TURF NOTES

-• . ~_,,~^ (B y -TJIN ATOT DIP AGQTTPTTVT1 INUI K,XUt\OdiJt\liy\x STOCK EXCHANGE LAME J One of the candidates for the Great Northern Hurdles who has attracted attention since his arrival at Ellerslie is the much-discussed Stock Exchange, Unfortunately the Myosotis gelding had, up to the weekend, done only slow work on the tan, and he is reported to have been very lame in the near foreleg on Monday. Soreness at this stage does not inspire confidence in his prospects for Saturday, In recent months Stock Exchange has shown' greatly improved form, and he was one of the favourites for the Great Northern Hurdles. In his last five starts he had won three . times and run third twice. One of his successes was in the Hamilton Hack Cup, 11 furlongs, but his other performances were over the battens. In the Hamiltori Hurdles on May 20 he ran third to Erndale and Gold Cape. Transferred.—ln order to secure the better jumping facilities offering at Awap'u'ni; "the Wellington owner Mr. S, J.. fjqwland has transferred The Champ and Home Rule to that centre, Both-have-gained some experience in the role at Trentham, and have shaped very satisfactorily. Npyice. 'Chaser.—Thoraide is to have his first outing as a steeplechaser in StSSrifSSftSt^SS^vS kyriari, he should develop as a jumper. His dam, .June East, never raced, and the grandam, Wild Work, was only a modest-WinnQl._ For Second Day—Prince Shad was not accepted for on the opening day of the Dunedin Meeting, but he is to go south from Riccarton for the secOnd day. It is some time Since lie fienred under silk Fatal Injuries —The Australian _ *aiai , injuries, int. s"''"" jockey V. Courtney, who was fatally injured at Flemington, was to have been married a fortnight Jatei. He suffered head injuries when Hullabaloo fell with him in the Kororoit Hurdles, Hullabaloo crashed over a stablemate, Gay Invader but the latter's rider escaoed serious iniury. ffi Well.-Since winning over a m ,To s tToP!ina'nn Anril 2Q Constitumile at Te Rapa on Apiil M sl^ tlOll has had two OUtingS tOl two seconds, his last effort coming when Tweedsmuir beat him over 11 turlongs on the same course on May 20. The Mr. Standfast horse is reported to be very well, SO he should make a bold bid in the Cornwall Handicap, nnnblp Accentors There are a nuVnber Of dOUbTe acceptors among the hacks at Marten on Monday, but it is not improbable that they will start both times. The position IS more confusing where Moderate and Par Avion are involved. These two horses are in the Century Hurdles and Connolly Mnndiran and are to make two apnParancJs* J n ow vw n ™ c nrlff ~r h n -iap. One Start.—Victory Song, Who Signnailed his debut; under Silk by wmning the first division of the Dominion Hack Handicap at the Avondale Meeting in April, is down to contest the Second Jervois Handicap at Ellerslie on' Saturday, weighted at 8.5. By TTnntine Sone he is from Laudatory. but the dam is by Lapidarian from Sports Queen. Laudatory won a few races in the north after a late debut, and her offspring promises to go much further than She did. Destroyed.—Araboa, topweight for the Otago Hurdles on Saturday, broke a shoulder while schooling on Satur/I=Tr lasf a-nei wa« Hp^trnvpri day last, ana was aesuoyea. Arrived.-A yearling by Auctor and the brood mares BlandSOllg, Orange Pink, Fairest, and Young Lavinia hrve arrived from Australia. The 14-year,;-old mare Freezia (by Gothic), to-

OCULAIL") gelher with the stallion Lo Zingaro, arrived at Dunedin recently. Freezia will be mated with Finis at the Windr rtl f ark Stud before being brought Good Family.—Mr. O. Roberts, who originally raced Lady Tinkle, has imported from Australia a mare by Auctor from Polyxena. the dam being by Rock Flint from Podokes. This is a well-performed family, for among the progeny of Podokes were Chief j O y, Koda Pen, Panjandrum, Upoko Ariki, etc. Doubtful.—The Cardinal is viewed a3 a doubtful runner in the Great Northern Steeplechase. He was tender after racing at Te Rapa, and he did not make the trip to Ellerslie.with the main Waikato contingent, Jumping Blood.—The Wingatui trainer H. A. Andertan has under his charge a rising two-year-old by Medieva l Knight (son of Gay Crusader) from the Acre mare Vidi Vici, a dam by Acre from Erinagh, who px-oduced that gallant performer of a season or so ago, Erination. Nearly Won.—Baffin Boy, one of Mr. W. T. Hazlett's team racing in Victoria, nearly brought off a big surprise at Mentone last month.
