WIN FOR TEA TRADER

RACE AT AGUA CALIENTE VICTORY IN FAST TIME PREVIOUS DEFEAT AVENGED The interesting newa that Tea Trader wor a rich stake at Agua Caliontc, Mexico, on March ]!), wiib published in the Sydney Daily Telegraph laat week as the/result o] a private cable message. The race was the Springtime Handicap, six furlongs. The Sydney writer " Cardigan," who last year accompanied Phar Lap to Mexico, received the cablegram from Mr. B. E. Leigh ninger, chief publicity officer of Agun Crflicnte. The message stated that Tei Trader won the Springtimo Handicap, beating Joe Flores and Quickaway and running the six furlongs in 1.11, which was threefifths of a second outsido the cottrsc record. I The message also stated that Pillow Fight was doing well in his preparation for the Agua Calicnte Handicap, to bo run next Sunday. Joe Flores, who was second to Tea Trader, was last year one of the best of the Westernowned three-year-olds. Ho finished second to Bahamas in the Agua Caliento Derby and was ono of tho loaders for about six furlongs in tho race Thar Lap won. Quickaway who was third, has been the sensation o( this season's racing at Agua Calioute, us until his defpat in the Sprinclimo Handicap he had won six races in succession for his ownor, Mr. John D. Speckela, jun., whose great-grandfather im ported the 1833 Sydney Cup winner Darobin to California many years ago. Quickaway holds tho track record of 1,10 2-5 for six furlongs at Agua Calicnte. which lie established in the Invitation Handicap on February 10, in which Tea Trader had his first race in Mexico. Last. Sunday Tea Trader finished second to Sun Dot in ihe Meteor Handicap, six furlongs, and tho fact that, he hae notched a win and a second lately indicates that lie is striking his,.real form. The three-year-old has brilliant speed and should iichievo further distinction as a sprintor if all goes well with him. HAWERA HORSES » CANDIDATES FOR STRATFORD CARFEX'S GOOD TRACK WORK [from our own Correspondent] HAWERA, Tuesday Aga Khan, Golden Hair, Awaken. Peschiera and Green Linnet returned from tho Trentham and Awapuni meetings in good shape. March Alone suffered an injury from a kick, but has made r. quick recovery. Richfield developed soreness in the back, necessitating a slight operation and a let-up. Carfex is bowling along well on the tracks and at Stratford should prove that hi 3 Opunake Cup running was all wrong. If ail goes well with him, J. Brown intends taking him to Auckland for tho Easter meeting. Carfex won twice at Ellerslie in tho spring and handles the right-handed going well. Awaken's form has been disappointing and she may not make the trip. Ago, Khan is being talked of as a likely candidate for the Easter Handicap at Ellerslie He is at tho top of his form and won convincingly at Awapuni. Some interesting work was done this morning by candidates for Stratford. The plough was slightly holding, but tho trial grass was in good order. On the plough Gibraltar and Carfex were sent over seven furlongs. They ran their first half-mile in 63s and finished in 1.34 i, with Carfex going the better. After cantering a round Ago, Khan worked seven furlongs comfortably in I.S9J. Attentive and March Alone did a smart six furlongs in 1.18. Attentive worked attractively. . Chief Line easily held Calamine at tho end of seven furlongs in 1.88. Shillong had to bo held back to Grey Tapa in a sprint over five furlongs in 1.6. On the grass R. Brough's maiden Rapper finished in front of Miss Cavendish at the close of five furlongs in 1.31. the first three furlongs being run in 375. Chief Link and St. Clara occupied 1.4 for five furlongs, finishing together. Chief Link a effort was not impressive, but St. Clara continues to improve. Copey did a couple of rounds of pa,co ,Gold«n H»ir did light exercise Under tho charge of 0. Cox she leaves Wellington lor Sydney by {he Marama on Friday. FRANKLIN RACING CLUB DATE OF EXTRA MEETING The Franklin Racing Club, which was granted a permit for an extra meeting at I'ukckohe on May 13. has applied for a change to April 29. Tho reason is that the Auckland Trotting Club has already fixed May 13 as the dato for its May fixture. OAKS ENTRY QUESTIONED SILVERADO-TUAHINE FILLY A mistake seems to have been made by tho inclusion of a filly by Silverado from Tnahine in tho list of those remaining in tho Great Northern Oaks, for thveo-year-old fillies, as according to our Canterbury correspondent the only filly of this breeding is tho two-yoar-old Tudiwai, a member of C. Emerson's team at Riccarfon. When the matter was referred to Mr. \\ . S Srence yesterday he had had no intimation that the filly was other than a three-year-old. Tho filly was entered for the race by F. Christmas in tho name of Mr, D. 0. Rutherford, and the only explanation that could bo given of . the filly being in this year's race was that she had been nominated when she was a foal instead of when she was a yearling. In the latest volume of the New Zealand Stud Book, published in 1930. Tuahino ie not credited with any progeny prior Id 1930. She appeared at. that time in tho ownership of Mr. D. O. Rutherford, and the sex of her production to Silverado was not given. MR. BIDWILL'S RACING STOCK DISPERSAL SALE ON APRIL 15 A dispersal sale of tho racing and breeding fctock of the late Mr. W. K.

I fail to sec why tho Auckand Racing Club committee does not conlidor the "outor" in so far as straight-out jets aru concerned. Does the committee wish o compel them to pay the extra to go into lie Leger enclosure lo enable them to bet ilraight-out? Why not take tho fence down letween the Leger and the outside and show (•mo regard for a considerable number of ■alions. even if the charge for admission s slightly higher. No other club which has lsed tho "win and place" system has treated fs "outer" patrons in such a manner. L topo that something may yet be done. i
