NOTES FROM EVERYWHERE TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP Ajax is considered unlikely to meet Hua and Avenger in the St. Legers and he will probably race over shorter distances, state an exchange.

It is stated in Wellington that the next Racing Conference meeting in July wiil give further consideration to the subject of minimum weights.

Prince Mujla; a four-year-old halfbrother by Mullaboden to Myrian, has been sold by B. Burgess and will resume racing at Woodville to-day in the colours of Mrs. W. EL. Richards, No.rsewood.

The brillinnt threoyear-old Courtcraft is doing well in his work at Woodvillo and it is expected that lie will make his next appearance in the Waihou Handicap at Te Aroha next week. Another trip to Sydney is in view for Courtcrnft, and ho will probably leavo alter competing at irentham next month.

Mr. A. S. McKay bought Master Anomaly prior to the Southland summer meeting for £SO.

Over a furlong shorter in the Tonka Stakes on the second day the Chief Ruler three-year-old went an improved race to finish third to Lowenberg and Red Sand. Engaged in the Woodville Handicap to-day, Francis Drake should be in forward condition to show whether he has any real pretension? t»s a stayer.
