Rosebank Hurdles: Ethiop and Bazaine. -Closeburn Hack: Maestro and V)aiPl Hunt> Club Steeples: Tangled and Royal Songster. Ladies’ Bracelet: The Drone and Oriel. Farewell Hack: Donegal and Middle.

chase on the first day, when Makeup, 11.9, was first, and Diamond, 11.5, was second, after losing a lot of ground through bad jump at the sod wall.

Acceptance on Friday. . An acceptance will be declared on J: nday, wihich should clear 'the air, but Trentham looks like supplying tiyo .wellbacked candidates for this year's National.

Four for Australia. F. D. Jtfuw .is making arrangement to leave for Sydney pn August i with Custos, Ccrne Abbas, Kow Tow and Cyiillian. There was some doubt about the trip earlier owing to Gustos, but ne has recently been making good progress.

Good Recovery. , , . , Tea Uni was lame when he returned to -the birdcage after hte race in the Amateur Cup Steeplechase at Hastings ou Saturday, and it was at first feared that he bad broken down badly. Later in.. the day his condition bad improved a lot. It was then thought that he might have knuckled over at one of Ihe jumps .and that he would soon be all right again.

Backing the Aga Klian. ”1 have been amusing myseit with working out a little Derby promlcm,” writes “Peterborough'’ iii the London “Daily Telegraph.’’ "If one had backed every horse entered for the Derby by the Aga Khan since 1930 for £1 each way would oue be up or down on the gamble? The answer te £22/13/9 up. ’lhe winning years were 1930, when Blenheim won at 18-1, representing a profit, after deducting Rustoni Pasha’s £2, of £22 10/-; 1932, When Dastur was second (18li, making a profit, after deducting Firdausi's failure, of £2/10/-, and 1936. Thte .year’s wins would amount to £l5 12/6 on Mahmoud and 10/- on Taj Ak bar, which, after deducting £2 for Bala Hissar,'makes a total of £l4/2/6. Last year the loss of £4 on- Theft and Hairan would have wiped out Banram's 5-4 win of £l/11/3. During the last sever, years the Aga Khan has had three firsts and two seconds, and has entered 11 other horses which failed to run iu the first three. His most disaertrous. year was 1934, when Alishah (fifth), Umidwar and Badruddin all failed. New Colours.

When Blazon ran jn the hurdle race at Waimate on Saturday he was niak ing bis.first appearance in the colours of the Southland owners, Messrs'. W. E. and J. S. Hazlett, who purchased him recently. He remains in the stable of fjie Oamaru trainer, J. Ross, but doubt less he will eventually join the other horses of hie- new owners in Southland. In the meantime he is booked to race at Riecarton next month, and may be an early winner over hurdle?, as he should benefit by race experience. Answer to Correspondent. “Ewart,” Wellington.—£l9/3/-.
