CUP. A STAYER'S IMPOST. BY PHAETON. Tri raising Hislorie's impost for the New Zealand Cup from 8.5 to 5.12 the C.J.C. hand icon per, Mr. J. E. Henrys, makes it quite clear that he was much impressed . with the winning performance of the son of Nassau in the Avondale Cup, for tho chestnut horse is now placed -within Sib. of the topweight. Rapier. It will, therefore, be iccogni°ed that Historic has been made to pay t*>e full penalty for the victory he registered at Avondale. Historic has yet to win over a longer distance than a mile pnd a quartcr, and whether ho can stay properly jj probably not yet known. There is no reason why Historic should not be eanal In a long-journey task, for he is a horse cf good physique, but, considering that he has an impost within 21b. of weight-for-age. tiiere would be a greater sense of security had he been tested over a journey beyond 10 furlongs. THE A.J.C. DERBY. VICTORIA'S HOPE. Carradale (by Caravel—Vicolla) is Victoria's chief hope in connection with the '•Australian Jockey Club' 9 Derby, and as the cult was recently made the medium of some i;r6cg backing he advanced to the position o f favourite. At two years old Carradalc displayed galloping ability, and as he hulls lroxu a stable with a full knowledge of what is required to win Derby honours in a strong field the move in hi 3 favour, it may be safely assumed, ha 3 not been token without good reason. IRELAND'S YEAR. SUCCESSES IN ENGLAND. The number of important successes registered on the English : d this season by Jrish-bred horses entit.co it to be termed Ireland's year. A return published in tie Louden Field up to the middle of June flowed that the Irish-bred division had won pri? e-money lo the amount of £52,000, but ■fliia has been considerably added to in the interval, and the sum is probably not r.ow i.ir short of £BO,OOO. The principal winners bred in Ireland include the following Adieu, Liverpool Spring Cup and Derbyshire Handicap; Athford. Newbury Spring Clip. Kempton Park Jubilee Doncusfer Cup; Blue Mermaid, Acorn Plate; Bridget Ford, Sandown Park Stud Produce Stakes; Buland Bala, Nonsuch : Stakes; Elton, Lincolnshire Handicap; Jlnnis Bridge, Doncastcr Handicap; Fingle Bridge, Royal Stakes, Epsom; First.

PIUTHAIR'S COMEBACK,

GOOD WIN IN PLUMPTON,

BY ARCHER.

An a four-year-old in the 1926-27 season Pintlmir was one; of tho leading handicap performers in tho Dominion, and, besides winning the Egmont, Tnrnnaki and Wanganui Cups in Ihreo successive starts, she registered sorno other Rood performance. o , including the Great Autumn Handicap at Riccarton with 8.13 T!io following season a!ie xvas taken to Australia and subsequently proved difficult to train, with the result that she only won one race—a nine-furlong handicap at Stratford—that season. Again last season sho wob not extensively laced and her failure to show any form indicated that sho had lost her dash. llow-. ever, sho appears to have, taken 5 new leases of life this spring, for she has run pood races and scored an overdue victory when she accounted for tho .'.Hmnpton Handicap at Avondalo on Monday. After n second to Kick Oft at Wanganui'. it .was thought that «he might run well in the Avondalo Cup, but she failed to finish with any dash after being one of tho leaders to the straight and missed a rlace. Apparently sho benefited by tho race, for she came with a rattle remindful of her best when ridden in behind in the Plumpton Handicap and had half a length to spare at tho finish. At seven years eld Piuthair should not be too old to show further good form and it is Quite on the cards that she might win another good handicap in the near future.

A USEFUL MILER.

RETURNING TO FORM.

Some very useful performances went down to the. credit of Mervette last season, when she raced very consistently in her rarly engagements and also showed good form again in tho autumn. Her best efforts were wins at seven furlongs and a mile at the summer carnival at Ellerslio aiul a second in the A.R.C. Easter Handicap. She was probably unlucky to lose the last-mentioned race, and only for meeting some trouble at the start and getting badly placed early she would probably have scored. Thero is no doubt about her being a very capablo miler when thoroughly right, and there pre indications that she is going to do well this season. With an apprentice who vas having his first ride in the saddle, she was raced for the first time since May in the Members' Handicap at Avondale on Saturday and she made a very pleasing showing in tho circumstances to finish close up fifth. This running denotes that tho half-sister to Historic is well forward and perhaps it will not be long before she makes a return to the winning list. She is not badly placed with 7.9 in the F-lying Handicap, seven furlongs, at the Auckland Spring Meeting and may run prominently under her handy weight.

PROMISING JUVENILE.

CHIEF LINK SHOWS SPEED.

Up to tho present the two-year-old Chief Link has not been required to race, hut he is showing such good promise on the tracks that his first public appearance is being awaited with interest. All going well, he will be produced in tho Welcome Stakes at Ellerslio next week and it is anticipated that he will make his presence felt. One morning last week, when galloped three furlongs with Lineage, ho had no difficulty in beating the Avondale Stakes winner in the smart time of 37 3-ss, nnd the manner in which be executed tho gallop was distinctly pleasing. For educational purposes he was allowed to run down the .-traight with the colours up each day of the Avondalo meeting and no doubt ho will be benefited by this experience. By Chief Ruler from Silver Link, who was a brilliant two-year-old and later a fine torfoimer at. distances up .to a mile. Chief Link is a half-brother to that fine spriutcr Silvcrmine, and there is good rfason to believe that lie will follow in the footsteps of his relative and prove very smart over short courses. Chief Link is a wellmannered youngster, with plenty of size, and many good judges will be disappointed if he fnik to make good. The youngster is to finish off his preparation at Ellerslie and bo was brought across from Avondale in company with Silvcrmine yesterday.

BRAMPTON UNLUCKY.

NARROWLY MISSES WIN.

When Brampton finished third to Sea Cob and Arikitoa in the New Lynn Handicap at Avondale ho was barely half a length behind the winner and only missed second place by the narrowest possible margin. With an ounce of luck he might easily have won, and his finishing effort might be worthy of notice for future reference. For most of the journey* he was not in tho picture and it was only at tlie distance that he became prominent. '1 ben he put in some fine work and was going fast when ho -received a check inside tho distance, where he was challenging on the rails. This was sufficient to probably make the difference between winning and losing and it was unfortunate for J. Buchanan, who has certainly not had the best of luck Witb his charges. Purchased by the Ellerslio trainer after he had shown promise £.s a two-year-old, Brampton has not como up to expectations and has so far nothing moro than one wiu and a number of miuor placing® to his credit. Possibly he might be making ;ome improvement this season, (md, in this case, he should do better in the future. At all events, his latest running suggests that a win for him might not be far distant.

IMPROVING HACKS.

PRINCE VAL AND SEA COB.

Two hacks who were well in the limelight at Avondale were Prince Yal and Sea Cob. and the form they revealed clearly demonstrated that they are on the improve. Prince Val difiployed promise in winning over bix furlongs unions t-He linclcs on ilio country circuit last season, and the manner in which he lias scored in his two starts this season indicates that he is likely to go on wiih the good work. It was a smart performance when ho carried 9.0 end beat u large field over six furlongs in 1.15 2-5 in his latest outing and something better can be expected of him as he becomes more seasoned. All going well, he should soon win his way out of the hack class, and then, when carefully placed, ho should e.ito achieve some success in open company, because he will probably improve a good deal yet before leaching the top of his form. Like Prince Val, Sea Cob also shaped creditably last season and his consistency in notching two wins and a second in his three starts this term indicates that he Is a solid customer likely to improve his record as the season advances. Sea Cob belongs to the family that has been successfully represented in recent years by Lomint. Poanui and Chnmour, and, like his relatives, ho may be partial to soft going, although ho ha 3 proved that he can gallop well on firm ground also. .As his owner has always had a liking fcr jumpers, it will not be surprising if Sea Cob is tried as a, jumper later on Mid his breeding is in favour of his proving a success in this sphere. AUCKLAND HORSEMEN. ENGAGED AT HASTINGS. Six Auckland horsemen in H. Wiggins, L Dulieu, H. Goldfinch, W. H. Jones, E. Keesinfr and R. McTavish will be riding at the Hawke'f Bay meeting at Hastings cm Saturday. Thoir engagements are us follows; H. Wiggins: Plimmerton, Havana, Royal ranule, Zippor and Balloon. If. Goldfinch: Mr. W.

THE GERALDINE MEETING.

FIRST DAY'S EVENTS. I

The Geraldine Snrinir Meeting opens today. Tho following is. fhe list of acceptances for tho leading events:—

REVIEW OF THE FIELDS. [by TELEGn.\rrr. —own correspondent.] CnniSTCHURCH. Wednesday. Much interest will bo centred in the Geraldine Racing Club's Spring Meeting to commence at Oriui to morrow. The weather promises to be fine and the course is in fast order. Two novices, in Pangolin nnd Waihemo. will mako their first appearance over tho battens in tho hurdle race. The former gives signs of being well supported, Beauty Light and Ileisler will also bo favoured.

Taking Ashbtirlon form as a guide. Bollbird should bo well supported in tho Ohapi Hack Handietp. with Captivate und Huntley also in deinnud The principal event of the day, the Gernldine Cup. gives promise of providing an interesting contest. Black Mint and Game will be bracketed and their number will be in keen demand. If. however, there i 3 anything to bo derived from a review of the weights. Money Mine baa been given every encouragement with 7.12. lli3 form at the Dunedin Winter Meeting, when he won two big races, has evidently been overlooked. After capturing tho Birthday Handicap on tho first day, with 7.G, ho won the King Gc-orgo Handican. over a mile nnd a-auarter. on tho second day, carrying 8.4. Included in tho field is Prickles, with 7.11. Now this pair meet on equal terms. Malmsey would have been in favour but for tho lameness p.ho has displayed of late. She would only need to bo right to take a part in the finish. la what should be an even betting race, Money Mine. Prickles and tho bracket appeal tho most. Tho Geraldino Trot will probably find Llewellyn a warm favourite, and thoual) ho lias yet to make his debut on a racecourse ho is possessed of undoubted speed. Headlight la n promising sort and may extend tho American pacer.

Some smart gallopers are engaged in the Squatters' Handicap, nnd form points to Caterpillar. Stealth and Bulolo comprising tho placed division.

In the Raukapuka Hack Handicap the prospects of Sen Raid. Glenrowan and Amourette appear favourable. Tho Orari Trot will be contested bv a big field, and King's Cud. by John DillonKissing Cup, may bo one of tho fancied division. Francis D' Oro is another moro than useful four-year-old. This riair should finish in tho money and tho best of tho remainder may be Olaio Rose or Silver Sea.

Tho issue in tho Belficld Handicap anpears very open, but 111 all probabihtv Honeycomb, Narrative and Membo will carry most support.

Riding engagements Lave been arranged as follows; D. Cotton. Aladdin and Aspiring; G. Sail. Heisder: J. 'J'. Humphries. Bellbird: C. Eastwood. Malmsey. Caterpillar, Sea Raid and Narrative; A. Eastwood. Money Mine. Stealth. Sailing Homo and Meinbo; C. Stratton. Twanz. and Amourette: C. Emerson. Money Order: F. Yoifht. Rapier; A. E. Ellis, Airplane and Black Mint; B. Brodio, Taboo; K. Coveny, Prickles; A. Messervy, Honeycomb. Rapier will have bis first race since be won (lio Awapuni Gold Clip. In the open sprint event at Geraldine be will l>e pitted against some speedy caJlopers, and is not likely to offer them much trouble, especially at this stage of tho season. Money Order v.ill bo on interesting contestant in the Squatters' Handicap. Ho has shown in recent track essays that lie lias lost none of his galloping ability, but has displayed a tendency to stop at the end of livo furlongs. Whether, his staving powers havo improved as a result of his opeißtion i» a matter which will be decided by his forthcoming ellorts in public. Tho light-weight jockey. A. II Eastwood, will bo rid ins at Geraldine. but he will ill if,3 Kuiow next week, as lie has accepted an engagement to ride for Mr. W. G. Stead at Napier Park the same day. 110 will then make a journey to Southland, where be has several rides at the Birchwood Hilnt Meeting. after winch he will travel to Wiugatui tor the Dunedin Meeting.

HYDE PARK DISAPPOINTS.

FAILURE AT LAST START.

With the first, second and fourth horses in 'the Avondale Cup out of the way, Hyde Park, who finished third in that race, was confidently expected to win the Plumpton Handicap at Avondale on Monday, but he disappointed hia army of admirers by failing to finish closer than sixth. On occasions Hyde Park has run good racea at middle distances, and he was in fine order last autumn, when he won at a mile and a-quarter and dead-heated for second place over a mile and a-half at Ellaralie. In the meantime lie has not done as well as expected. It will be recalled that ho failed badly on the final day of tho winter meeting at Kllerslie after running fourth on the openins day. and, having done likewise, at hia first meeting this season, backers may be ratliT chary al him in future. ]t is always on the carts that Hyde Park will win a decent handicap when he produces liia best snd it inisrht not be altogether wise to discredit him for his failures, although thrv indicate that he is not a really solid racehorse. There will be plenty of opportunities for hiin to make amends in the next few months, and pe~hnps he might do better when the ground is easy than when it is firm, as ho has run some of his best rnce3 in soft coins.

NOTES FROM ELLERSLIE.

GOSSIP OF THE TRACKS.

BY ARC HE IV

While being taken along the road yesterday to be turned out for a spell, Welkne wu3 struck by a motor-car, nnd sustained injuries Unit necessitated his destruction. Welkno was a six-year-old gelding by The Welkin from Angelina, owned by Mr. B. (Joldwnter, nnd trained by J. 32. Thorpe. Early in liin career ho displayed Rood promise, but liover enme up to expectations, although ho succeeded in winning his way out of hack company by scoring a surprise win at the winter carnival at Ellerslie.

The two-year-old Ruling King struck his oft iiock whilo running in the Avondale Stakes, and that was tho reason for his withdrawal from tho Nursery Handicap on tlie second day. Thero was n little filling in the hock the next day, but it has now disappeared, and the youngster will be worked along in preparation for his engagement in tho Welcomo Stakes next week.

ft is stated that Truo Blood pulled up lame after his race in tho Avondale Cup, and it eeems doubtful whether lie will remain sound enough to bo thoroughly prepared for meetings ahead. It is a great pity that True Blood is unsound, ns he is a good galloper, and has shown sufficient dash lately to indicate that ho was not far off striking form.

Red Lion, who returned from Sydney this week, has rone into M. Ryan's stable at Ellerslie. Tlio Solforino gekiing built up a good deal while away, ard lio is in splendid order to go ahead with his work. So far ho has only ono minor success to his credit, and unless he improves ho may not be easy to place to advantage. However, ho is only a four-year-old. and may yet make sufficient progress to show better form iti Iho future.
