It was intended to take Lindon, and perhaps Borodino, -up to the Napier meeting, b-ut the date of nomination was overlooked. — Act, Banian, and Lo-e Token axe booked to leave for 'lie North Island this week in order to fulfil engagements at Napier Park. tx ?-j 18 reported to be in work again. He did not go seriously amiss, but struct himself, and had to be eased up for a few days. — Only four horses, in Sandy Paul 11.2, Master Timi 10.10, Fagot 9.12, and Sabrenui 9.9, were t. aid up for in the Gieborno Steeple- , chaso, of 400bovs. —L. Hegarty has beem retained to ride Art and Banian in their North Island engagements owing to W Bush being unable to take the mounts. —Mr G. D. Greanwood has named his Comedy King—Petunia coH Pa'staff. The sister to Nones and Lovesick will race under the name of Lcvelock. — Art was attempting to give Sleight of Hand 161b in tho ■ last Grand National Hurdles. At Napier Park he is meeting the latte- on 231b bettor terms. — Breaburn, the winner of the Wanganui Steeples, was handicapped to give Sleight of Hand lib on that occasion. The latter did not start, and at Napier Park there'is 9lb betweao tbem. — A full brother to Fiery Croee and ft brother to Glendower are booked to join T. Christmas's stable at Biocarton. A Glenapp— Kris colt (brother to Partisan) is now a member of the team. — The Royal Artillery gelding Moddite, who was a .fairly good hurdler, gave the impression by his form over the Auckland fences that he should develop into & stakewmner over big country. — When Sleight of Hand won the Grand National Hurdles with 10.6 Bon Reve was amongst the placed lot with 10.9. In the iNapier Steeples Bon Reve meets his Riccarton competitor at an allowanoe of lib. — The well-known North Island ownertrainer J. Cameron was on a brief visit to Dunedin last week after an absence of about 25 years. He was associated with some of the Forbury Park stables in those bygone days. — Seedown continues to be schooled over hurdloß, and is reported to have shape? well over the small sticks whilst up at Auckland. By the time he sports silk over hurdlec Seadown should be fairly proficient at the game. —'Some of the critics who viewed the Great • Northern Steeples hold the opinion that Collector would have seriously troubled Waimai had he not fallen at the last fence. At that stage Collector was right up with Waimai. and going well when the mishap occurred. —It is said that an offer of £500 was refused for the Foremost—Mira gelding Northland, who won a double at the A.R.C. meeting. _ Northland is a half-brother to Haydn, winner of the Grand National Steeples of 1902, and is engaged at the ■Napier Park meeting — Bjorneborg, who finished third to Depredation and Wishful in the Aucldand Cup, of 1916, figures in the Moteo Hurdles at Napier Park at 9.13, and is in receipt of SOlb from Wishful. In the Auckland Cup they were carrying oven weightß. and separated by half a length at the finish. — A promising two-year-old colt, bred end owned by A. Prmgle, is shaping promisingly, and is destined to take part in the next Trotting Derby to be run at Forbury Park. The colt was got bv El Carbine from Myall, by Wildwood—Daybreak, by Vancleve— Moonbeam, by Childe Harold. » — The Treadmill filly Mill Queen, who got amongst the winners at Otaki, was sold at the yearling sales of 1915 in aid of the Patriotic Funds. She went up with Mr J. F. Buchanan's youngsters, and was knocked down at lOOgs to Mr G. D. Greenwood, who promptly put her up again and resold her at 90gs. — Irish Princess, the winner of the Brisbane Cup, of 1500b0v3, is a New Zeakndbred mare got by King Rufus from Alannah, by Salvadan —Cuiira6ette, by Cuirassier — Dolosa, by Leonlius —I/ure, by Traducer — Mermaid. Irish Princess put up a smart gallop by winning over the two-mle journey in 3.2% — The Kilbroney—Rumour filly Idle Talk, who got amongst the winners at Otaki, wai formerly & member of the Higkden stable but sold out of that stable on the eve ol the last Manawatu meeting. She is a halfsister to the speedy Polymorphous, and also to the speedy, but -disappointing, Achilles gelding War Hawk. — The crack colt Kilboy has been thrown out of training, and will take up a hid work next season. His wins in the C.J.C. Challenge Stakes. A.J.C. Derby, Gold Cup, St. Loger, and Groat Autumn Handicap stamped the son of Kilbroney and Cyre as a highclass raoehorse, and so stoutly bred a young stallion is well worthy of good chances at the stud. — Before Thaddeus and Michaela developed form their dam, Jeßsie Ixswais, was shipped to Sydney and purchased at a fairly moderate figure by a Queensland breeder. When shipped to Sydney Jessie Lewaxs was carrying a service by Sunny Lake, and, judging by the appearanoe of .some of his stock, tho Queensland buyer has very possibly struck a good bargain. — Tlie Martian—Grand Opera rising two-yeai-old colt has been named Rossini. Grand Opera threw three colts in Soldiers' Chorus, Tannhaueer. and Cherubini as her first contributions to tlie Stud Book, and then came three fillies, which have failed so far to achieve any great distinction on tho turf. In fact, they are comparative failures, although tho youngest in Bccarolle may do something to kill the reputation of softness whioli has gathered round Grand Opera's daughters. The next oolt is Rossini, who was a fine, raking yenrling, sold at llOOgs to Mr G. D. Greenwood, a"nd he looks likely to be as pood or bettor than any of his brothers. Their breeder, Mr J. F. Buchanan, is evidently not a believer in the opinion fhflt continuous mating with one sire makes tho saturation which leads to deterioration, ns he has bred Grand Opera to Martim every season sinoe 1907.
