NOTES AND COMMENTS,

(By

"Carbine.")

Probably it will be found that B. Wormald will have tile mount on Kohu in the Great Northern Steeplechase. On Wanganui running Kohu should go welt. Mr lan Duncan, of Wellington, has sold the brood mare 'J'alitha to the Australian breeder, Mr E. E. D. Clarke. Ta-litha is by Martian— Hebrew Maid, by Orion from' Jewish Maid, by Sheen. She is in foal to Absurd. Na.pier Park nominations are due tomorrow. Mr Clifford’s three-year-old Giantkiller and Distant Shore hare been recommissioned and are being got ready for spring racing. Vice-Eegal is to be operated on for respiratory troubles. Mr G. B. Starty, owner of Mustard Pot, intends to leave New Zealand this month on a visit to India and England. R. Homage, who won the Melbourne Cup on Carbine in 1890, is now 58, but still rides a little. Recently he rode at a meeting in Western Australia. Mr L. McDonald, an amateur rider in Now South Wales, recently won six of the eight races at a small meeting he attended. The winner of the Wanganui Steeplechase has on four occasions followedin tl.e same year with a success in the Great Northern -Steeplechase—Muscatel in 1898, Moifaa in 1901, Corozon in 1911, and Gluepot in 1917. Among the rising two-year-olds in Mr W. R. Kemball’s string are a brother to Absurdum and a sister to Wamba. In England, as in New Zealand, owners and trainers complain of the high railway charges for the conveyance of horses, but strong representations have failed to induce the companies to lower the rates. The Bandwiolc trainers have formed themselves into a company for the purchase and distribution of horse feed. They considered that they could do better for themselves than dealing with the Sydney produce merchants, and many of the leading trainers are very enthusiastic in the matter. At the first meeting over ,£7OOO worth of shares were applied for. It is considered that, properly managed, there is no reason why the venture should not be a success, as there are several obvious savings. Last season in England there were several coups associated with selling races, and various winners realised high prices. Immediately after the commencement of the current season, 1000 guineas had to be paid) in order to buy in Bridge of Due, winner of a .£193 selling two-year-old race at Newmarket. He was entered to bte sold for ,£IOO, and started second favourite. The owner of the second horse got about £4OO as his share of the selling price. The well-known Australian jockey, F. Bullock; went from England to Paris to ride at iongchamps early in April. He ■was specially engaged for Madame E. Blanc's fpur-year-old l horse Ksair in. the Prix de Sablons, a mile and a quarter race of .£2OOO. He was regarded as being on a certainty, and that idea was correct, as Ksar won easily from eight others. The same afternoon the successful coloured jockey, Winkfield, won a race in a field of twelve. Winkfield received rather a severe handling in some races last year at the hands of his lighter-coloured fellow-countrymen. Despite this, Winkfield did well and rode some good winners. "The' Latest’’ (Durban) says that although similar cases are not altogether unknown, it is seldom one sees mother and daughter 'both winning races on the same afternoon. This, however, happened at Harrismith (South Africa) a few weeks ago, when Sweet Story, who is by Petruchio—Beatrice, won the Maiden and also Bottom Division of the Galloways and Ponies, while her dam, Beatrice, who is by Dante—Loch Star, won the Top Division of the Galloways and Ponies.
