Included ir Distinction’s three wins last seasor was the Hawke’s Bay Guineas, th( place-getters being Sweet Nymph anc Liebestraum, and he was placed in 1!

of his 16 starts, 11 times in succession. His placings included a second to Liebestraum in the New Zealand Derby, in which he finished strongly to get within half a head of the winner. A journey will be no trouble to Distinction and he should be prominent in some of the season’s rich handicaps. Hurdles Candidate Boolamskee did not get a good passage in the Jumpers’ Flat last Saturday until an opening came his way on the rails near the finish. He will be dangerous in the Grand National Hurdles if the track is at all soft.
