A FRENCH-BRED WINNER Brulctte, lhe winner of the Goodwood Cup, is a French-bred mare who was successful in last year's Epsom Oaks in the colours of Lieut.■Colonel C. W. Birkin, an Engliliman who races both in England and in France. She was taken over to England specially for the Oaks, and was sent back to France immediately afterwards to contest the Grand Prix dc Paris, in which she finished out of a place. In October she ran in the important Prix dc l’Arc Triomphe, one mile and a. half, at Longchamps, but again she failed to earn a place, the winner being the Prix de Diane (French Oaks) victor, Pari Cup. This season .she early showed better form m France, however, and at her first start won a long distance weight for age race. She was purchased by Lord Woolavington at the beginning of June, and in his colours ran in the beginning of June, and in his colours ran in the Queen Alexandra Stakes, about two miles and threequarters. 011 the final day of the recent Roval Ascot meeting-, and finished second to Brown Jack, who was registering his fourth successive victory in the race. The Stakes was her only start at Ascot. As a final point it i.s worth noting that Brown Jack, one of the most popular horses in England, won the Goodwood Cup two years ago, and was second to Salmon* Leap last year. Besides the Goodwood Cun, other important races he has won have been Ihe Ascot Stakse. Ebor Handicap, Chester Cup and Doncaster Cup.

TfOTES AND COMMFWTQ

II Luminary goes to Riccarton, \Y. Rennie will pilot him in th? Grand National Hurdle Race. | Raino and Royal Love should be | improved by a race last week, as both wen© short of fast work. During the current season Billy

Bov has had 17 races for six wins, four seconds, and two third placing's. A two year old parade will he- held in connection with the Otago Hunt Club’s meeting to be held on August 47. Arikira has had his Winter Cup engagement continued. The Limond gelding lias not raced since he failed at the Auckland winter meeting. y. ' ' The Shambles gelding Shatter lias been taken in hand again, and has built up nicely during a spell. lie promises to prove more than useful next season, whciyihe should add considerably to h'is wfriniitg account. Minerva! creatctTfi good impression by the manneWln which ho finished on m his vitM' at Riccarton last week, lie had Wfc‘*n off the scene since Easter, ajitLJtis run is considered very crKftrable under the circumstances. Judged on the number of horses in work (says a Melbourne paper), there is a good .outlook for the new season. At present 140 trainers have more than 500 horses in work. This time last year there were 60 yearlings in work, .while 70 have been paid up for in the new season. Michael Beary must have his own opinion about the Derby at Epsom. Twice in the last four years he had the chance of mounts and picked the wrong one. He had to choose between Dastur and Frrdaussi this year, chose Dastur correctly, but found April the Fifth blocking the path to victory. J. McLaughlin is progressing well towards recovery from his illness, but is still unable to leave his home. No final arrangements have been made about Prince Pontbal s and St. Bernard's contemplated trip to Australia, but at present there does not seem much likelihood of their leaving on next week’s boat.

' At a cocktail party given by the i Duke of Marlborough a few nights before the English Derby the guests received a card which, had the Duke's colt Andrea won the blue ribbon, would have, entitled each of them to draw £25 from the commission agent of their host. If Andrea had been placed second -or third, the vouchor would have been worth £5. Andrea ran unplaced. On several occasions' in past years the Winter Cup has been won by Jii.orses eligible to race in hack class, irtnd a .number that, cjjiye under that ’ heading are "engaged m the big mile event next-month. The list, includes Beacon Fire, Merry Peel, Ringing Cheer, Consono, Gay Court. Normandy and Saltpot, and recent form warrants several of them being regarded as the possible winner. Coma, who .was,, successful in the Point-to-Point steeplechase at W averly on Saturday, is a half-brother by Day Comet to. those good performers, Rewt Poto, Paraoa and j Prince Rufus, . being out of the Mcrriwee mare The Boyne. Poun was also of the same family, being out of a daughter of The Boyne Tic fences well and .stays on, but does not appear to possess the family pace. An English exchange says that tS miles from Epsom, a London cinema audience watched the finish of the Derby at the same ’instant as it was seen by those at* Epsom Downs. It add s that the Derby was televised for the first time in history, and the : audience saw the parade, the horses flash by the winning post, and Air ! Tom Walls leading, in the winner. ’ The horses, jockeys and crowd were ' easily discernible op the screen. ! * An English paper states that Ben Rosen, who rode such a great race r on Totaig in the Hunt Cup, was ' wearing a tie pin with the figure ' “13” inside- a circle of jewels. Brownie Carslakc explained the drir jrin of the adornment. “X was wear- • ing the tie pin. in India when Rosen 3 was with me there,” he said, “and • when he. won two- races with a horse • numbered ‘13 1 I made him a present 1 of it He’s been lucky ever since.” 1 r B. H. Morris will ride all F. ’>■ ? Jones’ horses at the Grand National t meeting, this arrangement having been made in anticipation of G. • Humphries leaving for Australia with 1 Silver Ring on August 5. As he v. 1 ‘ not now be required to leave eaib, 1 Humphries has postponed his depart- • ure till August 19, and he will be r able to ride throughout the Grand 2 National meeting. One of his rides - will be Beacon Fire in the Winter r Cup. i The steeplechaser, Airtight. did not perform satisfactorily at Trentham, and has been turned out. He is , unlikeb lobe further persevered with 2 .-j „ a racing proposition. Rising ten years Airtight, by Tree Lucerne from Country Air, had h* s hr-st A>v,n a 0 four year o-ld at New Plymouth m a 1 seven furlong- hack race. 1!e has been moderately successful over hurdles and steeplechase .country, and lias > won upwards of X2OOO in stakes.
