WAIKATO MEETING

DAKK HOSE SUKI'ItISES I GOOD EFFORT BY KENTUCKY SUCCESS OF FLYING ACRE Four favourites, Black Majesty (win I only), Kentucky, Flying Acre and Arctic Dawu, were successful oil the second day of the Waikato Racing Club's Winter Meeting at Te Rapa yesterday, but there wore several big dividends, Dark Rose. Little Ruse and Roval .lay all paying double figures. ' The success of Dark Rose in the Waikato Steeplechase after his unplaced performance in the Melville Hack and Hunters' Steeplechase came as a complete surprise and he was the outsider of the field of nine, paying over a third of a century. Kentucky was responsible for a meritorious effort in winning the first division of the Te Rapa Handicap, and Flying Acre staged a return to form in the second division. Gold Spot drew further attention to his prospects in the Great /Northern Hurdles at Kllerslie by scoring very decisively in tbe Hamilton Hurdles after losing several lengths at the start. In spite of showery weather, there was a large attendance. The track was heavy. The iotalisator handled £35,710, compared with i £30,3!)- on the second day last year, an increase of £B3IB. The investments for the meeting were £95,909, against £70,725 10s last year, an increase of £10.153 10s.

TURF JOTTINGS TRACK AND STABLE GOSSIP The former hurdle horseman ,T. Bromley, who was in charge of Beau \ ite in Australia last, sprinz. has set up as a trainer at I rentha in, and lie has made a start with Galteeniore who was recenllv handed to him as a gift Gold Flight, winner of the Seadown Handicap at South Canterbury ori Thursday, is a three-year-old full-sister to Dark Flight, who last .season equalled Silver Scorn's six-furlong record for/,. Australia and New Zealand, since lowered by Aiirie's Star. It was Gold Flight's first success this season, but sho was recently unlucky at Invercargill. D. E. Cotton has made a start on three of Mr. D. Grant's young horses, who have been spelling. J hey are the three-year-old gelding Highland Dance, by Pink Coat from Keel Row, and a couple of two-year-olds, the Pink Coat—White Doe gelding and Ihe Pink Coat —Tan's March filly.

The daughter of Grand Knight and Rachel, the latter the dam of Rabbi ,'iml others, was trained in Sydney I'.v 11. !!. Lorigan. who now owns and trains The Monarch, Rachel, now Hi years old. is in foal this season to Battle Song In view of the fact that it was necessary to pet aside ear.oo for income tax and social and national security charges, the result of the year's l operations must be considered satisfactory. states the annual report of the Canterbury Joekev Club. The sum of €lslO was {riven to various patriotic organisations during the year and to this would be added the profit of £4O His'/7d. Rut for adverse weather at 'he nutiiinn meeting, Bin patriotic funds would have benefited to a much greater extent. Great Flight lias been sold by the trustees of the late Sir Charles Clifford to a patron of M. Gonza. and she went into her new Quarters Msi week. She i« a five-year-old mare hy Magnus from Swoopaloncr. and she showed some useful form while in hack class.

Skvrenn, Rebel Lndv nn, l Philibun. Lady Magellan has been returned to her owner.
