FROM STABLE AND COURSE. (By “Binocular.”) On the opening day at Riccarton the North Island won £2835 in stake money as compared with £1065 by the South Island. The successes of Aurora Borealis and Toxeunia in the two principal events on the opening day at Riccarton gave to the North Island a commanding advantage. Matters did not run so favourably for North Island horses in attendance at Riccarton on Thursday, the North winning but ono race, while they. filled second berths twice and third berths four times. Seven firsts, six seconds and four thirds to the South Island on the second day at Riccarton brought in £2665 in stake money which gave to the southerners an advantage of £6O at the conclusion of /Thursday’s racing. Favourites have not had the best of innings at Riccarton to date, three favourites winning on the opening day and two on Thursday. However, thero have not been any extreme outsiders prevailing, one fifth and one eighth favourite furnishing the longest dividend payors. H. Goldfinch, who held the lead at one stage of tho old season insofar as the jockeys’ championship was concerned, rode two winnors on the opening day at Riccarton, but was not able to add to his account on Thursday. Tho Auckland hurdle and cross country horseman, H. Dulieu, lu)d tho honour of piloting the winner of tho Grand National Steeplechase, Aurora Borealis, while on Thursday he rode Kapuna to victory in the Beaufort Steeplechase. The Riccarton horseman, A. E. Ellis, who secured an early advantage in the new season by piloting four of his mounts to victory at the Christchurch Hunt meeting, was associated with Toxeunia, the Winter Cup winner—his only success at Riccarton up to to-day. Last scason’3 champion horseman, H. Gray, had not enjoyed the best of innings at Riccarton up to to-day, his record being lwo seconds only. .On the opening day lie finished second in the Cashmere Plato on Air Laddie, whiie Thursday saw him fill a like position on Arikinui in the August Handicap.

Prior to to-day not a single mentor had had the satisfaction of leading in two winners at Riccarton, although the training centres of Washdyke, Wingatui and lrentliam had been 1 ’ credited with two wins apiece. Awapuni’s account to date stands at one win, one second and one third. Grand Acre, who showed up im a period in the Avonhead Handicap at Riccarton on Tuesday, is tv four-year-old gelding by Aero from Elinore, by Sylvia Park. He was originally owned by tho local sportsman, Mr VY. White, and was trained at Awapuni by G. W. New, but while he always showed a good turn iof speed, hio staying powers were extremely doubtful. Snowfall is bred to stay, being by Balboa from a Martian mare, but the southerner failed to figure in the stake distribution on tho first two days at Riccarton. Carrying 10.3., the southerner made quite a creditable stowing when he finished fourth in the Grand National Steeplechase, but ho could not improve on that position in the Beaufort' Steeplechase on Thursday, lie, again attending the three placegetters home. „ Awapuni promised to hold very fair prospects iof playing a part in the finish ot the Grand National Hurdles at Riccarton on Thursday with Mister Gamp and Llyn Du to represent this centre. However, the topweight, who suffered some interference through others falling, could not do better than finish seventh, while Llyn Du occupied fifth berth at the finish. Mister Gamp continues to remain high up in the weights and it is time that lie was more leniently treated. Blue Paper was Awapuni’s sole representative to figure in the placings at Riccarton on Thursday, the i s aper Monc> til y finishing third to the two southerners, Charineuse and Desert Song, in the Wooltston Handicap. Mrs McDonald, the lady mentor, had won £555 at the southern fixture prior to to-day’s racing.

Carinthia, the winner of the Grand National Hurdles at Riccarton on lhursday, was bred in the Auckland district, but has been owned in the south for some time past. A six-year-old gelding by Lucullus Minsk, he boasts a pedigree teeming with excellent strains of blood, having been got by Lucullus (son of Ard Patrick, Lnglish Derby winner) from Minsk, by MarttanStephanie, by Stepniak (grandson of Musket)—Fanna, by Maxim (son of Musket). It is not often that such attractive breeding is attached Ip a hurdler.

Mangani, who was sent out favourite for the Grand National Hurdles at Riccarton on Thursday, has had a mixed season over fences. Ho was a strongly fancied candidate for the Gr'eat Northern Steeplechase last June, but he lost ground by running out at every fence and naturally failed in consequence. In the Wellington Steeplechase lie went more kindly _ and managed to hold off the faster finishing effort of Aurora Borealis. On the final day at Trentham |>e went out of commission at the first fence, but made amends by making an exhibition pf the field in the hurdle race at the Christchurch Hunt nieeting. He was allowed to drop out of the big' steeples on the opening day at Riccarton in preference for the Grand National Hurdles on Thursday—an event in which he scored, last year. However, it was not to be for another fall was debited against his record.

Last year H. -Dulicu had the pleasure of winning the Grand National Hurdles on Mangani and his chance ride on Aurora Borealis on the oponing day at Riccarton enabled him to bring home the first leg •in the big jumping double. As he had been engaged to pilot Mangani in the Grand National Hurdles, he appeared - to hold bright prospects of accounting for the double, but it was not to be. Dulieu has enjoyed a remarkable run of successes during tho past twelve months and ho now occupies a foremost position among the jumping riders of the Dominion. G.N. HURDLE WINNERS. ONLY TWO HAVE WON TWICE. The public in attendance at Riccarton on Thursday apparently gave the Auckland candidate, Mangani, a good chance of joining the ranks of horses who have proved capable of winning, tho Grand National Hurdles on more than one occasion. However, the northerner came to grief and the list of double winners still remains at a two. Liberator won in successive years, 1893 and 1894, as did Gladful in 1921 and

1922. Following is the list of Grand National winners since 1920:— st. lb 1920 P. Delargey’s Hylans 11 6 1921 W. R. Kemball’s Gladful ... 11 2 1922 W. R. Komball’s Gladful ... 11 2 1923 — R. Acton-Adams’ General Advance 9 11 1924 — W. J. Anstis’ Locbson 11 4 1925 — A. H. King’s Penury Rose ... 9 4 1926 H. M. Campbell’s Comical ... 11 4 1927 J. J. Lewis’ Wharnclilfe 10 0 1928 — S. G. Davidson’s Nukumai ... 11 11 1929 — Bradney and Wood’s Mangani 9 2 1930 W. H. and C. L. Obell’s Carinthia _ 10 8 No horse has proved capable of winning the Grand National Steeplechase and the Grand National Hurdles in the same year, although Aurora. Borealis made a bold, bid to do so this year, tho Day Comet mare running second to Carinthia on Thursday after winning the Steeplechase on Tuesday. Dummy won the hurdles in 1896 and the steeplechase two years later, while Haydn won the hurdles in 1901 and then scored in the cross country event twelve months later. They are the only two horses who have won the two races. HOW IT IS DONE. BETTING TELEPHONES. Apparently there has been a 6tir recently in Australia too in regard to telephone connections for illicit betting purposes. The Sydney Sun has the following:— “The legion that never was listed operates in tho city every day a pony meeting is held; and starting price shops make tremendous profit from their illicit activities. At intervals the police raid somo too obtrusive S.P. saloons and much is made of this by the department in order to convey to tho public that it is ever on the heels of illegal betting. But -the fact is that tho S.P. shops are flourishing in the city of Sydney as they never flourished before, and that every gambler—except the members of the Police Force —knows where to turn to stake his money on any race at any meeting. “It is only fair to admit that the Police Department is somewhat handicapped in its investigations by tho extrai ordinary attitude of the Federal Telephone Department, and by the encouragement which is extended to certain big bookmakers by the most prominent racing men of the city. “None of these shops can function without several telephone lines. All of them can obtain these services in the twinkling iof an eye, though the ordinary person may have to wait weeks to become a subscriber. The Telephone Department declares that its conscience would be seared if it were to disclose to the police what it learnt by listening in to the conversations conducted with these shops by the multitude of patrons. The general welfare of the community has to suffer for this whimsical policy. • “The Deputy Director of Fosts and Telegraphs said in reply- to tho foregoing that it was true that the department did not listen into the conversations of its*clients, and it was also true that it would not be prepared to relate the naturq of conversations to anyone. Ho denied that the department gaVe preference to . any class of subscriber, and said that ordinary subscribers did not have to wait for weeks [or a telephone service.” « DANNEVIRKE RACING CLUB.
