CORINAX'S SYDNEY TRIP.

OPINION REGARDING EYE. VETERINARY EXAMINATION. Tie Auckland wiser. J. Williamson. ia shortly to b# smcng the New Zealand invaders cf Sydney, and tie terns will include tie Auckland Cop winner, Ceriaax. who did not go to auction u a yaariing cwing to one of his eyes being under suspicion, says tie Sydney Eeferee. Hia breeder, Mr. P. Miller, gave him to Williamson, to tike ia New Zealand the understanding being that they should later ecae to an arrangement u to his value. The price eventually paid for Coriaax ws-e 150gna., and the horse was so slew in developing farm that at one period cf h:a career hia owner offered to eschange him for five heifers. The owner of the cattle declined fa do business en these terms, remarking: "Heifers are worth money." It was fortunate Jor Wiljiaxasca, as since then Ccrinai has wen about £7OOO in stakes. Whether Ccrinax races here will, cf course, depend upon cfEcial veterinary examination proving thai all is right, with his doubtful eye. As Ccrinax ia by Magpie from Queen Ingoca (sister to the Melbourne Cup winner, S : -g Ingodah it ia not surprising that he is a stayer.

Dr. W. C. Ring, veterinary surgeon of Auckland, lias had Ccrinax under observation and it is understood that he is prepared to give a certificate that the horse has sight in his affected eye. Williamson expects that the veterinary surgeon to the Australian Jockey Club will also pass Corinas and that, no cbjectioa will be raised to racing him ia Australia. A Sydney writ-ar places Corinaz ia fifth position in assessing the order of popularity of horses ia the Metropolitan Handicap. The order given is as follows:—Gwillian G, Carradale. 3awn-na-glas. Carinas. Glare. Sou'ton. Mnriiia.

TBAINDTG AT RICCABTON. QUARTERDECK GOES WELL. RADIATE'S LEG TROUBLE [3T TILBGBXPH. OWS COHHSEPOCTEST.] CHHISTCHTJS CH. Thursday. Tie track work at Riccartoa to-day was asain disorganised by «ne ejects of cne of the hardest frosts experienced en the course this winter. Tie forenoon bid well advanced before there were any signs of tne grsnnd thawing, and while Bone Ci tee trainers waited for the conditions te be favourable. others postponed tseir cperar ticna rr-nrH the afternoon. The No. 7 grass track xsa open, but it was m 21 siipperj state and against fast times. FirsT Si~ht ran an easy half-mile in 545, and Craigavon covered fire furlongs ~ L - Tcawai and Quarterdeck were associated in a mile task. Tcawai established a soiifl pace aver the nrst naif, taking 51s. and was •well clear of Quarterdeck with a furiong to so. Quarterdeck then made up her ground, and finished strongly. to set on terms at tie post. The full distance took 3.45. with the honours in favour cf Quarterdeck. Limerick and Dunrsven executed a strong working gallop ever five furlongs, both being anxious to increase the pace. W. Stone was out with some of his team. Painkiller shelved too mucil pace for Huntley over four furl ones in 52 3-5», and Lord Tbamcnti under a pall, covered the same ground in 54a. Silver Paper was given slow work on the sand, and Aspiring and .iray Bend were exercised on the lead.

Gala Day. picked up by Seaboy at five furloass. galloped a useful miie ia 1.4G 3-5. Ranelagh was always going better than Pangolin over seven furlcng3 in 1.34. Sanelach has been given every chance ia the Whyta Handicap at Treutham with tne minimum impost.

Lancer, woo la also well treated by the Wellington haudic&pper. strode over six fur'ongs in 1.13 2-5. Ea is likely to be in strong demand for Saturm»y's hurdle race at Asiihurton. Discourse went well, ever seven furlongs in 1.33 2-5. She is to be ridden on Saturday by D. Cotton.

Eulrange, with I. Tllscn in the saddle. Save a splendid display in negotiating a round cf ih« country. He jumps a little too high at present, but will remedy this fault with racing experience. In the afternoon Zeuxis (E. Shaw) was sent ever three hurdles,' giving, his usual attractive display. Radiate was given acme strong work. His, affected leg has been causina trouble during the past, few days, but it is hoped to produce him at Ashburton on Saturday. The Night Paid filly Night Dew, who had to be put aside in the summer owing to meeting with an injury while galloping, has come right again, and is now one of T. Lloyd's* afternoon team.

| SUCCESS OF GIFT HORSE. j SON O' MINE'S DOUBLE WW. Son O* Mine, winner of the Hunters' Hurdles and Bunt Club Cup Steeplechase at Hawera an Wednesday, ha 3 had a very checkered career. As a youngster he wag purchased from Mr. T. H. Lewry by Mr. Eliot U. Davis and was trained in Audiland by F. Davis. Good .things were expected of him when he finished first in a two-year-old parade at Ellerslie. but. after running second in his first two starts, he proved a great disappointment.
