Nominations for the Dunedin winter meeting are due on Friday. On all sides one can hear it predicted that the excellent acceptances for the Oamaru Jockey Club’s meeting .will mark a record success. It will be very pleasing indeed if such should prove to be the case, as the club has bet* the “sisyphus” of the sporting world, but nevertheless has kept battling on to what everyone hopes to be a well deserved success. Solgele and C. Emerson have won the Novice Stakes at Amberley for the last three years. The conditions make it open to horses that have not won a race to the value of lOOsovs to the winner. From some of the opinions now being expressed about Silver Paper one might believe that he has just been discovered. He opened hia career by being unplaced at Ashburton, and the punters were already on his track when making , him second favourite in the field' of 18 that went out for the* M’Lean Stakes, won by Childsplay. They were still on Ilia track when he was sent out favourite for the Dominion Handicap, in which lie ran second to Battlemaid when giving her 101 b. He then ran second to Childsplay in the “ Welcome Stakes, and started favourite for the Spring Nursery Handicap, which he won with 8.13, in Imin 1 2-ssec, and beats Silver Rule, Chide, Noteworthy, Goblin Market, Rigmarole, Concentrate, and others when giving away anything from 12lb to 271 b to the opposition.

It is understood that the stallions Night Raid and Polazel are to be sold, and the stud owned by Mr A, F. Roberts . dispersed. It will be interesting to note how the South Canterbury Jockey Club’s change of dates from an autumn to a winter meeting will result. In the first place, the change will bring the meeting away from a more congested part of the racing calendar, and the fact should materially assist the success of a change. The Timaru meeting will take place a couple of weeks after the Dunedin winter meeting. and if the Southland Racing Club makes a contemplated change next season by racing in May instead of earlier it would strengthen the position in this part of the world by establishing a circuit of Invercargill, Dunedin, and Timaru to pave the way to the Wellington winter meeting. It is difficult to obtain a favourable date in the busy part of the racing season, and if the change became permanent it would probably operate to the advantage of clubs, owners, trainers, riders, and all concerned. During the last four seasons Reremoana has been a competitor in the J. D. Ormond Memorial Gold Cup, with%the result that he has gained first, second, and third placings, his other effort being an also started. * Silver Peak, the dam of Silver Paper, is not in the Stud Book, and a line to her breeding iseeras necessary, because it has been erroneously referred to by a northern ■writer. Silver Paper was got by Paper Money, from Silver Peak, who, when raced, was returned as by Adjudge, from Oblong. According to the Turf Register, Oblong was got by Obligado, from Mountain Maid, and raced for some seasons under that breeding. The northern writer gives Oblong as by Obligado, from Peak, by Occident, .from Mountain Maid. Turning again to the Turf Register, it will be found that Peak is returned as by Stepniak, from Mountain Maid, and raced for three or four seasons. As a matter of fact, the writer named Peak for the late Mr C. Clark, who raced Mountain Maid, Peak, Oblong, and others. Mountain Maid raced from about 1890 to 1895. During the season of 1893-94 she won nine times out of 19 starts, and, seeing that Silver Paper has been showing really high-class form, .a glance at Mountain Maid’s performances may be of interest. She struck her best form in 1893-4, when she started by the Stewards’ Purse at the Taieri, meeting with 10.12, over a mile and a distance, and after an interval of one race came out again and won the Flying Handicap from six others. At Palmerston:’ she won the President’s Handicap, one tnile.and a-quarter, from eight others, and the:. Spring Handicap, six furlongs, from .Kauroo and Vanilla, then a three-year-old, 1 and subsequently a winner of the Stewards’; Handicap,,in, 1896 and 1897. Mountain,.Maid had only a stable companion' to beat over a mile and a-quarter at the Maori Kaik meeting, and she followed by I winning oyer a mile and six furlongs: at Clinton. She won again at Tapanui',, and her final success was at the same meeting, where she got the stakes under a protest, Oblong was very speedy, and prior to’ Obsono going north to run second in the , Handicap to Equitas in 1910, she ran him to a head over four furlongs at Gore when in receipt of 71b.! In'her first season Oblong beat 15 others at Oamaru, and, ridden by J. Beale, paid; a thumping big dividend.. In Queensland station sires and dams ■ having the free'run of the country have begotten youngsters that at times have turned out good racehorses. In future nominations may not be accepted unless the dam is traced, and „duly registered. The idea is to do away with the vagrant part of the pedigree “ dam unknown.” 1 ' Mr J. R. M'Kenzie, the successful owner of trotters and pacert, has owned an odd galloper at different times. The two-year-oid_ colt by Elldn Gowan—Vibration, which was imported _ from England as a yearling, having cost its owner 800 guineas; 1 is a well-grown;, beautifully-niade colt (says the Christchurch Sun). At present he is under the eye' of P. B. Plaxico. A Melbourne writer, commenting upon Zircon’s bad luck in the Great Eastern Steeplechase at Onkaparinga on ' Easter Monday, says that “ W. Garrett has practically promised to return to Adelaide in 1930 with a horse to run in the Great Eastern, and maybe he will be lucky at the third trip. Zircon’s owner has not overlooked the fact that the V.R.C. Grand National Steeple will be run in July, and it is quite on’the cards that he will come back with Zircon for- that £SOOO race.” The six-strand barrier was introduced at the opening of the English racing season, and in the opinion of the principal riders and the starter proved an unqualified success. ■ . , Inca note regarding. Cross Battery and her descendants,- Snowden,” in the Australasian, states .that the All Blqck— Ci’oss Battery alliances were not so successful as those of the mare with Comedy King. _ “ Snowden ” appears to overlook what, in the writer’s mind, marks a most dangerous cross between a Gallinule horse or Comedy King with Stepniak mares. He may, of course, be maintaining, a judicious silence, because it is the highroad to unpopularity, to draw attention to the faults of a stallion until the horse is under the turf. The late Mr W. Allison,when “ Special Commissioner ” of the London Sportsman, once said'that no man dare speak the truth about a horse until the animal died. . Gallinule was a most notorious bleeder, and for that reason. - was sold to.-go to Ireland. Comedy King was ont of a Gallinule mare, and Stepniak sired more bleeders than any other horse " • the writer knqwa or ever heard of. This ; mean? that a cross between All Black and Cross Battery was inbreeding to notorious strains of bleeders, and the same thing applied when mating the mare with Comedy King. It is true that the taint may lie dormant for a generation, but vanyone with more than a superficial knowpledge of breeding would not in-breed in such a dangerous manner. The most notable bleeder got by All Black in New Zealand was Egypt, the brother of Desert Gold.’ The writer noticed him bleeding after a race. He was thought to be a better stayer than bis famous sister, but unfortunately. he punctured. Another similar case was furnished, by Menchikoff. by Stepniak, and Scobleoff, two brothers, the former a great performer and the latter a bleeder, and both were trained by the famous R. J. Mason, so that faulty training could hardly be held responsible for the trouble. Another famous case ofan inherited bleeder was Humorist, who bled to death' shortly after winning the Derby. He was inbred to Hermit, the most notr.ioua bleeder and sire of bleeders in racing history. Hermit was the sire of Gallinule’s dam. Seclusion, the dam of Steppe, who produced Stepniak, was by Tadmor, a bleeder, and both Seclusion *nd Steppe were bleeders. Hermit was a son of Seclusion, and Chauoincsse, a sister to ' Hermit, was a bleeder. , Furthermore, Toxophilite, the sire of Musket, was a bleeder, and Petronel. one of. Musket’s best sons sired in England, suffered from the same trouble. It would

be difficult, therefore, to find a stronger inheritance of bleeding strains in a pedigree than one containing a close combination or superabundance of Gallinule, Hermjt, or Stepniak. She, a sister to Stepniak, produced Bobadil, who sired bleeders. Hence breeders should studiously breed away from such strains and not back to them if they wish to avoid possible trouble. As said before, the trouble may lie dormant in a generation or skip members of the same family,’but the chance of it recurring is beyond question, particularly when horses'are trained by, those not competently educated in their profession gnd fairly well conversant with the pedigree of their team. This is a most important arrow in the quiver of a trainer’s knowledge, but particularly so in that of the breeder and stud master. The taint in a pedigre nowadays is not very obvious, because the foundation of the trouble has drifted out of sight in a few generations of pedigrees compiled for the present-day horse. The red flag of danger in the Stud Book nevertheless continues to exist, and Should not be ignored. It is necessary to draw pointed attention to the matter, because some owners of-brood mares in happy ignorance, breed to a combination of trouble, perhaps resulting in a champion and perhaps a bleeder not worth the proverbial row of pins for racing purposes. TROTTING. FIXTURES. May 4.—Cambridge T.C May 4.—Oamaru J.C. (two events), ■ May B, 11.—Forbtiry Park T.C, May 18.—Oamaru T.C. June 1 3.—Hawke's Bay T.C. June 1, 3.—Canterbury Park T.C. June 4.—Ashburton, T.C. June 22, 24.—Auckland T.C. By Sentinel. Acceptances for Forbury Park are due on Friday, A payment for the New Zealand Derby is due on May 1. Nominations for. the Oamaru Trotting Club’s meeting are due on May 6. Wrackler lost ground in the early stages of the Durbar Handicap at Ashburton, lost a lot more wherLShadowland fell in front of him, ami then finished close behind the placed horses. Next season (says an exchange) the Wrack pacer will do big things over two miles. Although they are in work at Addington, Mr G. J. Barton did not nominate Tonic, _ Dalmeny, Lingfield, Elzear, Maiwhariti, or the partially-owned Young Blake at the Forbury Park meeting. According to reports from the north, Muriel de Oro has furnished into a fine type' of filly since the Christmas racing season. She showed a torrent of speed in finishing third to Wrackler and Grand Light in the New Zealand Derby, and it is certain that the best has not yet been seen of this Rey de Oro three-year-old. “ It is against all Nature’s laws to ask a standard-bred trotter to start from, a standing position,” said the American trainer, Mr Plnxico, in an interview to a Sun representative. He went on to elaborate on starting systems in other countries, that, of Germany being a particularly attractive one, all horses being on the move their respective tapes before .the signal is given to move off. The American trainer alfeo had something to say regarding our handicapping system, concluding as follows:—“ Under your handicapping rules, the faster a horse goes and the more money he wins, the less value he becomes, up to a certain point. In the States it is the other way about, and consequently there is no such thing as cheating (otherwise'' running a ‘ stumer ' The declaration of handicaps for the Forbury - Park Trotting Club’s winter meeting was eagerly awaited by trainers with’horses engaged, and in the big twomile race, the Prince of Wales Handicap, Mr T. Fogg appears to have made a good job of things. In placing Terence Dillon and Author Jinks on 4.26, or 72 yards behind, in a 4.32 class, Mr Fogg lias evidently taken into consideration (says the Press) the fact that the Forbury Park track is a small one, and that hack-markers have all the worst of argument. Both geldings have done better time than 4.26, and, though neither has been handicapped out of the race, both will find it difficult to go round the big field that is certain to start. Early favouritism will probably be accorded Athalone, who has given away time to get into the race, Jean M'Elwyn, who has previously shown good form _ at Forbury Park, and Free Advice, while there will also be early inquiries for Glideaway,, who won the Dunedin Cup off 4.32, but is now on 4.27, as against the 4.28 she was placed on at Addington. In being placed on this mark she is not badly treated. At present there ere 23 horses engaged, and if the field is reduced by 10 or 11 by the time the race comes up ■ for decision there is every prospect of a good contest. WAIKATO RACES.
