HYMESTRASON’S INJURY

It is feared that Mr. R. E. Hatch’s gelding, Hymcstrasou, will be off the strength for 12 months as the result o± the injury ho sustained during tho running of the AAvapuni Steeplechase on Thursday. Hymcstrasou hit tho hencoop a couple of furlongs after the start and put a stiflo out. Tho leg Avas very sore yeaterday, but Mr. Hatch thinks they managed to get the dislocation reduced, though it will not bo possiblo to speak with any degree of certainty until the swelling Avas a very unfortunate accident foi the Awapuni oAvner-trainer, because Hymcstrasou Avas in great fettle and high hopes were entertained of his ehanecs at Christchurch. The final payments for the Grand National Steeplechase, Winter Cup and Grand National Hurdles are duo next Thursday (August 7), when acceptances for all other first-day events also close. Handicaps for the minor events on tho first day a.rc duo to make their appearance on Monday. The* Lirnond—Full Swing colt who was purchased on bohalf of Mr. E. L. Jolly at the Trentham yearling sales last January for 1500 guineas has joined his owner ’s other horses in Adelaide. Mr. Jolly has not been a lucky buyer) but hopes arc entertained for this colt, who has been named Fulniond. In view of the fact that Limerick has made another trip to Australia, Avherc he is likely to Avin more money in tho spring, if ho is able to race, the present situation as regards the leading stake Avinners of Australia' and Ncav Zealand is of interest. Gloaming heads the list with £43,100, while other big winners are Amounis £40,076, Limerick £35,279 10/-, Heroic £38,0G2, Eurythmic £36,891, Windbag £32.858, David £31,410, Carbine £29,620, Spcarfclt £28,713, Cetigne £27,206, Poitrel £26,920, Mollison £26,914, Whittier £26,596 and The Hawk £26,284. The only horses in this list in work are Amounis and Limerick, either of Avhom may pass Gloaming’s total this season if he trains on. In England horses are put to jumping very early, but in Australia and New Zealand they are not raced in this department till their sphere of usefulness on the flat is at an end. This is an unAviso policy from any point of view, writes ‘Historicus.” That good money can be Avon in jumping events even in our small Dominion is clearly demonstrated by the fact that Aurora Borealis A\'on no less than £3585 during last season, Kalalcaua, who broke down in the Manawatu Hunt Cup .on Thursday, was taken back to Hawke’s Bay yesterday.
