PREVIOUS WINNERS

The principal races decided at Wingatui this afternoon were the Jockey Club Handicap, which was run over two miles until 1874 when it was reduced to a mile and a-half, and remained at that distance until the last time it was run on the old Forbury course in 1898. When Boreas won the next year it was run over a mile and a-quarter, at which distance it remained until last year, ex- ■ cepting in 1902 and 1903 when the distance was one mile. Last year the distance was again altered, this time to a mile and two and a-half furlongs. Excepting from 1914 to 1917, and in 1931 and 1932 when the distance was seven furlongs, the James Hazlett Gold Cup has always been rnn over a mile.

JOTTINGS The Winton Meeting. Owners and trainers are reminded that acceptances for the first day of the Winton Jockey Club’s Meeting to be held next Friday and Saturday, close on Monday at 7 p.m. Suffering From a Cold. Half and Half, who won the Maiden race at Wairio last month, is at present suffering from a cold, and will not be a starter at the Winton Meeting. His' owner hopes to be able to start him at Gore the following week. More Jumpers About. The good fields obtained for the hurdle_ races at Wingatui this week and big nominations received by the Winton Jockey Club for the two crosscountry races to be run next week indicates that there are plenty of jumpers about this season, and the steeplechasing season promises to be more interesting than it has been for many years. Bad Luck All Round. Both High Glee and Silver Streak showed signs of soreness after running in the Dunedin Cup on Thursday and were not paid up for in their engagements to-day. In addition to this being bad luck for their owners, it was also unfortunate for the club, as both horses would have fancied, and the presence of Silver Streak in the James _ Hazlett Gold Cup would have made it a much better betting race. Totalisator Investments. The £19,961 10s handled on the totalisator at Wingatui on Thursday’ was the best total for Dunedin Cup day since 1930. The following shows the investments at this meeting during the past 10 years:— Ist Day. 2nd Day. Total.

Weather for Cup Meetings. The Dunedin Jockey Club has experienced a welcome change of luck in striking good weather for the three meetings it has held this season. February is generally looked on as one of the few months in the calendar that good weather can be relied on in Otago, but during the past ten years the club has had very mixed luck in regard to the weather experienced for its cup meetings. In 1928, 1929, and 1930 the weather was fine both days, in 1931 it was showery both days, 1932 and 1933 meetings were held in fine weather, in 1934 it was overcast for the first day and fine on the second day, in 1935 it was showery on Cup day and fine for the second day, both days were fine in 1936, but last year the first day had to be postponed imtil Friday on account of rain. The Friday was fine but cold, and_ on the Saturday it was showery again. Tauramai Recovering. Tauramai, winner of the 1935 Dunedin Cup,’ and who broke down badly when contesting the New Zealand Cup last November, is doing road work under the supervision of J. A. Rowland. The bad fetlock has cleaned up surprisingly well and an attempt will be made to prepare him for racing in the winter months.

Good Stake for Hacks. The Champion Hack Handicap to be run at Trentham next month will carry a stake of £SOO, including a gold cup valued at £SO. The distance will be a mile and three furlongs.

Reduced to “ B ” Grade. E. G. Eden was fined £lO at Westport for cutting in too sharply with Golden Moness. In endorsing this action, the Trotting Association reduced Eden’s license to B grade. His First Winner. W. Duncan, who a few seasons ago had no peer in Australia as a jockey, won his first race as a registered trainer, when Devonian scored in the first division of the Maiden Plate at Williamstown last month. King’s Play’s Record, King’s Play has the ability to add interest to the Inter-Dominion Championship contests. He began racing in 1935, and since then he has competed in 34 events for 14 firsts, nine seconds, and five thirds. , His total stake earnings are £3,143. ; Martara Wins Again. Private advice has been in Auckland to the effect that the New Zealand-bred gelding Martara was recently successful at Bombay. After winning the Wellesley Stakes at Calcutta on December 4 the gelding met with a couple of mishaps that prevented him from keeping some engagements, but he has evidently recovered form. Nothing Certain With Horses.

It is unusual for full brothers, let alone half-brothers, to bo similarly successful at the stud. / Among the lowpriced stallions standing in England this season is the 11-year-old Allagash, a half-brother by Friar Marcus to Blandford. Sold as a yearling for 6,000g5, Allagash did very little racing, meeting with an accident at three years. His fee is only 19gs, with dams of good winners taken half-price.

Melbourne Cup Winner Amiss. When The Trump failed to appear on the tracks at Caulfield a fortnight ago little significance was attached to his absence. It has since been ascertained, however, that the condition of one of his forelegs is causing his trainer, S. W. Reid, grave concern. The trouble is in a joint, and The Trump’s owner, Mr E. Ecclcs,, has since stated that he is doubtful whether the dual Cup winner will stand another preparation. Prizes for Trainers. At Hieleah Park (Miami, Florida) 1 this year there are again prizes of £125 each for the leading trainers in each of the three 15 days periods. There are also prizes for trainers whose horses win beyond sprint distances. Those who train winners at nine and a-half furlongs get £l2 10s a race; mile and a-quarter, £25; 11 furlongs, £37 10s; a mile and a-half or further, £SO. American trainers, as a whole, are credited with little liking for training horses for anything outside sprints. Alleged Doping. Betting had been in progress for some time on the Linden Park Welter at Victoria Park in Adelaide a fortnight ago when it was announced that the favourite, Dorawyn, had been withdrawn by the stewards, and that all bets made up till that time had been declared off The stewards opened an inquiry into “ alleged doping,” and adjourned it until the following week. The action taken by the stewards followed observations made by a racing official. Dorawyn is trained by C. H. d'ood for Mr S. Torr. Shortly before d r o6d was about to saddle Dorawyn dr the race the officials took possession of the bridle that the mare was wearing in her stall. Some substance was found to be attached to the bit, and this was the subject of an analysis. The Santa Anita Meeting. The Santa Anita Meeting opened on Christmas Day, and it was estimated that the attendance was 50,000. The principal racel was the Christmas Handicap, which carried a little over £1,200 h

for first place. There were 12 runners, and the race was won by the second favourite. He Did, who ran the mile in Imin 38 l-ssec, the first half-mile being run in 46 4-ssec. The totalisator turnover for' the day was £197,300, the investments on the Christmas Handicap totalling a little over £33,000, Santa Anita’s totalisator record for one day was made last year when the Santa Anita Handicap was run. The amount put through the machine on that occasion was £385.000. Good handicap horses are not over numerous /in America. With the entries totalling 93 for the £25,000 Santa Anita Handicap, and the minimum 7.2, only 27 were weighed above 7.13. Those on top were Seabiscuit 9.4, War Admiral 9.3, Rosemont 9.2, and Top Row 8.11.
