J -Kncoro' has a very ugly looking i front leg, but he moves soundly enough |on it : ■■■■-„.,. , • .-' | Sir Tarka will not' accompany the I rest of Taylor's horses to Australia. | He is now an inmate of Ted ScpuHar's j stable, and is looking very well. Martius is sure to give a. good account of himself at the coming meetings down south. The racing that the Martian gelding has had during the past month has put him m apple-pie order. When the weights suit, Jack Pine will do the riding for Derrett's stable at the Oamaru and Dunedin meetings. Margerene is looking rough m the coat, but she is carrying plenty -of muscle. The little mure is galloping well; and should give a good account, of herself if not raced out of her distance. .\ , Chrysotis has finished with the race track. Her shoes have been removed and she is running m the paddock. Next spring she will be mated with her old sta/ble companion, Bonny Glen. '. . ". Sir George Clifford will not be represented at either the Oamaru or Dunedin meetings, but all' going well m the interim, Flying Start, Battle Eve 1 and San Sebastian will carry his colors at the Auckland Winter, meeting. , San Sebastian was on the private s^le list, but was taken off on account i of " his good showing at the C..T.C. j Easter meeting. Since then Ills efforts m public have been very moddrate. The racing at Ashburton did Tannhauser good, but he is still very backward. Thestius is having a short holiday, j He is to be got ready for next year's I iDerby. \ ' ■■-. ■' ■ - X ■ Teritaa was tried at the pony hurdles last week. He unshipped his rider once, .and altogether gave an inglbribut display. He may make a jumper, but it will take a long time and will be contrary to the chestnut geldings i inclinations. ■■„.■ KlHeria has been Bent home to her owner's place outside Oamaru. The Kllbroney mare who looks -k~ fair proposition for the next C.J.C. Oaks, m future will be trained at home. Flndhorn has put on a lot of surplus condition since he raced at Easter time. The big geltllng will be all the better for a race. Reval has not been asked' to do a great deal since he won the Easter Handicap, and m e6nse<ju<m<jfe Is <m the bfg sJda just Jiow.
