TROTTING NOTES

DOMINION RACING

SPELL FOR TE KAHU A PROMISING PERFORMER W, ORANGE AT HAMILTON BY ABAYDOS The promising three-year-old trotter To Kahu, who has recorded two firsts and a second in five starts, will not race again until next season. His owner and breeder, Mr. J. T. Young, stated at Te Rapa on Monday, that he was well pleased with the progress made by his trotter, and expressed the opinion that after a spoil he would come in a better horse next term. Solidness has been a striking characteristic of Te Kahu's racing, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is among the best young trotters bred and raced in the Auckland Province. His form places him on the same plane as Waikaha and Koro Peter at the same age. Mr. Young has a vising three-year-old pacer by Nelson Bingen from Lottie Audubon, thus a full-sister to Te Kaliu and Nellota, who is displaying a good deal of promise, and the latest production of the successful brood mare is a handsome colt by Truvia Axworthy. Lottie Audubon, who lias also produced the good winners Pegaway and Lislea, is by Great Audubon from Silverine.

The Ashhurst trainer \V. Orange has decided to remain at Claudelands with his pacing mare Electric Bell until after the Auckland winter meeting. Electric Bell showed useful form at the Wairarapa Trotting Club's Christmas meeting, winning one race., When brought north for the Te Aroha and Auckland meetings f?Jie caught a severe cold, which seriously interfered with her training and this accounted for her indifferent displays in her first starts on tlie circuit. The mure is making satisfactory progress again, and, tp give her a chance of becoming accustomed to northern climatic conditions. Orange made the decision tp keep her at Hamilton. Electric Bell is well bred, being by Gold Bell from Elect Rose, a mare bred on similar lines to the trotting mare Rose Bingen. .

Rose Marble's Consistency The recent consistent; form of ltose Marble 'suggests good prospects for her in her rext races. Ju spite of encouraging form in lier track work at Morrinsville, Hose Marble took time to develop race solidness,' but during tlie recent Auckland circuit displayed marked progress. She was twice second to Te Kahu and in her last start ut Hamilton was second' to Gala Day. 11l registering :i.35 1-5 from a 3.-18 mark in the.Progressive Handicap at Claudelands she was. responsible tor n fine effort'. As she is-still entitled to tlie limit mark in maiden trotting races, it should not be long belore she is rewarded with a win. Hose Marble's owner, Mr. W. J. Eynon, who sold her brother Indolent after the Waikato mee'ing to a patron of C. S. Donald's stable, has purchased the trotting mare Waskasu from Mr. J. Gee, of Epsom. W. Clifton, who for some time has been training at Paeroa, is now located tit Papakura His team at present comprises Explosion, Gold Dredge and a neat-looking filly by Nelson Bingen from Logan Queen, who was very speedy and had a mile record of 2.12. Gold Dredge has raced consistently since joining the stable and when her powers are more fully developed she should prove a good stake-earner. Explosion hn3 reached a mark from which he is finding it difficult to win, but that he can still trot solidly he' showed at the last Auckland meeting, when from 84 .yards behind lie ran second to Bessie Parnsli in the Whitfoul Handicap. At Te Arolia and Cambridge he raced among the pacers, but, although he trotted soundly, he failed to secure a J-m'-V Dad's Hope, who was a member of Chiton's stable for several seasons, was recciiUj destroyed as the result of breaking a le„. To Train at Kaipaki

L. Green, who for some time has been nssociated with the trotting stable of K A McMillan at Tamahere. has removed to Kaipaki, where he intends to set up as a public trainer. Green has several unracfd novice horses under his care and expects to have one or two others in hand foi the Auckland June meeting. Green is a son of the Wanganui trotting trainer P. H. Green, who was associated with Padlock when he won the Poverty Bay and Hawke s Bay Trotting Cups at the commencement of his """he' maiden trotter Waikato Prince, who showed up prominently in the Irogiessive Handicap at Hamilton, when having only his second race, is bred on sound lines. Although his dam is unnamed, his gianddam Finwater goes back to splendid Amcuean lines She was bred by Mr. Max FnedInnder at Ashburton in 1906. benig h.\ Finland from Miss Wild Poole by Wildwood from the Blackwood Abdallah mate, Miss Poole The last-named produced four cream foals? including Miss Wild Poole, who n turn produced a similar numoet of ) l c Z colour but Finwate- was a bay. l'lorile sire of Waikato Prince; has left seven.l "od performers in the province, even with Uic limited opportunities. As R D. Kennerley had intended to- return to Christchurch at the end of the month, the four-year-old pncer Lucky T.o.e has been transferred to b. JNj. stable at Mangere. Kennerley has made change of plans and will remain at Epsom unt after the Auckland meeting next until ma He a reappearance on the track yesterday with Brentlight and Rayon d'Or.
