Avondale to-day. ■ ." ' ' • Wanganui next Thursday and Saturday. The Porirua team [leave for ; Wanganui to-day. Aeolus, has gone lame at Rand wick and is being spelled, i. ' . ' ' . Aborigine will be ridden by R. Hatch m tlie' Wanganui Guineas. The pony Mighty Atom was ottered for sale at Sjvdney last Monday. ; Letherin will not be taken to Wanganui as he is to be spelled till ' next winter. : Landwern. got choired out badly m the Weraroa Handicap and his chances were extinguished. • \, >. ,--,.■ The Porirua team was added to last week by ;thc addition of a couple of youngsters by St. AIW5 r nne. ' :■ Ao]tea looked; big and fresh at Levin, and with a couple .more races should, be :able catch the' judge's 1 6ye. Bobrikoff is unbackahle for the New Zealand Cup, and the local bookmakers all report ifull volumes against him. J. B. Joel's Persimmon colt, Your Ma- i jesty, has already won. over £20,000 m Stakes this year. He comes from the same family as the Waikanae sire, Kilcheran. King Ned has nominated four fillies for .. the English Oaks of 1910. Theii/ names are Damia, Slim Lady, Perla and Flaming Vixen. . . The V.A.T.O. have voted £50 to the mother of the jockey, F. J. Hayhoe, who was killed when riding Envoy at Caulfield on July 18. .'■■... King Post and Hiro have left P. Keith's stables and. 'are now trained by-E. Mc-t Lean, who holds a license issiued by the Dunedin Jockey Club. ','■' ' All who remembered the prediction m "Truth" about dual hurdle winners should have profited by the successes of Hatley at Levin. Ti;y it next week. The V.R.C. Committee have intimated lo "Wally" Burn that he can apply for a licence to ride oix Mjii'rch 5, I'JIO. Burn tlien will haA'e been ;sjbanding down for three years. ' , ' '' Moonl)i, the four-year-oid gelding; by. Menschikoff— Apparition, who scored his maiden win at Aspendalc, Victoria, was sold for GO guineas when a yearling m New Zealand. The high-priced 3-year-old Golden Slipper, has been well supported on the other side for both Cups, iti which it is rumored that she will be ridden by the cracl: Queensland lightweight,' M. J. Hayes. ! A bundle 'of money went on Whetumarama in' the opening event at Levin on Thursday, but he could not get a "fly,' ; so could not win; and W. Young got fined £2 for breaking through Uhe tapes. As Wailjuka is supposed to have a partiality for the soft going, he was well supported m the Levin Handicap on Thursday, btiit he could only run into second place with no dividend" attached to the honor. ■;.'.', The committee of the Horowhenua Racing Club would do well to proceed' at once with the erection of a stewards' • stand and press-room; • The present facilities are very jtntedeluvian and really, hamper business. •., ; Vasa just flew m a very easy -winner m the. Weraroa Handicap on Thursday aif- , ter behaving m a shocking manner at the barrier. Remarkable to relate, the two horses that gave most trouble at the barrier m this race finished first and second. • At Levin on Thursday Windage won the Moutere Hack Race very easily and gave Luke AVilson his first warning ride this season. 1 The chestnut colt would have been handy on the. first day, only he. fell on his nose soon after the start andnearly unseated his rider.v Anything wanting lo prove the great popularity of Charles Jenkins was to be found m the public demonstrations at Levin' last Wednesday, when this capable horseman .rode All Red and Hereward to Victory. Not less hearty was the applause accorded to T. Pritchard when he steered Hatley to victory m 1/hc second Hurdles. The immediate connections of D. J. Price's stable are generally credited with being a pretty hard-headed crowd. This may he the case, but they "can, judging from results, scarcely •■ find backing the horses under the cave of that trainer a very profitable business, for they have only scored some live wins during the past 12 months.— Melbourne "Truth." At a meeting of the programme committee of the Masleriqn Racing Clvb 1 it was resolved that the s takes for the Masterton Cup be increased to £25Q, and for the President's Handicap, on the second day, to £150. The distance for the Maiden Scurry was reduced to four furlongs, to allow two-year-olds to compete, the event being a weight-for-age race. A h|unters' race was substituted for the Scurry Hack on the., second day^, }

They were unlucky to miss with Lyrist on Thursday. :. " - Forty-seven horses still remain jn the New Zealand Cup. Next Perth Cup will be worth 2000 soys ; 400 soys to second horse and 200 soys" to third. , Talepitcher won the Avondale Stakes last year. Will he win the Avondale Guineas this year ? . The Persimmon colt, Your Majesty, was favorite for the English St. Leger, won by Mm last week. . , R. Hatch rode three winners on tne seer ' qaid day at Levin and G. Jenkins rode a brace on the first ■ day. "•■■•••' The Auckland Racing Club has refused '■ the application of the Towai Racing Club for a permit to race this season. ; . Mr W. Ryan, who shipped the • Soult mare Veronica to Sydney, "has been \ advised by cable that she landed safely. . The ex-New Zealand pony Kilderkin \ was recently sold m Sydney for 47gns, Mr W. R. Delander being the purchaser.: Though Bobrikoff is putting up . sensational gallops on the Hastings track, he is still troubled with lameness m one of his shoulders; During the absence of Arthur McCodnon, who is laid aside with a broken collarbone, the Porirua jumpers will be ridden by H. Telford. ; / The trainer of Investment had l^.tickets on the machine when his charge paid a huge dividend at Levin m the first race on the second day. .'. „ . } The Trentham light-weight, R. Hatch,will beat Avondale. to-day, but will leave at "the conclusion of the first day's racing and «.be. present at Wanganui on Thursday and Saturday. . • i A glarihg bit of "stopping" took place: m the first race at the Levin meeting and after witnessing it lam firmly of ■ the opinion that the jockey referred" to would take on ■ the stoppage of the mail train. Wailethe, Naiimai and Sir Artegal are engaged at Avondale to-day. If they fail' to win On ! the opening day Wellington punters will not forget to support them for the remainder of their .engagements. How the mighty have fallen. Two years, ago had Exmoor been m the Oheku Hurdles among the poor lot that are engaged m this year's race he would nave- ibeen weighted at; 12st. ;or more. This year he has only got 10.9; ' ...... ;-. / The New Zealand-bred gelding Ngakapa, a stable mate of the crack pony Mighty Atom, showed pace for a short -distance m the Aspehdale Purse, and looks as .though he could be improved a deal m. condition. — Melbourne "Truth." : ■ ' ■■" ' On Thursday at Levin, just before the second race started, a very heavy, storm of rain fell and flooded the course. 'This completely spoilt the day's enjoyment, but despite this the club will have.a large profit over and- above expenses; ? ■ The Menschikoft— A.rmilla colt m, thePorirua stable is to be taken to ■ Wanganui • to accustom him to, travelling and also to secure him some practice at the barrier. He will make :his first public appearance m- the Hastings Stakes. ■: -:. I One jockey who had. a ride m- the fcjlecr trie Handicap 'at Levin declared to me : that he " never saw a better . performance than that of Tuiriut, whp.'got left fully fifteen lengths,, and then nearly- caught his : field before they had gone, four furlongs'.Lyrist shpwed much improved on the second day, at Le^m. 1 compared;, with the .first, and the, explanation: lay m the fact that on. the ' first-day he had devoured ' his bedding, . but . ' his . trainer muzzled him trie Onext night, and his improvement was very noticeable. V .'.-.'"■' ' The Lake County Jockey Club are 'giving the sum of £425 m stakes v for their two days' race , meeting m • December n«xt. The club's finaD.cial position, as dis--cldsed' at the annualf meeting on' Sa.tur-.. day week, is a fairly satisfactory ohe, : the credit' 'balance standing at £119. : The races will again be held on the, Arrowtown course. Never, did a horse stop so ■ quickly as did Rangipap'a m the Le /in Handicap on Thursday.,,. He entered the *': straight .with a' four -lengths' lead and it' looked only-a- --• question ,of how - much he would'-' win "by.but then Sir Frisco caught and passed him and Waihuka did/the same, and all m fifty yards: The heavy going must have been the destructive agency. " : v Lady Zoin has made a couple of "hallmarked" effprts— that isito' say, shfe has^ a couple of times carried .the. righ-t" gilt, and on -> bpth occasions . she. failed" Somewhat badly. Sydney pony, company is,, no doubt, a, bit smarter , than. that of . other places where the sport is ; encpur aged,, and' Lady Zoin will perhaps have .to come considerably: betow the 9st mark m order to proye- ' anyways ,- .profitable. -h- Sydney; "Sportsman." „;.-' ' |..' : . >•/ ' „. . '/ ' The death is announced of the Melbourne Cup winner, Gaulpjs, who was standing the season on the North Coast 'pf Victoria. Gaiilus was a great Racehorse >but none of his stock were of touch' account. He was raced by the\ late Mr William Forrester, who won the Melbourne Cup of 18U7 with him, and oh that' memorable : occasion his full brother, The f < Grafter, now doing menial duty m England, filled ; second position' '<. ;;;;// •".■..::-•. L" : '.- , The connections of Sir Fr|sco were jioi .satisfied with the way the . horse was handled on the first day \at Leyin, and In'; liis second attempt R. Hatch iWas',. put vp yin place of W. Ryan. The change was. effective, but it should be mentioned, that Ryan was unlucky on the, first day. and. got chopped out just after the start and had to go on the outside of the field the whole way. No doubt ..he would have done just as well as Hatch pn the-second day. ' Discussing the recent victory, of .the New Zealand-owned Frederick at Moorefield, the Sydney "Spprtsman" says .— "Despite there being very litljle of him, Frederick is, every inch a galloper,, and probably he is better now than at any time during his turf career. The son of Soult met a pretty fair 'field- on Satur-. day, and, though he was a conspicuous last; m the first furlong, he put m.; a splendid run up the hill, and got home a; head. in front of Will Manton. This is Fre^ • derick's second win sinpe he made his second trip from New* Zealand ,: and. as he was well backed; on each occasion, his. journey may fairly be considered a -prof- , itable'one, Will Manton, who 'ha/d the services of Pike, was I?he "hottie" on tliis occasion, and when he got to the frd^nt m the first furlong his chance was "considered particularly rosy, : but' Frederick caught him at the . turn, arid'^jufeit beatliini hbme ; after a gfea't ' struggle. '" Ttioiiglv there did not seem to be much doubt m the minds of the public as to which of the pair won, the finish was much closer than they imagined, as _a, few strides from the post, when he was about half a neck iri front, "Frederick seemed to falter, and Will -Mariton was' gaining on him as they, passed Mr .Shaw. Frederick was turned out m splendid nick by Paddy Nolan, and, though. the Maoriland pony " is sure, to receive some attention from the hands of the liandicapper, he is so well at present that another race is likely to come his way before long.
