V.R.C. THIRD DAY

AMOUNIS EICHT ON END. PHAR LAP’S FIRST W.F.A. [United Pres* Association—Bv Cable— Copyright.) Melbourne March 6. The weather was Hue and warm for the races at Flemington. The going was fart and the attendance large. Chumree, who was second to last early, finished best in the Autumn Hurdles and won nicely. His ownertrainer.

Webster, recently announced his retirement and fids was his first mount for some month L Amounis was second -early and ran to the front in the straight in the C M Lloyd Stakes and won nicely.

Greenline made a game effort'but was no match for the winner of eight victories in succession. His rider, Pike, had won previously on Gothic, and also had a dead heat on the same horse. Amounis has now won stakes amounting to £37,796. Thurlstone was prominent all the way and won the Ascot Vale Stakes comfortably. He has had three wins, a second and a third out,of five starts, and has won stakes amounting to, approximately, £5450. Cimbi-ian was last at the straight entrance, but finished fast and won the Autumn Handicap brilliantly. He is a half-brother to Heroic, and is trained by the New Zealander, Lou Robertson.

Phar Lap led throughout in the Governor’s Plate and won comfortably. Pike was unable to take the ride owing to beiug over-weight. It was Elliott’s first weight-for-age victory.

GENERAL NOTES

A final reminder is given owners and trainers that first-day acceptances for Wellington, also nominations for Manawatu, with forfeit for both tho Manawatu Sires’ Produce Stakes and the Manawatu Stakes, are due this (Friday) evening at 9 o'clock.

Owing to ill-health, says an Auckland exchange, F. Weston, who has lieen associated with J. Williamson’s stable for some years, has decided to relinquish his position, and intends to take a holiday for a while.

Two of Mr. F. Armstrong’s youngsters, in Chief Cook (Chief Ruler— Cherry Pie) and Chief Kaiser (Chief Ruler—Kaiserine), have been taken in hand by Mrs. A. M'Donald. They are being handled and given light tasks on the roads.

Gold Money will probably be found contesting the sprint event at the Franklin meeting on Saturday. The Paper Money—Miss Ethel mare has not had much racing lately but she was in a place over six furlongs at the Takapuna Summer meeting and is regarded as likely to show further improvement from this out.

Although Lucy Rose failed to win at Te Aroha she ran two solid races to finish second and third respectively in the chief sprint event 011

each day of the meeting. She is engaged at the hltanklin meeting, and if she repeats h“r Te Aroha form at that fixture she will be very hard tc beat.

Aspiring claims throe engagements on the opening day of the Wellington Racing Club’s autumn carnival, but, according to Christchurch reports, more than likely she will be found con testing the North Island Challenge Stakes. C. Emerson, who piloted the filly in tho Middle Park Plato at Riccarton, will steer her at Weilling-

Kairuri, if he contests the Highweight Handicap at Pukekohe on Saturday will almost surely bo among the starters in prominent demand. The .Surveyor—Salvor gelding ran third in his two starts at the Rotorua meeting, when he was unlucky, especially on the first day, when he was left nearly a dozen lengths as the barrier rose. TKo injury received by Pink Noto when he was kicked on the second day of the Gore meeting is more serious than was originally imagined, and Dunedin reports sjato that he will not be able to race again for some time. Ono of these days, comments “Sentinel,” owners will take united action and protest against horsqs, which are inclined , to kick being allowed to line up with others at tlio The rule on tho point is a dead letter and should be galvanised into life. • * * Volimond was very unlucky in the only start she had at Te Aroha. The Limoiid- Tivoli filly not only began , sli'wly. but she. ran into some eonsiderable bother in tho .early stages of the seven furlongs and was well baek when tho field bad settled down. As Volimond was close up third nt tho finish, the indications are that she must Imvo been hard to heat with -. favourable run. * * • Flair’s recent victory at Riccarton was most impressive, and the future .of the daughter of Psychology will be

followed with much interest. She will make her next appearance at Trentham this month, and will be accompanied on the trip north by Red Heckle, the Thompson Handicap favourite, and Garvary.

A Waikato writer states , that Grand Arch was well out of it for the greater portion of the hurdle journey at Te Aroha on Saturday, but he was running over everything at the finish when he was in third place. Grand Arch was making a bold showing on Monday, when he ran to the front about six furlongs from home but he came to grief shortly afterwards. The turn for the Marble Arch gelding as a jumper will arrive before long. ,

The New Zealand St. Leger candidate Waterline, say's the Christchurch “Sun,” has made a good recovery from the ailment he suffered, after winning the Midsummer Handicap at Riccarton, . and in a six furlongs -gallop with Full Feather on Tuesday he acquitted himself well. Waterline bears a much improved appearance, and as northern report states that Hunting Cry is something under a cloud he may start favourite for the St. Leger at Trentham this month.

Kingfield has the distinction of winning the Farewell Handicap at Te Aroha three seasons in succession. He was fourth favourite when he scored in 1928 and fifth -fancy last year, while on Monday lie was sent out seventh choice and his supporters got a neat double figure return. When Kingfield ran unplaced with the sprinters on Saturday he was having his first start since the Waikato Club’s meeting at Te Rapa in mid-November, and we have to go back to last year’s Te Aroha Farewell to find him a winner.

» » • From the weights allotted by Mr. H. Coyle for the Plunkot Nursery Handicap, to be decided at Trentham on the opening day of the coming meeting, writes “Vedette,” it is evident he has formed a good opinion of Tripping and Autopay. Both of these youngsters have come into prominence only recently with two successes; Appledore even more has caught the handicapper’s eye, for he has yet to win, yet is within a few pounds of winners of two races, and lias to give weight to winners in Green Linnet, Henry of Navarre, and Jenny Diver. There is not much doubt that Appledlore is an improving gelding of whom the best has yet to bo seen, and the handicapper’s tip may prove a good one to bear in mind. • • «

In reply to “Wager”: You are right. Greenline’s sire, Greenstead. is Australian bred, having been got by The Welkin (imp.) from Tuning Fork, by Harmonist—Attraction, by Pilgrim’s Progress. Greonstead’s dam, Ayrline, is by Ayr Laddie —Orpheline, by Trenton, so that he has a Musket strain in him from that side. • » < To the same enquirer: Ampunis was got by Magpie from Loved One, by Duke of Milton—Bui Bui, by Simile— Chand Bee Bee, by Royal Hampton. Magpie was got by Dark Ronald— Popinjay, by St. Frusquin—Chelandry. by Goldfinch—llluminata, by Rosicrucian from Paraffin.

No doubt J. E. Pike thought the luck was with him when priority of engagement compelled him to abandon Amounis and get up 011 Greenline for tho Futurity Stakes at Caulfield. But he was badly out in his calculation, and the luck was with H. Jones, who, in default of Pike, got the leg-up on the Magpie gelding. Apparently some now arrangement was made between the two owners in connection with the C. M. Lloyd Stakes yesterday, as Pike was released to ride Amounis, while Greenline seems to have been- ridden by the Victorian jockey Dempsey. A cable received yesterday said that Sydney's premier rider, E. Bartie, was to be on the latter, but plans must have been altered.

The name of the Paper MoneyLa Paix gelding Pay Paix appeared in the cabled Newmarket Handicap acceptance list as it reached us here. This- was probably a mistake as, much to his many backers’ disgust, only a day or two previously to the running of the big Flemington sprint, he went out an odds-on favourite for the £4O Tfiree-year-old Handicap at Monangle Park (Sydney) and got badly beaten into second place.

Mention was made a day or two back of the arrival from England of another Hurry Ou stallion in Lord Warden. This horse is destined to take the defunct Solforino’s place in Mr. George Kain’s Gladstone Park, South Island, stud. Hurry (in, already represented in the Dominion by Mr. Gaine Carrington's successful sire Hunting Song, was unbeaten himself, and ho has sired three Derby winners in Captain Cuttie, Coronach, and Call Again. Lord Warden’s second dam bred six good winners, and she was by Carbine, while bis third dam was one of the two famous daughters of St. Simon, in Memoir. She is a sister to La Floche. and together they won £52,000 in stak?-. Memoir won both the Oaks and St. Leger. La Flecho was the dam of John o' Gaunt, the sire of Swynford. and the granddiun of Spearhead, sire of the Melbourne Cup winner Spearfelt.

H.B. TROTTING CLUB

NEXT WEEK’S MEETING. Owners and trainers are reminded that acceptances for this club’s autumn meeting, which is to be held at Hastings on Saturday of nest week and the following Monday, will close with ths secretary, Mr A. E. Palmer, Hastings, on Monday next, March 10, at 8 p.m, A good response from owners is pretty well assured, and everything points to. the club having a most successful meeting. Among the local horses who are in work and well forward to undertake their engagements are Bingen King, Slave Boy, King Peter, Eliton, Pilot, Rector, Clive Dillon, All Red, Ngahuia, Rangihau, Capilano, Planet Junior, and Mate aki. Among early arrivals from outside will bo Bonnie Wall and Peter Illoyd, who are being forwarded by lorry to Hastings. These horses are reported as very forward. They are owned by Mr R. C. Fisken, of Gisborne. At the conclusion of the Palmerston North .Meeting Mr .1. H. Corrigan’s team, comprising Richore. Queen Elizabeth. Golden Oak, Little Guy. Rosie Dillon, and Bingen Spiers, will be railed to Hastings. As this owner has been successful on pre-

vious occasions at local meetings, no doubt his horses will have a fair following bv the public. During the week an interesting try-out took place over dne mile be- 1 tween Fliton, Rangihau and Manco. They finished within a length of each other. Bingen King and Ngahuia wore sent separately over 1| miles, both going splendidly.
