Racing Notes

Ellerslie .Classics: The mu chis/ic. races at Ellerslie Wl . n . full of interest and indicated that class prevailed in the ease of the Iwo winners, ITaneis Drake and (i.ill'o. Up to lasi Saturday the two-year olds that had raced in the north were not regarded as being up to the usual spring standard, but with the Welcome Stakes at Ellerslie, the position became much brighter, tor liancis Drake won like a good colt a.nd there is no reason to suppose that he wll not go on with it. Disappointing: Bowyang was one of the. Welcome S.akes disappointments, for he was never prominent. The Australian-bred Deldberg will take time, and so will Highborn, who at present seems to be the pick of the .four ( .olts purchased at the Randwick Easier sales on behalf of an Auckland syndicate. It was illuminating to see three Australianbred youngsters in the Welcome Stakes field. Gay Talkie: Gay Talkie, who has raced in the partnership of Messrs. L. G. Abel and J. Riley, has become the sole property of Mr. Abel. Anion: Anion is recovering from his lameness. and it is hoped he will be ready .for the hack plates at the Takapuna Spring meeting. Wes/j Tor: West Tor has been withdrawn from all engagements at the Wellington R.C. jneeting, ' W.ellesley Stakes: Girl Bat. ('oiinterldasl and Sigurd have been withdrawn from the Wellesley Stakes. -- Prostration (Breaks ( Down: Prostration, fancied New Zealand Cup candidate, has broken down, this time in the sound leg, and is unlikely io survive another preparation.
