TE AWAMUTU HORSES.

GOOD RECORD FOR SEASON.

A. COOK'S TEAM WINS £4916-

[by telegraph.—own correspondent.] TE AWAMUTU. Tuesday. Although horses trained nt To Awnmutu linvo not. won as much in stake-money during the season now closing as in i \ic previous year, it is computed that the nggregato for gallopers and trotters is very close to £20,000. of which the sum of JCH.I'PI ]os has to be credited to gallopers. This fino achievement spealis volumes for the trainers and for the facilities afforded them on tho Waipa ]!: icing Club's course. An analysis of the figures shows that in point of actual number of wins To Awamulu is not tho leading centro in thn South Auckland districts, as has been the ca.-o on several occasions in recent yours, but in actual stake-money won To Awali'.utu is still supreme. Tho official figures i redit A. Cook, of To Awnmutu, with hming trained lfi winners, Hum putting him on a par with A. Tinker, of To Hupa. but actually Cook has prepared 17 winners, including To Uoia's two dead-heats. Ho also has a remarkably fine average of wins as compared with minor placings. F. E. Loomb's Successes.

F. F. Loomb, during his nino years at To Awamutu, has produced winners of slakes totalling nearly £50,000. The 1028-20 season gsvo him about £OOOO, which was by far his best year, and for the year just closing his total is £'U'.o7 10s, which is slightly below his wonderfully tins average. "\V. Stono also did not have such a good year, as when Supremacy nnd others were racing. However, his horses accounted for JtilS'2s, this figure being slightly exceeded by G. Paul's string, which accounted for i'l9lo. It. L. Russell's charges wcro credited with i'SJO. J. H. Burns' Joy Germ returned him J.'JOS, and A. Kowan's Day Lass gained £O7 10s in stake-money. Little Toy and Gold Hep each credited their owner-trainers with £3O. In addition to his 17 winners," A. Cook had 11. seconds and live thirds. F. K. Loomb's placing* were 12 firsts, ID preonris and a similar number of thirds. G. Paul's horses had six wins, seven seconds and eight thirds, and Stone's gave him eight wins, fivo seconds and nino thirds. 11. L.

NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE

TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP. The hurdle horseman G. Salt has made a satisfactory recovery from his Trentham mishap and hopes to be riding again at the Christchurch Bunt Club meeting

Mr. K. S. Williams. M.l\, Ln3 delected tho name of Meynell fur the rising two-year-old .son of Hunting Sons nnd Barcarolle. The youngster is a half-brother to Town Major.

The rising three-year-old Sleipner in 11. purse's team at Riccarton has made marked improvement during the winter. Our Christchurch correspondent states that Sleipner should lie a high-class performer in the new season.

Several of the acceptors for tho Grand National Hurdles may bo runners in the Trial Hurdles, which is run on tho first day of the Canterbuy Jockey Club's Grand National Meeting. Thoso entered for tho Trial include Apache, Zippor, Mountain Guide and Llyn Dhu.

With the tracks on tho soft side after overnight rain, there was practically no work of interest at. Ellerslio yesterday, when most of the horses were restricted to steady pricing. Freyja (Burgess), About (Craddockh and Twinkler (Garrett) were sent over tho steeplechase fences on the fiat twice, all shaping well.

After a spell Taneriri is being pottered about preparatory to receiving ;i preparation for Hpring racing. Ono of his hind joints is fdightly enlarged at present and ho will probably not bo worked ecriously until the swelling disappears. Taneriri is very bright after his holiday and (should win more races when bo strikes form again.

Tho rising three-ycar-old Manawhenua is working regularly at Kllerslio nnd should bo well forward v. hen tho spring meetings arrive. Ho far Mansuvhenua b;!3 not lived up to tho promise ho gave in his early gullops, but there is yet fimo for him to improve. Ife has not grown much through tho winter and will probably always be on the small .side.

huek ban rot favoured Freyja in her career up to tho present and a mishap in th- autumn set her back when she was d.oirr j.ai tic.dai ;v well. Freyja is receiving a liound preparation for the Pakuranga Hunt mcclmr; ner.t, month, and, all going well i." the meantinie, the nja.v be in a position among the hunters at thsit meeting.

Co lin six. who has been spelling einco the winter meeting, is still running out in tho paddock, but he. will probably be taken in hand again next week. For tho past couple of seasons Coriliax has been ft good winner for J. Williamson, and, although he is well up in tho weights at present,, there is 110 reason why he ehould not again do well in the new season.

.1. E. Thorpe's rising two-year-old Golden Spain (Csitmint--holoma), has been on tho easy list for about a fortnight with a colli, but he is recovering and v. ill probably resume work shortly. Like other members of his family, (lolden Spabi is likel.v to take, timo and his trainer does riot intend to hurry him.

Mis. A. McDonald contemplates racing eight members of her team at tho Grand National meeting next month. Those in preparation for tho trip to lticcarton are liiyn Dim, Blue Paper, Corneroll, Potoaform, Airforce, Blacksmith, Spearopa and Lady Spear. Sumo of them will compete first at the Manawalu meeting and they nro duo jit Uiccarton about a week before tho Grand Isutioual meeting opens.
