TURF NEWS IN BRIEF

'■■■■ Sleeveless is the first three-year-old filly everto win. the Anniversary Handicap on Wellington Cup Day at Trent-, ham, but that did not deter investors pending her out favourite. # iThe late dividend window m the kiosk at Treritham will be open at 10.45 a.m. on Monday for the benefit of those, who did not collect on tickets today.' Told Bill, Quadroon, and Florence Mills, all progeny of the Lord Quex mare Lovemateh, have been notable winners On the Trentham course. : Tliough only Mr., H. H. Pharazyn's risme appears in race cards as Old Bill's owner,, the horse is jointly owned by Mr. Pharazyn and Mr. M. Greenwood, who have raced most horses carrying the dark green jacket : in partnership. Mr. Pharazyn is at present living at Jersey, in the Channel Islands. Sporting Gift, Judgment, Filetto, and Morning Flight, who are engaged at Ashhurst on Monday, were winners , at the meeting last January. Sporting Gift did hot secure first money,.however, till some weeks later following a protracted inquiry, and the winning dividend was taken by the backers of Gay Chou, subsequently placed second, Auckland horses were a big failure at Trentham o Thursday, -the only race in which they made any showing being the Cup. Time and again the Wellington six furlongs track in par- ■ ticular has upset horses used to racing round reverse-way courses in the north, though there have been others who have handled Trentham without any bother.
