Star Stranger’s brother Star God, ■•• who started a hot favourite in the Sydney Carp, will not race lor sonictime owing to a log being injured during that race. This was nil nnfortunato occurrence for the connecliections as well as lor the trainer C’. O’Rorko. who nas coufident of victory. However, the general opinion is that under any circumstances lie would not hare beaten Gwilliain G. This is a true story of an incident that happened on the Riverton racecourse on one of tho mornings of the recent meeting (says tke “Southland Times’’). An enthusiastic northern follower of racing was looking over tho course, paying particular attention to the jumps. When lie came to the jump opposite the grandstand he snorted with, contempt and declared that a man could easily clear it. To prove his words lie took a fly ill" leap. Ho cleared it beautifully hut next moment was floundering m a couple of feet of water. Salvador, who sprang a surprise on the majority of those who thou "lit they had assessed the two-year-old form at Randwiek. is . a half-brother by Uiyoh to Eurytlunie. He won the, first division of the 'Wentworth HancUcap. Ue h a d a Victory at Warwick Farm, to Ins credit', but had gone out of favour because of failing since that meelin£\Vhile Gray’s riding had much to do with tho victory of Lady Quex m the All Aged Stakes at Avondale on Saturday the manner in which she disposed of Paganelti and others made it very clear that on the day she was the host sprinter of the field, .(writes ‘-‘Whalebone.’’) Paganelli was backed down to an even money proposition, but Lady Quex was at very, little better price, her recent form showing her to be one of the best 1 sprinters in the land at the present time. In the race Wild Time: was out sotting the pace, with Faga belli, fourth, '.and then third, buo Lady Quex was behind him. One after another they made their runs, hut Gray sat still and waited with Lady Qnex till less'than a furlong from home. Then, when the others were finishing their run, along came Lady Quex, who eventually won hv half a, length. It was a fine finishing effort, and she ran the six fur- .• longs with 9.5 in tho saddle in 1.13. The record for the race is- held joint!v by Tamatete and Thespian, who deadheated in the race in 1923, when the pair covered tho journey in ] 12 2-5. Lady Quex is a fonr-year-old mare by Lord Quex-Whito Clover is owned hv Mr. W.' 0. Emery 'and trained at New Plymouth bv E. George. She is proving a good proposition to her owner who paid ,only 150 guineas for her as a two-year-old before she had raced. r The biggest scale riding fee earn- . ‘ed at the A. J.C. meeting was the £246 17s. that went to J. Simpson

for steering Gwilliam G home first in the Sydney Cup. Tho next best was £239 10s., which 4V. Cook drew for his win on .Tlio Doctor’s Orders; in the Sires’ Produce Stakes. Then D. Munro lifted £157 9s. .as rider of Venetian Lady in the Doncaster Handicap, while .). E. Pike secured £llß Bs. of easy money for bis armchair jaunt on Pliar Lap in the St. Leger Stakes.
