G. PRICE'S LEASED HORSE RANCHERO WINS IN COUNTRY MOVE FOR HIGHER STAKES [from our own correspondent] SYDNEY. July 20 A\ lien Mr. .T, E. Brien relived from racing owing to ill-health two of his trainers. tlio ••x-Nt'w Zenlander G, Price. hikl F. Williams, tooit over two of his horses 011 lease. Price won at Hand wick with Kiincliero at his first attempt, and yesterday the gelding, ridden by M. McCarten won the Clarence River I inudicap. On the other hand |{osoiido, who is raced by Williams, was nil expensive failure at Roschill last Saturday and again at \ ictoria Parle yesterday. Ihe (,'lnrence Hiver Handicap, won by Ranchero, is one of the best country events in New South Wales, carrying a stake of i' 259. and is a good betting medium. It is staged by the Clarence Hiver Jockey Club, the secretary of which is Miss Kathleen 0 Meant, so that the newly-appointed secretary of the "Wellington Hacing Club, Nliss IJ. E. Bray, has a confrere in Australia. The agitation for increased pi ize-inoiiey on Sydney proprietary courses promises to have some reward. I.nst week a deputation of owners and trainers waited on the Australian Jockey Club to protest against the poor sums on oiler. At u conference of all clubs on Tuesday, when brush hurdle-racing was decided upon, the prize-money question was opened. It is understood the proprietary clubs' representatives complained bitterly that they were just surviving, but the A.J.C. deferred the matter until facts and figures could be produced. Pony Races at Menangle One result of tlio merger of racing interests has been lower opportunities for bona-lide ponies. 14.2 and under, on Sydney courses. The Menangle Club has six days for pony racing which it has never used, and it is now proposed to utilise them for the pocket-edition horses only, nil events to be restricted to 14.2, 14.1 and It hands ponies. Permission from the A.J.C. will lirst hive to be obtained. As the Menangle Club is a proprietary one. this extension ot activitici. does not suggest that it is faring so badly these days and its proposal will be seized on by those who arc working for increased prize-money Flimtcl is back in work at Randwick with H. B. I.origan's charges. The filly has done particularly well during her holiday, having grown and thickened out in a most satistnc'ui'v manner. A. E. Ncnle arrived from New Ziuland this week lo take over Fnirwny. R. Heed has been going to Canterbury Park to ride Fairway in his woik. The horse has been cntced for. the Kosehill meeting next Wednesday. • C'. Jackson returns to New Zealand this week after his holiday visit to Melbourne and Sydney, He lias decided not, to bring any horses over this season, as he considers that by the time he arrives home and get* 1 hem ready he will be too late for spring racing. Bookmakers Do Well Apparently the tide is turning for (he. bookmakers, for they admit three winning days in succession. At Rosehill hist Saturday they did not give backers any quarter at all. winning all along the line. At. Richmond on Tuesday results were much the same, and at Victoria Park yesterday tho oternal battle went tho same way. A Night Raid—Monoxide filly. Gas Raid, won ono of the divisions of the Nurrery Handicap at Rosehill. She started at double figures and won going away. She is a goodlooking filly and was at a false price considering her form in (he few races she has contested and the speed of her track gallops. Mr. J. J. Leahy, owner of Silver Scorn's sire Silverado, has lately been farming the distance handicap events on suburban courses. Ho has won three races with Aknra. two with Balgay and one with Tangible. On Saturday hj» left in both Aknra and Balgay, to select the better guided bv weather and track conditions. Balgay, the mudlark, was left in his box as the day was fine, but, incidentally, he was one of the horses backed on Monday for The Metropolitan. Counterpla.v was again backed and beaten at Victoria Park yesterday. He was inclined to play up at the barrier and did riot get away well. He was second into, the straight, but then weakened and was only fifth at the finish. The distance was only 4} furlongs and I'e had only 8.7. G.lO minimum, s.u there is not likely to bo any rush to make him favourite next time, a position he has held in two of his three races in Sydney. .Ml the leading horses are going along satisfactorily. Thee is not much doubt that Amnion Ra and Silver Scorn are the most forward of the cracks. DEATH OF KARAPOTI

ACCIDENT IN INDIA GOOD NEW 'ZEALAND WINNER News of the death of the New Zealandbred gelding Karapoti last month came to hand i'i a letter from India vesterday ; Ho failed to recover from injuries received in an accident when lie broke away from his attendant whiie being led from his stable in March and his loss is unfortunate for his owner. Mr. A. C. Ardeshir, who purchased him for .£'2ooo in March, 1932. It took Karapoti a long time to strike form wlieii lie went to India, but toward the end of last season there he won the Rajpipla Gold Cup in record tiiu > and another important race also. ... t Following his winning performances Karapoli wn» regarded ns <be best niiler 111 India and it was a pity that his career was cyt short by an accident. Foaled in 1927, Karapoti was a bay gelding by General Lnfour from Kilbeggan, and was the best three-year-old of his year in New Zealand, winning among other races the Great Northern Guineas, the King s Plate the North Island Challenge Stakes and tho Great Northern St. Leger.
