MANAWATU ACCEPTANCES TO-NIGHT Owners and trainers are given a final reminder that acceptances for the Manawatu Hunt meeting, to be held at Awapuni next Saturday, are due to close at 9 o’clock this evening. BOUND FOR RICCARTON L. G. Morris left Awapuni yesterday en route to Riccarton and the horses he took were Clarion Call, Great Hope and Erebus. They are in great order for their southern engagements. Clarion Call and Great Hope have been entered for the Christchurch Hunt meeting next Saturday, the former being in the Homeby Steeples and tho latter in the Brabazon Handicap. RIDING AT POVERTY BAY The Awapuni horsemen, W. J. Broughton and G. R. Tattersall, will sport silk at the Poverty Bay Turf Club’s steeplechase meeting which is to be held on t!he Makaraka racecourse on Thursday and Saturday of this week. Broughton and Tattersall are flying through to Gisborne, leaving the Milson airport at one o’clock to-morrow afternoon. Brughton has a full book and among the horses he has been engaged for are Hinepit and Pladie. Tattersall is riding De Friend and Golden Blonde. RIDING ENGAGEMENTS FOR MANAWATU Among the riding engagements an-, nounced for Awapuni on Saturday are: J. Chaplin, Segra, in the Maiden Race, and Kohika, in the Hurdles. K. Brewer, Aubretia, in the Maiden Race. OMITTED FROM CARD GISBORNE, July 25. Omitted from the official acceptances for the Poverty Bay Turf Club’s meeting on Thursday, Minnow will carry 8.11 in the Hack Flat Handicap, and 8.12 in the Publicans’ Purse. NATIONAL PROSPECTS ENHANCED According to tho Christchurch StarSun, Nightbound, winner of the South Canterbury Steeplecase, will now be in strong demand at the forthcoming Grand National meeting to be held at Riccarton early next month, for he won in impressive style, beating Monastic, which finished strongly, by four lengths, with the first favourite, Black Banner, eight lengths away third. FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Defaulter has been withdrawn from the Wanganui Guineas, and his first race of the new season will be in the Avondale Guineas, to be followed by the Great Northern Guineas. Bodyline has been admitted to the Sydney pony ranks. In jumpers’ races in Germany a totalisator backer is able to insure against his horse falling. By payment of an additonal 10 per cent., or the equivalent of 6d on each 5s ticket, he buys the right to reecive his 5s back iu the event of the horse coming to grief. Another German innovation is the payment of four place dividends when a field exceeds 12. According to a message from Sydney Mr. R. J. Murphy has announced that Cuddle has been retired from raeing, and will be sent to the stud in New Zealand. Cuddle, who is eight years old and as a six-year-old she won the New Zealand Cup, the Auckland Cup, King’s Plate and Clifford Plate. The following year she did not start in the N.Z. Cup but she again accounted for the Auckland Cp, King’s Plate and Clifford Plate at Ellerslie. DEPARTURE FOR SYDNEY Stretto and Love Parade left Auckland for Sydney on Friday by the Wanganella. Stretto, who has gone in charge of her usual attendant, A. Moore, is to enter J. T. Jamieson’s stable at Randwick, while Love Parade will go on to Melbourne, where ho will be taken over by J. Fryer at Caulfield. During the last few weeks of her preparation Stretto has done everything required of her in a very pleasing manner and it is doubtful if she has ever looked in better order (states tho New Zealand Herald). Providing she trains on, the brilliant Hunting Song mare will be a strong contender for some of the important spring events at Sydney. AMERICAN SIRES Sickle (leading sire in America in 193 G) is this year so far ahead of all

others that he seems nearly sure again to occupy the premier position for 1938. Up to May 21 he had 22 winners of 39 races, worth 165,000 dollars. Insco (son of Sir Gallahad and sire of the Kentucky Derby winner, Lawrin) was second on the list with 17 winners of 30 races, worth 87,202 dollars. Man o ’ War (second to The Porter last year) was fourth, and Sickle’s brother, Pharamond 11, ninth, Bull Dog and his brother, Sir Gallahad 111, were tenth and eleventh on the list. Menow (classed as one of the fastest horses in America) is a son of Pharamond, by Phalnris out of the good mare, Selene, by Chaucer from Serenissima, a daughter of Minoru and the great brood mare, Gondolette, dam of Sansovino. GREEN CAPE’S BREEDING Green Cape, who won the V.R.C. Grand National recently, was nominated on the principle that “you can always take them out, but you can’t get them in” after entries close. At the time of entry W. Burke’s stable had three more fancied candidates, but Green Capo won two races and had advanced to the position of favourite a fortnight before the race. His name suggests that he is by Capo Horn, whose progeuy have done well in jumping event': in Australia, but he is by Ethiopian, ad gets his name from his dam, Capcless. PROTEST DISMISSED After the Hunt Cup Steeplechase at the South Canterbury meeting on Saturday, R. Register, the ride of Bonny Buff, who finished fourth, entered a protest against E. J. Jennihgs, rider of Tomcat, ou the ground that he did not jump the “hen coop” in the last toudu The evidence showed that Gold Wren knocked down the wing of the fence and that Tomcat, in jumping tho fallen wing, went between the flags. The protest was, therefore, dismissed.
