The Riccarton horses Honest Sal, La Ila Meer and Arnstra galloped seven furlongs in 1.34. all working well. Classform was sent over a mile, being joined at the six furlongs by Financial, who galloped particularly well to record 1.22. He was well clear at the finish. Classform was lame afterward and is a doubtful starter in the Manawatu Cup. RIDER DISQUALIFIED PERIOD OF TWO YEARS The hurdle jockey A. E. Lord has been disqualified for two years. Some weeks ago the judicial committee of the Napiei Park Racing Club suspended Lord (or nine months on a charge laid by the stipendiary steward, Mr B. N. Sandilands, in connection with Lord's handling of Anglo* I riih in the Omahu Hurdles, won by Malacca, on the second day of the Napier meeting of November 11. Mr Sandilands was granted per* mission by the Racing Conference (o appeal to the Hawke's Bay . District Committee against the Napier judicial committee 6 do* cision and after hearing the evidence the district committee disqualified Lord for two years. TASK FOR MODULATION Should Modulation win the Villiers Stakes at the Australian Jockey Club's meeting today it will be only the second occasion in 45 years that the Epsom Handicap and the Villiers Stakes has been won by the one horse in the same year. . Rebuß won the 1918 Epsom with 9.0 and, carrying 9.10 in the Villiers Stakes, he beat Wedding Day, one of the greatest mares of her time, who had 8.4, and Panacrc, who had 9 4 . Modulation has 9.5 in the Villiers. compared with 8.10 in the Epsom Handicap. He has no opposition of the calibre of Wedding Day or Panacrc, although he has some more than useful gallopers to whom he is to concede a good deal of weight.
