By Sentinel

A Promising Pacer ' ', Prince Charles, is a promising pacer irt A. M'Lellan’s stable. He is engaged at Winton this week. , Due for a Win Walter Gay is due for a win at any time now, and may be prominent at the Winton meeting this week. T. Wallis’s Team T. Wallis is busy supervising the preparation of Just Shandi, John Desborough and two other pacers. The two first-mentioned look well. Race for Three-year-olds It is reported that the Winton Trotting Club will consider the inclusion of a three-year-old race on its next season’s programme. Suited by Conditions War Buoy’s owner was practically made a gift of the winning stake for the Paparua Handicap at Addington, for half the field was withdrawn and none of the other half could handle the going, which was very bad indeed. Great Admiral and Red Flier were two others who were given an overwhelming advantage by the conditions, and both won under their own rules. Challenge Cup Winner Horsepower is a sturdy chestnut gelding by Jack Potts from Free Advice, a great pacer by Blue Mountain King from Intaglio, by Logan Pointer —Cameos (dam of Onyx), by Galindo —Thelma. Horsepower is owned byMr G. Rosenbaum who bought Free Advice at the conclusion of her racing career from Mr G. J. Barton. It is rumoured that £IOOO was offered for Horsepower. Deaths of Horses Deaths of the following horses were reported recently:—Accras, Audubon Belle, Betty Zane, Electioneer Child, Goldfield, Kraal, Plain Bill, Silver Berry, Silver Dillon, and Young Weary. Licence Recalled The Waikato Trotting Club reported to the last meeting of the New Zealand Trotting Association that L. A. Laver had been fined £7 10s for insulting behaviour towards some of the stewards. The board decided to endorse the action of- the club, to recall Laver's licence, and to award him a conditional one.

Barrier Manners Not Good Ma Waro, from J. Henderson’s stable, is proving rather expensive to many of his admirers, and while lie is gifted with speed and stamina his barrier manners leave much to be desired. He again made a mistake in the Pioneer Handicap at Addington on Saturday. Timaru Nursery Stakes Sixteen sires are represented in the Timaru Nursery Stakes, to be run at the Trotting Club’s meeting next month. Those with more than one of their progeny in the list are Jack Potts 5 Man-o’-War 4. Truman Direct 4, Frank Worthy 3. Travis Axworthy 3. and Great Bingen 2.
