NOTES AND COMMENTS

(By “Maecenas.”) During the lerent holiday race meeting a number of so-calHed hacks made their prerenco felt at different, meetings. These included lUf ihfieldl. who .performed remarkably well at Ellersiiio., although not favoured* hy luck; Greenaway, whip won the rich, weighf-for-ago event, the Royal Stakes at the Auckland meeting; Just So, winner of a "double” at both New Plymouth and

Stratford: Pompoius, winner qf two wetter events at Stratford; Glare, winner of the Invercargill Cup of 1(M) sobs., and the Southland Handicap ’of £500; and Fernder who, like Grenaway, was beaten in hack races only to

win “open” sprint races at the Manawatu and Wairarapa meetings. It is many a year since such a record was established. Possibly the success of these ‘•hacks” was in a measure due to the weakness of title, open class perperfonmers, but all the slame the horses named are good and are likely to do well in future.

Fern,den was considered very unlucky to 1 *iniss” the Champion Hack Handicap at the Wairarapa meeting. From now on he will have to compete in open company. Thor© i s usually a calm after a storm. The only race meetings to be held this week is Reefton to-day ,amd to-morrow, and the Thames meeting on Thursday and Saturday. ” The soft tracks encountered in various parts of the Dominion ha.l la redeeming feature in the fact that very few horses went sore as the result of several days of racing. With the close of the holiday race meetings,, the Wellington Racing', Club’s summer meeting will be the next to attract attention.

Tho programme for the Taranaki Jockey Clubs Cup meeting has made its appearance, and is as attractive as of yore. The various races and prize money are in keeping with the metropolitan standing of the dlnb. The Gasbag gelding, Coalbag, Inis at times galloped well in private, but ait tire late meeting of the Taranaki Jockey Club he raced badly. Evidently this was through lack of experience, as his showing at Stratford! Jast Thursday was creditable.

Owner-trainer 11. Hannon is a long time winning a race with Tuku. Will he break the spell at the Thames meeting ? Good Boy is an improving gelding, and if he is reserved for the st-ven furlong race at Thames on Thursday next, he is certain to run well. With the continued successes of New Zealand-bred horses on the various Australian courses, it will come as a surprise should the sales a,t Trentham this month not find the more prominent Australlia-owner represented at the ringside. The Waiwato-tramed Arohieval is a long time striking; form, but two seconds at the recent meeting of the Auckland Racing Club suggest his being prominent at rbhe Thames meeting this week.

Le Chouctas lias given Trainer J. T. Jamieson many disappointments, but opposed by a moderate class iot at Thames, this gelding may pay expenses.

Flying Juliet’s farm at Filers'!ie last week was the best she has shown for a, long time, and she will cause smile trouble in her race?. With very limited nominations, the Taranaki and Stratford flub meetings of this 1 season looked! like being failures. The gatherings ov«r, however, reveal meetings as successful as similar club meetings hold during the hohdia.v season.

Since his meritorious second under 9.11 in the last Stewards’ Handicap at Riccarton. Paganelli has suffered defeats from performers of very moderate capabilities. Obviously this brilliant son of Lord Quex has trained off, possibly the result of being ri ot'd 1 very early in Australia’s last spring. Cyril,le (Humbug—Conran te), who tilled a minor place in the Trial Slakes at Stratford last Wednesday ’s a. halfbrother to (that once champion "mdei” of Australia, Vat i care. Cyrille is another case of breeding failing to reach the staiidardl antiei'pa.ted. The statement that Honour may not "are again is regretted b.v all lovers of a brilliant galloper. Honour ir a big bodied animal, and for 1 fiat reason has caused) trouble in training. While not a proved stayer, lie was very brilliant up to a middle distance. The racecourse frequenter is somewhat dfliitary and invariably waits for •i, lead. Tire result is that the vast amount of investments on the tmalisator ai'o put 'through in the last ten minutes before the machine is closed down on a, race. In many events decided on the second day of the recent meeting held at Stratford .there were many intending investors shut out, land ni the last erent.s there were long lines of “.punbens” left without a bet. Had nl’l the money shut out been invested the turnover must have been much more.
