Racing Notes

Strip: The Valkyrian—Dismantle three-year-old gelding has been named Strip. Djin Djin: The first Dunedin Cup was run at Wingatui in 1899 and won by Djin Djin, named after a musical extravaganza staged by the late Mr. T. Pollard, who owned the winner. New Date to be Sought: Owing to heavy rain, the committee of the Matamata Racing Club decided early on Saturday to cancel the annual race meeting, which was to have been held in the afternoon. It is the intention of the club to. seek another date later in the season and April 2 may be applied for. It was unfortunate for the Matamata Club and owners and trainers with horses engaged that the meeting had to be cancelled, but the committee acted wisely in making the decision it did Kilonsa: ■ Kilonsa scored her most important success to date when she won the Ralph Handicap at Ellerslie, and, what is more, her success was most decisive. A week earlier she had impressed by the - manner in which she had defeated a modest lot of seven furlong performers at Thames, and then at her next outing she literally buried the opposition at Ellerslie, the field including the best gallopers in the province. Kilonsa’s stamina was doubted in many quarters, but at Takapuna, with the pace a cracker all the way, she was well back and then came with a brilliant run in the straight. It had been intended to send her to Hawera for the Egmont Cup, but when she showed such fine form it was decided to keep her at home for the richer prizes on the provincial circuit. Hua:

If Hua comes through his racing at Flemington satisfactorily, he will be sent to Sydney for the A.J.C. St. Leger and possibly the Sydney Cup.

Trotting Notes

A Speedy Mare: Marlene is one of C. S. Donald’s brilliant young pacers, but luck has been all against her in her efforts to date. Her chance should come in the Harewood Handicap, where only seven other runners should not cause her much worry. Her most formidable opponent may prove to be Zincali, a good stayer. Speeding Up: King’s Play is credited with going the last half-mile of the Dominion Handicap inside Imin. 2sec. He won in 4min. 34 l-ssec. In the next rac? the trotter, Walter Wrack, won in 4min. 34 4-ssec. Jackaranda:

Jackaranda created a good impression at Wellington. He was got by Jack Potts from Dusky Locanda by Brent Locanda—Dusky Morn, by Young Irvington.
