Many punters wore undoubtedly . astray hv a Press Association message which appeared recently in the local , press, io. tiliie effect thal Lady Rene hml. be "hi scratched, [for ajl engagements at the Nelson meeting. The [’mare in Cjuestion won the Hope Ilanct.:- ( cap at Nelson yesteuday. | Turn Shaft may not be racing at the ' Aniberiey-Hororata meeting on Saturday as though galloping well, he has been a trifle sore during the last few i. days. -! Mrs J. Campbell’s charge. Fortune’s r j Wheel, a full sister to Phar Lap, has r | developed lameness. This is t o bo reslgretted as she was just beginning to t’show form in her work after being brought in from an enforced spell. T . The well known hurdler. Pangolin, -[was schooled for the first time c.ver the 1 steeplechase fences. He shaped fairly well, but seemed disinclined to tackle 7 (the big fences. He will he sent north fjfor the Egmont meeting and will go 3 'into L. Knapp’s stable, where an ene [deavour will be made to make him proificient as a steeplechaser. 5 I A recent addition to Sir Charles CHf- - s'ford’s stud is the four-year-old filly. I Robbie’s Mistake, by Psychology from e Loveloch, by Martian. She is bred in 1 the purple and should make a success--7 ful mat ron. Quarterdeck has been purchased by I Dr. M. L. Louisson and will be mated 1 iwith Hoylake next season. A. D. Webster apparently left a cornemission to purchase a yearling at the j [Sydney sales, as on the last day of the sale he is credited with buying a bay colt by Heroic for 200 guineas. The ) dam of this colt. Camisole, is by Bera- - goon (son of Multiform) from Maletta,

bv Grafton from Ln France, by Carriage from Wild Rose, by Newminster from Primrose, by Goldsborough. I his rolt comes from the sum.* family as Night march and Chide. Matu was sharpened up by his racing at Riverton and shaped well in «' school over tin* Wingatui fences in company with Tractarian and Good Gift. Matu went on alone after three jumps and crossed the sod wall and brush double. Chere is a chance of Matu going to Auckland. One of the highest price yearlings sedd at the Sydney Easter sales was a bav colt by Silvias from Leading Lady, . and his breeding is particularly inter-est-iiig to New Zealanders, inasmuch as : ( hv is descended from Ottorden. the dam i of Martian. Boniform, Sungod. and Of- | terform (the granddam of Manfred). Leading Lady is by Shepherd King | from Foremost, by Multiform from Ottorden. and the youngster mentioned [was secured by Mr E. F. Walker, of | Randwick. for 550 guineas. Silvius was a high (dass performer on the turl. and I d feated such horses as Amounis and ■ Gothic and ran second in the Melbourne . Cup to Trivalve. TROTTING. T'he (rotter Great Nelson is now doing a lot of useful work at Addington. | under F. G. Holmes’s charge, and is ( looking in fine order. It is reported that Real Boy will have h s next outing at Forbury. In his races he has shown plenty of speed, but has not been at all steady in his , !g;it. His recent efforts have been on, [grass tracks, and an improvement may j be exi)Octed when he is stepped out j on a dirt track, as his training is all ! done on a track of this description. ' J. Siebel. who for some time was domi- | oiled in Christchurch, where he had the good trotter First Fashion, is engaged in training in Victoria. His latest vic , tore was with The Pirate, a son of Ihe imported trotter The Design, with whom j he recently won at Campprdown. 11. Frost is handling at New Brighton a promising two-year-old geidmg bv Rev de Oro from Doraldina. He is I built on sturdier lines than his close • r dative Daphne de Oro. and gets through his work in a pleasing manner. | He claims an engagement in the Sapling Stakes. Knwana. the six-year-old gelding by , Logan Pointer from Desdemona figures ' among the nominations for the Forbury ( Park meeting. R. J. Marshall has in his stable at Addington, the trotter Precious Gift. •

[which is by Diadem, a sire who. has _ hud few representatives on the track. ' Th f . Australian-bred pacer Vendome is | still in a bad way, and it may be some j time before she is able to be put into work again. J. J. Kennerley, her own- ' cr-trainer, stated the other morning that l I Vendome can hardly put her injured leg , 'to the ground, and finds a good deal of ' |d : fficulty in moving about. She injur- . led herself racing at the Easter nieet[ing a Addington. | F. G. Holmes is handling a two-year- i |(dd filly by Travis Axworthy that claims :in engagement in the Sapling Stakes. 1 |She is a half-sister to Muriel de .Oro. Axiom, the half-brother by Travis Ax ; j worthy to Great Hope, has rejoined iW. J. Tomkinson’s stable. The biggest horse in work at Adding- > I ton is the Author Dillon gelding Don ' •Giovanni, in N. L. Price’s charge. He is not in any way clumsy and does his I [work nieelv. His first public appear[.•ip.ee will be at the Amborloy-Hororata meeting on Saturday.
