July 2g. 28^-Glsborne X.C Glendowie May 3e Seen. . Some weU:informed people seem to think that. Glendowie will be seen at Trentham after all.. It. is significant perhaps that he was withdrawn only from the Steeplechase arid Winter Hurdle Race, and' left in the Highweight Handicap run on the middle day. Glendowie raced on the flat at the 'J'e Kuiti Meeting, and raced well, too, so it is understood. ■No doubt the arrangement to start Glendowie in the Highweight with S. Henderson up would suit well with Henderson, left free to ride Beau Cavalier in the jumping races. A race on tKeflat at Trentham would also no doubt :be of advantage to Glendowie for his Ric- . cartoii;engagements. Of course, Glendowie • may ■noticome.to Trentham at all, but it :is that, he was- scratched specifically for the two jumping races and left in the flat race. . , The Victorian' Nationals. - The V.R.C. Grand National Meeting at - Flemington .will be commenced to-morrow, when the big hurdle race of £2000,. run over a three-mile: course, will be decided. ■"When-'the last mail left Australia. Pildm was favourite'for; to-morrow's race, having conic decidedly into favour because of a smart performance at Moonee Valley on 23rd June. Henare (H. Cairns's mount) and W.oblpack were joint second favourites, with Johnny Cake, Kendler (trained by Stan. Eeid), Longlands, Biologist, and Urbani also in , the market. The lastnamed'had gorieiout of favour a.little, and ■ has been rated as unreliable, for earlier he '.. was favourite. ■ ' ■ Another for Australia. , According to a Hawkes Bay report, Clarendon, the two-year-old son of Psychology and Pendant, is to be shipped to Sydney by this week's steamer. He has an A.JiC. Derby engagement and no doubt much depends on how he shapes in New South Wales whether he will stay there for long or not. He will be trained, it is stated, either by George Price or by --F. M'Grath. •-. -Clarendon-v showed fair form last, autumn; and but for a slight mishap during a race' at Napier Park he might have:done even better. He.is an.-attrUc-tive customer, but whether he will prove up to the required standard remains to be teen.. Certainly'that.£Booo'Derby prize is alluring. . ,''■;' ' -.-.' .'.'",';.'.'■,.- ." A Classic Candidate. Staghunter was out on the track yesterday morning at Trentham, and although he has not growriand furnished as much; as one might have expected, this is rather a characteristic of the Quantock breed. They are in the main lightly-fleshed horses. At the same time Staghunter, ie in really good condition for this period of the year, alit!' swings along well in his slow ■ pace work. He looks bright and healthy, and should be a very payable proposition as a three-year-old. He is to go to Riccarton next month with Royal Damon, just tdlget' the benefit of travelling as an aid .to fit liim for his early spring engagements. A Shapely Youngster. . D. M'Cauley has a shapely'rising twp-j'ear-old filly in.work at Trentham. in C'ourtlike by Grand Court from Table Talk by Finland from War Scare by Martian from Gossip. She is-a sister to High •Faltttin', a; gelding trained by F. Tilley, -who on the last of three starts this season finished, third to Episode and The1 Be.gum ■at Ellerslie. : This .filly..looks.-as jf, she will■"-come early. M'Cauley also" has a rangy;mare by. Archiestown from the dam of Qtaifru Kid., She should be useful in jumping iaces later. She has been registered as Qtauru Lass. More Youngsters. • S. ReM liad two of his rising two-year-olds at , the ■ barrier. . yesterday ■ and both ..Jooked to have done well recently. Crash is the first of. Anthem.'s progeny,,by Kij- ..' broney, v and he looks a likely customer.' .The, other, is a. thick-set fellow by Night-: raid from Bontade;,whose best.'horse :to.: .-'date was.'Grim Joke,' who she'.produced;'to; -.-Martian. ;:; -. ■ -':' : ' ,' v"..;;:;, *£''-.!- ..■.His.'.F'irsti'Win.Vj., ' *•„ '.-. '■' ::\.;'-•:-■-.'; The imported _geldihg Importer, scored his first success, in '. the .Hunters' Hurdles at Ellerslie last Saturday, wherein* he was always'handily placed and outstayed the opposition at .the finish. His pei- form: since was nothing to enthuse over, because ■ he/met- a 'moderate-• field, but it demonFtrated'- that he is on the. improve . and> .might win more races in similar company. Importer hit a- fence ■ hnrd and was' too .V:ore to ruu on the second day, but there is nothing seriously amiss. . Luck at Last,'but Mixed. ,;. It is' probable 'that if his rider had not • lost an iron five -furlongs from .home, Kauri Park; would have won the King Country . Hurdles outx-ight instead of dead-heating .-with Potoahui. Kauri-Park..requires-a good 'deal of riding, and H. Dulieu had anything: but an easy ride. It is pleasing r, to.Bee.Kauri Park striking formrbeeause '! he'is a good horse that has not been seen at his- very- best owing Jo. unsouudness. However,., J. liaitibess. has ■ been' very per-'- ---' severing and'it looks as if he is going to ••get the big fellow thoroughly right at last. H. Dulieu will ride Kauri Park at Trentham. . ; . Ellis's Chances. A. E. .Ellis, will have the advantage of R. : Reed and T. Green at Trentham in the race for the jockey premiership, for he is _.to ride over fences as well as on tl^e flat. •-He has that safe conveyance Tukiin the -.Wellington Steeplechase, and ■ the coiii-: ";bination'might easily prove a "thorn in the -side of Beau Cavalier, for Tiiki will be! stay; , ing- on. Ellis has other good rides oil 'the first day in Roscrea and Catkin, while lie' -will be on either Royal Game or Black „ Mint in the Whyte Memorial Handicap. His other mount to date is Carinthia. Part's Breeding. ' t,^' 10 agents responsible, for tlio pale of .. Parl Jiave written stating ■ that an error has been-made in the last issue of the . . btud Book in regard to the breeding of ;. this two-year-old. .The'owner of Cassock ndvjsed-the compiled of the Stud Book that in. 192/5 that niaru igaled a colt to .. Leighton,. the foal jeiiiKParl, biit /or some reason the. Stud Book .showed that Cas- ... fiock "missed .in. that j-ear. This will be •corrected in .the next Issue of the Stud ■ ISoolc. ' Parl was originally registered as ..; NV.avelerigtJv.bilt'the name was not1 allowed ; in, Australia. •.■■■'■ Odds and Ends. . f 'e Koroke was rather disappointing at Julershe last- week. He was unlucky in „ one race, but on the second day had every chance. „'.;."'■■'- . . :", Hyde Park lnay go on and. win some -•good handicaps in the North. He should .be a'very ußeful horse next season. .;•" The imported'horse Lorieht-11. went his ■best race in the Dominion to date on the ..f-econd day of "the Te Kuiti Meeting, when he was second. to.Thursby. Most of his earlier friends had tired of him, for he had ".been'backed, and "well beaten several times. - • Lysander's- brother, Ceremony, is pleasing the track watchers at Wan'gnnui. He should be a high-class galloper, for, being a -..gelding, he does .'not carry the condition '." of hi? brother, ivho is entire,' and in- ;" fliiied to be ki'osb into the bargain. ■■• ?'Campbell.has taken service with the ,' iJiccaj-tor: trainer H .Nurse,'and- will do ;•• the,riding on his horses when the weights ..- permit. -He., started off-'.well at .-ishburton .'.with a win and, two seconds;, and he will ;'liave further opportunities' at'Trentham of . <lif;pii)ying his. iindoublei! ability in the ',"!." saddle. ■„ ■ . ... -. -Mr. G. Gould's young ■ mare ■■ Wink, by ■■"•Winkle frpm Judith,: foaled a-colt ta Paladin last spring. „The youngster has-grown Jnto a. Nice1 colt,-for whom I)is owner is '•'•hopeful of big things.; Wink-was a smart Z ..galloper, .'and[.she should, assiyt a tood „;;family in iher. stud career.; . ;-: ,W. ,G. Hobbs at Ricrarton Jias reeom- - missioned 'Honeycomb and Merivale, and .. .will start-.soon to get. them ready for ;spi ing racing.. Honeycomb has shown „.' some ' promise; and he should be iise- :'. ful next. season. The two-.tear-old J[e'ri--■'Tale is a resolute galloper, who has given -■■ • evidence of stamina. In the meantime/

however, her trainer is experiencing difficulty in building her up in condition. Roscrea will be E. D. Jones's only representative at Trentham, as Zarogoza has gone sore 'again, and will not be trained further but retired to the stud. - Captain Sarto will be ridden at Treuthain by A. S. Ellis. Silvermine has been scratched for all engagements at the Wellington Meeting. Royal Mint is galloping well' at Hawera. He goes well in bad-ground and may race prominently, at Treutham. , H. B. Lorigan is oat on the track again at Trentham after an attack of influenza. Kindle, who will be ridden by S. Wilson at Trentham, is the only member of his team in strong work.
