SENIOR FOR N.Z. CUP.

ROYAL SAXON REAPPEARS.

(By “Binocular.”)

Provided ho trains on satisfactorily, Senior, who is now an inmate of F. Davis’s stable at Woodville, may contest the New Zealand Cup. The Foxton Racing Club has decided on a win and place system of betting for the forthcoming spring meeting, with a dividend barometer for the convenience of investors.

Tho southerner Tooley Street is a speedy sort, but his manners are open to improvement. They meantime discount his chances in a raco.

Serlodi, the winner of the King’s Cup at Brisbane, is a six-ye.ar-old by Lodi from Sorbini, by Seremond-Mabina, by SyceRhyney, by Grafton. Master Musk was priced by a Dunedin owner during tho Grand National meeting, but the 500gns. asked for put a stop to the business.

Gainsay registered bis second success in the Ladies’ Bracelet nt New Plymouth, and this member of L. Knapp’s stablo should go on to still hotter tilings. Petrarch, tho winner of tho EginontWanganui Hunt Cup, scored in tho Hawke’s Bay Steeplechase in June, but his record is hardly in keeping with his breeding. However, ho may now carry on tho good work. Alchemic, who won tho final event at New Plymouth on Thursday, is ownod and trained at Ashhurst by W. Bailey. As a two-year-old bo displayed groat promise, and his breeding is such that ho should develop into a high-class thrce-ycar-old. Reports from Wanganui state that tho two-year-old fillies Moquctto (Limond — Motley) and Imposture (Posterity—lmpetuous) have pleased in their track work. The pair may bo given their first race under silk in tho Dcbutanto Stakes at Wanganui.

The secretary of the Danncvirkc Hunt Club has received advice from tho Minister of Internal Affairs that tiie club’s application for tho full rebate of 2g per cent, on the totalisator tax in respect of its recent race meeting lias been granted. This means that the Hunt Club will show a profit on tho meeting. Royal Saxon, tvlio has not raced fife two seasons, is to bo taken in hand again and will bo placod in G. Fielding’s stable at Iticcartoii. As a five-year-old Royal Saxon won the Invorcargill Cup in 2.6 1-5 and is the joint holder with Rod Wink oi the time record for the race.

The Australian-bred Emissary, who last season was successful in tho C.J.C. Middle Park Plate, is reported from Canterbury as doing well in his preparation for early spring racing. This four-year-old is mentioned as likely to develop into one of tho best sprintors in the Dominion.

Since resuming work a short time ago Jalldy Karo has not been overtaxed, _ but he is in the pink of condition to begin a further preparation, writes “Whalebono.” This horse did not do as well as usuul last season; still, be was not over-raced, and that will be a bit in bis favour during tlie current term. It is quite likely that Jalldy Karo will be given an opporcunity to inako good as a hurdler later in the season. Tho northern owner, Mr C. M. Emanuel, has not had the best of luck with his horses for some tiqie, but Hunting Maid did sufficiently well in finishing second to Gay Defence at the Pakuranga Hunt mooting to indicate that she may not bo long in crediting him with a. win. The best feature of Hunting Maid’s porformaneo was tho solid fashion in which she finished after being badly placed early. Tho Woodville trainer F. W. Davis will probably have a team of seven horses at the Wanganui meeting, and with some promising young material in his stable, he no doubt has hopes of a successful season. Ilaut Monde, Heritage and Plato are three-year-old members of tho team whose reappearance will be awaited with inlerPotor Beckford, tho handsome full-bro-ther to Good Hunting (Hunting Song— Sarty) is to race in the interests of Mr G. D. Beatson (says a Ilawko’s Bay report). He is one of tho few solid-looking Hunting Songs, and though nowhere near wound up lias alroady shown ability. The French jockey, C. Bouillon, first horseman lor Baron E. do Rothschild, has not been in luok this year. Tho stablo had Pcniche and Vignes de Seigneur engaged in the Oaks. Ho chose the latter and Penicho won. Tho Baron had three runners in the Grand Prix do Paris— Pemclio. Bokbul and Erudite and again Bouillon’s luck was out. He preferred Bokbul, who ran nowhere, while Erudite "in' a recent letter to a friend, the Randwick trainer F. McGrath stated that ho had high hopes of Australia Fair for the Epsom Handicap. He had also a good opinion of tho New Zealander Master Brierly Peter Pan’s trouble was shoulder rheumatism, and the horse was rapidly improving. “Unless there is a good three year-old out this year,” wrote McGrath.

“the old horse will win the Cup again.” There are several vory line-looking yearlings in Hawke’s Bay at the present time (writes “llio Barb”). One of them is Mr Duncan Hyslop's chestnut colt by Tidal from Crown Com, by Crown Imperial II from Mungista, by Btepniak from Madder. For his age ho is a dandy and a horse every inch, with an abundance of power, yet carrying all the characteristics of the thoroughbred. Two yearlings belonging to Mr Dcaly, of Wellington, have been received by it. Brough, of ilawora, to bo prepared for next season’s racing. Both are by the young Limond sire Resinous, one being a well-grown lilly out ol Fairy Girl (Aruusio —Pretty Girl) and the other a colt out of I.ittlo Thrush (Birkdule —Pretty Girl). It is hoped that they may turn out as useful as several horses raced some seasons ago by Mr Dealy’s father. Beamish Boy, the winner of tho Adelaide Guineas, is of interest to Zealanders, as ho is owned by Mr E. IS. Jolly, a good patron of the Dominion’s yearling's sales, and the colt is also out of an Absurd mare. Beamish Boy is a brown by Windbag from Rosoglow, by Absurd — Rose Queen, by King Rufus. Rosoglow was bred by Mr G. M. Currie in 192 b, and is a sister to The '1 horn, and a half-sister to Ruanui and Thespis. Roseglow was purchased as a yearling at the Trenthaui salos by Mr Jolly for 1075 guineas. Of the various hundreds of yearlings sold in Sydney in .1954, few have proved out of the ordinary, and three that did, Young Idea, Valiant Chief and Bililla, went to another State. Going upon the opinion of the V.R.C. liandicappcr, as oxpressed in his Melbourne Cup weights, the best lliroo-year-olds in New South Wales are Wykcham and Homer, and the latter is New Zealand-bred. Two of the highest-priced youngsters who remained in New South Wales havo yet to distinguish themselves but. as is not unusual, there may bo marked developments in the spring.
