Si COROWA TO REAPPEAR ?t,i L ENTRANT FOR RIVERTON t /' Corowa, a useful performer who has not raced since tho 1037 Grand National r>x' Meeting at Kiccarton, is expected to make a reappearance in flat races at tho Riverton 'f Easier meeting. His last start was over hurdles and since going to Southland he has •~i' done a good amount of schooling, in which f he has shaped quite satisfactorily. Corowa is , bow in his eighth year and ho bears a greatly improved appearance and if the going ' l,: is heavy at Riverton ho may show up. As a four-year-old he won three races and was four times placed, one of his successes being in the Te Aro Hack Handicap at Trentham, when he beat a good field. He also ran second to Ponty in the Kia Ora Hack Handicap. Tho following year Corowa won the High-weight Handicap at Trentham in a good finish with Jewelled Girdle. Corowa, who is by Mint leaf from Red '"" Gleam, ran somo of his best races on yielding tracks.

; ! FILLY BY CROUPIER ?b [GOOD PEDIGREE OF TAVOI Interesting sidelights on breeding aro brought out in the lines of Tavoi. winner i-'ii Of trie maiden event on the second day at Woodville. Tavoi is a rich chestnut three-year-old fill.v by the New Zealand-bred sire Croupier, from Tavora, a member of a family '/• which Mr. G. F. Moore fostered, and which produced good horses. Not only is Croupier .... J*cw Zealand-bred, but so also is his sire, Sur- - ' veyor. * - Pellet, dam of Croupier, was by Thurnaam out of Pell, who was by Hyinettus, sire ,i, of Gold Light, H.vmestra and others, out of Pellicule by Birkenhead. Pelharn, winner of the Douro Cup, was one of the family. Through her dam, Tavora, Tavoi is directly related to Kerenioana, one of the best horses •'i ?i s - '' rne ' ; " l( l among the best at a mile that New Zealand has had. Tavora was sired •\? by Pornbal from Valerie, a. sister to Kerenoana. Hallowmas, sire of Valerie, was by MartaSon, sire of Martian, one of New Zealand's tii most famous.' begetters of stayers. Bonny v, Portland, dam of Valerie, was by Boniform from Helen Portland, dam of tho New Zealand Oaks winner. Bonny Helen. Tavoi resembles Croupier and is a nice galloper. Her Woodville win, though impressive, was not a », 6p°d test, as the firld was exceptionally weak. J\ evert heless breeding and appearance Bugffest that Tavoi will bo heard of again.
