SPORTING.

NOTES.

(By “Flaneur.”)

Moutoa Lady is now at Porirua at Jos. Prosser’s stable, and later on she might be started in jumping races. She is reported to be a good jumper.

Panache, at one time owned and trained at Palmerston North, was tried over a' couple of hurdles at Ellerslie on Thursday and shaped fairly well.

H. Eva met with great success at Egmont on the first day, turning out King Pot and Dan Quin. Both these .horses have done him good service recently, and they look like keeping on.

The Otaki mentor, E. Penman, is getting a useful team together, among the recent additions being Rouex, lvalakaua and Hot Fire, by Campfire, from an Artist mare.

A Taranaki exchange says that Tteremoana will be prepared lor the Winter Cup. If the Hallowmas gelding starts and wins a weight-carrying record should be established.

Boomerday, who proved rather a disappointment over hurdles at the last Grand National Meeting, is said to be now shaping more satisfactorily in his schooling at Ellerslie.

Paddon, the promising Archiestown —Lady Fiasco two-year-old belonging to G. Seifert, who was halted in his work some time back owing to a cold, has-been put into work again.

L’Amour is reported to have run well *n the Autumn Handicap at Hastings last week, eventually finishing fourth. On that showing he is expected to be closer up in a near future engagement.

Frisco Mail was weighted at 11.3 in the Century Hurdles at Wanganui and 9.8 in the Great Northern Hurdles. It there is anything in handicapping ms connections have been given the strongest invitations possible to go to Ellerslie.

J. T. Jamieson and liis apprentice, W. Baghy, had exasperating luck at the Whangarei meeting. Bagby had five mounts and scored four seconds, three of them being on Dress Circle, Bright Sol and Steel Bar, Jamiesons team at the meeting.

J. Barry and R. McTavisli each rode two winners at the Egmont meeting. The following .jockeys scored one wm apiece: A. McDonald, S. Henderson, A. McCormac, W. J. Bowden, L. G. Morris, P. Mcßrearty, G. Ingram, A. Tinker, H. Wiggins and A. Griffiths.

Buckeye showed to good advantage on the first day of the Ellerslie Easter meeting, when he won the Mangere Steeplechase. He was a runner in the Egmont Steeplechase, finishing fifth. Buckeye is a useful sort and should be kept in mind for nearby engagements.

Count C'avour lias finished racing for this season and has been eased up. It is not intended to turn him out for a complete spell, as T. H. Gillett prefers to keep luni pottering along in light tasks until it is time to start him seriously on his preparation for spring engagements.

A smart trio in the Connolly ..Handicap—Hipo, Fool’s Paradise and Imperial Spark. Master Peter (10.5), San Forte (10.6) and Carawock (10.13) are nicely placed in the Steeplechase, and the same: be said of Omahn (10.10) and Nuumai (11.8) in the Century Hurdles.

F. E. Jones will ride Pilliewinkie and Many Kittle in their Australian engagements, and possibly will also ride lied Wink in his races. Jones leaves for Australia immediately after the Dunedin winter meeting, but will return to the Dominion for Grand National week. He may then go back to Australia for the spring meetings.

San Forte, Black Art and First Line, who finished in that order in the Wanganui Steeplechase last year, are among those who have been handicapped for the race this week. First Line is getting in the sere and yellow, for he will be 13 years of age this coming foaling. He finished fourth in the Egmont Steeplechase, giving a good display of “topping.”

At the head of the list of successful trainers at Egmont were H. Eva (Dan Quin and King Pot) and J. Fryer (lvaforte and ltehutai). Other successful mentors were: J. O’Driscoll (Savoury), J. O’Neill (Tula), F. Higgott (Imperial Spark), J. B. Gaisford (Euphonium), J. Morris (Omahu), W. Young (Dick), O. Cox (Lady Bentinck), W. J. Carroll (Curraghmore), E. .J. Murtagk (Sunshot) and A. W. Adams (Rowley).

In perusing the jockeys’ directory published in tho last issue of the New Zealand Turf Register, it is interesting to note that at the date of publication, March 26, there are only three jockeys who claim they can go to the scale at 6.7, one at 6.10, one at 6.13, while only nine claim they can ride at 7.0. Surely this must be accepted as a strong argument in favour of the seven stone minimum, states a Christchurch writer.

Word comes from the South Island that the pricer, Peter Mac, fell and broke his neck while training, on Mr A. Howard’s track one day last week. Peter Mac was by Petereta from D.1.C., the dam of some good horses, including Admiral Wood, Monica, Miss Florae C. and Papanui.

Omaliu, who has twice run second in the Great Northern Steeplechase, was produced at Egmont last Wednesday, and with 10.10 in the saddle beat all but Savoury in the Tongahoe Hurdles. He made amends for that defeat by capturing the Manawapou Hurdles on the concluding day. This is a very good start, and if he continues to go on the right way, and is sent to Ellerslie, where he has important engagements, he will command a lot of attention. Omaliu should know the country well by this time.

Steve Donoghue, the English jockey, has begun the new season well. He steered the French horse, Tapin, to victory in the important Lincolnshire Handicap. Donoghue, who is 42 years of age, headed the list of winning English jockeys for nine succesive years, while last season he finished third on the list. In 1923 Donoghue received £9OOO in retainers alone. Donoghue has ridden five English' Derby winners. He is a Lancashire native, but ho did not make his name until he was nearly 30. His best season was in 1920, when he rode 143 winners.

According to “Early Bird,” in the W anganui Chronicle, the stipendiary stewards in Sydney were not satisfied with G. Caddy’s handling of Sling Camp in the Hurdle Race at City Tattersall’s meeting this month. After inquiring into the matter, they came to the conclusion that there was no dishonest or improper intent in connection with the horse’s running, but Caddy, who had not ridden in a race for two years, was not at present competent to hold a jockey’s license. The stewards decided to recommend that his jockey’s license be cancelled.

The Foxton-trained Nukumai is said to be well forward in condition. During the last jumping season he was a most useful performer, winning the Winter Hurdle Race and the Final Hurdles at the Wellington winter meeting. Going on to the Grand National, he won the Jumpers’ Flat Race and the next day was sent out favourite for the big hurdle race, in which he failed to get a place. He later ran second to Vagabond in the Sydenham Hurdle Race. Nukumai is a pretty good sort over “the sticks.” while lie also has pace on the flat, his victories this season including the Waverley Cup. He is at the head of the list (11.8) in the Century Hurdles. WINNING TWO-YEAR-OLDS. The following table shows a list of winning two-year-olds of over £SOO lor the season anti the number of times they have finished in a place:—
