SIR BEAU

Colt Meets Bad Luck NOTES AND COMMENTS Kolua A Promising Filly (By The Watcher.) 'Die crack two-year-old -Sir Beau is ini.ssiiig from the field for the Pacific, Handicap and North Island Challenge Staked at Treutliaiif. and he will aiso have to miss his engagements at Easter. Mr. Lupton stated at Bulls 011 Saturday that the colt liad contracted a prevalent, throat trouble, and it. was unlikely that he would be racing again this season. Rider for Beau Vite. A. E. Ellis ha« been engaged to ride Beau Vite in the Tnruimki Stakes on Saturday. IToniiitent Owner's Illness. Mr. T. A. Duncan, the’well-known Huntervilie sportsman, was taken ill at the Rangitikei races on Saturday and required medical attention. He bad greatly improved by the end ot the day. Pekoe. Pekoe was unable to fulfil his engagement iu the Rangitikei Cup on Saturday owing to going sore after a gallop in the morning. Yogi’s Easter Venue. The Hastings trainer S. J. Reid was at Bulls on Saturday and stated that while Yogi was also entered at zVuckland at Easter he would most likely be racing at Riccarton. Getting Ready. The steeplechaser Forest Glow ran in the hurdle race at Bulls, but his rider lost an iron during the race and not much line could be obtained on his form. However, Forest Glow was running ou well and will be ready for early engagements. He will be at Auckland at Easter. May bo a Bargain. Kotua, the maiden winner at Bulls, disappointed her connexions a little earlier in the season, but she has always been a good galloper. She was secured as a yearling at the national sales by Mr. J. H. T. Dunean for oOgns. and looks like turning out a bargain. She is by the Gay Crusader horse Kincardine, and her dam Kahariki is by Hunting Song from Koko, by Heather Mixture —Kowcrewere. by Kopiri. Koko was half-sister to Koodoo, Eleus, Koesian, Tahoma and Jazz King. Lady Moutoa and Manawatu belong to this family. Franklin Winner, Chain Acre, who .paid a big price to win the two-year-old race at Franklin on Saturday, is a chestnut gelding by Surveyor from Twelve Acre. He was having only his second start. His dam is bv Acre from G'olden Comet, by Day Comet— iltangiraa, by Obligado—Cadence by Cvrenian. This was originally a Karamu stud family, Cadence being bred by the Hon. J. D! Ormond. Ran Poorly. There was support for Little Dorrn at Bulls, but after being prominent 111 the early stages, she faded and 1 finished last. Likes it Firm.

Treueli Law made all the running in the Hangiitiikei Cup with Lickcm, and both weakened at the finish. Trench Law. however, finished fourth, and will do better on a firm track. Form Not Impressive, The form of the Thompson Handicap horses at Rangitikei, apart from Amigo, was not i impressive, but the track conditions have to be considered, and there is the likelihood of one or two running on better in firmer ground. Related. . , „ -An interesting result of the New,market Handicap -at Flemington on Saturday was the winner Jlildufa, sired by Manfred, beat Manfred’s halt-brother, Chatsbu ry. Small JTizc Money. The Club Handicap, won by lours Truly at Rosehill on Saturday, was worth only £4SO to the winner, but the return from wagers would no doubt net a substantial portion of his purchase price. Three Winners. Nightmarch sired three of the winners at Banks Peninsula on Saturday. Stonyliurst Juvenile Surprises. Nightglass, who ipaidi a sensational dividend at the Banks Peninsula meeting, is one ot tlie late two-year-olds iron: Stonyliurst, and was having her first ra.ee. Her success was not only unexpected iby the p-uiblie, but it also took her connexions couiiplelely iiy surprise, and she ran unsupported. There was a solitary ticket on her 'to win. Nightgluss is a brown Jilly 'by Nightmarch from Good Sight, by Winning Hit—llquipineul, by Martian-—-Tomorrow, by Bill of Portland —Elusive, by Trenton.
