THE RACING WORLD

NIGHTLY’S DERBY Suited by Heavy Going RICCARTON RUNNERS Performances Reviewed (By Telegraph —From “The Watcher.”) Ciiristchufcli, November 7. Mr. T. 11. Lowry’s pair, Coromlla and Aesculus, will not race again this week, and R.-Alexander returns to-night with Morris, who paid a hurried visit to Ricearton, and rode only Red Manfred in the Derby, returned again last night. Seen after the race, Morris said that Red Manfred was beaten by the going. He considered it would be a different story on top of the ground, as he horse stumbled and slipped seietal times in the going. Form at Ricearton yesterday was shown under such different conditions from the usual that it may not be too reliable to follow for the last two days, for the weather has cleared and the tiaek will be firm again, although not so fast as on Cup day. It is a pity that a race like the Derby could not have been held under better conditions than prevailed yesterday. The going very obviously suited Nightly, who has been scratchy in his action lately, although, of course, there was also great merit in Ins first day’s wiu. ... . , , Nightly has been a fairly consistent performer. He won a race at the Grand National meeting in August, and again at Ashburton and Geraldine. He failed at Trentham, although he did not, as pointed out at the time, run at all badly, while he was also staying on. Nightly is by Night Raid, who had gained Derby honours earlier through Nightmarch. and his success emphasises the claims of the Klderslie sire to get stayers. Nightly’s dam. Miss Muriel, was by Lucullus from Lady Bob. by Soult from First Love, by Nordenfeldt from Fishgirl, by Yattendon from Fanny Fisher. This is an old New Zealand family that produced some great gallopers, two of them being Mania-' poto and Antagonist, who subsequently earned distinction as sires. Leased by Featherston Resident. Nightly was bred by Nir. R. Acton Adams, who raced his dam with some success. He still owns the Derby winner. who is raced on lease by Mr. J. A. McDougall, a resident of Featherston. Early in his career Nightly was trained in South Canterbury, but F. D. Jones hns had him at Ricearton since the middle of last season. lie has not been an easy horse to handle, as he has shown signs more than once of unsoundness, hut in each of his races at the meeting now in progress he has hit out very freely. He was ridden by Jones’s promising apprentice, A. Russell, and it marked the first success of an apprentice in the New Zealand Derby. Southdown’s performance in running third in the Derby was only fair. While some excuse can be made for him through the state of the going, the hard race in the New Zealand Cup may have affected him. Passion Fruit ran a good race in the Stewards’, but failed badly yesterday over the Derby distance. In his case the going was no excuse, as he won well in heavy going at Trentham in July. Ramo’s win in the Fendalton Handicap rather indicates that he was unlucky to miss some money in the New Zealand Cup. but there is also the fact that he revelled in the muddy state of the track. Ramo suffers from lack of size, but he is a resolute galloper, a good stayer, and in*form. Rocket has run two creditable races at the m'eeting,- second in both the Citp and the Fendalton Handicap. He is apparently at home in any kind of going. Rocket is improving, but there is no doubt he does lack a dash of brilliance at the end of his races. Min'crval was in the picture at a mile and a half in the New Zealand Cup, and he ran third in the Fendalton Handicap yesterday, after a good race. He is improving with racing, and will be a Metro-, politan possible on Saturday. Croupier’s Easy Win. Croupier’s end-to-end win tn the Criterion Handicap 'was one of those amazing happenings that sometimes occur in racing. Some were inclined to look upon it as a reversal of form, but the reality is that he did not improve so much as the others reversed. In addition he was thoroughly at home in the going.' Croupier yesterday showed very little signs of wind trouble, which makes it questionable whether the accepted ideas are correct concerning .what conditions are best for horses touched in the wind. It is the popular idea that a fine, bright day is best, but there are those who claim that a day like yesterday, with keen, cold air, was best, despite the rain. Croupier certainly upheld the latter contention. It was impossible for'it to be anything else but the conditions to put such a decided gap between Croupier and his first day’s superiors such as Silver Streak, True Shaft, Cranford, and Lordly Knight. The imported horse, Irish Lancer, put up a fine performance in the Criterion Handicap. He gave some trouble at the start, and was placed on the outside behind the field, the result being that ho gave his opponents a start of several lengths. He showed brilliant speed to run into a good position after two furlongs, and, although he never looked like catching Croupier, he beat the others very easily. A repetition of this form should make him hard to beat in any other races he contests this week, especially over a bit longer journey. Last Link provided some excitement prior to the start of the Randolph Handicap, as he lost his rider and galloped away to the training sheds, where he was caught without trouble. He was not prominent in the early part of the race, being well back, but he got a good position when the straight was reached and finished with a very effective run to win in the last few strides from High Tor, who stopped badly in the last 50 yards. Last Link had shown useful hack form at Wingatui and Gore before coming to Ricearton. He shapes like winning in much stronger company. lie is by Last Dart, an imported horse by Spearmint, while his dam. Lady Links, by King Mark, was bred at Karamu. She is a half-sister to Hoy. who has left, brilliant horses like Anomaly. Shirley, King’s Jest and Penelephon. ” Last Link is owned and trained nt Wingatui by a former well-known horseman, G. A. Fielding, who was very confident yesterday that his horse would run well. Inflation's Lameness. Inflation has suffered from severe lameness since his race in the New Zealand Cup, caused through n recurrence of old trouble which, it is thought, manifested itself five furlongs from home. He is not therefore likely to start again at the prescut meeting and will probably be given a long spell. Meprisant, winner of the Epsom Handicap, does very little racing. He suffers from trouble in the feet and is not at his best on hard ground. He won the same race two years ago, and then went on to the Dunedin summer meeting to win again over a mile. He did not do much racing that season, and last season he had only two races, being spelled after the Cup meeting, to make bis next appearance yesterday. The track was very soft when this race was run. and he revelled in the ground, making an exhibition of liis opponents from the time he got fairly into the straight. He is by Paladin from Disdainful, so that he is bred on similar lines to Chide, whose dam was a sister to Disdainful. Queen of Song, winner of the Irwell Handicap, had two races at the Dunedin meeting last month, but she has improv.ed greatly since then, yesterday’s per-

formancc being very attractive. She was one’of the leaders all ibe way, and she stayed on to win in very decisive fashion. Her sire, Songbird, by Kilbrouey, was a good class sprinter in his day and has loft a few smart, gallopers. Her dam, Differential, is by Tractor from Fabia, a Light Artillery mare brought here some years ago from Australia by Mr. Harvey Patterson, who established a stud, at the dispersal of which Fabia became the property of Mr. L. G. Hazlett. Well-bred Youngster. Master Reynard had his first race in the Irwell Handicap. He did not get going quickly, but be was finishing on ni great style on the ofitside, and he looks like being very useful later on provide;, he remains sound. He is a well-bred horse by Hunting Song, his dam, Bayonne, being an imported mare by Baj'.'irdo. Another youngster who made a good impression was Emissary, a good-looking brown colt who was also having his first start. Emissary vas bred in Australia and is trained by the trotting trainer, W. J. Tonikinson. He is by Legionnaire from Lahinch, by Kilbroney from Vanna. by Charlemagne II from Savanna by Stepniak. Lahinch was bred at Eldersli'e. and was sold as a yearling to Australia, where she is now at Mr. Percy Miller’s well-known Kia Ora stud, New South Wales. It. is a good branch of tlie No. 14 family, founded by the King Tom mare, Mermaid, an ancestress of Limerick, Pilliewinkic, Ballymena, and other good horses. In Emissary s particular family is the New Zealand Cup winner. Tangihou, and flic A.R.C. Railway Handicap winner, Downham. Night Flyer started last season very well by winning a mile and a quarter hack handicap at Ashburton in the spring, Locksley and Rocket being in the places behind him. After that he had a few starts but. at the end of the year, had to be retired on account of unsoundness. lie had started twice this season prior to yesterday. Olid his second in the Middleton Handicap was a good effort, suggestive of early success, especially as he was handled with very poor judgment. Worship was well-backed yesterday. He was just a bit unlucky and. as he was running on well at the end, be should be worth following. Copyist is showing good consistent form. He again drew wide out yesterday, but was running on at; the finish. He has not had much racing, and is improving all tlie time. True Shaft, Cranford. Silver Streak,, and Lordly Knight, all raced well below form on the soft track yesterday. Prostration has run two good races at the meeting, but has not been good enough on the weights. Argentic has not had much recent racing. lie struck a snug yesterday in Meprisant but, on the form, he should not be long winning a race. Eminent has run two had races at Ute meeting, and has been sent home, but Forestry is remaining for Saturday. A. E.' Ellis to-morrow will ride Hurlinglitim, Cricket Bat. and Sweet Agnes. K. Voitre is expected to ride Gipsy Love and Brown Betty. Takakua, who eatne down to run (his week, has gone sore and will not be a starter. It is thought he is developing a splint.

Addington to-day was ’a very poor contest from the spectators’ point of view: in fact, it has seldom roused less excitement. The bracketed pair. Red Shadow and Roval Silk, had the race to themselves over the last half-mile, the issue simply resolving itself into a question of whether Royal Silk could beat his male. No doubt the absence of a keen-ftnight finish was largely due to the state ol tlie track, which was soft in patches, particularly close to the running rail, but at the same time Red Shadow decisively asserted hissuperiority. The chances of Satin King and Glenrossie. both well-fancied horses, were lost at the start when they failed to begin correctly. Glenrossie did make a showing ’in the middle stages, but he could never hope to run on with it. _ Red Shadow quickly obtained a good position, and was sixth, going well, before the end of a furlong. Sir Guy, Kingcraft. Royal Silk, Mountain Dell, and Free Advice led him for a round, and. owing to the state of the going, the leading bunch was running a bit wide on the firmer part of the track. This left a gap on the inner, and at the end of the first mile, run in 2.14, Bryce drove Red Shadow through fast on the rails, so that, with a round (six furlongs) to go, he had gone up to second place behind his bracketed mate, Royal Silk. From that stage on the race was never in doubt. Red Shadow stayed in behind till a furlong from the post, when, continuing his run on the inner, he came home strongly for a decisive win. Roval Silk was easily second, Mountain Dell third, and Lindbergh n poor fourth. Then, at intervals, came Harold Logan, Glenrossie, Free Advice, and Roi I’Or. Red Shadow made the sixth winner of the cup trained by his driver, J. Bryce. To-dtty his horse stood alone as regards condition. Few.cups have seen practically the whole field beaten at the end of a mile and a half, as was the case to-day. Both Red Shadow and Royal Silk are owned by Mrs, M. Harrall. the latter being now trained by L. F. Burkett. SECOND DAY’S RACES Handicaps Declared By Telegraph.—Press Association. Uhrisfclnirch. November 10.
