NOT EOR AMERICA

Peter Pan, tho winner of the Melbourne Cup, mil do all his racing in Australia, according to a statement made by Mr. R. R. Dangar, his owner, when he returned to Sydney from Melbourne. Ho said that it had been suggested to him that the colt should be sent to tho United States. ( Ho would not entertain such an idea.

JOCKEYS’ WINNINGS

Tho successes of A. H. Eastwood at tho Canterbury Jockey Club’s New Zealand Cup meeting would have represented a largo earning in tho days of big stakes, but his 'gross payments amounted to £135, which was Teduced to £125 1/1 by deductions for tho wages tax and tho jockeys’ benevolent fund. The gross amounts earned by other riders were: L. G. Morris, £6l 12/; L. J. Ellis, £64; B. Brodie, £SO; S. Wilson, £49 12/; A. Messcrvy, £36 16/; E. Ludlow, £32; D. O’Connor, £2B 16/; W. J. McDowell, £27 4/; B. H. Morris, £26 5/; K. Yoitre, £25; .T. M. Pine, £22 8/; R. Covcny, £2l 12/; H. Wiggins, £2.1 12/.

AMMON RA RETURNING

Ammon Ra is to leave Sydney for Auckland by tho Marama to-morrow. He was entered for events at the Auckland Cup meeting, but has since been withdrawn, and will merely continue his spell in New Zealand. So far as a trip to America is concerned, his owner, Mr. C. C. Sheath, stated in Sydney last week that he would bo guided by the opinion of Mr. Pottie, veterinary surgeon, who had professionally attended the horse since his return from Melbourne.

TOMMY GEORGE LOOKING FOR HORSES

T. R. George, of Blenheim, who was in Christchurch for race week, as private trainer for Mr. J. J. Corry headed the winning list in New Zealand in each of the last two seasons. As tho result of the sequel to the Croupier case, George is out of employment, but he is launching out for himself. He purchased the two-year-old Bettwyscocd (Tea Tray—La Paix) at the sale of the late Mr. G. D. Greenwood’3 horses, and is now on the look-out for more horses to train. He will continue to make Blenheim his headquarters.

SON OF TE MONANUI

Te Monanui, which was a good racehorse in his day, was credited with his first winner when Monanui won tho Kamo sTano|cap, a race for) local horses, at the Whangarci meeting on Saturday. Monanui was always one of tho leaders, but ran very wide at the turn, and it looked as though Black Marlin, which camo through on the rails, would beat him, but when straightened up be finished on. well to scoro nicely. Monanui 13 from Lady Patience, a mare by Marble Arch that performed well in the colours of Mr. J. Hoey in the north. Mr. Hoey also Taces Monanui.

JOCKEY CLUB HANDICAP Irish Lancer is not the first Englishbred horse to ■win the Jockey Clud Handicap at Riccarton. Ringdove, which won in 1919, was an imported mare by Collar. She was a good performer, and when retired to the stud sho produced some smart gallopers, including the Te Bapa-trained Paganolli. Another of her descendants, Wild Pigeon, won the Oaks for Mr. E. L. Biddiford. Tho Wellington owner also had his colours carriod successfully in the Jockey Club Handicap by the imported horse, Boyal Divorce.

WELL-BBED BILLY

' Chock Say, winner of the G-lcnaray Handicap at the Hawke’s Bay meeting, is an exceptionally well-bred filly by Lord Qucx from Circlo Lass, by Gold Circle from Lady Dolaval, a granddaughter of that great stud matron, Frailty. Chock Say, which ran unplaced in her only start last season, accounted for some good hacks when she won at Hastings, and is evidently an improved filly.

A BRILLIANT GALLOPER

The success registered by The Quorn in the Members’ Handicap on the final day at Bicearton was a first-class effort, for he was np against strong opposition but won his race in great style. The half-brother to Nancy Leo has beon steadily improving since last winter, and gives every indication of developing into a high-class sprinter. So far The Quorn has never been successful boyond seven furlongs, but now that he has a bit of age on his side longer dis-

tances may not trouble him. However, he is a brilliant galloper, and if he retains his present form further successes seem assured for him.

THE LUCK OF THE GAME William Duncan, jockey, of Melbourne, may be somewhat careless about crossing a. field—ho is again under suspension—but ho is not only a good rider, but also a good judge. "Chiron,” of the Melbourne Australasian, mentions that after Top Hole had been scratched for the Melbourne Cup Duncan, thus loft without a mount, was given the choice of several; One of these was Yarramba (which finished second), and another Liberal (winner of the Victoria Derby). Duncan replied that he preferred to wait. Aftor the Melbourne Stakes had been decided Duncan elected to ride Peter Pan. That is not the only sample on record of Duncan’s judgment, and in that respect he can certainly give points to Michael Beary, principal rider for the Aga Khan. Beary’s decision when given, his choice of mounts in classics for his Highness has been almost consistently wrong. Duncan’s riding fee in the Cup was £257 10/, but he is understood to havo been laid nearly £IOOO by the winning owner, Mr. R. E. Dangar.
