KACING NOTES

(By SUirinislier.)

Racing at Rieearton to-monwv, Monday, "Wednesday, and the following Saturday. • ~ , New Zealand Trolling Cup ot two miles."will be run at Addington on'J uesday. Racing at Ellershe to-morrow and Wednesday next. * Owners and trainers should reineml.or that entries i'or all events at the Tinniru meeting will close on lucsday next. Killowen. one or George ALattnews team at Riccartoii. has developed lameness, and may not. he seen at his hest ml the C.J.C.' meeting. ' ' . IHealliereote has pleasing tile track watchers m his work during the last two weeks, and should strip well LO-i'.iorrow.

.1 X. Andrews, the apprentice attached to D. P. Wilson's stable, rode his fifteenth winner nx, Gore, so he no longer claims the -51b apprentice allowance Andrew* rules with judgment, and should be heard of again belorc he"leaves his present employer. Kilmoon"s showing in the Rangiora Cup suggests that the Kilbroney gelding is not nearly ready to see out a strong two-mile race Alter ail. the Derby is to be Affectation's mission. .It is said that the connections of the iuibi-oney colt were not anxious to take on the favorite, who has been doing great work up to a mile and a-qiiarter. Affectation was supported by the right people for the two-mile race. Now, however, ins supporters are of the opinion that the classic event will be the easier of the. two races to win. but they 'must not overlook the fact that Rossini ran well at Rs'iidwick, and is well seasoned hi the Trotting Cup the chances of List year's winner, Author Dillon, and lUaiehligiii are well spoken of, and these two inav out- the finish, with .Mn< Dillon' and Sherwood in the places. . Of those that remain in the -Neu Zealand Cup Kilmoon still stands his "round with S.O against his name, as does the Auckland Cup winner Mascot with the same weight. Nolo had iA-i last vear. and failed badly at the blush. Y;"-aboud has been doing all that has been required of him bv his mentor, and the -on of Martian must 1>; hard to l-.e;'t with Hen Dceley up. ' Nobleman, although he did not show to advantage ■it Trent ha m. comes with good creclen-. tials and the Wellington Cup winner vill " : vc :• "ood account of himself. Kilrfwh has now. with his 10lb penalty, 7 l:j to carry, hi Sasaiioff s Cup, -Uivulav's gelding failed with 6.' m the vuldfe but it must be remembered that he was iisrhting for his head from the word go until the runners landed in the straight. He is now a year older :,nd more seasoned. The next to claim -tteniiou is the imported horse Uay Lad. wiio has been solidly supported bv those in the know, and should the Cellini horse win. then the layers wiU have reason to remember Gay Lad lor .wo time to come. His trainer has •'riven his charge some solid work, hut Ti he had been given a race, as some have had, his chance would have appealed to many good judges, who at present claim that the last bit will hud ou<- the favorite. Heathercote has got throtuih a searching preparation and 1 am prepared to see the Chokeboie !.„dge candidate give :i good aecpuiu. of himself. Rose Pink earned fa. 11* into second place last Cup, and now !,..s 7 9. tiie same as Heathercote. .battle .Song did not please the eye. last vear although he finished just behind 'the placed horses whilst carrying the • minimum: Hurry Up. with i.o, in' "robablv find the company beyond what lie used to meet. the Advauce gelding, has, however, a nice ••ei-ht to carrv. 7.3. Eleus, who repre- I :Jrr s " Southland, will be meeting j stronger opposition than he has hither- ! u, encountered, but his trainer make*. ~o secret that the son of Elysian wilt eat more than will heat him. On-: • mst performances Bingham has noil.in.r to recommend him, even with Ins h\u weight, and the same applies to Sweet Xipperary, who has been at the iuumiu" came. Starland won a « Itei .."ti "recent Geraldine meeting from i, poor field, and then journeyed to vvin.ratua, where he was badly beaten in the Mos.riel Handicap, and on the .e-ond dav. when he was again supnorted bv' the stable, he was downed h- Barley 'liiacs and Canine Jack in the ' Kaikorai Handicap lor hacks. On thi-- form, then, how can Mr Steaets .vekliutr have anv chance in the cup.-' To snin up the following appeal to me as likelv to supply the winner: A agabond. Heathercote. Kurusli. aud Oay "Yn' the Stewards' Handicap, which Maims the second leg of the double, Desert Cold has the steadier of 9.1.1. •tml it must not be forgotten bv backers that 9st. is the highe-t weight that has prevailed in this, race which was von for the second time by.that l!or'-=e Vladimir in 100-1. when carrying the Messrs Hazlett Bros.' colors. Vladimir when owned by the late Hon. <:.. Geo VcLeau can hired the same race with >.«* in 1902. Silver Tank: wbo is a (iui'-lc beginner, lias 9.2, and thou enmes Croesus with 5.9, or 41_bs less than when Arthur Oliver rode him to victory in 1915 in tin? smart time of IV> 1-nth AVaimatoa and Punka-have each R.S. aud last . S" Miliaria. ?.G. or a rise of 131b hut taking Iter Gove running as correct she

an have very little chance of adding mother Stewards' to her mauy wins, vilbrcgau with 8.3 must command remeet, especially after his brilliant run it the recent Ashburton meeting, -and, besides, the- son of Kilbroney has a likinii for the long Riceartou straight. Onslaught, by his win aftßaiigiora, has made man'v friends, and can be relied upon to run out the distance. Bon Spec is one of the ruling favorites. This' fast beginner will probably be we'll out before the straight proper is reached, and provided that he can stay tin-- last bit under pressure,, and with, such a nice racing weight, there is 110 reason wliv he should not. he must take *i>. lot cf beating. Maioha with ~9 is well spoken of by those who have seen the Hallowmas colt running of late, inuii was unplaced last year with 8.,-S-Demos comes next with 7.9, and imisf run well. Kipling is a last beginner and a bold finisher, and with ..o 'ho will five a good" account or himself. Mortijam was in the lead last year to the distance, but then he retired, with lib less than'lie iiow-has. Astinome and | Ermine have each 7.3, and the-chance:* of the Martian filly is preferred. 3Iele«» (6 13;. Braekenliekl (0.13), and Cerium* (&.$) are the remainder, and Braekennekl looks the best of the trio. Kilbroo-au.' Bon Spec, Maioha. _ and lirac-kniliekl mav supply the .winner afUT a hard race, and for a surprise Ermine n'iny beat the lot. - In the Welcome Stakes... Moorfowi and Winter Wind" represent Sir Geo. Clifford's stable, while Humbug comes from the North Island as being unbeatable. Sainja. Sunnv Corner, and Mantua ar.> al-o winners' this season. The wiiinc.' will be the elect of the ■ Chokcbo.ro> Lod"T, with Humbug next best. liiorneborg and. Hylans appear the best of those engaged m the hurdles, in which a poor lot claim attention. O thf.se engaged in the Apprentices Handicap Barley Rigs, who will stay, the distance. Stecpholm, and Lovclocl: should supply the winner. Tn the Lin wood Handicap for hacks Flight Commander, Starlight, and Early Dawn appear' to be the best of thfc lot. Of those in the Riccarton Welter Dribble is verv well at present, and will probably lie niade first choice. Royal Stag, if 'die- has not gone off since winning i 11,." Duncdin Guineas, must also _ rwwell while John Barleycorn, if nicely handled, will keep them all busy at the: weights.' aiul lower down Gienslmie reads well with 5.3, as does Burrangong with hi- S.y. On recent form, however, cuvmund me vo Dribble, John Barleycorn, and Royal Stag. ' The Dorbv comes up tor consideration on the'second day, and at. present. it looks as if Affectation will be first choice, with Rossini and the select ox Cutt*-' stable next. On his Wanganui Guineas and Mastcrton Cup performances I must pin my faith to the son of Kilbroney and Simper, and vote for Affectation. On Wednesday the Oaks will be decided and some*of those engaged must he taken on. trust. At present th« chances of Lovelock. Miss Mimic, Rose Wreath, and Tortrix read the best.
