" Wager.''—The race in auestion in which Electrocute out up his three-mile record in New Zealand was the Inliagton Handles?, decided at Plumptoh Park (Canterbury) on ' January 3. 1910. Electrocute was credit*! with winning by 12 lengths in 7m Sis, NOTES BY PICADOR, There is little to report at present concerning the doings at Alexandra Park. The inside of the dirt training track has been under ropilr and should bo in excellent order in a few weeks' time. The continued wet weather has given .trainers very few opportunities to wcrk thikir horses fast, and there hwi been no thins of interest nccomplished during recent weeks. A. Newdick has a team of five, comprising First Carbine. Grey Peter. Ruby liuon, Lord Minto. and Moneymaker, and regularly has hia charges at Alexandra Park when, conditions are favourable Idr work. First Carbine and Grey Peter are the most likely of his team. and. all going well, the former 1 will go to Addington for the New Zealand Trotting Cup. Nothing strenuous is being exacted from Dick Dillon and Black Li la. Tho latter ja building up slowly, but is, still very hght and will not be seen at his beat for sorad time. Dick Dillon hw a very healthy appearance and. should come to nanij Quickly. The Australian importations, Rockbttta and Harvest Home, are maJtinK steady progress under the guidance of R. Jwpion. They hav© both put on condition, and, it will not be for lack of attention if they fail to makat good, though they do not al>P«ar to be any* thing gnsat. The disappointing Unci® : Bert and tha pacing mare Black Gold are among .the mos# xtc<iu©iit visitors -to Alcxftttdrtt P*rJt* Boiwj have Wintered well, but it is too early yet W tell whether they are likely to show improved form this seawn, I ,am doubtrat concerning the former, as .he is eo erraua» but he has never looked better.

Betty Moko is mail nit satisfactory pro, grew and is expected to do big things thd season. J. Shaw has been drmntt thu| promising young trotter in most of nor recent work, and is setting on well with her. Single Mint has a Withy appearance and is progressing favourably in her preparationThough on the uroall siie. she h<w shown, fair promise and may bo a useful pacer when thoroughly seasoned. The racing they iaad at the fleet mwftfltf benefited Haricot iind P ?™muß and both have since been doing welL The latter m a v&ry genuine mare, but will need to be as her best to win from her present mant. Mr. F. J- Docherty recently had the iilluckto lo«e a fitly foal by Great Audubon from the Younc Salisbury mare Moya. Tha youngster was only, a few days old and? died as a result of injuries. Speed King is included in the active* brigade at Alexandra Par* and is training on satisfactorily- Tht* fellow showed a litilo promise at the back end of ja«t B&**on and notched two minor placinp. at tbo Northland meeting. With shght impnjve» jnept ho should be useful this season.
