TROTTING

By Sentinel. The interest in the New Zealand Trotting Cup meeting will liven up ,after the declaration of acceptances to-day. Todd Lonzia has been getting through good useful work for the Addington meeting. It is reported that R. B. Berry will hold the lines over Harold Logan in the Trotting Cup. • The turnover at the Wellington Cup Trial meeting last year was £14,900, as compared with £12,145 10s this year. Red Shadow was finishing on at the right end of his race in Wellington and is apparently just about right for being hitched up for the Trotting Cup. A payment for the New Zealand Trotting Cup and acceptances for the first day’s card at Addington are due to-day. The well-bred Una Dillon (Harold Dillon —Theda Bara), dam of the smart two-year-old Truman Direct colt in training at Addington, has produced a filly to Truman Direct and will visit him again. Yankee Land, who won at the Akaroa meeting, is a four-year-old gelding by Rey de Oro from Evolution, and owned by Mr L. lies. Yankee Land raced without success at the Geraldine and Timaru meetings. Bonny Logan has had an unfortunate stud career to date. Two seasons ago she foaled dead twins to Rey de Oro, while on Wednesday she foaled to Grattan Loyal, but the foal died shortly afterwards. Bonny Logan has been booked to Frank. Worthy. A resolution to admit ladies free of charge to the forthcoming fixture of the Winton Trotting Club was lost by one vote at the committee meeting the other evening (says the Winton Record). At the same meeting it was decided to give away £IOOO in stake money, the principal event, the'Winton Trotting Club Handicap, will be worth £250, and a trophy valued at £25.

Mr E. X. Lelievre’s five-year-old mare by Peter Bingen from Unique recently produced at the Waikaura stud, Oamaru, a colt to Travis Axworthy and she will visit Guy Parrish. Mr Lelievre placed this mare' in training (two seasons ago, but she met with an accident and was retired to the stud. Her breeding is of great interest, as not only is she by the champion New Zealand performer Peter Bingen, but her dam, Unique, imported, was sired by Day Star from Rarity by Etawah, thus being bred on the same lines ns the two-minute performer Star Etawah.

The crack three-year-old pacer Chancellor, whose form at Epsom (says “ Abydos ”) was ' equal to anything ever done here by a horse of his age, is a triumph for the fusion of Peterwah and Gold Bell blood. His dam Black Gold, by Gold Bell—Lady S, is a full sister to Gold Jacket, who, during a very successful racing career, won the Auckland Trotting Cup. the Thames Cup, a Hawera Cup. and New Zealand Cup Trial at Wellington. Black Gold was at one time trained by J. Lynch, who won two Auckland Cups with Steel Bell, and she displayed all the speeding of her relative, but owing to leg infirmity did not stand up to training. Peterwah, sire of the Great Northern Derby favourite, was bred in America, being by Etawah from Janova, and was imported to New Zealand as a youngster. He won many good races for Mr R. C. Fisken, of Gisborne, and has proved useful at the stud. Enawah, who

is the best of the Peterwahs, is bred on similar lines to Chancellor, her dam being the well-performed mare Ena Bell, by Gold Bell. Chancellor’s future appears very bright, and with a bit more age bids fair to lower the 2.10 and 4,21 records of Enawah.
