THE NEW ZEALAND CUP

(By “Advance.”)

The handicap issued last week for the New Zealand Oup is the fifteenth Mr Honrys has compiled. -Formerly the work was done by a handicapping committee, a most unsatisfactory system, which it; is hoped will not be again reverted to in the writer’s time. It was of the oommittee’s T ork that “Beacon” remarked: “It is, of course, always far easier to find fault with a handicap than to compile one that will give general satisfaction; still I must say that the handicap contains gross errors that no one who has the slightest knowledge of colonial racing should have committed. 5 ' The above was v ritten about the first Cup won by Tasman. Sixty six horues were engaged, old Mata (9.6) being top weight and the minimum 6.0 Only three horses were on the minimum mark. The reduction in the entry fee to a pound is at piesent responsible for the number of entries of horses that have no pretensions for a race of the kind. Whether the large number of sprint races in racing club programmes nowadays is responsible for the number of nonstayers is a matter for discussion. At all events the dozen horses whose names appeared at the top of the list in the first Cup would, in the writer’s opinion, have no difficulty in beating over two miles the same number of horses who head this year’s list. The 1883 lot were Rundoora, Welcome Jack, Salvage, Mata (then past his prime), Sir Modred, Tasman, Cheviot (all great horses), Lady Emma, Mischief (two good mares), Van-, guard, Lord Burleigh (a first-class but unlucky performer in Australia) and Betrayer. The entrance fee was reduced from two sovereigns to one four years ago, when Nonette received 9.9 as a four-year-old, eighteen horses were above the 7.0 division and thirty-eight below it Of the latter number thirty-six were within 31b of the bottom and nineteen had the minimum weight opposite their names. This year, of the seventy horses weighted, forty-six are at. 7.0 or below that weight, thirty-five are within 31b of the bottom and nineteen are asked to carry the lowest weight. The appended -table, showing the handicap each horse has received, the weights each would have to carry in a weight-for-age race over the same distance, and the difference over and under the w.f.a. scale, should be interesting.

the race during the past fourteen years it will be noticed that three-year-olds have only been successful on three occasions. As a rule more of this age are entered than any other. It may be that trainers experience difficulty in winding up youngsters for such a long journey so early in the season. On account of. the long journey and light impost the writer would sooner stand a good three-year-old than horses of older ages. Australian trainers have a much better record with three-year-olds in the spring. Taking the Melbourne Cup, a much harder race to win, as a guide, it is found that during the past ten years three-year-olds have been successful on no less than five occasions. During the same period they filled second place once and third place five times —a really good record. Among the good performances put up at Flemington were those of Newhaven (who carried 7.13 when he won), Malster, who had 7.11 when he ran second to Clean Sweep, and Aurum, who had 8.6 when he ran third to two smashers like Gaulus and The Grafter, both of whom were in receipt cf age and weight. A three-year-old would have won at Hi i chart on last spring had Nightfall represented Mi* Stead instead of Grand Rapids.

Several of the above-named carried penalties in addition to their original impost. British Lion put ut> 31b extra, St. Hippo 71b, Rosefeldt 31b, Seahorse 71b. Halberdier 31b, Grand Rapids 71b. Ideal carried 7.8 (31b overweight) when she dead-heated with Fulman. Last season seven homes engaged in the Cup incurred penalties, including three of the Yaldhurst team for wins at Randwick. The worst of these (Grand Rapids) was started on the day and was lucky enough to beat Mahutonga, who also carried 71b more than his original impost. The penalty condition has been altered this season and provides that no penalty shall increase a horse’s weight above weight-for-age. Winners of the race during the past fourteen years are as follows: st. lb.

During the fourteen year® Mr Henrys has acted in an official capacity for the Canterbury Jockey Club he has had to handicap some good horses. The top weight each year is shown below:—

Only on three occasions has the top weight started. Craokshot failed to get a pTaoe. Nonette finished in the ruck behind Halberdier, and Achilles was third to Canteen and Wairiki. The table attached gives the handicaps of horses that have been engaged in tbe race in previous years. It will be seen that Melwood, Calibre, Nonette, Achilles and Secret Society have each been engaged four times.

The heaviest handicapped of the aged division during the time under review are appended:—

Of those that went to the post British Lion won, Prime Warder was unplaced, Lady Zetland won, Waiuku von, Douglas and Battleaxe were unplaced, Halberdier won and Convoy was unplaced. The top weights of the six-year-old division during the past fifteen years are appended:—

The record of the starters froan the above-named is as follows:—Merrie England, Cynisea, Prime Warden and The Possible tv ere unplaced, Tortulla won and Ideal ran unplaced, Halberdier won -i Since 1891 the best five-year-olds have been handicapped as under: —

Prime Warden, Au Revoir, St. Paul 1 and Shrapnel, the only starters in the above list, finished out of a place. The official estimate of the best four-year-old handicapped each year is as follows: — st. lb.

1905—Nightfall 8 12 Orackshot failed to get placed, which result attended Skirmisher’s effort, also Daystar, Explosion ran third, Nonette was unplaced, Achilles ran third. The best of the three-year-old division were: — st. lb.

Vogengang ran unplaced. Three Star unplaced, Gipsy Grand ran third, Dundas was unplaced, Seahorse won. Last year Achilles (10.0) and Mahutonga (6.7) appeared at the top and bottom of the list respectively. Now they are together and the writer expected to seo less than seven pounds between them. In weighting Achilles lighter than last year everyone will agree. As a four-year-old, with 9.6 he ran third, and last year went up 81b, being allowed to drop out of the race. Between five and six years of age he is, according to the w.f. scale, supposed to improve lib. It would have been ridiculous to have given him 10.1, with youngsters perhaps as good as Nightfall among the three-year-olds. The reason why the writer expected him to be close to his w.f.a. impost was because he ran twice over a distance of ground last year and was defeated. This was at the Wellington Oup meeting, when he carried 9.12 in the Cup (meeting Nightfall on a stone and a half better terms than when they were handicapped at Riccarton) and with 9.9 in the Racing Club Handicap. Even with 9.8, nearly a stone more than has ever been carried to victory in the race, Achilles may not be good enough to win. Provided he trains on he may be considered a likely starter. He has already been supported by early backers who have taken the risk of a stai-t. Sportsman like to see the best home win, but whether Achilles is good enough remains to he seen. Be nas 21b over and Mahutonga lib under w.f.a. The Quilt horse is unlikely to go to Australia and may not risk a penalty as he did last year. Some persons have been prejudiced against Mahutonga, but his performances stamp him as firstclass. In .the Auckland Cup he carried 8.12 and beat Scotty (8.3). Romeo (8.7), Melodeon (8.8), and Ghoorka (7.9). In the Racing Club Handicap, one mile and a half, Mahutonga had 9.7 and was beaten by Scotty (8.6), Quarryman (7.12) and Starshoot (7.12). In the Auckland Plate, one mile and a half, Mahutonga (8.11) easily defeated Gladstone (8.0). This colt had previously won the Summer Cup, one mile and a quarter, heating a good field under 7.11 in 2min 10 4-sseo. and the Great Northern Derby, in which Nightfall fell. At Easter time Gladstone won the Autumn Handicap* one mile and a half, carrying 7.7. He was rather fortunate to get in with such, a light impost. He beat Paritutu (8.4), who had previously won the Taranaki and Egmont Cups and ran second to Quarryman in the Wanganui Oup. The form shown by Mahutonga through Scotty, Gladstone, Paritutu, Quarrymaa and others entitles him to all the weight he has received, and perhaps a few pounds more. Nightfall (8.12) has 31b above her weight-for-age, for which reason she may be reserved for tiie weight-for-age events. Last year she had a moral, and was reserved for the Derby and Oaks. Mahutonga may be

considered an almost certain starter provided all goes well with him the next two months, and may prove the best of the top weights. Vladimir (8.9) is the first of the Stepniaks to get a distance. He won the Great Autumn with 61b iess on his back in 2min 36sec. Had he been able to keep up the speed for another half mile he would win more Cups than he would lose. He will no doubt- be specially prepared for the race. Nanette (8.9) has got off with a stone less than two years ago. He missed his opportunity as a three-year-old when he remained at home and made a certainty of the Guineas. Quarryman impressed the writer by the manner in which he won the Wanganui Cup (If miles) with 101 b less on his back. In the Great Autumn at Riocarton he was beaten a neck by Vladimir, whom he pow meets on 41b better terms. If Maniapoto happens to win at Randwick he will go up 101 b to 9.0, and to win with that weight be will have to do what has not been done since 1883. It is to be hoped that he is good enough to win at Sydney and at Riccarton, as his owners are plucky and gave a big price for the horse. Oh performances he has plenty in being placed so close to some of those above him. Gladstone (8.4) proved the best of the three-year-olds of his sex over distance of ground. He meets Mahutonga on the same terms as when he was beaten in the Auckland Plate, hut has since performed successfully, whereas Mahutonga has not been seen out. According to the weight-for-age scale Gladstone improved 161bs and Mahutonga 61b. Orloff (8.2), has shown signs of unsoundness. Scotty (8.1) was at his best, last year and finished up' the season in good style by winning the Easter Handicap, one mile, carrying 8,11 in imin 43 2-ssee. He meets Mahutonga on 51b better terms than in the Racing. Club Handicap. Of the two the writer prefers Mahutonga.. Scotty meets Quarryman on 161 b better terms than in the Wanganui Cup. Patronus (8.0) has not been put in work. Paritutu (7.12) struck form at the West Coast autumn meetings. At Taranaki he carried 7.0 and won the Cup in 2min 89sec. At Egmont he won the Cup with 7.13, heating Jeanne d’Arc (8.9). In the "Wanganui Cup he was giving weight to everything hut Scotty, and finished behind Quarryman, whom he now meets on 171 b better terms. He receives the same allowance from Gladstone for a defeat in the Autumn Handicap at Ellerslie.On these two performances Paritutu appears to have a chance. Gold Crown (7.11) has done well up to a mile and a quarter, hut failed in the Feilding Cup when carrying 9.4. Meiodeon (7.10) has been rather a disappointment, Convoy (7.9), St. Michael (7.9) and Bulawayo (7.9) may not stand winding up. Rosea! (7.8) never appeared to quite recover from the had cold he contracted at Rangitikei in the spring. Ghoorka (7.8) placed three Cups to his owner’s credit fast season, but there was nothing brilliant among the horses he beat either at Dunedin or Napier Park. He belongs to a out and come again tribe (the Lochiels) and is the best of the family that has represented his sire in the colony. Mr Monk, who owns Ghoorka also has Achilles in the ‘race. Golden Knight (7.8) has left the Yaldhurst stable and may take up stud duty. Jeanne d’Aro (7.6) got to the front last season in decent company. Her President’s Handicap win at Manawatu, third to Nightfall in the Wellington Cup, win on the second day in record time, and defeat of Paritutu at level weights at E'gmont, were all creditable performances. She had to be eased in her work for a jar some weeks back, but is now in work at the Hutt. Now we come to the first of the three-year-old division, Noctuiform (7.6). The fullibrother to Nightfall was seen out twice last season. At Ellerslie the first time he sported silk he created a surprise by winning the Royal Stakes, six furlongs. In his other lace he finished third in the Middle Park Plate with 7.9 to Stronghold (8.9) and Marguerite (7.11), these being the only starters. The Yaldhurst stable is also represented by three other three-year-olds in Sun god (7.0), a-half-brother to Martian, Porcelain (6.13) a maiden colt, and Cunieform (6.13) who has not yet sported silk. Sungod and Noctuiform will be seen out at Randwick next month. Porcelain is from Saucer (imp.) and Cunieform is from Bluerfire. All four youngsters claim Multiform, a brilliant sprinter and great stayer, as sire. The only one of the breed tried over distance in public last season was Nightfall, and if any of the youngsters engaged in November prove as good as she was at the same age that one will win. Melwood (7.3) ran second four years ago to Tortulla. He has been more or less on the retired list since, and may not stand training. Black Reynaril (7.2) and Tirol© (7.0) strike the writer as horses likely to be better suited over shorter courses. General Symons (7.0) may not train on, having broken down once. Veneer (7.0) did not escape so lightly as Mahutonga at the same age. Lady Wayward (7.4) did nothing. of importance last season. Sir Tristram (6.13) -will probably represent the Hon. J. D. Ormond, as Lyrist is not class enough. The colt ran well in all his engagements, and finished up with a popular victory in the Hawke’s Bay Stakes. Boomerang (6.13) is by a. Melbourne Cup winner, and scored three times as a two-year-old. Notes (6.13) is one of two Lord Roslyn colts engaged by the Hon. Geo. McLean, the other

being Armamento (6.7). Shrapnel (6.11) is not suited by the distance, and Calibre (6.10) is not class enough. Flamen (6.10) proved himself a good stayer by running second in the Canterbury Derby and New Zealand St. Leger. The others on the 6.10 mark are the three-year-old colts Apoilodoris, Apologue, Multifid, Gay Spark and Probable. With the exception of Gay Spark (half brother to Treadmill) all showed winning form last season. Apoilodoris and Apologue are both by Phoebus Apollo, the latter being a half-brother to Gladstone. Joe Chamberlain (6.9) is unlikely to stand. The others handicapped at 6.9, Armistice, Douche, Beau Seaton and Clanburn, have done nothing to recommend them as likely winners. TThe writer lias no fancy for any of the known performers among the 6.8 or 6.7 division. The unknown quantities include four three-year-old fillies in Assegai, Sweet Helen, Loiret and Tsitsihar. Below will he found a list of the candidates classified according to their age, commencing with the three-year-old division, which totals seventeen:—

The winner may be found among the three-year-old division. Of the number the Yaldhurst elect, Sir Tristram and Boomerang are preferred. There were fourteen four-year-olds handicapped as follows: —

Gladstone and FI amen may he the best of the four-year-olds. [Gladstone has since been withdrawn.] The five-year-olds number fifteen as under:—•

Mahutonga, Quarryman and Maniapoto are the pick of this division. The six-year-olds engaged number twelve as follows :—-

Achilles, Vladimir and Ghoorka look the best, of the six-year-olds. Twelve of the aged division appear in the list, handicapped as under:—

Scotty and Paritutu are the only ones in the aged division who appear dangerous. [Patronus was withdi'awn on Saturday last.] To pick the winner in three, the writer names _ The Yalbhukst Elect, Mahxjtonga and Achilles.
