NOTES AND NEWS

The sprinter Sun Up is at present in physic, and is being given a let-up. The recently-erected look-out tower at the head of the straight on the Takapuna racecourse was available for the Thames meeting, which was held on the Shore course. An uninterrupted view of happenings is obtained from the time the contesting horses make the far turn leading to the top stretch, and it promises to play a strong part in checking unfair tactics. The All Red mare Equalise, who so far has bcem a great disappointment, is now showing improved form on the Bulls tracks under the guidance of T. Coleman
