This good horse may be raced in his new location, but he was procured mainly for stud purposes. It has been stated that Mr Friedlander might send Pavo over to his native country to rice this winter. r l'he Masterton Racing Flub was asked by the Wellington Racing Club to alter the date of its next year’s autumn meeting, bul on going into the matter the Masterton officials decided not t o accede t o Ihe request. The New Zealand Grand National Steeplechase will be worth 2156 sows (a cup valued at 50 sovs, and 2100 sovs in specie). Second horse will receive 120 sovs and the third 210 sovs. The (’anterbury Jockey Club has reduced the final payment in the Winter Gup by one sow H will now be £6 as against £7 formerly. According to the Programme Committee's report adopted by the I: st meeting of the C.J.C., the Acorn Stakes has been deleted from the list of classic. I events on its programme. 1 (’. J. Stowe, the well-known Hastings jockey has tiled a petition in bankruptvy. He partly attributed his pre- l sent position to over-estimating the i amount he was likely to earn, which ’ fell off as a result of the stump. I S. Donoghue, the premier horseman • in England last season, commenced this I season well at Lincoln by riding six winners in the first three days. His winning mounts included Granely, the Lincolnshire winner. The Hawi: is again out on the tracks at Hastings, but is not so far doing anything of a vigorous nature. Tenterfield is a much improved horse since Faster, and is going along well j in his work at Opaki. 'k'he gelding is to contest the Cornwall Handicap at the Auckland Winter Meeting. ’The King's horse, Picardy, by Pic- | ton—Saint's Mead, ridden by S. Dono- . ghue, won the ('oin herniere Highweight Handicap Ph te, of 300 sows, seven furlongs, at Hie Chester Meeting. It is reported that Roubaix, the win- I ner of the last Viceroy’s Cup, will not. race again in India, lie has been showing signs of unsoundness, : iid the intention is to return him to England for stud duties. I nsurrect ion has been put aside for the winter and will not be seen out again till the spring. Killick,/trainer of Beanford, has announced that the owner has refused an offer of £lO,OOO from an Indian buyer for the champion. An English writer describes George Duller as quite an Archer as a hurdleraye rider, and certainly he is admirable at the game. From the beginning of the year up to the second week in M- ich iie had ridden 30 winners in S 3 mounts. Whether the operation performed on Starland for a th] oat trouble will prove efficacious i.mains to bp seen. It is a pity to ■fiml horses of so useful a. class as this Auckland Cup winner was, so affected, but his most recent form over hurdles was not at all encouraging, hence the operation. An increase of £l5O in the stakes to be offered by the C.J.C. for the forthcoming Grand National fixture brings the total prize money to be distributed up to £12,750. Tln‘°leading jockeys for the 1921-22 ' premiership art 1 Ashley Reed :>7 wins, ('. lunersoii 44, Roy Recd 3/, Con Red 35, J. Barry 28’, J. O'Shea 27. Amongst the trptting drivers and riders J. McLennan holds pride of place with 2'2 I wins, followed by J. Bryce 18. E. <’. | McDermott 14, O. E. Hooper 13, IL Gaskill 12, I). Bennett 12. The last mail from Australia has brought the details of the conclusion of the A.J.C. Meeting. While Eury thmic’s second failure (in the Cumberland Slakes) was a further surprise, it '’Was gem rally conceded that the form was too bad to be true, and many good judges agreed that the chestnut had trained off. His bad form absolutely i puzzled his trainer, who could give no explanation whatever. While the honours test with Beanford, another meeting of the pair in the spring would be certain to arouse intense interest, and with the possible addition of Gloaming to the field, the races for the Craven Plate (one mile and a-quarter) -and the Spring Stakes (one mile and i a half), if contested by the trio, would ' cause pilgrimages to Randwick from ail parts of Australasia. Gloaming has been clipped- and he is being regularly (u<erc»sed on the lead. Mr W. R. Keniball, the Masterton sportsman, who scored a measure of success on the occasion of the last visit, jf his team to Dunedin, will have five of his horses racing at the Wingatui winter fixture next month, viz.: TenLterfield, Gladfti], Birkenella, Weldone and Bonnctter. Colds are very prevalent among the horses at RieeaVton. Several of the trainers have had to ease their charges up on this account. Mr P. Herman’s gelding Romance,

e_ =?= ewho is engaged in the hack steeples ; at the Dunedin meeting is now under ; Ihe care of W. McDonald at Riecarton. ; Another of the many novices at hur- j dling is Snub. He is reported to be i taking kindly to the business and may ; prow equal to finding sufficient for his ; keep this winter. King’s Trumpeter who has gone into ' Mr A. B. Williams’s stable was report- : cd to have brought a four-figure price. ; By the purchase of this colt Mr Wil- ; liams will have a strong team of three- ! voar-olds for next season, in Epitaph, I Rapine and King's Trumpeter. Roy Reed is about to spend a short : holiday in Sydney. : Arrowsmitii, the imported stallion, . who retired from tracks some I (ime ago, is now doing stud duty in : the Wanganui district. Mr Arthur Law, one of the best- ; known racing enthusiasts in the Dominion, is reported to be very sori- : ously ill. In Wellington the favourites for the Great Northern Steeplechase are Lochella, Ngata, and Omahu. Those most spoken for the Great Northern Hurdles are Omahu, Ngata, Lochella, Alteratiou, and Simonides. The winning- of the big double at Auckland by one horse has been achieved on three occasions. The first to score in both races was Liberator away back in 1895. No other horse proved equal to the task till 1915 when that great little performer El Gallo won. Despite big rises in his weights El Gallo repeated the. performance next year, and thus established a record that- is sure to stand for very many years. ■ An Indian buyer, Mr .1. Hamilton, arrived this week from Sydney, and i proceeded to Auckland to take charge of the Kilbroney filly Just, whom he recently purchased. He also tried to purchase Killashnndra, but F. Davis would not put a price on him,
