Lady Fingers is an early fancy far the Shorts Handicap. Sho did all that was asked of her at Masterton.

Zev, who is to meet Papyrus in the matoh at Belnfcmt Park, New York, on the 20th, is a brown colt by The Finn from Mrs Kearney, by Planudes (St. Simon —Lonely)from Courtplaster by Sandrhigham by St. Simon. The Finn, the sire of Zev is by Ogden by Kilwarlin from Oriole by Bend Or. It will • thus be seen that one does not liave t'Q go far back in Zev's pedigree to find the well-known English sires. Zev is usually raced in blinkers.

The weather conditions at Trentham yesterday morning were so bad that all the training work was restricted to half-pace.

Quest came with a great run in the finish of the Macara Handicap, showing that the New Zealand Cup candidate is well forward.

News was received from Mr W, G. Stead that Sasanof liropped dead on Sunday. Mr Stead adds: "Sasanof was being ridden -by my eldest son who was getting him ready for the Hastings Show. Hector Gray used to nay that he had great courage, so I suppose his heart was strained when racing. His performances in. beating Desert Gold and Gloaming, besides winning every gold cup race in New Zealand, will hardly ever be equalled. In addition, Sasanof had the honour of being the only horse who has won both the Melbourne and New Zealand Cups"

A lady at the recent Hawkc"* Bay races made a deep study or Hie horses running in the fifth rape, with the object of securing some of the financial potentialities that were floating elusively in the air, relates the " Tribune. * Having done so she paused and looked around the lawn for an inspiration. Sure enough, it brushed past her leg, in the person of an acquain v apce, whose christian nam c was Joyce. "This win is for me," said the lady, and going nap on her feminine instincts, she plumped on " Jvidy Joyce," who sailed past the post a winner. Betting is sure an occult science.
