Alchemic is a bay colt by Lackham—Bechou, by Royal iJivorce—Vladioau, by Vladimir— Noyeau. by Alalua—-Honey, by Progress, and he is owned by his breeder. Mr. W. T. Bailey, heritage is a brown colt by PosterityHomage, by Absurd—Eulogy, by Cicero.

He is. a half-brother to Admiral Drake, winner of the Auckland Cup in 1931. and is to carry the colours of his breeder. Mr. F. Armstrong. Hunting Scene is a brown colt by Hunting Song from Painted Screen, by Leighton— Valvate, by Ferpmore—Shrill, by Llanewn. Painted Screen is the dam of Movie Star, who won the breeders' Plate at Randwick in 1930, and has since registered other smart performances. Shrill was a good imported mare of the No. 1 family, who won the Thompson Handicap at Trentham and among others produced Father's Voice, a brilliant two-year-old in his year, who/wos raced by Lady Jellicoe. Hunting Scene is trained by Mrs. A. W. McDonald for bis breeder, Mr. A. F. M. Symes.

En Parole was a sister to Bobrikoff, a splendid performer, and she was the dam of Right and Left, who was a good two-year-old. So far the progeny of Musical Moment have not distinguished themselves, but there may be hope for Maestro, especially later on, as his pedigree is suggestive of stamina. Maestro is owned by his trainer, F. W. Davis, who ie also responsible for the preparation of Heritage, Bumble and Serzia. Going Gay is a bay filly by Chief Ruler from Comedy Queen, by Comedy King— Tandale, by Winstanley. She cost 200 guineas as a yearling and is a full-sister to Top Rank, who started the current season well by winning a couple of races in the South Island. Going Gay is the property of Mr. S. E.

Harvest Moon did not impress in his gallop over five furlongs in 1.6. He has epeed, Dut hae bo far been disappointing.

A feature of this morning's work was a fine schooling display over five fences by Copey and Sandlark. The latter is a beginner at the jumping business, but he outjumped Copey at almost every fence, winning the bout by a specially good jump over the final obstacle. Copey jumped in his usual good style. He is carrying plenty of condition, having built up splendidly during his spell. The two-year-old Lowenojrg again sprinted smartly over two furlongs with Silver Wings, the pair finishing together in 24is, Richfield just failed by half a length to make up the advantage gained by _ Autumn Leaf at the commencement of their threefurlongs eprint in 38 l-ss. _ Friesland accompanied Flower Bag in a round at a solid pace, Flower Bag continuing on for another circuit and working very attractively. Aga Khan.
