GUINEAS CANDIDATE. SEVERE’S BRIGHT PROSPECTS. (By “Binocular.”) llorowhcnua was eased up after the Grand National meeting, but is buck in tho activo ranks once again. It is meantime uncertain whether B. 11. Morris will bo free to ride Severe hi tho AVanganui Guineas, in which the Awapuni throe-year-old should race prominently. S. Anderson rode her to-day. Tho five-year-old mare AVahino Rcihi, whose form fell away after winning a race at Thames, is reported to be working well at To Rapa. Chrysology is. stated from tho south 10 be bowling along freely in his work. However, one has to go back a couple of years to find a success standing to his credit.

In the St. Leger, says a London cable, Flash Bye will bo ridden by R. A. Jones instead of by J. Brennan, and Pry II will be ridden by T. Weston instead of M. Beary. The Colossus-Just So filly in the Debutante Slakes at Wanganui lias been named AVaiongona, and tho Hunting Song-Tea Doll filly Gay Doll, while tho Gay ShiuldPersis colt will race as Gay Chief. - Tho name Thomson has figured prominently in the jockeys’ ranks in the Dominion for years past. A newcomer, the northern light-weight apprentice, W. M. Thomson, has been engaged for Crooning and Orefield at the Avondale meeting. Gay Circle, who was a winner at AVingatui, was got by Gay Shield from Nucleus, by LuculJus-Persis, by Murble Arch-Latona, by Plioobus Apollo from Antelope, by Apremont. Gay Circle is engaged in tlie Dunedin Guineas.

King Roy will have bis next race in tlie Avondale Cup and, fit and well, the Te Rapa horse will have to bo taken into account at the weights. However, he will be meeting strong opposition and lie will need to give of liis very best. Tlie principal race at the Masterton spring meeing will carry in addition to the stake a handsome silver cup, value £IOO, presented by Mrs V. Riddiford, and it will be known as the Vivian Riddiford Memorial Cup. Reports of the Adelaide Guineas won by tlie Windbag colt Beamish Boy, who is out of the Absurd mare Roseglow, show that ho not only won, but gave none of his opponents a chance, aud set a now race record of 1.40. Beamish Boy is owned by Mrs E. E. Jolly, having been a gift from her husband.

Wait and See, who has been on tho easy list, is again among tho active workers, under the guidance of C. Morse, at Takanini. At her best this mare possesses the capability, and ii all goes well with her she should prove the stable’s best representative this season.

As far as his preparation has advanced tlie Gay Sliield-Kitty Barlo.ve colt lias done very well at 'iakanini, and bears an improved appearance. Having been leased by J. T. Jamieson, it is probable that he will eventually bo raced in Australia. Ho is at present being put through his early education by It. Miller. Knoclclin has not been given much work of a serious nature lately, but she is in excellent order to take on spring engagements. When she wont wrong last year she was tho popular pick for tho Stewards’ Handicap, and if she trains on all right she will be in the discussions of that event again, prior to which she is likely to liavo a race or two.

It is not often that there is any doubt about tlie pedigree of an important winner in England, but such is tlie case with Quashed, who won tho Prince Edward Handicap last Friday. She is described as a brown filly by Obliterate from Verdict, but she is not in the English Stud Book because of tho podigreo of her durn not being traceable. The Curragh trainer, “Jack” Rogers, has won every important three-year-old race in Ireland this year. Smokeless (winner of the Irish One Thousand) added the Irish Oaks to the list on July 24. The other winners have been Museum (1 wo lliouand and Derby) and African Lily (Baldoyle Derby). Museum also won the Ebor Handicap at York two weeks ago. One of the first of tho progeny of Laughing Prince is a two-year-old chestnut gelding from Enthusiasm. The youngster is tlie property of Mr' T. A. Duncan and, although lie has not yet been broken in, he is being well eared for before coinnienc-

ing his education for racing. A well-grown chestnut, with a silver mane and tail, he lias not yet been named, but is known to his attendant as Peter Pan, owing to similarity in colour and markings to tho good Australian performer. Judging by the manner in which Night Parade was kept out of his ground in the Otago Hunt Club Steeples, his rider apparently laboured under the impression that another round had to be travelled (comments “Sentinel”), lie did make a move after landing over the water jump three furlong's from home, but he had a remote chance of giving Money Mine a long start. Night Parade was ridden a waiting race, but waited far too long. Friday Night made the fastest gallop over seven furlongs at Riccarton on Saturday, once again displaying the gradual improvement which ho has made of lato, states the Press. Ho and Glenavon raced abreast to well into the straight, but Friday Night had tho better of the contest in the run home, and finished a length in front of his stable companion. There is no doubt that this horse has never been properly right, because of his leg ailments, and this is the first time he has boon fit enough to show his capabilities. Mhcther, however, lie will remain sound is a question that time only will decide. Sceutum, who easily won the South Australian Grand National Hurdles a fortnight gao, demonstrated how a horse can come back after a serious injury earlier m his career. When contesting the Emo Hurdles at Caulfield in 1930 he fell and fractured a shoulder, but after a speh of three years lie was able to ho returned to his training quarters. Sceutum, now twelve years old, is a son of doughty Poitrel, winder of the 1920 Melbourne Cup. He is owned by Mr A. Varcoe, of Midicent, and is trained by J. McKinnon, lhe Grand National gave him his most important success, although five years ago lie set up a South, Australian record for a mile ana a quarter when he won the Fisher Handicap.

At the Rosebery races, during which heavy rain foil, the New Zealand horses Silver Jubilee, Scratclimere Scar, and Grand Sport had their first races this Sl> in B the Flying Handicap Silver Jubilee ran particularly well, and it is considered that ho would have won had Ills condition been slightly further advanced.
