TAKANINI HORSES

ATTRACTIVE SPRINTING BORAK AND LOVAALS FIT GLEN , CONNELL IMPRESSES A smartly-run four furlongs by Borak nnd Silver Clarion, and excellent gallops over five furlongs by Lovaals, Kraal, Grandora, Mysito and Lady Pay, marked the work at Takanini yesterday, when the going was cutting out on the surface of the inside grass track, the poles being 10 feet out. A strong north-easterly wind assisted horses in the early stages of their gallops, but retarded them in the run home. Lovaals (Stockley) ran the best five furlongs of the morning in 1.3 1-5, the initial two furlongs being run in 24 2-ss. With the probability of a soft track on Saturday, Lovaals has prospects in the Electric Handicap at Avondale. Kraal (Spinley) was also responsible for a nice effort in traversing tho distance in 1.3 2-5. Kraal would be better suited by a firm track, but she may still prove dangerous in tho Three Kings Handicap. Mysito Defeats Classic Grandora . (Lonsr) worked freely over five fur'ongc in 3.4 1-5, Lady Pay (Cleaver) also pleased to record 1.5, which was very satisfactory for a novice. Foxola (Coker) and Heroic Star (Brown) sot off on a fivo-fur-long gallop, but Foxola's saddle slipped, the pair running the distance in 1.10. Mysito (McTavish) was too good for Classic (Green), whom ho defeated comfortably by a length in 1.5. An attractive effort went to tho credit of Borak (McTavish), who got the worse of the start with Silver Clarion (Green), and completed half a mile a length to the good in sii The best has yet to be seen of Borak, while Si'.vrr Clarion was responsible for the best effort of the Takanini two-year-olds engaged in the Juvenile Handicap. Manama (Stockley) had little in reserve at Hie end of a similar task in 52 l-ss. Koute March (JackVon) and Arvakur (Smith) were associated over four furlongs, run in 51 4-.">s, Koute March, a fancied candidate for the Juvenile Handicap, worked particularly well. Snake Gully (Cleaver) and Payetfo (Spinley finished together in 525. Glen Connell (Cleaver) was impressive in galloping six furlongs in 1.17 3-5, the initial three being run in 375. Maxain (Spinley) was stopping at tho conclusion of a similar task ran in i.lB, but this was accounted for by the pace shown over the first three furlongs, which were run in 355. Maxam is a fit mare, who may be suited by easy conditions on Saturday. 1 nver (Stockley) finished half a length in front of Princess Vnl (Coleman) at the end of Six furlongs in 1.17 4-5, while the impressive defeat by four lengths of Sunola (Cleaver) by' Cornish (McMinn) in 3.10, drew attention to the hitter's prospects in the Members' Handicap. Cornish appeared as though he could have done better. Valamito and Mazir Xamar.i (Beguely) infused plenty of dash into iiis seven-furlong gallop, traversed in 3.'32, being assisted over the first four furlongs by Court Favourite (Ferrall), tills section requir"Mazir (Green) and Valamito (McTavish) were again well matched over a mile, which required 1.40 4-5, but Valamito was doing it. slightly better. They ran the first four furlongs in ."VJ 3-ss, and the first. s;x in 1-lfl L-5. Details of other gallops are as follows: — Three Furlongs.—Flood Tide (Coleman), 30 l-ss; Queen City (Inglis), 41s; Kotori Pai (Long), 40s. Four Furlongs.—Dinky Di (Beguely), 52 3-ss; Gayjax (Quedloy), 52 3-ss; Silver Quex (Ferrall), s.js (easily); Gay Movie (Walker), 525.

TURF JOTTINGS TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP A very late claim to name a mare has been registered on behalf of Tinkle Bells, an 18-year-old daughter of Mountain Knight and Tinkler. Erinscourt has been purchased by Mr. S. J. Newland, Wellington, who also owns Namesake anil Forsake, whom Erinscourt will join in I. R. Gcorgo's stable. It was stated at Riccarton yesterday that To Kawiti is a doubtful starter in the New Zealand Cup and that his rider, H. N. Wiggins, will probably have the mount on The Ring. Symbol has scored in each of her two starts this season. She is held on tease by the Riccarton trainer C. C. McCarthy; and is a sister to the C.J.C. Welcome Stakes winner Symcony and half-sister to The Crooner. Beaupartir will not bo returning to tho Dominion, as ho was sold by auction at Randwick a fortnight ago at 'l5O guineas for tho stud in Kenv South Wales. John Peel, tho half-brother, by Foxbridge, to Ammon Ra, was sold at tho same sale for 075 guineas. The three-year-old Paper Money gelding Dispense won the Okains Trial Stakes well at tho Banks Peninsula meeting on Saturday, but the finishing effort of Willow Wood was very attractive, and he should show the benefit of that race at Riccarton. Willow Wood is a two-year-old chestnut colt by Cricket Bat from Winsome Hind. Mr. J. R. McKenzio had two winning representatives at tho Motukarara meeting, the galloper King's Toast and tho pacer Spangled Maiden. In each case tho pilot was having his first success. King's Toast was ridden by D. Corboy, who is apprenticed to C. Emerson, and Spangled Mniden was driven by J. R. Bryco, a nephew of James Bryce. Cymric gained a very easy success in the Knit una Illgh-weighl Handicap at the Banks Peninsula meeting, and he had a similarly effortless win in tho High-weight Handicap at Rangiora on Labour Day. As a three-year-old last season, he won four .races on end, the last being the Centennial Handicap, one and a-fjuarter miles, at Westport. lie is proving one of the best of the stock of Roydon.

Debutant Stakes and tho Mnribyrnong Plate at Flemington, Mr. McLean bought tlio remaining interest in him. He won at his next start tho Rawdon Slakes at » llliainstown, and he Is now already ono of the turf's best bargains of recent- years. In finishing ahead of the Derby winners, Pandect and Lucrative, in the Melbourne Cup. Tidal Wave proved himself (lie best staving three-year-old in Australia. Tidal Wave'was the top-priced colt, at 1 I."iogns. at the national sales last year, and he has to his credit two successes, the second and his only one so far as a three-year-old being the Rosehill Guineas. By Tiderace. Tidal Wave is a half-brother to the last New Zealand Cup winner. Yours Truly. The St. Letters will give him a further chanco of establishing a reputation as a etoyer.
