NOTES AND COMMENTS

(By “Maecenas.”) The annual meeting of the Foxton Jockey Club is set down for Wednesday c and Thursday next. a Havering, Boundary and Monaghan are Taranaki trained horses engaged at. the Foxton meeting. Havering and Monaghan both raced well at Stratford. Partial Eclipse Avon very deeisn'Cly at Now Plymouth on Boxing Bay and was backed ■with confidence at Stratford, but during her race there received •- injuries that will necessitate a lengthy •. spell. Ii Silvermino is such a solid and reliable little felloAV, that under nine stone, he cannot be discarded from Telegraph Handicap “possibilities.” Prior to the ManaAvatu meeting Mundane had done good Avork at Fordell, and Avas expected to Avin the recently run ManaAvatu Cup, but in that n oA r ent she hied badly, and in eonse--7 quence, may not again race. [f Atareria does not ahvays do his best, n hut in a small field at Foxton he may he induced to discard his “moody” manner. A pair of useful three-year-olds, m Night March and Toxeuma, are engaged in the Foxton Gup and both should run avcll. Possibly Toxeuma Avill be the one likely to improve on recent G form. ■o As Boyal Game Avill only have a d weak lot" opposing him in the Herrington Handicap at Foxton lie should run avcll even under his 9.9. Henna may give most trouble. J Helotis failed to gain a place in her races at the summer meeting at Aivapuni, hut she displayed a lot 'of dash, and on the small course at Foxton, may prove dangerous, t, Last season Stagliuntcr shoAved 4 spc-cd, at least equal to any of his age, and though, in the early part of the current season raced badly, his close third in the Boyal Stakes at Ellerslic recently suggests a return to form. Mask always does best on a hard course, and in the past lias done better a s the racing season progresses. Thus with S.ll in the Wellington Cup, Mask may be found playing a leading part. • , When thoroughly A\’ell,Hynanna is a I first-class handicap performer. His i , I trip to Melbourne in the spring up 7 neared to have got to the bottom of _,i this gelding, but he is again approach ino- his true form and, under 8.11. should run well in the Wellington Cup i,’ On occasions Balloon has raced fair n-1 l.v well, and seeing liow weak the op nosit ion is at Foxton next Wednesday Balloon should earn some stake money i’, Childsplay AA-as remarkably brillian' tli as a two-year-old and her narrow do nil feat in the Steivards’ Handicap at Bie 4i. carton last November, showed shi still retained her speed. 'She is. nov s., getting through great Avorlc and is ox ies peeted to shoAV up against the two-yea 1c- olds in the Wellington Stakes. ,e) Prior to going to Auckland for th< led recent meeting, Oratrix had not don 7 Avhat could be described as a cup pre >rn paration and the course being holdinj on, at Ellcrslio did not enhance the pros by pects of Oratrix. However, the littl Jis mare improved with racing, and on th oe, fourth day missed first place by inches On this shoAving Oratrix must be 're

— ’ 1 spected for the coming Wellington Cup. One of the disappointments to many fof the Auckland meeting was the poor showing made by the imported .Hoylake. .Regarded by some as unreliable, I-loylake certainly raced at Ellerslie in ■ a manner which strengthened that , view. Hoylake is to take his place in the coming Wellington 'Cup, and in his Trentham engagements will bo ridden by A. E. Ellis. Prior to competing at the recent meeting -of the Hawke’s Hay Jockey Club, Rapine had not raced since May, 1927. At that outing Rapine won the Hawke’s Bay Cup under 10.7, but as ! lie is now approaching ten years of age, Rapine cannot be expected to reproduce his 'best form. All the same his ; Hastings fonn at Hew Year suggested Rapine again winning races when ■ thoroughly seasoned. ; The southerners, Pink iNote and bet - Sail, are down to compete in the coming Wellington Cup. 'Both raced consistently during the holiday period, r and will be at their best by the time ’ the Wellington meeting arrives. In the past, this pair have run well on i the Trentham course, but generally met - something too good. In the case or I Pink Hote increase in age may enhance 3 his prospects. _ , t The three-year-old 'Silver Paper, who shorved pace to win at the recent mcet(,‘ing of the Manaw-atu Racing Club, v T as - benefited by his exertions, and on l Thursday last ran half a mile at Ricr carton in 48 4-ssec. It was. the best gallop of the morning. This son of r Paper Money is to compete m the 1 ele- - graph Handicap at the coming • meetin o- of the Wellington Racing Club, and \ many keen judges expect him to prove * very troublesome in the event. 1
