AUSTRALIA’S VI NOOK A ARRIVED AT MARYLAND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION New York, Sept. 28 A message from Laurel in .Maryland states that Winooka arrived today in excellent condition after four days of rail travel. T he Australian horso has a specially prepared stall at the Laurel race track. DOING SOLID WORK Feu horses at Ellerslie are doing better than King- March, who is getting through a solid preparation in view of his engagements at the Avondale meeting next month. This horse has not won a race for some considerable time, but his second to Spcedihint in the Jcllicoe Handicap last month was a useful performance, and he may do better now that the going is getting tinner. The fact that King March is always running- on at the end of his races is a bit in his favour, and he will be well suited by the long straight at Avondale. AUSTRALIANS IN ENGLAND The Australians have been doing well in England recently. One of them is Stanley Wootton, who saddled up three* horses at Kempton Park last month. and won with each of them. Oil the second day B. Ro6k, A. Smirke and J. Crouch, who are apprentices to Wootton, rode four winners among them. The other Australian referred to is Norman Scobie, son of the noted Victorian trainer, James Scobie. Norman is private trainer to Sir Charles 11\do. The stable won a double at Lewes, taking- the two chief events. At Birmingham three days later the stable had another success, making its sixtieth for the season. E NTTR ED AT A V OXDALI That consistent galloper All Humbug- has been entered for the principal handicap events at Avondale, and if taken north should give a goad account cf himself. Tie won

the Foxton Cup. rj miles, in June, but the opposition was not overstrong. All Humbug will be given a run in the Robinson Handicap at Fovton tomorrow. GOLD TRAIL IMPROVES Gold Trail is moving along nicely on the Hastings tracks, and has lost all signs of the dry * coug h that troubled her last season. PH A R LAP’S BROTHER Reports from Ricgarton state that Phar Lap’s brother, Friday Night, has grown into a good looking colt. He is not being- hurried, and will not be raced until the autumn. JUDGE AT FOXTON The judging- at Foxton tomorrow will be done by Mr M. B. Berg-in, one of the club’s stewards, in an honorary capacity. DOING GOOD WORK Royal Shift, Swift and Sure and Speed are galloping well on the* Hastings track in view of competing at the Wellington spring fixture. NOT YET' READY Havering- is again- a regular worker on the I lawera tracks, but is big in condition and will need some racing before he gets into racing form. UNLIKELY STARTER Southern reports’ indicate that Shatter is an unlikely starter for the New Zealand Cup. NAME CLAIMED The name registered for Mr \V. W. R. Kembail’s t\yo ycijr old Hunting- Song—Bachelor’s Picture colt is Bachelor Song. not Bachelor's Song-. A NOTABLE RECORD Fred. Dayis. trainer of Red Manfred, has a notable record in the Wanganui Guineas- He rode St Mark to victory in ißrjn, Renown hi 1900 and King- Billy in 1905. As 1 trainer he produced -Bjorneborg in 1916. Estland in 1918 and Highland in 1922. Highland ran in his own name, owing to the absence in England of the owner, Mr T. IT. Lowry. Davis also rode Daunt in the last Wanganui Derby in 11:89.7, this race being replaced the- following year by the Guineas. R. McTAVISFI’S APPEAL The appeal of the jockey. R. MeTavish. against the three months’ suspension imposed on him over his handling- of Cherry King in the Putiki Hack Handicap at Wanganui last. Friday will come before the Wanganui District Cpmmittce next Tuesday.

TURNED OUT FOR SPELL A Riccarton report states that Martian Chief has been turned out, following his unsatisfactory displays at Ashburton and Geraldine. HUMBUG S BROTHER All Spirit, o n the same mark as Merry Hunter in the Herrington Hack Handicap at. Foxton. is the three year old full .Brother to All Humbug. He bad. three races last year and won the TaonuL Nursery at Feilding in the autumn, beating Spiral and PukehouDRACULA’S POOR SHOWING Draeula had two ; i*uces last week at Geraldine. He ran into trouble on the first day, but there was no excuse for his poor showing on Saturday. At no y?silge of the journey did. he show his real speed, and it may be demonstrated soon that this was not his form. IN OPEN COMPANY Manetho took oh “open company On the second day at Geraldine. He began slowly, but a brilliant finishing run, which landed him in third place, suggested that he will improve before long oji any form he has yet shown. Manetho comes from a solid family, his . dam. Lovelorn, being the dam also of Nones, Mcnelaus, and Lovematch. all great gallopers, by Martian. TO VISIT' NIGHTM ARC! I The Elysian maiv Civility, a good performer a few years ago, will be mated with Nightmarch this season. NAME CLAIMED Mr J. R. McKenzie's three year old filly by Shambles from Bon Bord. the dam of Count Cavour and Gustavo, has been named Creaseless. She opened her racing- carec* at Geraldine, where she was started on each day of last week’s nmeting. She gave, trouble at the barrier and

wont out badly, but she showed a great turn of speed in Saturday's race, beng up with the loaders at the home turn, only to fode out in the straight. It wag a promising •effort, however, and with a little more experience the filly should win races. RIDERS FOR OAMARU Riding engagements fci the I\urow races at Oaiuaru to-morrow include the following: A. E. Ellis: Gold Knight- Shatter and Effozel. J. \Y. Jennings: Cup Bearer. Guarantee and Cleaner. G. Salt: Flower. G. Humphries: Delice. Custodian, and Shootist. A. Russell: June the Third and Tontrol. C,ERAL 1)1 X E INQUIRIES Mr G. N. McLrnn. stipendiary steward, instigated two inquiries at the Geraldine meeting- last Saturday. In the first A. F. Didham. nder of Kerbside in the Stewards’ Stakes, was called upon to explain why he did not ride his mount out. and lv’s explanation was accepted. In the second case, in which St. John was impeded by Grand Finale over the closing stages of the concluding event, it was stated by J. Dooley, rider .if the latter, that one of his stirrup leathers broke in the straight, and he was unable to keep liis mount straight when under pressure. This explanation was also accepted. HEAD OF JOCKEYS’ LIST a result of the five victories at Geraldine last week A. E. Ellis is now at the head of the winning jockeys’ list with nine wins for the season. B. If. Morris is second with six wins, followed bv S. Wilson five, and K. Voitre, A. Tinker, W. Pascoe and L. J. Ellis four each TO BE TRAINED BY T. GEORGE Negotiations were in progress at Wanganui on Saturday for T. RGeorge to take over Little Doubt from her owner, Mr O. Casey, who has tired of the disappointing Antagonist gelding- Tt is practically certain that Little Doubt will join up with T. R. George’s team. FOR THE STUD Charmeu.se recently suffered a recurrence of the leg- trouble which necessitated a long spell fo- h* r last year, and her trainer decided it was not wise to go on with her. She has been retired to the studbut a sire has not yet been selected for her. AN UNUSUAL HAPPENING The Chokebore stable is not likely to be represented in the McLean Stakes (says a writer in the Christchurch Press). Four of S;r Charles

t Clifford’s te am were nominated, and r all are in work, but the one selcetf ed, Knock Out, by W inning 71 it from Rivalry, has had to be eased up owing- to a skin trouble, and 1 none of the others is considered forward enough to make the trip.
