The Ashburton Trotting Club’s meetiug is being held to-day, and a particularly strong field of juveniles is carded for the New Zealand Sapling Stakes, which promises to provide the greatest contest yet witnessed. The remaining events have also filled well and a mos* interesting day’s racing is assured. The programme is as follows:— LONGBEACH HANDICAP, ot 100 sovs.: 3.51 class. One mile and a half. Alf Parrish ... ser Kenova «cr Chiming Wrack scr Sea Gift scr Chudleigh ... scr Sister Mary ... Ser Copper Money . scr Koyal Parrish . scr Goulburn ... scr Winsome Hakatere ....scr Laddie ser Hoklmai .... scr Great Wood ... 36 Imperial Nelson ser Harvest Dillon 36 Peter Conquest ser .lean Ballin ... 72 Renegade ... ser Silk Coat ..... 120 After his second to Great Wood at New Brighton recently, Alf Parrish is sure to be one of the popular selections for the Longbeaeh Handicap. Renova and Hakatere ran second and third respectively at Ashburton in April and with Alf. Parrish may be expected to divide the stake. TRIAL HANDICAP, of 100 sovs.; 3.45 class. One mile and a half. Agile scr Modern Lady . scr Arion Axworthy scr Royal Ando ... scr Athelncy Lass . scr Koyal Wrack . scr Bar None scr Social Pest ... scr Cam Dillon .... ser Solario scr Colcne -Parrish scr Sunbrown .. scr Colleen Derby . scr Tangatu .... scr General Wrack scr Thornworthy . scr 11.-ipnv Bird .. ser Agile has been racing well aud at New

Brighton was third iu a large field. Prior to that he was second to Guy Junior at Ashburton, and on form is the probable favourite iu the Trial Handicap. Social Pest was second to Warpath at Amberley and may follow 7 Agile in the betting. Next to this pair, Happy Bird may do best. BIRTHPAT HANDICAP, of 350 sovs.; 4,28 class. Two miles. Arethusa ... scr Mountain Dell. 12 Silver de Oro . scr Sir Guy 12 Sunny Morn .. ser Muriel de Oro . 21 First' Flight ... 12 Although the field in the Birthday Handicap is not a large one, it: is particularly weil balanced and a keen race should lie witnessed. At Addington on Monday, Mountain Dell, Sunny Morn mid First Flight finished in that order, each startin- from a 4.2 S mark. Now Sunny Morn receives 12 yards from each, and, while this should enable him to again defeat First Flight, it is questionable if be will be able to reverse positions witli Mountain Dell, who won comfortably by five lengths. Sir Guy defeated Gold Tinge at. Forbury when conceding 48 yards, while the latter finished in front of Sunny Morn at Addington on Saturday when receiving £4 yards. Taking a line through Gohl Tinge. Sir Guv reads nicely, and maybe he and Mountain Dell will hold pride of places in public favour.

NEW ZEALAND SAPLING STAKES, of SM sovs.; for two-year-olds. One and a half miles. . Durbar Lodge Ltd's, b. f. X unity L air. Dnrbar Lodge Ltd's, b. f. Tondaleyo. Durbar Lodge Ltd's, b. g.

Never in the history of the race has the field for the Sapling Stakes presented such a difficult tusk for investors as this one. Village Guy, War Buoy, Guy Junior and Chancellor each have winning form, while Compass has also raced prominently in his races. Chancellor lias not met such strong opposition as the others have done, and it is hard to assess his chances as compared with the others. Then there is Sir Gowir who registered a brilliant effort in a ti.il against Gold Country. In a particularly difficult race I am inclined to the chances of Village Guy, Guy Junior and Sir Gowan. ACTON HANDICAP, of 150 sovs.; 3.2 S class. One mile and a half. Cloudy Range. scr Taxpayer ... 12 Erin’s Princess scr Worthy King . 12 King's Cun ... scr Denver City .. 21 Nelson’s Chum scr Gay Gordon .. 24 Sniooger .... scr Location .... 24 Special Sun ... scr Manoeuvre .. 21 Aristotle .... 12 Reporter .... 36 Matchmaker ... 12 War Paint .... 86 Suncross .... 12 Jolly Wave ... 48 In the Acton Handicap. Erin's Princess, Cloudy Range and Taxpayer are a useful trio. The former ran well at Addington, where improved form was also shown by Taxpayer. Cloudy Range is an improver. STEWARDS' HANDICAP, of 150 sovs.: 4.58 class. Two miles. Earl Bingen .. scr Silk Coal 24 Itaclalm scr Enigma 3’l Radley 24 Olson 72 Resound .... 21 Tn the Stewards’ Handicap. Earl Bingen. Resound and Silk Coat may receive most support. Earl Bingen ran prominently at Oamaru last month, while Resound was third to Olson and Don Giovanni nt New Brighton. Silk Coat won from Resound at Ashburton in April, when in receipt of 24 yards. lam inclined to again favour his chances, and he may be accorded most support. TINWALD HANDICAP, of 100 sovs.; 3.40 class. One mile and a half. Great Minto ... scr Warpath .... scr .Timmy de Oro . scr Lucky Guy ... 12 Waving Corn . scr Ruin -12 Lorelei scr Ezywurk .... 24 Ronald Derby, scr Gunmetal ... 24 Smoke Screen . scr Royal Escort . 24 Tn the Tinwald Handicap, Ruin, Gunmetal and Koya! Escort may be in most demand, ns each of these three has been racing well of late. If the latter goes away correctly he may prove the hardest to head off. WINTER HANDICAP, of 200 sovs.; 3.24 class. One mile and a half. Ciro scr Sodium 12 Dusollua .... scr Some Guy 12 Huon Voyage . ser Gunfire 24 Indianapolis .. scr Ngingongingo . 24 Manoeuvre .. scr Rayilus 24 Master Roy .. scr Tactless 24 Avernus 12 John Jinks ... 36 Bracken 12 Somcrby .... 36 Probationer ... 12 The Winter Handicap is going to be n difiiciilt race to win. Indianapolis would be preferred of those on scratch if he were a good beginner, but he usually takes time to get properly going. This will tell against him in this field. Ciro is above the average, while Avernus won in a very stylish manner at Addington. Dusolina ami Probationer should also give a good account of themselves. Possibly Avernus, Ciro and Indianapolis will find most favour. AUCKLAND TROTS Acceptors for First Day By Talegraph.—Frees Association. Auckland. June 9.
