RACING AND TROTTING
MEETINGS TO COMB GALLOPING July 17:—Manawatu-Rangitikei Hunt.
July 24: S. Canterbury Hunt.
New Zealand-bred: The New Zea-land-bred Pearl Scott, by U. Scott — Pearl Parrish, won the third division of the Winter Cup Handicap at Perth on July 12. She was driven by H. H. Richter, and paced the 12 furlongs at a 2.17 to the mile rate.
Back Again: Bronze Eagle, once again in the care of his old trainer, C. Tasker, is doing steady work at Addington, and should be in good order for racing in August. Bronze Eagle is one of the most popular horses racing. He failed to win a race during the season after a bad’ set-back early in the year, but he may be profitable, to follow in the new season.
Names Claimed: In a recent list of names claimed are the following:— Loyal Lady (1942), by Man’s Pal from Broken Rule; Straight Rule (1940), by Straightcourse from Broken Rule; Montezuma, by Battle Song from Praise; Olga’s Choice, by Irish Lancer from High Tor; Sandals, by Papei’ Slipper from Charmaine; Straight Drive, by Winning Hit from Differential; Swimalong, by Battle Song from Raphis; and Trench Mortar, by Trench Fight from Hihiko.
Straight Bat Retires: The three-year-old filly Straight Bat, by Cricket Bat from Winsome Hind, has been sold to Mr D. Gould,who intends to retire her to the stud and to mate her this year with Battle Song, Straight Bat, who can claim to be one of the best-looking fillies trained at Chokebore, showed promise of developing into a big winner, but although she won two races she failed to race up to her brilliant, track ability.
Betting Restrictions Lifted: On condition that belting on inter-State events is not allowed and the number of bookmakers operating at its meeting is not increased, the New South Wales Trotting Club may permit betting on races within the State, says the “Australian Trotting Record.” Mi’ J. Curtin, Prime Minister of Australia, is reported as stating that the variation had been made because of the club’s faithful observance of the undertaking given last year to ban from the meetings betting on events conducted elsewhere. This had caused a decline in the club’s revenues and had compelled it to realise on reserves invested in Commonwealth bonds to carry on its limited number of meetin Ss. _____________
