CUP TOPWEIGIIT OPINION OF ROYAL CHIEF Discussing the Auckland Cup (optveigh Royal Chief, the southern writer "Tl Watcher," says:— " Ro.val Chief is pretty consistently co: denwed as u non stayer herause lie lias n< won a two-mile race on handicap terms. Ver few iiorses have. Royal Chief has started onl four times in two-mile handicaps. Ho has bee second in the Sydney Cup, fourth and fifth i New Zealand Cups, and was close up in Melbourne Cup each time with a bit; weigh It was not lack of staying power, but ii ability to begin well on hard ground that 10.him the New Zealand Cup, and he finishe faster tnan anything in the race. Had th Cup been run ori the easier going on Mefn politnn day, Ro.val Chief would have wo j easily. It is peculiar that The Buzzer is pr< I claimed a true stayer because lie won a Auckland Cup with 7.G. while Royal Chic was fourth in the Xew Zealand Cup with !i. and second in the Sydney Cup v\ifti it.," Chief Ruler sire of Royal Chief, did not bege many real stayers, but Adoiiral Drake an Cold Trail won Auckland Cups, tl will h 0. It, not two miles, that will heat Roya Chief it he starts at Ellerslie." TURF JOTTINGS TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP After racing at Hororata, Lockit and Syn thetic, accompanied by Monetary, will hi taken by J. C. Tomkinson lo the Manawati meeting at Awapuni. Two months ago Thermidor was sent t< Christchurch for veterinary treatment. Shi has done well and has been placed in wort | by E. C. Parker al Riecarton. The three-year-old filly by Crojipier fron Tapestry has been registereii as The Flying Fortress. The yearling colt by Inflation from Discourse will race as Pedantic. Six horses are involved in the recent lif< ! disqualification of an owner. They are Nigger Boy, Sleeveless, Hunting Royal, (Jay Chou, Valro.v and a two-year-old, Master Jewel. Lockheed, who was narrowly beaten in his .last start at Ashburton. is expected to make a bold showing in the Novice Slakes al llororala. He is owned b.v ."\lr. W. llosking and trained at Riccarton by <!. Ridgway. The position of Kinneff at the head of (lie hack sprinters in (lie Cillics Handicap at the Man.iw,ilii meeting is derived from his unbeaten record of three wins, all gained in o isborne, where he is trained by ,J. \V. Nixon. Dii Maurier and Friesland, winners' of the principal races al the recent Feilding meeting, were first and third respectively in the las! Manawau Cup. This year Friesland meets Dii M-'iirier nib. better than he did in the Manchester Handicap al Feilding. Mr. Cenrice Williams, chairman of the stipendiary stewards of the Australian Jockey Club, died al the beginning of (he month. He was (17 years old. Mr. WiU'anis entered hospital for a inituT complaint, and his death was unexpected. Autolite. who has been ;iwarded 10.3 in the Reke Reke Hack Handicap at Olaki today, quickly scored in five races last season and won slakes totalling Cl.V>, her ncoregale earnings being t'.Vl'i. Thus, she is still eligible for hack events, but if in form, she should quickly graduate to open class. Rolli Sanction and Talenta had won a maiden race before they were beaten in the Trial Sialics at Trentham seven furlongs, by Belle Cane, On thai form, 'lalenta in the i'ukekiirnku Handicap, and Samlion in the 'ltaki I land hap In-day are expected lo give a good account of theniselves. Ilaana indicated at Wnodville that he is Hearing liis I>cst form, which lasl season was very promising, lie lies won over a unhand a-rjna rlor and a mile and three furlongs and carried S.ii when he ran third in the I lanranga Cup. lie has a stone less in (he Rere Nckiliue Memorial Stakes at Olaki and has been awarded T.r.t in the Manawatu C u \i. Considerable fuss has been created ccriicerning the refusal of admission to the Australian Stud Book of Passbook, dam of Bcaulivre Mrs, \V. 11. Rcarce, secretary of the breeding syndicate of Danmark I'roprietary. Limited. made application, which u;is refused by the keeper. Mr. A. L. Ynillc. Mr iiiifle, in his reidy, said, simply, that the nare Passbook and her progeny could not >e accepted for inclusion. Apparently as Passbook traces back Sharkie. Iliis is' the cause if her non-inc!iisinn. Sliarkie i> nol anion" he approved taproots. Mr. t'earce has stated hat Passbook probably will have to he relumed to New Zealand for the continuation of :ier stud career.
