IN MONDAY'S FIELD

PRIVY SEAL AT AVONDALE (Special from "Early Bird.") AUCKLAND, This Day; A few fresh two-year-olds promise to line up in the Nursery Handicap on the concluding day of- the Avondale Meeting on Monday,, and their presence should assist in building tip the field with the youngsters lefj; in after today's Avondale Stakes contest. Last year Stretto defeated Anion and Gallio in the Stakes, and the latter won on the second day, indicating .'that placed form today may have a direct bearing on Monday's handicap affair. ■ Perhaps the most interesting candidate reserved for Monday is Privy Seal, a daughter of Lord Warden and Palestrina. She was in the classic the first day, but one niorning she met with a slight mishap on the track at Te Awamutu and < she was. withdrawn from the Avondale. Stakes about a month ago, it being considered that she would be set back by her trouble. However, the Ally )was back on the track in four or five days, and ,tnough in the meantime she had been taken out of the Avondale Stakes, her owner caught the entry" for the second day. i Privy Seal is trained by W. Stone, and as this trainerj has-' had great success with early ttto-year-olds it is only natural that there [should be ,unusual interest taken in his representative for spring racing this season: This interest was stimulated when the filly began sprinting before many youngsters had Taeen introduced to a racecourse, and as she showed plenty of speed she was sorted out months ahead for the Avondale Stakes, i Then came the decision to scratch. ', Stone last year supplied the best two-year-old in Stretto, and earlier he; scored successes with Supremacy and Royal Ruler. He may add to his record on Monday with Privy Seal. ; , c , Other interesting youngsters engaged in Monday's! race are three Aus-tralian-bred colts-JDisturbed, by - Excitement from Restful, Highborn, by Baralong -from. Nobility, and High Sea, by Heroic from Lady .Seaborn. These were - purchased fpr 200 guineas, 180 guineas, and. 230 guineas respectively at the last Sydney yearling sales by Dr. W,.'C/<Rihg, who was stated to be acting on behalf Of an Auckland syndicate Doubtless'this sportsman was hoping to find them- another as good as Bronze Eagle* a colt he picked up cheaply as a yearling and who sub- . sequeritfy proved to be one of the fastest horses, seen for a long time. There was another youngster purchased last autumn in Sydney in the 200, guineas Colt Silver Glow, by Excitement from Sundance, but apparently v he is notto race yet. The appearance of the trio* if started on Monday; should be, most interesting, with special attentionfocused upon the colt by Heroic, in view of the great I success of this sire's' progeny across the Tasman. Other fresh two-year-olds that may line up on Monday are Huntingmore, a brown colt by; Hunting Song from Curraghrnore, Trilliareh, by Tea Tray from the Archiestown mare Archileen, j and the grey, filly White Foam, by Vaals' from Rehutai, jThe last-named was! in the parade, in the mud at the Paku-I ranga fixture and showed some pace. While Privy Seal should be the hardest; to beat on Monday, any of the placed horses in .the Stakes this afternoon should alsd be in the forefront! if they line up. ,
