MARTON STAKE-WINNERS

HALF-BROTHER TO PAHU

A feature of the Ran^itikei Hunt Club's Meeting at Marton on Wednesday was the allowing made by several horses who have never previously raced at totalisator meetings. Two such horses in Pango and Arikitea were winners, neither of them in the maiden event, and three others" in Fair Glamis, Sangay, and Acron filled minor places.- This is surely a remarkable record for a meeting in the Dominion in recent years, Pango, who was successful in the Closeburn' Hack Flying Handicap, is a four-year-old half-brother to Pahu, being registered as a brown gelding by Nigger Minstrel from the Sarto mare Cinnamon, and being owned by Mr. J. Brice, of Marton. He won really well, but the opposition ranged against him was very moderate. In the same race another horse making his public bow was a poor third. This was Acron, a five-year-old bay gelding by Rangifciro from the Elevation mare Altitude, a descendant of Mermaid through the Water Queen branch, which has not been specially successful when compared with- i^yeral of the other branches of the family. He is owned and trained by F. W; Davis, of Woodville. Arikitea; the winner of the Glenraore Ladies' Bracelet Handicap, who came away .over, the closing stages; o£ tho mile and a: quarter and completely left his field' to «core/by. five lengths, is a six-year-old ichestnut gelding by Danilof (halfbrotherr by Bonitorm to the Melbourne ■find .JSTevr Zealand Cup winner, Sasanof) from the Hallowmas mare Vivarini, a pedigree built'ujy Of good staying lines, Mr* A^rvAlexander. bred him, and he <s now. o¥ittd. by Mr. S. F. Besley, of Pa tea. Judgedißthroujph performance there, is some-promise in him. 14 this race Sangay. was second, beat ing. the ires* nearly.as easily as. she herself, #asV beaten.- She is a seven-year-old blatic mare by Gold Soult (son of Gold Crert) froni the Ghoorka mare Ghorii, *ih6 did some racing herself at hunt meetings in the district and filled minor vplaces on several occasions. . She isoynedby Mr. Ti R. Taylor, of Feild ing, and thus carries the same colours as her dam used to race in.

Fair Glamiß, second 'to;. Plajtina in the Vieiv Halloo Steeplechase, was also makinir a first "lappearance. , He is a nine-year old ibajP; geldjns' by\ AH Red from a SouVegter inarci ';■ H& name was wrongly giveTS'*6n "the card' as Sii? Glamis. He h owned byr Mr. H. McGregor, of 'Turakina: Iri;'all .the performance of thiese new; horses wa,s jnoet nnußual,. even allowing for the general pooi;. quality of the fields, and it i» powiWe that more will^be hearH later on about bhe or two at least of them.
