Vv hen Mailman ran seccad in the Australian Steeplechase on Saturday he was ridden by W. ()‘llalJoraip who, a Jew years ago, did a lot of riding in New Zealand. Alany Kittle’s first outing in Australia will be at Rosehill gm 27th June. As both of R. King’s horses are doing particularly wclLin their work, Alany Kittle’s performance will be awaited with interest. Jubilant and Gay Juliet are being kept going at Ricearton, and will l>e seen out at the Ashburtcn Afeeting. Lord Ashlea (A. G. Campbell) was give na schooling task at Riccarton on Wednesday. He started at the brush in front of Ihe stand, and after going once round jumped the double the seecad time before being pulled up. lie was inclined to screw at some of the fences; otherwise his performance was good. Will Oakland is making good progress towards complete recovery from the injury he received during the Dunedin Jockey Club’s Aleetiag. Il appears that he bruised his held while exercising, which caused his leg to fill. He is galloping about i'ii the jtaddock like a two-year-old, an<| will probably join the active* lirigade in the course of a. week or two. His performances since Christmas are three firsts, seven seconds, one third, and once unplaced, a wonderful record for an old horse. Einora is looking all the better for her racing at the Dunedin Afeeting, and is being kept going in view of the approaching meetings. The Siwiny ( Lake—Silk Worm three-year-old filly in the same stable has been broken in, and will soon join the active brigade. < Count Cavour is in regular work again at Riccarton, a»nd the Solferino gelding has built up nicely during his let-up. He has been nominated tor a few races in Australia, but up to the present no definite arrangenie-nts have been made for Mr. Barrett’s gelding. Should he not fulfil his Australian engagements he will be seen out at th? C.J.C. Grand National Meeti-ng. Charlatan is bowling along well m his work at Riccarton. The rising three-vear-old Waterlow was given a short sprint at Eicearton and moved witli plenty of determnan tion throughout. She has grown and filled out during the spell off the track, and good results can be expect-

od from the d"uehter "f Pa»>e»’ Almiev ”cv| season. TROTTING. According t<» official returns, (hivx has credited her popular owner. Air. L. G. King wit! £9?s7. The current sea son has been her best with £3017 Li 1923-24 sh • earned £2300; in 1922-23 £1605; i.,1 1921-22, £2005,’ and in the previous sea -on. when sh? opened he?’ winning ace -unt. as a three-year-old £B6O. Apparentl Alan o’ War was a little lucky to win tlu* Eree-for All at AshburU.’n. TLc „big track and soft going were all in his favour, but what stood to him i orc was that Logan Chief tangled at the start and Onyx received a very bad run. As it was, at thp finish Al: a o’ War defeated Logan Chief only by a neck. It is r( uorted that Air. R. M. Morten has S' Id Taraire to a West Australian eath ;siast. Air. R. AL Morten heads the winning list of owners in light-harness racing ibis season. His horsese hav<* won £4704. Air. G. Barton is second with £4282, :-id Air. .1. Duffy is next with £3995 t« his credit. Fourth on the list is All’. R. J- AleKenzie, whose horses have annexed £3903 .Onyx’s owner, Mr. L. G. King is fifth, having collected £3017 in stakes this season. Harold Burwood is one of the most improxed horses racing under the rules of troltbng this season. He has been rarely out of a place when started during t'io past three months, and wound in-Tbv putting down a strong favourite in AX' litaki Girl in the Geers Handicap at Ashburton. Harold Burwood is expect' d to race well in good class two mile races -next season. N Json Derby has been sold to Air. <«. Bar on. of Dunedin, and in future will be rained by AV. J. Tomkinson Addington. Nelson Derby wen at Ashburton at the first time of asking m his new ownership. . Logan Lou left the mark on each ocea ion at Ashburton, so it is only a question of her keeping fit to he m th, , ni >ney at August. . Nelson Fame had the services of 1 . TLddle in the mile and a quarter- event .nt Ashburton on Saturday. lie left the , iai-k fast, and was well placed foi mile, but that was the end of him.
