The soring meeting of the Dunedin Jockey Club opens on Thursday and concludes on Saturday next. '1 ne one day •spring meeting of the Mas ter on Racing Club is .set down for Saturday next. S'Miiri years ago the crowd at Potter’s Paeiock (Auckland) took change, and racing had to be suspended. Evidently many of their descendants were present at BL'lerslie on Saturday last when. a. similar occurrence took place. l' .Royal Game, liki? all of Mr W. Ballinger’s horses, is getting plenty of racing, lint the in or?, the black fellow lias the better he looks. He. carried his 9.9 likes a. tradesman at Carterton feist’ Saturday, and won by sheer gamienctfis. Seeing how well seasoned Franeolin is, tin? Trentha.m-tra.ined two-year-old should prove very hard to beat in the McLean Stakes at the Dunedin meeting on Thursday next. If Franco l !in does not win that event then his chance of ]laying his way is Very remote. Only southern-owned three-year-oihl's will contest the Dunedin Guineas'. Severn,l of those engaged have had a. ra.eeor races and for that reason may .beat opponents that may subsequently prove tlieir superior when seasoned. Sir Geo. Clifford’s pair, Pniek'tas aiid-Childspla.y, are both, working well, and promise to prove hard to beat, but, in point of condition, Noteworthy a-ncl Stanshooter have a, big advantage.

The defeat by Bacchus of "Winailot iu the liaudwick Plate fast Saturday would be a severs blow to admirers of the four-yeair-old, who was claimed to be much superior to Lime rick, it ii.s now obvious that the hoof trouble that afflicts Limerick was the cause of his inability to win the Spring Stakes outright’ on the opening, day of the ascent A.J.C. meeting. That Australians are prepared to pay high prices for a thoroughbred thought capable of winning good class races, lias often been proved .in a practical way in the figures paid for New Zealand-bred animals. After Gold Tinge won the Breeders’ Kate at the recent .meeting of the A.J.C. there were several prospective buyers, and one cable sent to the owner (.Air Barton, of Dunedin) ■stated that 4000 guineas could be secured for the two-year-old. Although Goromca won the Wairara.pai County Ouip in a convincing, manner last Saturday, her task wars made easier by the capable l and judicious manner in which Apprentice N. Dr ink water rode her. In fact had the lad not ridden a particularly good race, there is little doubt that Teri would have beaten the Taranaki-trained mans. - Tire New P' : ymonth-owned Itillet .registered a, good' performance at the Carterton meeting last Saturday, but was unlucky to meet .such a well-season?d performer as Veronese, who raced better than at any other stage of her career. That Veronese was >a ‘‘snag’’ to meet in a maiden race was proved later in the day, when she got away badly in the five furlong race, and even then only failed to catch that smart filly Banker. Tlie Dunpdin Guineas comes up- for decision on Saturday . next. Tims Prickles and Goblin Market wii’il get the necessary race on Thursday next to fit them for that classic. A nolo looked nice and mellow a t Carterton last Saturday and at the straight entrance was going as well as any of lii« opponents, but want of a ra.ee told its tale, and he weakened in the run home. A nolo will lie much benefited by 'the gallop, and may prove troublesome in the near future. It, has been stated 1 that Mr C. G. MicTiidoe. owner -of Prince Humphrey, won £.50,000 over the success of that three-year-old in the recent A.J.C. Derby. This (Statement is simply absurd, as .although, it is known that Trail air Jamieson favoured Prince Humphrey’s chance in that rich race, and even allowing that Mr Mclndoe js a fair bettor, when given inducement to do so by his trainer, the fact remains that at the price he was likely to averagp over the transaction, something, like £BOOO would have to he invested. Possibly. Eric Connolly might .invest, that amount on an alleged “good, thing,” but it iis hard to believe any New Zealander would be brave (or foolwh) enough/ to. put so much money on a, racehorse. .... ..............
