TROTTING HANDICAPS

THE NEW ASSESSMENTS . AUCKLANDERS' CONCESSIONS POSITION IN TWO MILES RACES BY ABAYDOS The most interesting feature of the reassessments in tho handicaps of Auckland horses for the coming season is that half-a-dozen probable candidates for the two principal races at the Auckland Trotting Club's meeting have received a concession of a second at two miles. They are: Great Parrish, from 4.29 to 4.30; Pegaway and First Flight, -4.28 to 4.29; Auto Machine, Kewpie's Guy and Kewpie's Triumph, 4.27 to 4.26. With the Auckland limits arranged at 4.31, tho horses mentioned will all bo very handily placed if they contest the races. None of the recipients of tlie concession won at the distance during the season just ending, but Great Parrish and Kewpie's Triumph both scored at a mile and a-quarter. Great Parrish has not won at two miles since his Auckland Trotting Cup success in 1932, his best effort this season being liis second to Wrecker in the Jellicoo Handicap in October off 4.30. Kewpie's Triumph won the Northland Handicap in April, 1934, off 4.28, and at the~"recent Auckland meeting was second in the Adams*Me/norial Cup off 4.27. By his let-up to 4.28 Kewpie's Triumph will require two wins to qualify for tho Now Zealand Trotting Cup. Mile and A-Quarter Marks Pegaway's last two miles win was in the Labour Day Handicap in 1933, and he has not since been placed at the distance. Kewpie's Guy has not registered a winning performance since she won the President's Handicap at Epsom in 1933, her best eli'ort since being a third in the Bledisloe Handicap off 4.27. Auto Machine and First Flight have not won at two miles for two years, but both scored last season at a mile and a-quarier. Jewel Pointer, whose last success was in the Summer Handicap, at Wellington last seaiton, has been let up from 4.25 to 4.20, but he has been retired to the stud and is now located at Ngaruawahia. Peter Pirate, who has not been successful for some time, has also changed from 4.27 to 4.28. Like Psgaway, First Flight, Kewpie's Bond and Auto Machine, he has also received a second concession on his mile and a'-quarter line. Several horses who competed unsuccessfully during the latter part of the season in the 2.47 mile and aquarter races, have gone out to 2.48, the concession advancing their two miles mark to 4.35. These include Trustworthy and Travis, who were each second at their last start, Hohoro, who was third at the winter meeting, and Herod, while Pukeiniro advances to 2.47 and 4.33, and Arabond to 2.4(3 and 4.34.

Two horses who did not receive a concession are Wee Machine and Realty.

Realty, whose two wins were gained in mile and a-half races in tho spring, is still on 2.47 and 4.33, although he has failed to win at two miles. S.

THE KING'S JOCKEY J. CHILDS TO RETIRE ■i . [from our own correspondent] By Air Mail LONDON, July G The Daily Mail announces that Joe Cliilds, the King's jockey, 'intends to retire at the end of this racing season, and F. Fox, who at present is retained for the King's light-weights, will become first jockey to the Royal stablos. Cliilds, our tallest jockey, and the son of a successful jockey who rode in France, Avon his first race in 1900. He became first jockey to the Manton stable in 1919. and it was then that the most successful part of his long career began. He won two war-time Derbys (run at Newmarket) on Fifinella arid Gaiusborough and the Epsom Derby on Coronach in 1926. His other classic winners were in tho One Thousand Guineas (Scuttle, 1926, and Brown Betty, 1933); Two Thousand Guineas (Gainsborough, 1918, and Cameroninn, 1931); Oaks (Mirska, 1912, Fifinella,' 1916, and Love-in-idleness, 1921); and St. Leger (Gajnsborough, 1918, Polcmarch, 1921, and Solario, 1925). Fox has been viding almost iis long as Childs, and gained his first classic success in 1911, when he won the One Thousand Guineas on Atmah. Ho won the Derby on Cameroninn in 1931, and again this year on Bahrain.
