TURF NEWS IN BRIEF
Sir Charles Clifford won races with Trench Fight, Top Notch, Paper Slipper, and wild Chase on the opening day of last year's New Zealand Cup Meeting. L. J. Ellis, who rides Wild Chase in the New Zealand Cup tomorrow, has won the last two Cups on Cuddle and Fersen respectively. Argentic and Might ore the only two horses engaged in the New Zealand Cup tomorrow who were among the starters in the race twelve months ago. The Melbourne Cup Meeting will be concluded at Flemington tomorrow. The Winiamstown Cup,1 the last of the big spring handicaps in Victoria, will be decided tomorrow week. Passaform, who figures in the field for the Welcome Stakes at Riccarton tomorrow, is a half-brother by Balboa to Tauramai. He will race in the interests of Mr. W. J. McLaren, of Riverton, who now owns the dam, Fairform. The Chokebore Lodge two-year-olds are evidently not up to the ordinary grade this season, as it is rare for the Clifford colours to be missing from a field for the Welcome Stakes, on New Zealond Cup day. Silver Ring's off foreleg has given much trouble and the old champion has been plastered and spelled for a time. He will not race at Riccarton and it is doubtful if he can be got ready to race at Auckland at Christmas, says a Gr«ymouth report.
