Racing Notes To Rest: The two-year-old Bachelor King and the three-vear-old Raepata weie to have been'added to the list during the week-end and are to be treated to a spell before being prepared for next season’s racing. Although he failed in his races in the autumn, Bachelor King did well during the season and he ;s a uA’fu’l galloper who should pay his wav next season. Like other members e f his family. Bachelor King has shown pnitiality for soft going. Back at Ellerslie: The Jhitaiiiiiln-owneil hack I’oi Dance, who ran third in a six-furlong taee at the Bay of Plenty meeting last montlh,. has made her reappearance a( Ellerslie. She has -.-one little racing this season, but would only need to show a little improvement on her Tauianga form in order to win spiint event. When trained at Ellerslie previously Poi Dance was attached tlo the stable of F. Stenning, by whom she will be piepared for future engagements. Peacock score's at Waimate: Peacock, surprise, winner ( ,f 'he Tri II late at Waimate on.. Saturday, is a five-year.old gelding by Songbird from Gorgeous, by Martian from Eon, by B.rkenhead from Eon, by Meitn lm and Enid by Appreniont. The breeding of Peaeoeok indicates that. he should gallop fast and now that, he has struck winning form he may go on to further success. - The victory of Peacock was overdue and would make some amends for previous defeats. Useful Field: The Dannevirke Handicap, the chief open event on the Dannevirke card, lias drawn a numer of useful performers wh 0 are likely to be seen m advantage later. Artie King, Haz.oor, Red Manfred, Rona Bay, Curie. Werohio, and Catalogue figure in the list, and theie are others who have given the impression of being to the fore during the autumn and winter. Form All Awry: Heloise, who sent backers away from Waimate on Saturday with the feeling that race form is not! what it ought to be scored her previous win in a poor elas s field at Hororala in December, but on that occasion she was well supported. She is a fotir.ycar.old mare by Lord Warden —Ma Mie, the latter being a Martian mare raced by the late Mr. J. S. Bairetif, without, success. Heloise has .shown signs of stamina in her races, but faded out of 'he mile highweight which opened pioeeedings at Waimate. Trotting Notes Likely Sorb.: G. Monritz nas under his eiuie a sster t 0 Pot Luck. She is a two-year-old and small and will be given Dme to develop. Shadeland: The trotter Shadeland is owned by Al. B. Edwards, but is being tmined at Addington by F. J. Clark. He is a nervon s gelding and it is hoped that. 11 the busier f'ur roundings in the city he will gain confidence. TMee Bells: Experience for Three Bells in the New Zealand Sapling Stakes was fol. lowed by a short'. let-up. He has again been put into training and is stated to have made marked improvement.
