Cork and M. McCarten, were fined £5 for disobedience at the post. On Big Lines Mr P. Miller’s contribution to the Sydney bloodstock sales was 49 colts and 51 fillies. He breeds on big lines and has six stallions at his stud. A Real Day They make a reel day of racing in th Philippine Islands, where they race every Sunday, starting early in the morning and getting off 25 to 38 races. Pasch

Pasch, the winner of the Two Thousand Guineas and third to Bois Roussel and Scottish Union in the Derby of 1938, died recently after an operation for throat trouble. Trentham Form Trentham form worked out remarkably well at Easter. Prominent horses at ■ Wellington were Kathbella, Nightbeam. Yogi, Amigo, Sir Crusoe, Areas, Density and Duncannon. The form at Wellington headquarters (says “The Watcher ”) has always been the best to follow at subsequent fixtures. Appeal Lost R. W. Skelton lost his appeal to fhe Australian Jockey Club against his disqualification for 12 months in connection with the running of the marc Polly Pan. He has announced his intention to quit racing for good. At the time of the disqualification Skelton had 26 horses in training, and about 17 horses spelling. Force of Habit The official clerk of the scales did not arrive at a bush meeting in time to weigh out the riders for the first race, and a member of the committee volunfor the job. While the race was being run the official clerk of scales arrived, and he was bn hand to weigh in the riders. He found that every one of them was short weight. On being interrogated as to the reason for having weighed them out light, the volunteer clerk murmured: “ Gosh, I must have forgotten myself and thought I was at home." He was the local butcher. Master Hotspur The' Ringmaster horse Master Hotspur which has beeh purchased J?y.Mr Patterson., was a■; particularly* bru4ant two-year-old which ' won; the John Grige Stakes and Dunedin Champagne Stakes. He, was a long, striding coll and a tendency to get unbalanced when jumping off' , him from scoring’ more -wins -in ■ his first season. He only appeared twice this season and showed a retention of pace, but was not in. condition to run out a race. Master Hotspur belongs to one of the most successful families in the Stud Book. His dam Impetuous was: got by Limond from Pennon, from . a mare by Eulogy, the tap root of a long list of brilliant winners. Barrier Offences Considering that fines for jockeys who start from wrong barrier positions are not severe enough, the committee of the Victorian Trainers’ Association intends to ask the V.R.C. to take more drastic action. At Caulfield recently two jockeys were fined £5 each for having started from their wrong barrier positions. Many racing men take the view that it is well worth the risk of a small fine if by moving 'closer to the rails a jockey improves his mount’s chance. But the riders who do so do not run the risk of only a small fine. The stewards may even decide on suspension, as they did one time with W. Duncan when he was at the top of the tree. The punishment meted out for offences of this kind (says the Argus), depends entirely on the circumstances, but any rider who thinks he can take liberties at the barrier would be well advised to change his views. High Jumping But for the failure of the light, the ground record of 7ft 6in might have been beaten in the “ Osram ” open high jump. .This is one of the most successful events, says the Sydney Herald in reference to the Sydney Show, of the afternoon. Many people remained late in the stands to see the five finalists attempt seven feet three inches. Twenty-nine horses contested the event, including Ben Bolt, who atßen-

digo in 1938, lied with Silverwood at 7ft lOin, and Lookout, who at Tamworth this year was credited with 7ft lOin. Silverwood, also a competitor, jumped 7ft lOJin at Inglewood, Queensland, this year. Fourteen horses cleared 6ft 6in, but when the bar was raised to 7ft, nine of them found the going , too hard. The five finalists were Lookout, Plain Bill. Ben Bolt. All Fours and Silverwood. Lookout failed at 7ft 3in. and then Plain Bill cleared the bar but dislqdged his rider. Charlie Perry, who slightly sprained his ankle and jarred his foot. While Perry was receiving medical aid J. McGee, on Ben Bolt, cleared the bar with a magnificent leap. As All Fours and Silverwood failed. Perry and McGee agreed to divide the £3O prize rather than risk their horses in the failing light. Both Plain Bill and Ben Bolt were jumping so easily that the Showground record appeared definitely in danger. Lucky Deal

The story is worth repeating of Mr W. R. KembalTs luck with Amiable, the Australian mile record holder. Mr F. B. Melton desired to lease a yearling colt named Sunnymorn, but Mr Kemball refused and Mr Melton was given a filly. When the youngster, by then named Amiable, was about ready to race, she became lame. A veterinary report was discouraging, and as thclease had not been lodged with the Victoria Racing Club, Amiable was returned to her owner, W. Hawthorne, one of Mr Kemball’s trainers, took her in hand and within a few weeks the filly ran second at Caulfield. In a little over two years she has collected more than £6OOO in stakes and she has conauered High Caste and Ajax. An English Owner Mr John Peter Hornung, owner and breeder and a member of the Jockey Club, died at his home in Sussex last month. He was 79 years old. As a young man, Mr Hornung went to Portuguese East Africa, where he was a pioneer of the sugar industry. He acquired large interests there and in Portugal. Racing, particularly the breeding side of it. was one of his greatest interests. He bought the Derby winner Papyrus for stud at a figure said to be £35,000. Among the horses to carry his colours with distinction were Bucellas (Jockey Club Cup), Nippon (Ascot Derby and Jockey CluD Cup), Copyright (Ascot Gold Vase), Apple Sammy. Dubonnett. and Pegasus. Starter’s Troubles

The fine imposed on Mr C. Gieselev by the Riverton Racing Club’s committee for making a snap start at the recent»meeting has naturaly aroused considerable attention in racing circles. The Rules of Racing make it compulsory for a starter to make a flat foot start and that official instruction is final and conclusive, but castiron law on such matters seems to betray a lack of knowledge of the difficulties of starting. It is quite true that some starters such as Mr P. D. McNab. invariably succeed in getting the fields away from a flat foot start, but if a field is in anything like a fair line and bn the move the starter would have power to make a start. The danger of a snap start is that a horse may “slip the field,” but the greatest danger than can occur in starting is the surprise start which happens when the starter and me riders hold different ideas about when the start will take Place. It must be said on Mr Gieseler’s behalf that he had to control fields with horses with apprentices largely in evidence and in the start for which he was fined did no doubt what he considered the, best work under the circumstances provided he had warned the riders that he would send them off as they came to the barrier. If Mr Gieseler's work at Riverton was open to criticism it was certainly due to unwarranted leniency to such as Orytx, who was alIdwedfi.to hold up a start. The majority Ijari'd not the individual or a small minority should be the primary consideration-, and if a field of 10 or 12 can be got, flat foot whilst one _or turn others decline ..to. come in hue then the starter shoqld. ppt;. have the si’ghlest compunction in leaving them and the stewards should certainly support the starter in such cases. A starter should not hold up a field for one or two horses that are lucky to escape being on the schooling list. Every starter should know by personal knowledge or reputation any horse likely to give trouble at the post, and they should not under any circumstances brt flowed even to attempt to_ line up wi’-n the rest of the field. It is the invariable custom of starters tp allow notoriously bad and fractious horses to make one attempt to come in line with the rest of the field, and in doing so they start trouble and make, a rod for their own backs. It sometimes really appears as if starters are really a train .to use the power granted, and rightly granted, under the rules because a fractious horse is owned by an owner wielding considerable influence in tne affairs of racing. It is either that or some starters are too slow thinking to realise what makes a difficult position far more difficult than what should bo the case. Beau Vite

The likelihood that Beau Vitc will again be among the New Zealand representatives in the Melbourne Cup this year in view of his brilliant form in the Dominion since returning from Australia is one of the most discussed projects of next season’s racing. In his two-year-old career, when he ran 11 times. Beau Vite was overshadowed by Beaulivre, although he beat the latter in the North Island Challenge Stakes. Beau Vite won in addition two other events at Trentham and completed his autumn campaign by being runner-up to Beaulivre in the Champagne Stakes and Challenge Stakes at Riccarton. His total winnings were £l3lO. Very early in his three-year-old season, Beau Vite was in action in Australia. He was unplaced in the Hobartville Stakes, but won at his next start, the Canterbury Stakes, from Gold Rod. Defaulter beat him by a head only in the Chelmsford Stakes, but m the Clarendon Stakes he beat Reading and High Caste, who subsequently outstayed him in the Derbies. Beau Vite was second to High Caste in the Craven Plate, but in four subsequent starts, in Victoria, was unsuccessful. He contested 10 races in Australia, winning two and earning £llOO in stakes. On his return to New Zealand, Beau Vite showed marked improvement in stamina by winning the Great Northera Derby and Clifford Plate from Beaulivre. A meritorious second in the Wellington Centennial Cup was followed by a victory in the Summer Cup at Trentham Both St. Legers have now -fallen to him, as well as the Taranaki Stakes. Beau Vite is easily the best to date of the progeny of

Dominant, a daughter ol Martian and Lovelorn, a full-sister to Nones, Menelaus Left, Lovematch, and others. Left is the dam of Peter Jackson, Game Carrington, and Wotan. Lovematch produced Moterc and Liaison, dam of the Wellington Centennial Cup winner. Old Bill. TROTTING NOTES By Sentinel FIXTURES April 6.—Thames T.C. April 6.—Ashburton T.C. April 13.— Cambridge T.C. April 17, 20.—Wellington T.C. April 27.—Auckland T.C. April 27.—Westland T.C. Oamaru Juvenile Stakes Nominations are due to-day for the Oamaru Juvenile Stakes. Retired It is reported that Lucky Jack ran his last race in the Free-for-AII at Addington, and will go t 0 the stud next season. The Crowd Is is possible that the ordinary rank and file of spectators can see more in a race and deeper into form or lack of it than the officials? A hostile demonstration took place after a race on the final day at Addington, but apparently the officials saw nothing wrong, as no report of an inquiry appeared. Inquiries An inquiry was held into the running of Aldershot, winner of the Trial Handicap at Addington, as compared with that of the first day. After hearing evidence, the explanation of the trainer was considered satisfactory. An inquiry was'also held into the performance of Privateer in the same race. The owner’s explanation was accepted as satisfactory. Warning The outstanding improving pacer at the Taranaki and Hawera trotting meetings was Warning, a four-year-old son of Prank Worthy and Cammie. He is owned by Mr S. Thompson, and trained at Ashburton by L. A. Maidens, who has had marked success since reentering the ranks of trainers this season. Prior to the Taranaki meeting, where he was successful in the Fitzroy Handicap in 2min 53 4-ssec off 3min ssec, and in the'Moturoa Handicap, in 3min 27 3-ssec off 3min 40sec, Warning was an unknown quantity (says “Abydos”), but the manner in which he won his races brought him into favour for the Eltha'm Handicap at Hawera on Saturday, which he won in 3min 28 2-ssec off 3min 37sec. Handicapped at 3min 33sec in the Kaponga Handicap on Monday, Warning was again successful, registering 3min 23 2-ssec. Warning, .who went through the meetings with an undefeated tecord, earned £4OO in stakes. He is a half-brother to the trotter Bournemouth. Cammie, who was a good performer, was got by Logan Pointer from Princess Sherwood, by Kerrwood, by Wildwood from Rosewood, by Blackwood Abdullah. v Under the Hammer The three-year-old Sir Julien was offered for sale by Messrs H. Matson and Co. last Friday, and was passed in at 550gns. He was later sold at an advance on this price, and while the name of the buyer has not been divulged, it is understood that the horse will go into a Canterbury stable. Other sales reported were as follows: B f, three years, by Wrack —Yenol. 27£gns; b g, two years, by Wrack— Yenot, 35gns; b m, by Frank Worthy —Yenot, 16gns; b f, two years, by Wrack—Logan Maid, 65gns; b g, by Great Bingen—Princess Napoleon, 9£gns; bg, three years, ,by Great Bingen—Princess Napoleon, 17Jgns; Ratepayer, by Great Bingen—Nyallo, 26gns; All Great, by’ Great Bingen—Great Actress, B£gns; b f, four years, by Wrack —Homer, 6gns; b g, by Truman Direct—Spinster, sgns; King’s Navy, b g by.

RACING IN AUSTRALIA AJAX WINS CROPPER PLATE BEAULIVRE FINISHES THIRD MOSAIC DEFEATS MAIKAI (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegrahp—Copyright) SYDNEY, Mar. 31. (Received Mar, 31, at 7 p.m.) By winning the Cropper Plate at Randwick on Saturday. Ajax carried his winnings to £38,025. which is only £37 10s behind that of his great sire, Heroic. There is provision in the will of his late part owner, Mr Baillieu. that he should be sold when his racing career is finished, and it has been arranged that Ajax should be sold next month. His present owners, however, are inclined to give him another year’s racing as he is still very fit and a popular favourite with racing folk. He will be spelled for a few months. Beaulivre shot his bolt in the Cropper Plate at the home turn. Mosaic surprisingly defeated the mighty Maikai in the A.J.C. Plate (two miles and a-quarter), finishing with great dash, but he showed signs of lameness when eased up. Royal Chief finished on gamely in third place. Yours Truly was only a moderate performer in the Dangar Handicap. The course was in good order, and the heat was again very trying for the public and horses. The attendance at Randwick for the whole meeting was much below that of the last year, but the totalisator figures were £190,503, being only £2OOO lower for the four days. Following are the results:— ROUS HANDICAP, Of £7OO. Six furlongs.
