Boyd and C. \V, Boyd guilty of corrupt practice by the concealment of the real ownership of the horses Spearform and Mandate, the three judges appointed by the executive committee of the New Zealand Racing- Conference have disqualified the former for one year from November 30, and the latter for two years. 1 he allegations were previously- considered by the Wanganui district committee, who found that the two horses were owned and registered by E. O. CBoyd. The committee’s decision adedd that the members “viewed with great disfavour the way the horses have been raced and controlled by C. W. Boyd since August, 1929, under authority from E. O. C. Boyd ” After considering a technical point referred to by the Wanganui committee, the judges ruled that the question be dealt with as an appeal. The evidence from Wanganui was considered, and the judges heard the testimony of C. W • Boyd and his son, E.. 0. C. Boyd. I be finding contains the following: 'F have come to the conclusion that the evidence establishes beyond question that C. W. Boyd is m fact the real owner of Spearform and Mandate, and that the registration of E. O. C. Boyd as owner was nothing but a device instigated by <*. \y. Boyd to escape disabilities which prevented him from racing the horses in ris own name. Sue 1 action amounts to corrupt practice. Inasmuch as E. O. C. Boyd consented to the deception, we find both C. W. Boyd and E. O. C. Boyd guilty of corrupt practices.'’ WORLD’S RICHES 1 RACE OWNER V HO WON /Ji8,540 PASSENGER ON THE MALOLO The distinction of being the owner of a horse which three y ears ago

won the wealthiest race in the world belongs to Mrs E. S. Hobson, of Ventura, California, who is a passenger on the MifloJo-, The horse w'a's Crystal Pennent, which in 1928. won the Coffrotli Handicap at Teajuna, Mexico, earning: for its fortunate owner a purse of jQ 18,540, at that time the world’s record stake. This race has lately been transferred to the course at Aguacalci.enti, Mexico, and last year the | stakes were- worth no less than 000. Mrs Hobson’s estate, Rancho Casitas. embraces 7500 acres of mountainous country , on which she maintains from 200 to 300 horses, which are bred for polo .and hurdle racing-. The ranch is managed by her son-in-law, Mr Walter Hoffman NOTES AND COMMENTS Duellona, by Paladin —War Lady, has been retired from racing-. Some of the horses racing- at Feilding will do bettor in the near future. Jaloux and Azalea have both lx:on going- on the right way at Riccarton since the X.Z. Cup meeting. Egypt, the brother to Desert Gold, was repre.sented by a winner at Rand wick on November 14. Royal Saxon is being schooled over hurdles at WVngatui, and is said to shape very promisingly. Sharp Thorn has been treated to a spell in the paddock, and will be left out for a couple ofmonths. Cricket Bat will be raced at the Manawatu and Wairarapa meetings. He has been doing well since the Cup meeting. Karaka hurt one of her legs when she won at Riccarton, but is again doing- strong work. She worked with Spoon, who looks a much improved mare. Tigerism (Grandcourt —Tigeroy), who used to be trained at Hastings for Messrs D. H. McLeod and C. H. Slater, is now under the tuition of J- Proctor, at Fox’ton. From Riccarton Compris is reported to be looking very well at present and probably a better librse than when ‘winning at the recent C.J.C. meeting. J. Tilson is again doing riding work at Riccarton and has made a complete recovery from the effects of his fall on Lancer during N.Z. Cup carnival. The news that T. Metcali has been making- progress from the result of his fall at Riccarton will be very pleasingly received by his many friends in the racing world. Tt is stated that the attendance at the Melbourne Cup had only been exceeded once, in i<_>i6, and the number of ladies’ tickets sold was a record. W . Pascoe has severed his connection Avitli \ . H. Ciillett’s stable and avill probably retire from the saddle after tbe holiday meetings. Pascoe finds it difficult to keep down to a riding weight. F.nwood. winner of the Win ton Trial Stakes, is the first of the progeny of \\ oodend to w in. Mr A. Chisholm, of Otautau. imported both Woodend and Sabot, dam of Ell wood, from England. Sabot is by Fowlingpiece, a son of Carbine. It is reported from Dunedin that Mr Corry White, of Omakau, has leased Silver Paper from Mr J. Faulks, and is now training him with Greenaway and other members of his team on the Omakau racecourse. It has not yet been decided as to whether Riri. the full-brother to Chide, will be a runner in the Auck land Cup. So far Riri has not giver, indications that his prospects at Ellerslie can be considered in a favourable light. Shining Gold is the name that hal>ceii selected far the three year old son of Arausio and Gold Light. He is the second* production of his dam, who .-. previously produced a full-brother to 'Shining Gold, and who last season was associated with Chief Ruler. Second Wind carried 0.7 when he won the \VUliamsiuwn .Cup on November 14 and ran 1 2 furlongs in 2.35 L The 'Melbourne Cup winner, White Nose, was unplaced with 8.0. The Caulfield Cup winner, Denis Boy 8.4. started favourite and finished well back outside a place. The win marked Second Wind’s second - success in the 1 race.

Apropos of Phar Lap making- a long: journey to Mexico it is not gnoerally known that Obligado established a long: distance record when he raced in this country Obligado was bred in South America and purchased in England as a yearling- by the late Mr G. G. Stead and then brought out with Benzoin. It is reported that backers were rather diffident about patronising the. new, betting system of straight out and a place totalizator at Cheltenham, South Australia, recently. Th.cy were just feeling- their way and therefore it was not by any means a favourable day for the innovation to be given a proper tryout. The officials of the club arc confident, however, that they have struck the right note. The Aga Khan’s son, Prince Aly, met with an accident while returning from Newmarket recently, his car coming into contact with a bridge and telephone pole, lie apparently did not receive much injury, as he was able to ride work on hte tracks next morning. In connection with the public displays of Prince Aly in the saddle a number of English sporting writers are veqy favourably impressed. J. Pike’s opinion of Phar Lap may be worth, while, even though it lias not been published here or broadcasted for the benefit of the A merican s (say s a Sy duey wr i ter). He said quite definitely on his return to Sydney that in another half furlong in the Melbourne Stakes Concentrate would have beaten Phar Lap. In the Melbourne Cup, when the pace was really on over the last mile, Phar Lap, according to Pike, was flat out and only could hold his place in the middle of the field. Over the concluding stages he was not knocked about when the rider knew it was hopeless.
