BRILLIANT DENSITY FIVE WINS IN 25 STARTS GREAT EASTER WINNER'S LINES Patrons of the Canterbury Jockey Club's Autumn Meeting are loud in praise of the Great Easter Handicap winner and recordbreaker Density, who has earned the reputation of the most brilliant mare racing in New Zealand to-day. Density's speed was not revealed at its nest in her early career, but she was generally regarded as unlucky when she was defeated by Cocksure in the Great Easier Handicap of last year. She has been unfortunate in other respects, being involved in a shunting accident last winter. She has started 25 times in three seasons of racing for five wins and nine minor [darings, her stake earnings totalling ,{.2005. Density was bred and is owned by Mr. D. Grant, T'liiaru. She'is by Pink Coat from Denise. an Australian-bred mare by Cistercian by Ayr Laddie from Symmetry, uv Trenton —Buttercup, by Panic. Denise was bought as an unraced two-year-old in Sydney for 70 guineas and, after winning a number of times in the South Island, she was sent to the stud. Density being her second foal and tlm first of her progeny to race. Pink Coat's ability is not likely to be forgotten bv racing enthusiasts, and Cistercian, sire of Denise, has been represented in Australia in the last 13 years by winners of stakes totalling over £'lo,ooo. Cistercian, a winner in England and Australia, is by Friar Marcus, who was unbeaten as n two-year-old, from Cissy Brown, by Dark Ronald. Svmmetry, grand-dam of Denise, won the Victoria Oaks, hut the family has not been particularly successful in recent years.

ADELAIDE DERBY EASY WIN FOR ADMIRER The brilliant Australian rolt, Admirer, by Robert Derby from Lulu Love, by Lulu Boy, added to bis Hue winning record b.v annexing the pacers' section of the South Australian Derb.vat Wayville on March H 3. Admirer won from end to end. and had an advantage of 30yds at the finish from Finden Queen after 'registering 3.27 <l-5. Admirer has won seven races in succession and is considered one of the best threeyen r-olds to race in. Australia. As a prelimiliary to tlie classics, he won two handicap races, against older horses, at Ascot, Melbourne, and then followed his victories in the Goulburn, Warragul, Snowtown, Melbourne and Adelaide Derbies. The colt is owned by Mr. JL Eonch, who trains and drives him. The trotters section of the Derby was won easily by the favourite, Derwent Bells, bv Derwent Derby from a G rattan Bells mare with Walla Dawn, by Walla Walla, second, and Red Heva, by Roy Redmond, third. The winner, who took a mile and a-quartcr record at a 2.21 mile rate at Snowtown, was only required to trot at a 2.H2 rate' for the mile and a-half. SYDNEY SAPLING STAKES

PREJUDICE CREATES RECORD The pacers' section of the Sydney Sapling Stakes was run in two divisions at Harold Park on March 18, a feature of the second division being the defeat of ti}e crack two-year-old Dillonrany, who was unplaced. Both divisions were won by progeny of Walla Walla, Prejudice defeating Dixie Lawn, by Lawn Derby, in the first, and Western Wirra winning the second by a head from Speedy Mine, by Cobber o' Mine. In the run-off between the two winners Prejudice defeated Western Wirra by a lencrth in 2.17 lowering the New Soulli Wales Iwo-.vear-old record of 'J.IB, established at Coulhurii last year by Wilbur Dillon. The "trotters' section was also a triumph for Walla Walla, who scored the first and second, \\*alotus and (linger Walla.
