Ellis is making a speedier recovery than anticipated and he expects to leave hospital in a week’s time, i I Foalings to the Gainsborough horse Leighon this season include colts from I Rule Britannia, Lady Pym and Hilton 1 I Gorse and fillies from Leisure, Habit ■ and Acora. The newly-appointed stipendiary * steward, Mr. C. F. Hartland, fined three ■ different owners £1 each for parading their horses in wrong colours at the Geraldine meeting. The only excuse that was offered in each case was that the livery had been forgotten. Mr. John Donald, of Westmero, was the breeder of Royal Chief, winner of the Colin Stephens Stakes and the : Metropolitan at the Randwlck meeting, ! and Royal Chief is the first norse ever bought by Mr. A. K. Firth. The Fordell stable’s Great Northern ’ Guineas candidate, Russian Ballet, left > for Ellerslie on Monday to fulfil her en- » gagement in the Auckland Racing > Club’s spring classic. She will be ' ridden by B. H. Morris, who was in the t saddle when the Nightmarch filly won > the Wanganui Guineas A SERIOUS OPERATION ' Windsor Lad, winner of the 1934 ' Derby and St. Leger, insured for £50,000, was operated on early in Sep- ; tember and has since been fighting for his life. ’ Several months ago it was known at J New-market that Mr. M. H. Benson’s ’ stallion, whose stud fee is £4OO, was \ suffering from a from of catarrh in the head. The trouble became worse. The horse was removed from his sumptuous ' box, specially constructed for him, at Mr. Benson’s stud at Chevcley to New- ' market. The complicated operation, ' rarely attempted, was performed, and the veterinary surgeon said that it is ’ not yet possible to know whether the operation will prove successful. * Mr. Marcus Marsh, tho Lambourn c trainer, who prepared Windsor Lad for his series of triumphs, which netted ’ more than £36,000 iu stake money, said ’ Windsor Lad showed no symptoms of the trouble when in training. Mr. Martin Benson bought the colt 1 for £50,000 from lI.H. the Maharajah of ’ Rajpipla after ho had been beaten in ’ the 1934 Eclipse Stakes. For his new ’ owner he won the St. Leger, Coronation ’ Cup, Eclipse Stakes, and other races worth in all £22,844 in staxes. During the three seasons that he has ’ been at the stud he has earned £30,000. . MR. A. P. WILSON’S » APPOINTMENT I , | Mr. A. P. Wilson has been appointed f I advisory steward to the Turf Club in i Durban in succession to Mr. N. I»'Arcy, . who resigned recently. Mr. Wilson has jhad long experience as steward. He was (with the Queensland Turf Club for some I years as chairman of the stewards, and I* before that he had service with the New Zealand Racing Conference and with the Royal Calcutta Turf Club.
