THE RACING WORLD

HORSES FOR NORTH Riccarton Teams Due NOTES AND COMMENTS Death of Glare Reported (By “The Watcher.”) H. Cutts, with Rocket, Cricket Bat, Horn’s Reef and Copyist; A. JlcAulay, with Variant, Southdown, and Guarantee ; and C. Emerson, with Croupier, are due in Wellington this morning en route to Auckland. F. D. Jones, with Shatter, Nightly and Control, and T. Hobbs, with Silver Streak, are due to-morrow morning. Plenty of Travelling. , The majority of the horsemen engaged at Auckland on Boxing Day will also be doing the concluding days of the Jlana- | watu Racing Club’s fixture. Riding in the South. \ A H. Eastwood will do his holiday riding at the Dunedin, Waikouaiti and Oamaru meetings. He .will handle Gaysome, Vintage and Final Shot, , fromMrs. Campbell’s stable, in all their engagements on this circuit, while there brill be plenty of demand for his services in other events. Eastwood could have commanded some good riding at Auckland had he been able to make the trip. Cut a Tendon. ' . . An unfortunate feature of the interference suffered by Asturisca at Napier on Saturday was that she was cut on a back tendon. It may not be serious, ■but it was sufficient to make owner-train-er Mr. G. D. Beatson rather anxious m view of immediate engagements. Is Not Harsh. , _ T , Nightly’s absence from the Hororata Cup field on Saturday was said to be. due to a win rendering him liable to a penalty for the Auckland Cup.. Mr. MacManemin is never very severe in his penalties, and as he had already given Nightly his weight-for-age in the Cup it is unlikely that he would have added any more. His decision not to rehandicap Gold Trail points rather to him holding an opinion that ter chance is not good, for she has the lightest possible weight in the handicap. All Ready for Christmas. . There will be no racing this week and the decks are now cleared for the Christmas racing, which will commence on Tuesday next. Good fields are everywhere engaged and as there appears to have been fairly general rain, prospects are bright for very successful holiday racing. A Pleasant Holiday. t People who like to travel a little afield during the holidays and incidentally Dike in some racing could not do better than patronise the Taranaki-Stratford circuit. The former meeting on Boxing Day and I>ecember 27 and Stratford on January 1 and 2 provide excellent sport amid picasant and beautiful surroundings. Promising Sort. ~ Conference, who created a favourable impression by his running in the hack sprint at Napier on Saturday, is a four-year-old chestnut gelding by the.Autumitis horse Autumn from Te Ngtra, by Polydamon from the imported mare Supstitch. Te Ngira is the first foal of ♦er dam and likewise Conference is the first of her foals alive. In her first season she slipped twins and the next season missed, both to Autumn. Conference has not done much racing, but he was a maiden ■winner at the Poverty Bay meeting last February. Apart from what he may do on the flat, he, looks the right type for the jumping game. Back to Form. . Gold Trail’s final- public trial for the Auckland Cup at Napier on Saturday is regarded as being very satisfactory. Some critics were inclined to think that she was not quite so bright as she might have been after the race, but it was her third hard race in a week, and she freshens up quickly, and has just over a week before the big race at Ellerslie. Gold Trail’s last three races point fairly definitely to her being back to her best form again, and she must be regarded as having good prospects at Auckland. In Two Cups. , Fairway paid up in both the Auckland and Manawatu Cups, so apparently his holiday programme is still indefinite. Diatomous dropped out of the open sprint at Awapuni, and paid up in the Railway Hahdicap. Webster for Spiral. T. Webster has been engaged to ride Spiral in the Great Northern Derby. Trentliam Tracks. * The rain that fell over the week-end will prove beneficial to the tracks at Trentham, but the fall was not nearly sufficient to fulfil all requirements. Consequently the watering of the course proper is being proceeded with. Home Again. After living in Australia for a few months, Mr. W. T. Hazlett arrived back in Invercargill this week. His racing venture must have involved a good deal of expense, as F. J. McKay had a large team of horses under his care and few of them came up to expectations. Two wins by Ruling Light, however, should havo helped the financial side, as she was supported staunchly in each of her successes. Exhibition Gallop. After the second race at Riccarton on Saturday Nightly and Rocket came out for an exhibition gallop over nine furlongs. A. Russell rode Nightly and A. H. Eastwood was on Rocket. The boys were in racing colours. Nightly led for the first couple of furlongs and was then joined by Rocket. For the remainder of the journey the pair galloped on terms and the finish was practically a deadheat. They ran the nine furlongs in Imin. 55 3-ssec., and did the last six furlongs in Imin. 15 3-ssec. Both* went nicely. Bred in New Zealand. In Perth on December 9 the Chief Ruler mare Valpre won the Welter Handicap, 7$ furlongs, from 23 opponents, starting second favourite, and winning by half a length in 1.34 3-5. Racing Mysteries. A report from Melbourne last Wednesday stated that startling developments are expected to follow the receipt that day

by the secretary of the Victoria Racing Club (Mr. A. V. Kewney) of a report from New South Wales on the ChrybeanDuke Bomblta racing mystery. All Mr. Kewney would say was that he had received “important information. Making Progress. The kick received by the Auckland Cup candidate, Master Brierly, is not causing as much trouble as at first anticipated. The wound is healing well, but the. leg hqs filled slightly, and Master Brierly may not be able to work for another day or two. It is expected that the treatment he is receiving will soon have a satisfactory result. Riccarton Inquiry. . . At Riccarton on Saturday an mquriy was held into- Interference with True Shaft just after turning into the straight in the Hororata Cup. The committee decided that, while interference undoubtedly occurred, the evidence was msumcient to warrant it taking any further action. Explanation Asked. ' D, O’Connor, rider of Silver Ring at Riccarton on Saturday, was called on by the stewards to explain the handling <>t his mount. O’Connor's explanation was accepted. A Good Record. Vintage, who won again at the Hororata meeting on Saturday, has started only four times, and his record is two ■wins, a second and a third. On the way he ran out the mile on Saturday he wi.l not be troubled by a longer journey. Had Coalition. . „ The late Mr. D. G. Riddiford.took a keen interest in racing, though hts principal hobbies in that direction were in hunting and polo. The late Mr. Ridd.ford was the breeder of the great steeplechaser Coalition, who earned fame on the race tracks in the colours of his nephew, Mr. Eric L. Riddiford. From Good Line. . . , t Dorado, who ran promisingly at Napier on Saturday in'his first public appearance, belongs to Mr. T. H. Lowry s Desert Gold family, being by Grandcourt from D’Oro, a sister to Desert Gold and dam of the Speedy Coronilla, Doradt was sent up at the 1932 sales, but was a backward yearling and passed in at. -0 guineas. Dorada finished fourth after a promising showing, and all'going uell will win races. False Rumour. One has to go away from home sometimes to get news.. The following paragraph has been going the rounds: It is reported that the officials of the Wellington Racing Club have for some time past contemplated the idea of planting a live fence inside the course railing at Trentham but it is doubtful if anything will be done in that direction. The chief objection is an obvious one, as it would deprive a jockey who had fallen from one of his chances of escape from horses hoofs. Jockeys are very clever at rolling under the rails to avoid trouble. There would be no such means of escape were a hedge in the. way, and the only •'wav to overcome this objection would be to plant it several feet in from the rails. J-he Wellington club has no intention of doing anything on the lines indicated above. It is understood that it was tried at Randwick and had the result of taking all the grass-growing properties out ot the part of the track where it was planted. „ Death of Glare. , After Glare had displayed first-class form in New Zealand for his ownertrainer,. J. W. Lowe, of Trentham. and had established the record ot —l6l for a mile and three furlongs, he was ed for 3000 guineas by J. Truskett for Victoria. A very high opinion was formed of him, and he was expected to be successful, in some of the important handicap events in Australia. He, howevei. proved a great disappointment. He Xvm, backed on several occasions, but failed to win a race for Truskett. He proved difficult to train, and although he gave indications of a return to his best, form in a few events he always failed to survive the final preparation. After repeated failures he was sold to the Mentone owner-trainer S.- B. Ferguson for 100 guineas. Ferguson turned his attention to hurdle racing, and last June won a hurdle race at Woodend. and at his next start finished second to bub Rosa at Epsom. In both races he jumped well for a novice, and displayed pace on the flat. He was then turned out for a spell; and recently returned to Ferguson’s stably. He, however, suffered from an internal complaint, and bec.-une so bad that he had to he destroyed on December 13. Glare was bred by the Messrs. Brown on the Hunter River, New South Wales and was sold as a yearling for 1W guineas. He was by Australian Sun from Lady Travancore. Increased Interest. Evidence of the increased interest in racing in South Australia since the passing of the Act to allow bookmakers to bet on racecourses is furnished by a letter received by the “Australasian from the secretary of the Port Adelaide Racing Club, Mr. S. J. Pullman. At the Port Adelaide meeting on November 2 a the attendance showed an Increase of 4a per cent., and the totalisator investment an increase of 33 per cent., compared with the corresponding meeting last year. At the Amateur Turf Club’s meeting on December 9 the returns were even better, as there was an increase of 50 per cent, on the totalisator receipts and 00 per cent, on the gate receipts. Increased Prize-Money. The Australian Jockey Club <cojnmittee last week decided on the conditions for the King’s Cup which will be run next year, the Doncaster Handicap, and the Sydney Cup. In each case the prizemoney was increased. The King s Cup will be worth £2OOO, an increase ot £a00; the Doncaster Handicap, £1750, as against £l5OO this year, and the Sydney Cup £4500, an increase of £5OO. Ruling Light’s Form. . Suggestions that Ruling Light s form was inconsistent were made after the mare had won the Fund Handicap aMoonee Valley this month. Mr. W. 1Hazlett, her owner, sought an interview with the stipendiary stewards two days later, and directed attention to the fact that he had backed the mare at Moonee Valley for only the same amount as he had when she disappointed a week earlier, in the Armadale Handicap at Caulfield, where Ruling Light was ridden by F. McKay. As an apprentice allowance could be claimed by E. Preston at Moonee Valley, he was given the mount (says a Melbourne writer), and thus Ruling Light met many of the other runners on better terms than at Caulfield. Mr. Hazlett, who is connected with racing in an administrative capacity in New Zealand, was assured by the stewards that they were satisfied with Ruling Light s performances, and that they had no reason to question her running at Caulfield. Archer and Richards. In addition to his English wins, Gordon Richards rode two winners at Ostend this year. This has served to recall that in his record year (18S5), Archer crossed to France and won the Grand Prix de Paris on Paradox. It was his only mount in France that year, during which he won the English Two Thousand Guineas, Derby, Oaks, and St. Leger. His mount in the One Thousand Guineas was unplaced.

’ PROMISING COLT Backed for Melbourne Cup I ? VICTORY OF SIR JOHN ’ t Cabled reports of the success of the . New Zealand-bred colt Sir John in Syd--1 ney on December 9 conveyed the idea 'that be bad created a very favourable impression, but according to all reports 7 by mail it was exceptionally good. The » "Sydney Morning Herald” says:— t "Having his first run in a race, Sir • John stamped himself a colt much - above the general two-year-old in the - Kirkham Stakes at Warwick Farm on r Saturday. His victory was recorded in a most taking manner,- for he not only revealed pace, but also showed rare determination and a desire to do all that : was asked of him by his rider. In fact, ’ the way in which he accomplished his : task in the straight, by no means a light ' one, as he had to concede the proved Sun Clad about four lengths start from the turn, left the impression that he was more like a seasoned galloper than a ■ youngster that had not previously apI peared in public with the colours up. • “From the time he was put on the ' tracks, Sir John seemed a made-to-order I galloper, but a slight setback caused him to be relieved of the important spring engagements. He was taken in hand seriously again by G. Price after the latter’s 1 return from Melbourne, but few people ' outside of the stable considered him such 1 a worthy aspirant for so rich a race as - the Kirkham Stakes, owing to his inexperience. He had shown earlier in the 5 week that he lacked nothing in the mat- • ter of speed by getting over three furlongs in particularly smart time, but it was thought that his condition would be against him over a two-furlongs longer journey with youngsters that had been returned winners or had given very en- ’ couraging displays on more than one oc- ; casion. The trainer and the owner. Mr. 1 E. Moss, however, had different ideas. 1 and, although friends were informed of ! the colt’s ability, the advice was not ’ taken until the most tangible evidence 1- was forthcoming, and it was .so substan--1 tiai that many people were then unable to invest the required amounts at what they considered was a fair price. / “Sir John was not favoured with an inner position at the barrier, but he jumped away satisfactorily, and at the hali-mile was in about fifth position. He ' bowled along nicely approaching the turn, k where he was about fourth, but once in : the straight was sent after the pacemakj er, Sun Clad, who, to most people, then 1 seemed to have the race well within his keeping. Sir John stretched out in great ; style. His rider, M. McCarten, gave ; him one cut with the whip, and the youngster bounded forward with such ef- : feet that the rider immediately realised ! that further application, was unnecesi sary, and the colt, giving a pleasing ex- ? hibition, went on to beat Sun Clad by naif ; a length. „ „ “It, is only necessary to recall Sun ’ Clad’s second in the Breeders’ Plate, and ' his successes at Caulfield, as well as his ' game efforts at Flemington, where he bad 1 big weights, to realise the merit of Sir ; John’s victory on Saturday. And fur- » ther proof of #vhat is expected of the colt is forthcoming from the fact that he was supported last week to win the Centenary Melbourne Cup next year, not- ’ withstanding that entries do not close until next June. . . “Sir John was purchased in New Zea; land on behalf of his present owner for 725 guineas. He is by imported Limond, sire of Veilmond. who also carried Mr. Moss’s black nnd green livery, from the Imported mare. Jewel of Asia, by Grosvenor. The dam was sent to Australia ' by Mr. Bundle Brendon in 1926, nnd ' was purchased the same year for New . Zealapd.” ‘ WAIRARAPA WEIGHTS i . • ■ Meeting on New Tear’s Day > , By Telegraph.—Press Association.

TOD SLOAN DYING Revolutionised Race Riding BETTING ENDED HIS CAREER A cable message received in Melbourne from America this month stated tha-t Tod Sloan, famous jockey of other years, was dying in a hospital in Los Angeles. Sloan may*fairly be said to have caused a revolution in race-riding the world over. When he first rode in England, his seat in the saddle and his methods caused a gr.eat stir, but those who scoffed were soon silenced by his success. His plan was to get the best of, the start and to go all the way. His seat in the saddle has been called various names, but nothing was more appropriate than “the-monkey-on-the-stick,” as he used to perch up on the withers of his mount with his knees tinder his chin, and his body almost horizontal' with the horse’s back. In this way. Sloan argued, the wind resistance was lessened, and as he won race after race, even the conservative English jockeys shortened their leathers a trifle and tried to ride like the American. Sloan rode for some of the leading stables in England, and certainly all the heavy backers of the period. He used to bet himself, and he liked nothing better than a gamble on an alleged “good thing.” Betting was ultimately his downfall in England, as it got to the ears of the stewards of the Jockey Club that in 1900 he had backed Codoman for a fortune for the Cambridgeshire. His punter was fined, and Sloan was informed that he need not apply for a license again. Stage and Pictures. When Sloan’s riding days were over he followed various occupations, including that of an actor. One of his greatest successes on the stage was that of a jockey in whiqh by his cleverness he outwitted the villain. Sloan also took up training horses in America; but failed. He then drifted to Hollywood, and appeared in several pictures. For years he has been living quietly in Los Angeles. Some months ago fie became a judge of the turtle-racing which was held at one of the pleasure resorts in the Mojave Desert. It was by no. means a sinecure, as he was fined for being interested in a gambling business. “One for Old England.” Sloan’s book was interesting, particularly that part which referred to his riding career in England. He told many amusing stores, one of the best being against himself. It appears that Sam Loates, then one of the most famous English jockeys, was worried about Sloan’s success with his short leathers, but pride would not let him shorten his own. Finally, he resolved to try “the-monkey-on-the-stick” seat, and 'went to the post perched up on his mount’s withers. All went well until, about a furlong from home, Sloan ranged up alongside of him. Loates rode his mount along with hands and heels, but there was little response. Finally, Sammv threw his feet out of the irons, sat bolt upright in the saddle, and shouting, “Here’s one for old England.” gave his mount a terrific cut with the whip, and the animal bounded on to victory. That was the last and only time that Loates ever tried to ride in the approved American, style. DUNEDIN TROTS Handicaps Declared By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, December 18.
