By Sentinel. Nominations for tlie Wellington Racing Club’s autumn meeting are due to-day. t Nominations for the Waimate Clubs jubilee meeting are due to-morrow. Intrepid, a winner in New South Wales this mouth, is a three-year-old By Weathervane , from Historiette. He registered a useful performance, and may be a fan’ stake earner. Weatherbound, also a three-year-old by Weathervane, from Bonana, finished fifth in the same event. A Sydney report states that the Paper Money—Piquant two-year-old Dollar Princess should have opened her winning account at Menangle. The winner, Herolage (by Heroic), laid over on her over the last furlong and she was beaten by a narrow margin. Dollar Princess carries the Phar Lap colours. Sailor’s Love, a three-year-old filly by The Act from Sailor’s Hope, consequently a sister to Waterline, made her first public appearance in the Trial Stakes at Riccarton on Saturday. She closely resembles her relative in build and action. Some Toff and Charmaine are the ruling favourites for the big race at Gore. Francolin won her two races at Wingatui very easily and if she goes to the post for the Longford Handicap at Gore she is sure to be one of the favourites. Shipshape’s form on the first day of the Dunedin Jockey Club’s meeting makes him loojk nicely placed in the High-weight Handicap at Gore. When Miss Myrtle won the Approved Stakes, six and three-quarter furlongs, at the Rosebury meeting, New South Wales, recently, she ran the distance in Imm 26sec and established a course. record. Miss Myrtle was formerly tarined at Ellerslie by J. M. Buchanan and is an aged mare by Catmint ■ from Whitford Belle. ' , Sub-editor ran two good races at the Rotorua-meeting, finishing second to Valcuir on the first day. while he won the Ohinemutu Hack Cup in good style. _ Subeditor has gone into Jv T. Jamiesons stable, and be should again get some stake money very shortly. -, / 1 After his easy win in the. Tirau Hurdles at Matamata Monetize will be in demand for his hurdle engagements at le Aroha. This novice jumped with plenty of confidence throughout his race at Matamata, but the fences were not over solid, and he will find it harder to negotiate them on the Te Aroha course. However,- he has a handy impost and can be I relied bn to put up a good showing. The form shown by Mosque at the i akapuna and Rotorua meetings has been below expectations and he will have to irnprove to reach the winning list in tfie future (says the Auckland Star) • ihc Te Eapa trained gelding figures in the Herries Memorial Cup, one mile and three furlongs, at Te Aroha meeting, in which he is nicely handicapped at Alosque won this event two seasons ago, hut the distance on that occasion was one mile anf a-quarter. However, the extra furlong should not seriously trouble him, for he is now well seasoned. Valuation is again among the track workers under A. Tinker’s cliarge at Te Rapa. The Valkynan gelding, who won three events from nine starts last season, made his last appearance in public at the Avondale meeting in the autumn, when he ran unplaced. \ aluation, while not always consistent, showed a lot ot speed in his races. He may stay on js now at the head of New Zealand and Australian stake winners and is actually tenth on the worlds list of winners.
