To-day’s Racing News

Galloping MEETINGS TO COME. Sept. 13.—Marton. ; Sept. 16. —Ashburton. Sept. 21, 23.— Wanganui. Sept. 21, 23.—Geraldine. Sept. 30.—Kurow.' Sept. 30. —Napier Park . Should be Profitable: Cherry Queen has been leased by Mr G. J .Barton and' carried his colours, when she won at Wingatui on Saturday. Palantiia: Has been treated to a holiday since the Grand National meeting. She has built up a bit during the spell and is in fine healthy condition for a future campaign. Tea Garden: Has been entered for his first hurdle race at Ashburton. From the jumping point of view, the best horse is Royal Limond, but Nightcap, on his home course, will take a deal of beating. Knight of Australia: No horse being trained at Te Awamutu has made more rapid progress in his general appearance than has Knight of Australia. He has put on condition and built up into a far more impressive-looking horse than was the case a few weeks ago, says a northern writer.

Not Himself: . Southdown has been nominated tor the six furlongs hack race at Ashburton, and in ordinary circumstances he would be widely fancied, but he has been walking very stiffly behind in the last few days and quite evidently is not in the same condition as he was on the last day of the Grand National meeting.

Sir Richard Breaks Leg: Sir Richard broke a leg at the double in the back stretch, while contesting the Otago Hunt Cup on Saturday. It was found necessary to destroy him.

Should Pay His Way: My Money has grown into a solidlooking three-year-old and gives every indication that he will more than pay his way during the season.

Manawhenua: Arrangements have been made to ship Manawhenua to Melbourne on September 15, and with a few fast work-oqts before he departs his condition should be just about right to begin racing shortly after his arrival on the other side.

Caliente: This filly is bred the right way to gallop, but is a shade on the small side, and this will not be to her advantage when required to race in big fields.

Promising Effort: Charmaine was fighting on at the finish of her race in the Tally-Ho Handicap and gave indications of coming back to winning form.

Conditions Against Them: Salmo Saiar and Waterpower were both anchored by weight and sticky going at Wingatui on Saturday. A Fine Record:

Autopay has now won £7743 in prize-mbney. Of this total <>. has been earned in New Zealand, and £3308 in Australia. In 77 starts he has had 20 wins.

Going Along Nicely: Foreign Queen, who disappointed at the Grand National meeting, is stated to be none the worse for her efforts there, and she is being kept up to her work at Woodville. She is going along well, according to southern reports, and should again make her presence felt early this season.

Polydora and the Cup: Polydora was the last of the 48 New Zealand Cup horses to have her name entered on the list. According to all reports trainer H. Nurse was not anxious to have her in the Cup, let alone run, but her owner, Mr G. Hall, insisted.

Kakara Returns to Form: The stable from all accounts did not entertain a high opinion of Kakara’s chance in the Tally-Ho Handicap at Wingatui. As a matter of fact, her owner, Mr G. J. Barton, walked, .towards the totalisator with the object of backing Charmaine, but on noting the short price she was. showing twisted and put a couple of pounds on his own mare and so gathered a handful of notes worth over half a century.

Touring Surprises: < No one seemed to know much about Touring except his immediate connections when he was saddled up for the- Hunters’ Flat at Wingatui on Saturday. When it came to business Touring forced the pace and really won all the, way. He is a five-year-old gelding, got by Tractor from Andante, by Clarenceux from Chantress, by The Officer —Lullaby, by Apremont. With such a pedigree, Touring should be heard about in the future.

Bred the Right Way: King Musk, who is getting through a lot of useful pace work at Ellerslie, is steadily rounding up into racing shape, and will be given a run at the spring meetings. He has grown into a. solid-looking three-year-old, and on the few occasions that he, has been splinted over a few furlongs has shown that he possesses plenty of speed. By Musketoon from Queen Arch, both good performers in their day, there is every prospect of King Musk developing into a galloper above the average when he is properly seasoned. New Sire Arrives:

Magnus, a stallion by The Tetrarch from Princess Dorrie, by You’’ Majesty from Doris, arrived from London last week by the Rangitata. He was acquired by Sir Charles Clifford .from his cousin, Captain Charles Moore, of Tipperary, Ireland, and is to take up stud duty at Sir Chas. Clifford’s stud, Stonyhurst, North Canterbury. Chief Ruler, and Tea Tray, who have both proved successful at the stud in New Zealand, are by The Tetrarch. Magna, was bred by Mr J. B. Joel, and his dam, Princess Dorrie won the One Thousand Guineas and Oaks in Mr Joel’s colours in 1914. WELLINGTON CLUB’S MEETING. WELLINGTON, September 5. An attractive programme is offered] for the Wellington Racing Club’s

three-day Spring meeting, next month. The extra day will be on the middle day, Saturday, when fixtures will be the semi-classic Trentham Stakes of £350, for three-year-olds, one mile; and' the Victory Hack Handicap of £3OO, on e mile and a-quarter.

NEWS FROM SYDNEY

SYDNEY, September' 4.

The last of the New Zealand horses for the Spring racing carnival, Bay Tree, Inflation, Cottesmore and Beaconsfield, disembarked from the Wanganella to-day in good order, despite rough weather during the trip across Tasman Sea.

Both Peter Pan and Silver Scorn are still under a cloud. The pair were given strong gallops this morning, and went satisfactorily, but neither was free in its movements during walking exercise afterwards. It is believed that there is the same trouble in each instance, and that it is purely muscular. Autopay showed, signs ,of soreness after his race on Saturday.
