Racing Notes

Kathbella’s Mishap: Kathbella’s mishap last week is most unfortunate to her connections, as she was very fit and was expected to be a good winnei- up to a mile this season. It is now possible that rhe wiU never race again. Waikato Hunt Races: Sub-Editor, 9.5, in the Waikato Hunt Cup. and Spearford, 7.3, in the Bollaj'd Memorial Handicap, should be included in the list of acceptortor the Waikato Hunt races at Cambridge on Monday. Or we re: Having bis first race of the season, Oi-were pulled very hard in his preliminary. and looked in great order to ■ et out on a successful year’s racing. He contested the open sprint last Monday and was always one ol the leadei-s. only giving way to Bron won and Oui- Jean in the last fifty yards. He may be much more solid this term and should go further than six furlongs. i

Likely Pair; 11 is probable that the issue in the open sprint at Cambridge on Labour Day will be fought out by Our Joan and Orwere for their form last Monlay was high class and then- wo'gh* cannot be increased now. Our Jean has developed into a very line galloper. and. while she may be a I rifle slow in lho early part of her races, she is brilliant enough fo overconif ;liis dilhrulty. It was only a bad star! on Monday'that j>reventeil her from winning, for she was conceding the lacemakers ten lengths with less than half a mile to go and yet. finished second, less than ti length from the winner.

Phaleron: , Among the two-year-olds seen out at Ellerslie for the lirst time were Phaleron (by Phaleron Bay from Columba, a sister to Eaglet). Lou T -’osa (Foxbridge—Lucy Rose, dam of Gay Rose), Horeke (Nightmarch— Telepathy). Royal Musk (Musketoon -Lady Mestor, dam of King Mestor). and Harmony (Hunting Song—Wee Agnes'*. Phaleron is a very nice colt eft he stock type, and although he did not appear to be nearly ready it is obX ious that he has pace and will be good in the near future.
