By Sentinel ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT R. V. S., Palmertson.— Kindergarten was taken to Australia in 1941. and returned the same year. He was foaled a# Gisborne.

If in condition to reproduce his best form. Invulnerable should shape well in his engagement at Gore. The three-year-old gelding Plutocrat shapes well on the track. He failed to show up in his first race, but may benefit by the experience.Listen In has displayed speed, but seven furlongs appears to be just too far for her. She is engaged over less ground at Gore..

Lish’een, who is engaged in the Novice Handicap at Gore, began smartly in his race at Timaru. Smartness off the mark is an asset in a big field. First In scored a comfortable win at Geraldine, and the well-performed Tring only beat her by a head in the Tally-Ho Handicap at Wingatui. The shorter distance at Gore may be more in her favour Two horses engaged at Gore who spoilt their chances at Timaru by running wide are Prize Ring and Lyndal. Both may do better at Gore, where the straight is on the narrow side.

Gigli, the winner of the Wellesley Stakes, was making his third appearance when he won. He Is a bay colt by, Defoe from Haughty Totl, by Robespierre—Toti dal Monte, by Gay Lad —Trebelli 11, by Thrust. Amorlad struck going to suit him at Trentham and followed his success at Timaru with a more important win. On his best form Amorlad has been well treated, but a doubt about his soundness sent him out of favour. The Dunedin Cup, of £IOOO and a gold cup valued at £IOO, will form an attractive feature of the holiday meetings to be held at Wingatui. Waikouaiti, Wyndham, and Invercargill. Another gold cup valued at £IOO goes with the James Hazlett Memorial. It is somewhat rare to find two valuable trophies on the same programme. : Bridge Acre, the winner of the Wellington Guineas, won twice as a two-year-old and was also five times placed In 10 starts.

Acre, by Acre—Ladv Low, by Lucullus—Persis, by Marble Arch—Latona, by Phoebus Apollo—Antelope, by Apremont—Miss Kate, and so belongs to the same family as the famous Phar Lap. Albino's record this season is a second, a third, and three consecutive wins. Albino was got by Te Monanui, a high-class performer in his day, but very few of his stock have been winners. Albino is a well-bred gelding on his dam’s side as he traces . to the Idalia taproot. Maharajah, who is engaged at Gore, has not won since he scored in the Champion Hack Handicap at Levin on November 24 of last season. He was placed five times last season and his best form was shown at Riccarton in a third to Gamble and Voltaire over a mile and a-quarter in 2min 6 4-ssec. After his race at Timaru Kiloney showed signs of bleeding, and the prospects of a win at Trentham did not look bright. He was taken to Trentham, however, and the reward was a good stake and a substantial dividend. Kiloney was got by Kinnoull, a high-class performer who has not so far been a stud success. Miss Attorney was got by Last Dart— Lady Skirl, by Kilbroney—Skirl, by Martian. Mr F. J. Fay, the owner of Kiloney. also owns Amicus. Since running second to Gulf Stream in the Winter Cup Sal’s 'Pal has finished fourth in the Islington Handicap at Riccarton, third in the Tally Ho Handicap at the Otago Hunt meeting, and fourth in the Ranfurly Handicap at the D.J.C. spring meeting, in which Tring, Kevin, and Doubleack beat him. Tring and First In beating Sal’s Pal in the Tally Ho Handicap, Kevin, Arabian Night and Foxleap in the Islington Handicap, and Gulf Stream in the Winter Cup. Sal’s Pa] reads as sure to start favourite for the President’s Handicap at Gore. The stable has also Good Cast engaged and he would be dangerous if fancied.
