RACING NEWS.

FROM STABLE AND COURSE. By “Binocular.” Essential is expected to make the trip through to the Gisborne meeting. Keen and Heather Blond are two Hawke’s Bay representatives who have been turned out for a spell. Grand Tea was added to the list a couple of weeks ago. The Tea Tray gelding is to be accorded a few weeks' spell.

The half-brother to Hoariri and Taneriri, by Acre from Country Picnic, is stated to be a neat-looking youngster although a bit on the small side.

Star Comet, Daytaro, Pompcius, Luminary and Te Koroko are being qualified with the hounds in the Waikato. They will race at the Pakuranga and Waikato Hunt Club’s meetings.

Hawke’s Bay reports mention that the two-year-olds Head Strong, Royal Parade and Merry Melody are filling out nicely and promise to make their presence felt in the spring.

Reports from Riccarton indicate that there is a possibility that Radiate, who has been showing promising form in the south, will not be a runner in the Wellington Steeplechaso.

Nightdew has been on the easy list during the past lortnight owing to having developed lameness after a gallop, and he will not come north from Riccarton for the Wellington meeting.

Tho Great Northern Steeplechase winner, Uralla, will not make the trip south for the Wellington meeting, and the field will thereby be depleted of one of the favoured division.

Magna Charta is reported to have ricked a shoulder whilst working on the tracks at Riccarton last week and he has suffered from lameness since. There is a doubt whether he will be at Trentham.

Bright Land, who created a very favourable impression by his performances over the fences in his Great Northern engagements, will have G. Holland as his pilot at Trentham next week.

Wiltshire, winner of last year’s Grand National Steeplechase at Christchurch, appears in tho nominations for next month’s race, being tho only representative of last year’s field of eight to again figure.

Wanganui reports state that there is a possibility that Zareno may not make the trip to Trentham. The defection of the Chief Ruler filly would no doubt be appreciated by some of the owners with representatives in the Trial Plate.

R. McTavish will ride Marble King and Merle in their Trentham engagements; R. Olive will be the pilot of Kawini, while F. Foster, who rode Uralla when she won tho Great Northern Steeplechase, will ride Glena Bay.

The winner and runner-up of last year’s Winter Cup, Bisox and Ivaiti respectively, have again ■ been accorded nominations for next month’s race. Black Mint, Royal Game, Taboo, Town Bank and Royal Saxon, who ran unplaced twelvo months ago, are again included.

The South Island representation in tho Grand National Steeplechase next month threatens to be particularly meagre, there being only three southerners nominated as compared with ‘id northerners. In tho Grand National Hurdles the North Island contributes 30 of the 41 therein, while of the Winter Cup candidates, 31 are from the north as compared with 23 from southern stables.

The following horses have been accorded nominations for both the Grand National Steeples and Hurdles at Riecarton next month:—Young Thurnham, Mangnni, Nuknmai, Radiate, Tvawini, Wiltshire, Kamehamelia, Kauri Park, Horomea, Uralla, King’s Guard and Roman Abbey.

The Jticcnrton mentor, F. T). Jones, has three of his team members entered for Trcntham, but Belcaire is-not likely to make the trip. Arikiwai and Marsham, however, will cross on Monday night provided Arikiwai is fit to make the trip, but, if not, the journey north will not ho undertaken.

No horse at Trcntham is 'wintering better than Ex Dono, comments “Vedette.” He looks in great order for the commencement of his preparation of his three-year-old racing. While lie has not grown up in the air, he has thickened and lengthened out in a most pleasing style. He should prove a good stake earner this coming season and some of the classic evepts may seo him not disgrace himself.

Morian, who finished fourth in the Novice Plate at Ashburton last Saturday after being last away, is' a three-year-old gelding by Purple Spur from Cuirasse, being owned by his breeder, Mr H. Ensor. When his behaviour at the harrier improves, it is anticipated that better results may come his way in similar company.

Schorr, the aged gelding by Gay Comet from Red Pine, has joined A. E. Neale’s stable at Bulls. During the present season Schorr got on the winning list on several occasions, and is a useful gelding at his best. He will most likely do lus future racing over hurdles and should do well in that department when he has liad the required experience.

Among the youngsters now being handled by C. Giesler at A\ ingatui is the brother to Night Effort, who has been named Glorious Uncertainty. At the present time he is on the small side but a well-shaped colt, and looks as if lie will gallop early.

When Sneerer ran second in the hurdle race at Moorfield last month the distance was two miles. There were only six starters, live carried 9.0, so it will bo seen they were by no means a good lot. They took 2mm. 57sec. to run the two miles, and Sneerer was beaten by two lengths and a half. All the same, it was very hard luck for Yuille that Sneerer should have so badly injured himself •at Canterbury Park last Saturday that he died later.

M.J. Carroll, the Frankton trainer, has booked space on the Ulimaroa, which leaves Auckland for Sydney next Friday, for Paganelli and Tasty. It was at- first announced that he would not leave till about a fortnight later, but probably he decided to start earlier, as G. Paul will bo going over on the same steamer with Aussie and Papatu.

The rising two-year-olds Praise, by Limoiul with Eulogy, and Ozone, by Saltash from Tlio Welkin mare Aries, in P. V. Mason’s team, have attracted much attention by the manner in which they have executed some short sprints lately at Riccarton. Praise especially has shown much promise and in the opinion of'more than one trainer is a “born galloper.” Ozone is a big colt, standing 10 hands, but displays a lot ol' quality and also gets over the

ground in pleasing style. Ho will take longer than the filly, who gives an indication of coming to hand quickly. Her efforts in Sydney will naturally be awaited with much interest.

Three of tire stock of the New Zea-land-bred sire, Nigger Minstrel, are now in work. One is a very nice filly, out of Dainty Step, which J. Sullivan is preparing at Woodville. At Marton A. Hall has a filly out of Civilisation, the dam of Civility and Siaosi, and J. Morris is training Tar Baby, a daughter of a Projectile mare from Daisy Paul, tho dam of Ngata. Unfortunately, Ngata’s dam cannot bo entered in the Stud Book owing to a flaw in tho pedigree of her dam, Daisy Clipper, whose dam, Lady Grey, went back to the Arab.

A friend of W. S. Bagliy has received a letter from him. Bagby is at present riding in Mauritius for a Colombo owner. Writing on 18th May, he states: —“I have a great team to ride. The fees are 50 rupees (about £3 15s) a losing ride, and 15 per cent, of the stake for wins. I have won 23 races since I landed here. We had races hero yesterday, and I won two. It is good all round, as you sign a contract to ride a certain weight, and while that contract is good, your employer has to supply you with free board and lodging and wages for riding work.” Bagby also mentioned that B. Rosen was doing particularly well in Ceylon and had prospered financially. AUSTRALIAN RACING. MELBOURNE, July 4. Tire following are the final acceptors for tho Grand National Hurdles race, of 15 sovs each, with 2000 sovs added, a distance of three miles:—Valbee 10.12, Iventle 10.8, Adsum 10.6, Cobranvcil 10.5,' May Day 10.5, Audit 9.9.

known jockeys, Percival and Daniels, each for one month, the former for crossing too sharply in a race, anti the latter for interference during a race.
