FROM STABLE AND COURSE

By “Binocular." Racing at Napier Park next Saturday.

The Ellerslie mentor, J. Williamson, had an excellent innings on his home course, he presenting no less than five winners during the three days of the Great Northern meeting.

There were five horses who registered two victories during the course of the G.N. meeting at Ellerslie, Seatown, Gold Money ; Odin, Bright Land and Prince Lu being the animals concerned.

Save in two instances the riding honours at Ellerslie at the recent meeting were restricted to single wins. T. Green, however, threw his leg across a winner on five occasions, while G. Holland piloted four jumpers to victory.

Apart from the substantial cheque (£1250) which fell to Mr E. W. Collins as the result of Mister Gamp’s victory in the G.N. Hurdles, the stake money which came to this district from the Auckland meeting was somewhat limited, Mr K. McK. Duncan winning £3OO with Otairi; Mr H. J. McManaway, of Bulls, £SO, and Mr J. L. McMillan £3O. Mr Duncan, who rode his own horse in the Carbine Plate, was the one amateur rider to figure in the list.

E. Foster, who had the seat on IT rail a in the Great Northern Steeplechase, would earn £126 as his riding fee for the job, which would work out at over 15 guineas per minute. Possibly that would not be his only rein .aeration, for it is quite common in such races for the jockey to be laid a certain amount to nothing, although one is inclined to wonder whether the succoss would be anticipated by the connections of Uralla.

The southern trainer, G. Reed, has had an addition to his team in ,the shape of a six-year-old gelding by a Nautiform colt from Calabash, by Calibre from Fedalma, by Gipsy Grand from Neva. He is stated to be a very big horse, seventeen hands, and it will take some time to get him into racing shape.

Mr E. S. Luttrcll has purchased the two-year-old filly Moorbird, by The Ace from Moorlowl, from Sir George Clifford, states the Christchurch Star. She has shown a lot of speed on the trades, but leg troubles prevented her from racing this season. In the hope that she will train on to good form, Mr Luttrell has nominated her for the Caulfield Futurity Stakes, to be run next autumn, and also for the corresponding race of 1931.

A correspondent (says the Dunedin writer “Sentinel”) asks what system the writer follows in a pursuit for possible favourites, and why a proved stayer in Beau Geste was discarded as a possible place-getter in the Birthday Handicap. If the writer had a really successful system of finding winners or any other method of coralline easy money it would not be divulged to a casual correspondent.

Paddon has only had a couple of starts for a long time, winning in his first effort at Te Rapa and running second in the Cornwall Handicap at Ellerslie. On the latter occasion he is stated to have looked all over a winner half-way down the straight, but Seatown headed him in the last bit to score by a neck. Paddon is undoubtedly back to his best form and he should be hard to dispose of in his next engagement. He is a great galloper and likes the soft going. i Black Duke has not had much luck on his northern trip. At Wanganui he got away badly and failed to get into

the money. On the opening day of the Great Northern meeting ho went well in the Members’ Handicap, dead-heat-ing for third place with Awarere. He did not get a good run on that occasion. On the Monday he was again unlucky, when he had to go nnder to Lucy Rose in the King George Handicap.

Last season the time returned by the winner of the Great Northern Steeples was 7min 52sec, which constituted a record for the race. With that exception Uralla’s time was the fastest recorded for some years. Prior to last Monday’s contest, Mary Bruce was the last mare to win the big lepping ’ event at Ellerslie, she having scored in 1923.

Reports from Wingatui show that the northern representative, Handy, made an exhibition of the opposition in the Hunters’ Steeplechase. Unfortunately, the Feramorz gelding is badly afflicted in the wind.

Too much use is stated to have been made of Maori Boy in the Carbine Plate at Ellerslie, and when the straight was reached he could not go on with it. He had been made the hottest favourite of the meeing, being entrusted with £5500.

Lucy Rose when she raced at Rangitikei furnished southerners with an insight into her possibilities, and it was not long following upon her return north that she scored over varying distances. Her success in the King George Handicap at Ellerslie was stated to have been a highly attractive effort and further enhanced her reputation.

Sleepy Sol is reported to have received injuries to lus head when he fell in the Penrose Hurdles at Ellerslie, and he may consequently not be able to race again for a time. The Marble Arch gelding had been schooling exceptionally well prior to the meeting and had been expected to show up in jumping events during the winter months.

The father of the seven-year-old boy who disposed of a quarter share of the Cragadour ticket in the London Stock Exchange sweep on the Derby for £12,000 will now have every reason to congratulate himself. Such is the luck of the game.

Bisox was reported to be slightly amiss after her race in the Cornwall Handicap at Ellerslie, but there is plenty of time to get her well for the winter meetings at Trentham and Riecarton.

Seatown, who won two of the leading flat handicaps at the Auckland meeting, may tie raced on Sydwey courses in the spring. Mr J. I‘redric has had bad lucn with Seatown’s dam, fcjeasprite, in the last two seasons. On each occasion she slipped twin colt toals to Chief Ruler, this year she is in foal to Limond.

Standfast won the second division of the Jervois Handicap in good style (comments the Auckland Estar), and on the second day he put in another good performance, when he finished third to Lucy Rose and Black Duke in the King George Handicap, seven furlongs, for there were several good ones behind him. The latter was his first effort in open company and lie should prove hard to beat even in this class.

1 Roman Abbey was a very unlucky horse at the Great Northern meeting. He and Mangam were in front in the Great Northern Hurdles half a mile from home and he had to go under to 'Mister Gamp at the finish. On the second day lie looked as though lie was going to win the Great Northern feteepleelia.se before the hill was reached the last time, for he was going so well, but when Uralla put in her claim on the summit she soon ran past him. Roman Abbey, however, struggled on to get second place. He is a fine jumper, and if taken to Wellington is sure to go well.

Mr G. A. Kain has sold the stallion Solferino to Mr Gordon, of Waimate. The old horse was well advertised at Dunedin. On the first day, in the Brighton Handicap, he was responsible for all the place-getters—Great Star, 'Salmo Salar and Narrative. Fabriano represented him in the Otago Steeplechase, and Waving Corn won the Tradesmen’s. On the Monday, Great Star and Taboo were first and third in the Wairongoa Handicap; Fabriano was second in the Wingatui Steeplechase, and Narrative third in the Invermay. On the third day Fabriano won again, Salmo Salar was second, Great Star third, and Waving Corn third.

The exodus to Sydney for the early spring racing commenced last week, when the Maunganui took the teams of H. Lorigan and E. Yuille. Lorigan departed with Oratrix, Concentrate, Cimabue, ltoyal Duke. Chief Singer, Oral and the rising two-year-old colt by Chief Ruler—Martianette. Yuille took Joy Bird, Kilbronsyth, Catuna and Sneerer. The first three-named belong to his patron Mr W. Higgins, who had a profitable trip earlier in the season with Joy Bird, whose form since her return has not been up to the mark. Catuna is a maiden four-year-old by Catmint, who ran fourth at the Otaki meeting. With heavy tracks likely to be encountered in Sydney in the near future he may soon get on the winning list. Sneerer is a four-year-old gelding by Cynic—The Hook. His flat racing form was negligible, but on tbe opening day at Otaki lie beat all but the winner, Lady Gay, in the hack hurdles. A rise of 61b. found him well beaten on the Monday, and altogether the form was very moderate, but Sneerer might. improve in Sydney. EGMONT-WANGANUI HUNT MEETING. PRINCIPAL EVENT TO HUIRANGI GIRL.
