GOOD ONES MISSING

TRENTHAM FIELDS

VALPEEN'S LIKELY REASON

Though the Wellington Racing Club has every reason to be satisfied with the very large list of entries received for its Winter Meeting commencing on Tuesday week, the fields in the bigger events, particularly the steeplechases and hurdles, are not quite so representative of recent winning form as it was anticipated they might be. Not one of the winners over the country or hurdles at the Dunedin Meeting, for instance, are in the open Trentham fields, though Scrap has hack hurdle engagements; and the Auckland winners, Valpeen and Windsor Lad, are also missing. The absence of the Great Northern Steeplechase winner Valpeen, who also won the Wellington Steeplechase three years ago, was more or less expected, as his connections had stated that they would reserve their champion for the Grand National, which he has already won twice and in which he will emulate the three successes of The Agent in the early years of the race. AN ASTUTE MOVE. Valpeen's owner is showing himself to be one of the most astute men _ in the racing game at present. It is a very clever piece of work to keep the horse out of Mr. H. Coyle's hands—it may be assumed that this is the reason—for Mr. Coyle, almost alone, has not followed the lead of precipitously dropping this horse down to or near the minimum., Valpeen, if the C.J.C. handicapper follows his recent Waikato assessment with consistency, cannot be given much more than 10.0 odd in the Grand National, though he may be as good as ever and has won the Grand National already with. 11.13. Such is the quandary a handicapper may find himself in when the rule of best performance is ignored with a horse still capable of coming back. The Wellington Club is unfortunate In not having been able to secure the appearance of. this year's Great North-ern-winner, for Valpeen's absence undoubtedly detracts from, the interest that would otherwise have been taken in the Wellington Steeplechase. One would also have liked to see Black Banner,. Burwood, and Balybrit, the three main Dunedin winners, in the field but apparently they are also concentrating on the Grand National though Burwood for one may not be racing again this winter in the top cfas", so that he may have full opportunity of developing. Without these horses there is nevertheless a good field engaged in the Wellington Steplechase. Quite a number of the entrants are of doubtful soundness, among those in this category being Santoft (last year's winner), Nocturnis (last Grand .National winner) Arctic Star, Count Will Onyx, John Chariest Manawatu, and Survey; but there is a.probability of upwards of a dozen runners, which would be an ample field to watch. • LIKELY EARLY FANCIES. Among the early favourites for the raceTnfbe Bryce Street, Smiling Thru All Irish, Jolly Beggar, and John Charles Bryce Street gained many friends when filling o second place m the Great Northern Steeples, and he is ov that good sire of jumpers,. Little England Smiling Thru, the winner of n?L winter Steenles at Ellerslie, is not v^erybTg"butsfela capable Mumper and a real stayer. It is interesting to note that she Is being sent down alone as her ttablemate Irfsh Comet has no hPen accorded a nomination.- All Irish ran only once over, hurdles at EUerslfe for a* third, and in April he won over hurdles at Avondale, but he k ? better 'chaser who ran second. to Burglar twice at Trentham last v/m----ter and subsequently wonl- flte -Pakutrv more to his liking than the mS«5 uW 2i.il if he recovers from the soreness gf SotS SSm success at H.sUn ß s a twelve months spell., ■ . Erination does pot look a^true> or rather he is inclined to beat mm sllf over a distance -tar, hard puuing. Clarion Call will* find it hard to. win m front all the wayunder the weights he now-lets .but Red Sun will stay as well as anything if he manages . the country/- flashlight is a. prpmunhg vnunc 'chaser from'the south, and is'believed to be thoroughly sound .'Wain, has .a private reputaUon. Royal Limond is one of the notable omissions from the field. However, he h?s previously run. his worst races at Trentham, and, with Manawatu enKaled his stable has probably decided fofreshen him, up for the Grand National. Two. years ago he so missed Trentham and won the Grand. naThere are some additions for the July Steeples on the final, day. Among them. are Llitidusi. who ran second to Smiling Thru on'the final day at Eliprslie and is engaged.on only the last wo days at:Trintham, Punchestowii, who was second in the Otago Steeplechase, Power Chief, who won the Hunt Club Cup' at Ellerslie and may. deputise fcr' Manawatu, Monastic, who has nrevibusly won over the Trentham Country, and Artful Dodger, a winner at Wanganui. THE OPEN HURDLERS. The open hurdle races find surprisingly little South Island representation. The double Dunedin winner. Corban, is not engaged, and Scrap will be satisfied to run in hack grade only if he makes the top. In the entry of sixteen for the Trentham Hurdles on the first day the only southerners are Silver Sight ana Courtyard, the latter a most promising recruit to the game who won. a double over hurdles at Washdyke last month in his latest outings.- The .Winter Hurdles on the final day again nnds this pair engaged, with Monastic and Chaste as additions. The Great Northern Hurdles winner, Erination, is apparently to be set for the Wellington double, as he figures only in the Steeplechase on the first day. He has been entered for both the July Steeples and the Winter Hurdles on the final day, but this may be only a precautionary measure lest he is weighted too highly in the Winter Hurdles. „ Kilberis, who won the Campbell Hurdles on the final day at Ellerslie and was prominent most of the way in the Great Northern Hurdles, is somewhat strangely not engaged in the Winter Hurdles on the last day, though he is in the Trentham Hurdles on the first day and the highweight on the second day. It would seem that his cbnnections do not believe he is a true stayer. None of the Great Northern placegetters figure.in the Trentham Hurdles. Huskie, of course, is deceased. Erination is in the Whiter Hurdles, but Jolly Beggar's entries at Trentham are confined to the steeplechases. King's Archer, Killadar, and All Irish, other Ellerslie place-getters in the open class, are also not in the Trentham hurdle fields.

It is pleasing to note that Full of Scotch, who so decisively defeated the lesser hurdling lights on all three days at Ellerslie, is among the nominations for both open hurdles at Trentham. The Hawke's Bay Hurdles winner, Spender, is also among the entries, and other promising hurdlers in the lists are Small Boy, Charade, Aurora's Love, and Southern Blood. The best of the proved brigade are John Charles, Silk Sox, Donegal, Iddo, and Beau Gallante. The fields also contain that horse of a big private reputation at the game, the last Wellington Cup winner Padishah, who is entered for both open events; and Sunee and Middle may come in the Winter Hurdles after racing among the hacks on the first day.

BLUFFER PLEASES

SELKIRK THE BEST FIVE

(Special to the "Evening Post")

PALMERSTON N., This Day.

Heavy rain set in during Monday night and was still falling steadily during track work at Awapuni yesterday morning. The tracks were soaked and the course proper was closed. The result was that there was very little fast work, the great majority of the horses being restricted to pace work on the sand, or to easy exercise out in the oval. The galloping that was attempted was carried out on the trial grass, where the going was fairly good. Clarion Call was worked over a mile, as was Gay Molly, who is engaged at Dannevirke. The latter was not out after time but was anxious to increase the pace. She will be ridden by S. Wilson on Saturday. Aurora's Love was in front of High Peer at the end of six furlongs run in lmin 28 3-ssec, both travelling nicely at the finish. Quadroon, who looks a picture of health, bowled along easily in a sixfurlong task which took him lmin 37 l-ssec. His doubtful leg appears to be quite sound again. Warehi and Fine Gold were associated in- a three-furlong sprint which took them 43 3-ssec. Warehi appears to have put on a bit of condition during the last two weeks. Taumau was given an easy six, requiring lmin 16 2-ssec for the last five. He looks well. Selkirk was responsible for the best five of the morning, covering the distance in lmin 12 l-ssec. It was a nice effort. ~ , . The best half-mile was that of Bluffer, who ran the distance in 54 4-5 sec, which was a particularly, good effort. It will not be surprising if she wins a race during the winter season. * t , ~ Golden Ridge proved that he could handle the going by putting half a mile behind in 56sec. Tidewaiterbeat Baldric over five furlongs in lmin 17 2-ssec. They could have improved on the time without much effort. Cuisinier was clear of Merry Thought at the end of half a mile cut out in a tick under 56sec, the former going particularly well. Manawatu was outgoing pace work on the sand. He looks very well and at the end of his task took charge ot his rider and went on for another round. He should not take long to reach top form. . The following riding engagements have been announced for the Dannevirke Meeting:—S. Wilson, Gay Molly; N. Cavaney, Shining Hours; . G., «• TattersaU, Waterproof and Marjory Daw; W. J. Broughton has not decided whether he will be at Dannevirke or Waipa. ' '

APIA'S RACING SEASON -

The Apia Turf Club opened its 1938 season on May 14 and had a successful meeting, although the attendance and nominations were slightly below those of last year. Nine events were run off, and the president, the Hon. A. G. Smyth, was successful in winning a double with his gelding Smoky, who won the Pony Handicap, six furlongs, and then beat the cracks, Lady Siapani and Lepeti, and eight others over a mile for the Sir Stephen Allen Cup.

Mr. O. F. Nelson signalised his return to the Turf with a string of five young horses, but they were unplaced at the meeting.

MARIE'S ACRE RESUMES

The addition of Marie's Acre to the active brigade at Ellerslie will create a fair amount of interest, as this wellbred colt promises to reach the highest class. He has not raced for several months, but his form throughout the spring and summer meetings was .good and consistent

Marie's Acre opened his winning account in, the Maiden Plate at Avondale last September and later accounted for a useful field in the Pupuke Plate, one mile, at the Takapuna Meeting. The success in the latter event made him ineligible for hack races, •and his next outing was in the Railway Handicap at Ellerslie. In this race he put up a. sterling performance to finish third to Stretto and Ben Braggie. Later at the same meeting he ran third to Whirling and Stretto in the Newmarket Handicap, thereby showing that his third in the Railway Handicap was no flash in the pan. His next performance of note was his second to Tray Bit at Te Rapa in February last, and he has started only once since.

TURF NEWS IN BRIEF /

Wellington first-day weights are due to appear next Monday. There is a weight maximum of 12.0 to the Wellington Steeplechase, but no horse is likely to get that ewight this year.

The erection of the new mile barrier at Trentham has been completed. Outside marbles should no longer be an insuperable obstacle to success. Flashlight, Chile, Survoy, and Kahunoke are engaged in the hack steeples on the first day at Trentham as well as in the Wellington Steeplechase.

Acrobat, by Baralong from Circus Star, has resumed work with H. B. Lorigan's team. This Australian-bred two-year-old was not raced this season. He was gelded during his spell. Sly Fox, the three-year-old fullbrother to Sporting Blood, claims engagements at the Wellington Meeting after a six months' holiday, and his showings will be watched, as he has been entered for the Melbourne Cup.

Sporting Song has now gone in his sound foreleg and he has been turned put for twelve months.

Valantua, who has been entered for the Trial Plate at Wellington, is not eligible. He won a race at Otautau on April 9 worth £52 to the winner, which is £2 over the limit imposed in the conditions of the race.

Catalogue's spell is evidently not going to be so lengthy as at first intended, as he is entered for the sprints at the Wellington Meeting, and also for the Winter Oats on the final day.

Gay Rebel's nomination for the Whyte Handicap at Trentham is interesting, as this once promising performer showed the first sign of a return to form for a long time in running fourth at Tauranga last Saturday. He demonstrated a liking for winter conditions last season.

' 'Lady Montana is likely to claim early friends for the Whyte Handicap at Trentham. as she is the type of improving filly for such a race. She is brilliant on bad ground and there has been much merit in her latest wins. Redowa, a noted brood mare, died at Balclutha this month, at the age of 26 years. Redowa herself was a useful performer, and her progeny have won over £10,000. Among them were the Thompson Handicap winner Baldowa, who won £5300, Red Boa, Miss Redowa, and Redolent. Redowa ,was by All Red, but she was not in the Stud Book. Mr. L. Quinlan, widely known as an amateur rider, had his first success at Randwick last Monday week, when he rode Tweedside, winner of the A.J.C. Amateur Cup. Mr. Quinlan has now won the four established amateur races in the metropolitan area. He had won at Rosehill on Sabbath Shoon, at Moorefield on Ranchero, and afc Canterbury Park on Tredonner. It is reported that Mr. L. C. Hazlett intends to school the three-year-old filly Camerino. Like Wild Irishman she was sired by the Solferino horse Gustavo. Camerino is out of Call Bird, the dam of High Gear and Kelly the Crow, so she has more to recommend her than most for a jumping career.

JUMPERS SCARCE

POSITION AT HAWERA

(Special, from "Limited.")

HAWERA, June 21,

It is some years since Hawera has had such a paucity of jumpers as has been experienced in the centre this season, and as a consequence there has not been a great deal doing on the tracks recently. At present there are very few horses in active commission. B. La Pouple has Gold Glare in excellent condition at present, and the relative to Corowa is booked to race at Marton prior to going on. to Trentham. He is a much better actioned horse than Corowa with plenty of pace, and improved barrier manners should entitle him to respect in future engagements. Winsome Lu, who is not a good doer away from home, has come on well since racing at Otaki, and will represent L. George's stable at Marton and probably Trentham. George is also handling a good-looking youngster by Acre from All Amber, purchased by Mrs. M. Casey at the Trentham sales. Throwing to the Acre characteristics, he looks a likely sort. Student Prince continues to please in his schooling efforts. He is a quick and clever jumper but will not race over battens until after the New Plymouth Meeting next month. Notium is being kept in steady exercise since returning from Auckland, but nothing definite is known as to his future engagements. One Whetu, who was reported to have broken down hopelessly after competing in the Egmont Cup, is stated to have made a good recovery, sufficient to warrant his being put into work again. He is to be sent to T. Fryer shortly. Cynical Kid is an acceptor for the Waipa Meeting on Saturday, but his track efforts have been nothing to enthuse over. Gold Band has been kept going since winning at Foxton, and her next outing will be at Marton on July 2. , Silvanus, who races in the same colours, is on the easy list, and will not be required to start until the Spring Meeting at Waverley in October. Should G. Reid not resume training at Waverley Gold Band and Silvanus are likely to be shifted to Hawera, where one of the pair'may be placed in L. George's care. . Mr. F. Walker is giving Fafner a well-earned let-up. The Siegfried gelding has been extensively raced this season and the respite should be beneficial. - He is unlikely to race again until Christmas. No Doubt has been returned to his owner, and is not likely to be further persevered with. The promising Rabbi youngster Ramleh has been sent to M. Grogan's agistment farm for a spell. The Lord Quex—Lady Gen gelding Le Marquis has returned to the tracks looking particularly well after a spell. He is possessed of plenty of pace, and has been well cared for by his ownertrainer, B. La Pouple. Fiancee is making pleasing progress and will attract attention when she faces the starter next season. O. Cox is allotting Friesland plenty of steady pace work which he performs in his usual light-hearted manner.

ASHBURTON ACCEPTORS

(Bj Telegraph-Pres* Awoclatton.J ASHBURTON, June 21. Acceptnncea for the Ashburton County Racing Club's Winter Meeting, to be held on Saturday, and ■at which the win-and-place system of betting will operate, are:—

DANNEVIRKE FIELDS

AUSTRALIAN MARKET

N.Z. HORSES MAKE GOOD

The success of New Zealand-biDed trotters and pacers in Australia ■is creating a market for horses that have I passed the zenith of their careers in this country. Under the Commonwealth I system of handicapping, New Zealsfan horses receive liberal concessions, and this has made them attractive propositions for Australian sportsmen. During the past three years a big number has crossed the Tasman. ' Among them are Logan Park, Wrecker, Homeward, Rustle, Great Way, Tommy Dillon, Sunny Morn,, Vesuvius, Stand By, Torquemada; Cloudy Range, and Tempest. The most successful of the hors<es mentioned is Logan Park, who, despite the fact that he is 19 years old, won again at Wayville, Adelaide, recently. It was a 13 furlongs race, and Logan Park only had to register 3min 46 2-ssec to win. He returned a big dividend. Logan Park was bred by Mr. N. Cooney, at Glenavy, and was purchased before he was raced by Mr. J. McKewen, Dunedin. Early it was evident to astute judges that Logan Park would reach good company, and eventually the late W. J. Tomkirison. acquired him for Mr. A. L. Johnston, and the late Mr. R. A. Armstrong. Under Tomkinson's supervision he graduated to top class and won a heat in connection with the New Zealand! Trotting Cup. He is by Logan Pointer from Miss Burlington. Another horse that is doing well to Australia is the trotting gelding Rustle,, who won another race at Perth this? month; On a soft track he trotted) 3min 28sec to win over a mile and a! half. He was bred by Mr. W. Connelly at Mount Peel, and is by Nelson Bi:i-j gen. He won races under F. J. Smith. 1 at Auckland and for J. S. Shaw at) Addington. , i Of the number of pacers that haveJ gone to Australia during recent years* few were novices. Among them was.' Torquemada, who is a full-brother? to Indianapolis. He failed to reproducer his best with the colours up in Nevvj Zealand. He is a very fast horse, audi the Australian climate has apparently-; sweetened his disposition, for he nasi already won three races at Adelaide,! and looks like adding to his record.

OWNER'S AMBITION

TO BREED A CHAMPION

For several years it has been Mr. J. R. McKenzie's ambition to breed a trotter who will win the New Zealand Sapling Stakes. To New Zealanders this would seem a tall order, but American statistics show that it can be accomplished. The fastest time two-year-old pacers have registered for a mile and a half in the Dominion is 3min 21 3-ssec, which was recorded by War Buoy when he won the New Zealand Sapling Stakes in 1933. That is at the rate of 2min 14 2-ssec to the mile.. Had War Buoy been sent against the watch, at that time for, a mile he would probably have paced the distance in 2min lOsec. '

In America 21 two-year-old trotters have recorded 2rriin ssec and faster in a race, and have competed in. three heats over eight furlongs in one afternoon. That clearly demonstrates stamina as well as speed. Mr. McKenzie ' has already spent £20,000 in the last ten years in the hope of achieving his- ambition, and during his present trip to the United States he will endeavour to secure horses that will enable him to fulfil the purpose. He is confident -that with a careful' selection of stallions and brood mares from America and. systematic breeding he will succeed. The Aga Khan, who has had phenomenal success in English classic races, is quoted by him as an example of what scientific breeding.can achieve.

Already great interest is being taken at Roy don Lodge regarding the possibility of the American mare Air Flow -producing -a ' trotter of outstanding merit. She was a high?clas3: trotter, and her mating with one of her owner's American stallions in Gallant Knight or U. Scott is expected, to be a big success. '

As New Zealand is regarded as one of the best countries in the world for raising horses, it would seem that Mr. McKenzie is on the right track to breeding trotters of the calibre that have.made history in America.

ALL THREE PLACINGS

So far as can be. discovered, F. J. Smith's performance in training all the placed horses in the Mark Memorial Handicap at Auckland recently is unprecedented in the history of New Zealand trotting. It is not so in racing, however, as, besides the Masterton instance of Mr. .W. R. Kemball's horses just after the war, R. J. Mason trained Gloaming, Nincompoop, and Chignon, the placed horses m the Middle Park Plate, all owned by Mr, G. D. Greenwood, and C. Gieseler repeated the performance in a handicap at Gore with three horses all owned by Mr. A. Cambridge. In Smith's case the horses were in different ownership.

PEONY ROSE'S PROMISE

Peony Rose, a three-year-old filly who raced well at the recent Dunedm Meeting, was produced only twice last season for a first and a second. This term she has won four times and has been twice second and third three times in sixteen starts. Next season she is expected to reach the best company. ";■' ' ■■.':'■■ ; Peony Rose is by Robespierre from Paigle, by Night Raid from Rose Lady, by Rose Noble from Bed Charm, by Charlemagne 11. This family has produced good winners, the most notable being Black Rose, Blazer, Otto, Chancellor, Roseal, and Star Rose. Otto, Black Rose, and Roseal won the New Zealand Derby and Star Rose the New Zealand Cup, and Blazer was one of the fastest horses ever bred in the Dominion. Peony Rose was bred and is owned by Dr. William Robertson.

WAR BUOY RESUMES

REGAL A LIKELY NOVICE

(Special from "Irvington.")

CHRISTCHURCH, June 17. Frisco Boy, Frisco Lady, and Zingarrie, three of M. B. Edwards's team, are being spelled at the moment, but it is possible that if there are suitable classes the first two will be brought back to work in time to race at the local August Meeting. . Since coming to Addington Flying Helen has put on a great deal of condition and is now more robust than formerly, although she is by nature a lean type. Some of her track efforts have suggested that she has the ability to win races, and she is open to further improvement. Not a greal deal has been seen of Bonny Azure of late and she is doing most of her work op the roads at present, but it will not be long before she is being given more serious tasks. She is looking in excellent order and appears to be improved for her change. A brother to an outstanding pacer in Royal Silk, Silk King has been in work at Addington for some little time under J. Davidson, and while he does not impress as being really good, he has a nice turn of speed. Earlier in the season Princess Beverley gave promise of proving a trotter of more than average ability, and her racing has endorsed that opinion. At the moment she is being spelled, and she will not be asked to race again until next season, when it may be found that she is capable of going on to good class. There have been quite a number of local horses sent to Australia in recent weeks, among them being the novice pacer Kay Francis. She shaped well in her races here for several minor placings, but her lack of stamina counted against her. However, she has a fine turn of speed and should not be hard to place to advantage in Perth.

STAMBOUL DISAPPOINTING. By Frank Worthy from Trix Pointer, the dam of Arethusa and Wrackler, Stamboul was held in high regard last season as a two-year-oJd, but he has yet to race up to his reputation. Recently he was sold at a very moderate figure to a patron of A. Cranston's stable, and since being located at Addington has been responsible for some attractive work on the tracks. . Regal was responsible for a bold jshowing to run third at the recent [Ashburton Trotting Club's Meeting, land he promises to be in demand famong the maiden pacers engaged in {the Lyndhurst Trot Handicap at the {Ashburton County Racing Club's Meetling next Saturday. He is a bold type Eby Grattan Loyal from Jenny Bell, fend as he has had little experience she can be expected to make a great ideal of improvement on his recent showing. When trained earlier in the season (by R. B. Berry, Anna Wong shaped

well, and was regarded as a novice likely to leave ?thfe maiden ranks in a short time. ' However, she did not measure up to expectations and on the whole was most disappointing. Since she last raced she has been given a long spell away from the trades, but was recently put back in work, this time under A. Cranston. She looks in robust order to begin work and it is hoped that the spell will work the desired improvement. After his early good displays, when he showed himself to be a pacer ot high merit. Hare Rey did not train on as well as had been expected, and it was decided to give him a long spell from racing. However, he was recently taken in hand again by L. O. Thomas and appears to have derived a good, deal pf benefit from the course adopted with him. He is in fine order to recommence work, and it should not be long before he is in racing condition. MAY REQUIRE TIME. Zingarrie has long held the reputation of being outstanding among the two-year-olds, - but his racing to date has not endorsed that opinion. In.all his outings he has failed to begin correctly, and although he has shown rare speed when once on his feet, his inability to move off smartly has kept him off the winning list. He is a brother to Zincali, who was also a long time in settling down to serious Tacing, and it would seem that he will need a good deal pf experience before he is seen at his best Following a spell extending over several mpnths, war Buoy has been placed back in work again at Yaldhurst by M. B. Edwards. When turned out he was not showing his usual dash and there was a suggestion of lameness in his action, but he has returned to work in excellent order and apparently sound. Gamble, who broke down prior to the 'championship meeting at Addingtoni is progressing well, and although it has been reported that his racing days, are over, his trainer states that there is every prospect ot his standing up to another preparation. It is hoped to place the chestnut stallion back on the active list at an early date. War Buoy will probably be given his next outing at Addington next August, but it may be some time later before Gamble puts in his reappearance. Several, members of Mr. G. J. Barton's team are being treated to short spells at the moment, but Indianapolis, Golden Eagle, Bittersweet, Rongomai, Grand Mogul, and Great: Admiral are all being kept up,..tothe collar by. a course of road work. With the exception of Rongomai, who has returned to work after a speil,- the others have all engaged in recent' I 'racing, and art in good order. However, with August racing in sight, it was not considered wise to let them lose their present forward condition, and'they will b« ready to do useful tasks again when the tracks are better suited to fast work. It is some time since Grand Mogul showed his undoubted ability, but he has done really well dn recent weeks, and he gives every indication of returning to his best in the coming season.
