According to the sectional times reeled off in the Great Northern Guineas, it is not surprising that the place-getters showed signs of tiring at the finish. Russian Ballet was responsible for most of the pace-making. The first quarter was run in 24sec, “ three furlongs in 36sec, four in 48sec. five in 60sec and the mile in Imin 37sec—a race record. ■ Wild Chase

Wild Chase, who is galloping well at present, did not win a race last season. He was produced 12 times and finished in a place on three occasions. He was third at the Ashburton spring meeting, and then came his second in the New Zealand Cup with 8.13, when Cerne Abbas 7.10 beat him by half a length in 3min 23 3-ssec. Cuddle and Royal Chief beat him in the Canterbury Cup and at Auckland Gay Rose 7.5 and Kelly 7.13 beat him when carrying 8.13 in the A.R.C. Handicap. There was merit even in defeat, and Wild Chase should not be overlooked at Trentham.

Fearless Imp traces back to Black Swan, a line that has produced Melbourne Cup winners in Lord Cardigan and Lord Nolan, Sydney Cup winners in Lady Trenton and Dividend, a good winner of his day. Positano, the sire of the grand-dam of Fearless Imp was got by Positano, the sire of four Melbourne Cup winners and the dams of two more. The next dam was got by Trenton, who was twice placed in the Melbourne Cup. Fearless Imp was got by Heroic.
