NOTES AND COMMENTS
(By "Tohunga.") Chortle hurt himself badly recently by colliding with Vagabond whilst the two were indulging in some playful exorcises in a> paddock. Another horso in Jeffard's stable, Chuckle, a fullblood'ed relation to Chortle, recently broke down, and consequently tho stable is lacking in fighting force. Goldem Glow is very soro, and there is little chance of his appearance on the tracks this jumping season." 1 When Sabrenui broke his back at Gishorne his owner purchased Otara, who has a fair record for the season. If the Gazeley gelding is persevered with at tho jumping business instead of pitting him against the present topnotchers on the flat, ho should turn out a fair proposition. Informal, who is set down for a spin in Australia, is reported to be looking very bright. If he does not acquit himself decently in Australia his New Zealand admirers will he surprised. Marconi, who went wrong early in tho jumping season, is still spelling. It is hoged 1 to be able to place him again on'the tracks in the spring. - Aucklanders deplore the fact that, on account of no race meetings being held in that district for s°me time, many of those engaged in the business of catering for the horse have heen obliged to seek some other means of sustenance to that which they have beem used to.
B. Deeley failed to pass the medical test, and will continue to ride so long as racing lasts. The Southern horseman J. Olsen, who has heeni very successful in the saddle, went into camp yesterSay.
Diavolo has been put into commission again.
Braeburn i s reported! to be doing very well on> the tracks, and he will be a good horse at Napier. Prince Delaware is now a regular attendant on the tracks at Trent-ham. He will probahly contest some events at the Wellington meeting.
