TURF NEWS IN BRIEF

(From "Vedette.")

SYDNEY, November 25. J. T. Jamieson, having lost his appeal to the V.R.C. committee, is arranging the disposal of his big team of horses. For the time being they are under the charge of H. B. Lorigan, who himself is leaving for New Zealand on December 6.

During this week Jamieson will have arranged most of the transfers, but the majority of his hoi-ses will go to New Zealand to spell during tne period. Closing Time, who was raced on lease by Jamieson, has had the agreement transferred, and he is to go to Melbourne. The smart Myra Tip has reverted to Mr. Hunter White, an^d in future will be trained by J. King. It is probable that Jamieson will lease his stables at Randwick and leave within the next few weeks for his old home in Auckland.

The action of the V.R.C. stewards and the disqualification have not been endorsed by the majority of experienced people. Some of Jamieson's owners have supported the idea in tangible fashion, for some •of the horses will be spelled until he receives his licence again, and other patrons will return- their horses to him when •he returns to the fold. Country Party, the cause of the trouble, is one of the horses who will", .go to New Zealand for a long holiday. •

The Warwick Farm.Meeting, on Saturday saw the much-improved Jaccuse beat a solid field of sprinters in dashing style. Until recently Jaccuse was regarded as just a useful galloper for minor meetings, but in liis present form he would be hard to beat in any reasonable race, even at Randwick. At the Spring Meeting there he ran two rather unlucky seconds.

Mainlaw, having his first race at Warwick Farm since a fair effort in the Melbourne Cup, was naturally too good for the weak opposition. As D. Munro rode him, he started at a price that surprised. He had the. race won from the first furlong.

The Hunting Song—Speechless gelding Dual Ratio led all the way again to beat a field of novices over six furlongs at Warwick Farm. He was at a long price, for only a few days before he had been well beaten in a much weaker field at Menangle, a ■ down-the--line meeting. Dual Ratio in addition carried 31b overweight, but this did not trouble him, for he had three lengths to spare at the finish.

One of Mr. E. J. Watt's numerous horses, Architect, ■vyas a tremendous tip for the second novice handicap at Warwick Farm. He was hurried to the front and stayed there. It was his first Sydney appearance, for he was one of the country team trained at Orange by G. Langham. The number of Mr. E. J. Watt's trainers approaches double figures, and his horses beyond counting.

Mr. R. Wootton had two sisters, Whimsey and Zulander, in the two divisions of the March Handicap at Warwick Farm. Whimsey was narrowly defeated by Jeanne d'Arc, but Zulander beat the Limqnd colt Linklet in the second division: Linklet ran very green,' and -when he'had his race.won began to 'stare about and ceased to take an interest .in: the race. Accordingly Zulander came along and beat hinr rather easily. -Linklet is. a ■big overgrown cplt and might be more solid with agei His "performance oh Saturday,,alLtlie same, was disappointing.

-The Southland Racing Club made a profit of about £200 over the one-day Spring Meeting. . . : ; Last year five favourites won on the two days of the Feilding Spring Meeting, but at the recent meeting there was only one favourite : success each day, .a. discouraging record for investors. ■•'■■;

It is unusual-to see roan horses racing these days,/but two" of the colour, Erebus and Laughing Lass, were winners at Feilding. Laughing Lass, except in colour, bears a resemblance to her sire (Laughing Prince). Wagner, a two-year-old, colt haubrother by Siegfried to Gay Court and Blue Boy, made a promising debut in running third at his ■first appearance at Feilding. for he was unlucky in the running. He is owned by his breeder. Mr. R. H. W. Holden, at whose stud Siegfried stands. Tout le Monde recorded another mediocre performance at Ashburton last Saturday, and it is not likely that his engagement in the Auckland Cup will now be proceeded with. Roaming showed a good turn of speed in the closing stages, of the Lagmhor Plate at Ashburton last Saturday. It was his first display o£ form and a winning turn should come soon for this Nightmarch three-year-old.

The young Riccarton trainer A. Holmes, better known in. the lightharness sport, produced his first three gallopers at Ashburton last Saturdayand they made promising showings. Note Issue and Cheap Money both secured' places, and Hasta might have done better had she jumped away with the field.'. ■-...■■

Although a scar on one of his knees is' still in evidence,' Wino has made a good recovery from the. mishap that occurred to. him on" the eve of the Riccarton carnival. He is again in strong work, with a view to racing at Waikouaiti and- Oamaru. ;

Miracle had every chance in ths Highweight.Handicap at Ashburton last Saturday, but after being well placed to the straight .he failed to run on. He has' beeri turned out at Longbeach for a long spell in the hope that he will develop improved form with age. Call Boy. winner of the 1927 Derby, and who was subsequently bought by Sir H. Mallaby-Deeley for £60.000, has proved such a failure at the stud that he has finished his career in that raspect. For several seasons Call Boy's fee was 400 guineas, but, .although Jt was reduced to £48 last year, -only five, mares, wer? entered on his list.
