FROM STABLE AND COURSE.

HORSES FOR AUSTRALIA. INVASION OF SPRING CANDIDATES (By “Binocular.”) Senior, who recently returned from Australia, is now a member of F. Davis’s team at Woodvillc. Gay Sheila, Gay Blonde, Cay Sheik, Gay Brunette, and Gay Lot will leave for Australia next mouth in charge of JO. Poi>c. The name of Sea Wrack has been claimed for the Laekham —Orazone filly in T. It. George’s stable at Trcntham. She will be raced in partnership bv George and Mr S. 13. Hill. In the majority of the races at Trontham there was not much difference between the loials of the win and the place pools, but in tho Pc!one Hack Handicap on the Thursday, the win investments were over £IOOO more. Whenuakura is a regular attendant at the 1-lawera tracks and is stated to be. putting plenty of energy into his pace, work. Indirations aro that- he is ready to run a merry half-milo already. The Gay Shield—Persis colt who sustained injuries through a fall on the road at Hawcra, although recovering, is still suffering from the effects. The accident may delay his departure to the other side indefinitely. Miss J. Cuff has applied for a trainer’s license and she will probably take charge of A. McKay’s stable at Riverton while the latter is in Australia with Tauramai. J. Fryer, the Hawcra mentor, has added to his team a five-vcar-old gelding by Callaghan from a Foremost mare, a halfsister to Glcngariff, a useful hurdler a few back. Taillight, a two-vcar-old by Day Comet from Owlscombe, by Autumnus from Glcnowlet, by C’lamanald from Madowln, who hails from the Stonyhurst families, is being highly spoken of as a result of his racing at Trcntham. Anslcm, a three-year-old gelding by Colossus from Lady Egletine, the dam of Green Linnet and Headlady, has been, sold to a pah-on of J. T. Jamieson's stable. Overtures were also made for Bantry, an Acre—Rapt youngster who won at his first start in public, but the offer was not entertained. The iron horse of tho south, Black Duke, raced but tile once at the Wellington meeting. The race at Trcntham aggravated a knee injury ho had sustained oarlier and it was decided not to take any risks by running him again. Probably he will be all right for tho Grand National meeting. Dcbham, who displayed plenty of promise at Trentham, in to form one of T. 11. George’s team for Australia. He is a two-year-old by Laekham from Deborah, by Martian —Hebrew Maid. Some of Deborah’s earlier progeny have raced, but with' disappointing results. Mr D. McLeod, wh» passed away at Hastings last week, was the father ol Mr D. H. McLeod, who formerly owned Araunah, a grey gelding by Hunting Song from the Marble Arch marc Rcwanga, all of whose progeny have been greys. Araunah was taken by Mr D. H. McLeod to Australia, and although lie w-as later disposed of A 1 r McLeod remained in residence there.

Silk Sox is being qualified with the Taranaki hounds. This big, good looking Royal Divorce gelding is stated to have taken very kindly to the jumping game, and it is probable that lie will be seen competing in hunt cup events in the near future. Silk Sox has shown good form on the flat on occasion, but it may be that he will make his mark at the jumping game. The New Zealand-bred Second Wind, who in his 107 charts recorded 21 wins, 20 seconds, and 13 thirds, and who has won £14,764 in prize money, has been sent to Mr E. Lee Stecre’s property at Toodvay, Western Australia, where he will end his davs. Since racing at tho Great Northern meeting, where lie was only started once, Kiltowyn has not been overtaxed. Ills tasks consisting of easy pace' work. Horan a good race in the York Handicap, but the heavy ground was against him. Provided he has been kept in regular work throughout the winter, he should be hard to beat in some of the big handicaps in the spring. . . Expectancy is to be retired to the stud and is to be mated with Night Raid. The Lucullus —Presumption filly is a young mare and is well enough bred to make a success as a stud matron. Expectancy was injured while racing at ’J e Rapa over 12 months ago and, although she has raced on a couple of occasions since, her trainer has found it a difficult tusk to keep her right. > The five-year-old Rivalh. who recently won the Brisbane Cup under 9.3, lias been sold to go to India, where lie will be trained by A. Higgins, who bad charge of the New Zealanders, Karapoti and Hercmiu, alter they left the Donnn-

ion. Rivalli won two races at the autumn meeting at Randwick, and lie is by Rivoli from No. 4. The purchase price of Rivalli is stated to have run into four figures. The well-known hurdle and cross-coun-try rider, W. Rennie, has acquired the liaining establishment of W. S. Jarvis, and intends establishing himself there an a trainer. He is expecting to make a start on a couple of horses tit an early date. Rennie was associated for many years with the well-known Waikato ownertrainer R. Hannon, and during his period c,f service there piloted numerous winners for the stable, which at that time enjoyed a great run of success in jumping events. An aristocratic mare following the hounds with the Egmont-Wanganui Hunt is Duckling, a four-year-old by Chief Ruler from Tamo Duck, thus a full sister to tho Auckland Cup winner Admiral Drake. When in training Duckling displayed plenty of pace in her trials hut failed with, the colours up. She is a good cut of a mare and her experience- in Hie hunting field may make her more solid. As the progeny of Chief Ruler have won over both the hurdles and over the big country there may yet bo a future for Duckling.
