NOTES AND COMMENTS.

(By

"Carbine.”)

Otaki on Saturday and Monday. Though she received a heavy fall at Wanganui Blackmail has been accepted for in two events on the first day at Otaki. Early favourites for the Raukawa Cup at Otaki are Tame Pox and Marqueteur. That good horse Rouen, who lias had an easy time for a while, is in steady work again at Poston. Fisher was booked to leave Otaki for Ellerslie early this week. He will be ridden in the Great Northern Steeples by W. Bowden, who had the mount on the Maniopoto gelding when he won the Great Northern Hurdles last year. The Dunedin meeting opens to* day. The first race will start at 11 a.in. The Marton club paid out ,£3353 in Government taxes last year. Foo Chow is to take his place in the field which is to contest the principal handicap at Dunedin, but he has been eased at his work as the result of an accident, and may not be at his best. Despite the 9.13 she has been given in the open sprint at Otaki Kinsem is one of the favourites for the event. other who is in the market is Civilform. A Hawke’s Bay statement is to the effect that the price at which King’s Trumpeter changed hands was ono thousand guineas. The North Island mare Bonnetter will start one of the favourites in the principal flat race at Dunedin to-day. Dessertation, who is to contest the Raukawa Cup at Otaki, has been working well on the tracks, and with her handy weight may carry a fair amount of support. Southern reports say that Will Oakland appears to have lost all fqrm at present. However, his track work has been fairly good. Bl'airmore, a three-yehr-old half-brother by Kenilworth to Beauford, won his first race recently, when he secured a six furlong novice handicap at Maitland. A. G. Dixon is the most successful apprentice riding this season. Dixon lias ridden 27 winners and one dead heat. Some Kid has been showing good form on the Riccarton tracks lately, and some have ticked him off as sure to run well next time out. Khartoum’s double win at Wanganui placed Mr B. T. Bennett at the head ,af 'the winning owner’s list at that meeting with c£Bso. Next on the list came Mr T; J. Cole (Whizz Bang 2), 28400; Mr J. Bull (Ngata and Omahu), Mr T. A. Duncan (Kinsem), J 2330; Mr W. R. Kemball (Bonnetter, Missgold and Weldone), Ji33oj and Mr A. Goodman (Printemps), ,£290. According to London "Sporting Life/’ a Swansea sportsman had .£40,000 to .£2O in a single wager about the winning double, Granely and Music Hall for the Lincolnshire Handicap and Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase. Moreover, he declined to "hedge” one penny of it, though a number of good opportunities were given before the "second leg” was successful.
