NOTES AND NEWS. There are many systems in racing, though it has never been proved that any i s a sure road to fortune. One that has many supporters, and which has consistently been in favour of the backers at trotting meetings lately, known as the .second start principle, again worked out satisfactorily at the Auckland Club’s meeting on Saturday. According to this system, one supports any horse that Lay run into a place (one, two or three) earlier in tue day and comes out in a later race. In the big twomile race Kewpie’s Triumph was first and Prince Pedro second, and they both competed later on in the mile and a-quartor handicap. Again they .ran first and second. The only otucr horses to support under this system were Cimarron and Our Summer, which ran second and third at then first start; in the next effort they : again filled the minor places, and showed a profitable return on the place-betting machine.

Bronze Eagle is reported- to liave been a trifle sore after galloping at Takanini on Saturday, as a .result, it. is thought, of striking himself during the gallop

Particulars are now to hand of - >e success cf ono of the thoroughbred purchases made by the South African owner. Sir Joseph Robinson, in New Zealand. After the 1932 Trentham yearling sales, Sir Joseph, then on a visit to the Dominion, bought three youngsters to join his team in South Africa. News of the success of the Paper Money—Philomela colt was cabled briefly at- the time. Mail advices show that the youngster, who is- named Wakatipu, rim a •dead-heat for first with ad filly named' • Gallant Girl. Neither was fancied, Gallant Girl, in particular paying a mammoth dividend tio her solitary supporter.
