TALK OF THE DAY.

By Sentinel.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Bex Avon.—All Red carried 9.1. The weigtbte in the New Zealand Cup were—All Red 9.4, Zimmerman 8.13. North Otago Sport.—The horse named did not start. His record for wins are 2.3 S 2-5, 4.5 1-5, and 5.17. THE DUNEDIN CUP MEETING. On Friday of this week, nominations are due for the Doinedin Cup meeting, which falls on February 23, 24, and 26. The programme contains several wellendowed events, and collectively forms the richest prize list ever given in connection with a meeting held on the Wingatui racecourse. It is gratifying to note the progress made by the Dunedin Jockey Club during recent years, and it only requires the further co-operation of owners to obtain liberal additions to their already attractive prize-list. This year the Cup carries a sGQsovs stake, and other events to be decided are as follows: Anniversary Handicap of 250sovs, one mile; D. J. C. Handicap of 350eovs, one mile and a-quarter; Publican's Handicap of 250&0v5, six furlongs; Domain Handicap of ISOsovs, sis furlongs ; the Wingatui Handicap of 150sovs,« seven furlongs; ;&nd the Flying Handicap of 15Gsovs, five furlongs. In common with the season's programme for the Wingatui meetings, none of the events carry less than lOOsovs in prize-money. Handicaps for the first day are due on Monday, February 7, and acceptances are due on Friday, February 11. On the, latter date, nominations are also due for the Trial Plate.

THE GORE MEETING. The Gore Racing Club have every reason to feel gratified with the result of their summer meeting, for • which they issued an unusually attractive programme. The various events may not have attracted as many horses from a distance as might have been expected, but there is no doubt the prize-list created a good deal of talk amongst racing men, and the Gore meetings are likely to be looked upon with more favour in the future. Consequently, the meeting may be said to b e a good advertisement for future meetings on the course. The fields seen out last week were numerically pleasing, although by no means bulky in numbers. Still they dr§w mast of the available horses in Southland, and if one or two drawbacks in connection with the meeting are straightened out, visitors would nominate with more confidence in the future. For the first, time in its history, the Gore Cun had -a .stake of 2000sovs, and the result was a widespread interest, which culminated in a record investment on the totalisator. Oiyoi was made a pronounced favourite with both the books and the machine, eliwht Waiju ranked as second choice, and then came Warsaw and Office Girl, in tho order named. Oiyoi swung rophd a, bit at the rise of the barrier, and lost about four lengths, but, he quickly joined his field, and was handy to the leaders before going half a mile. He did not appear to be getting thp best of passages, but he drew Put and looked like having a very' easy win as the field were turning for home. At thie, however, Astrakhan

put in a run which caused him to momentarily head the favourite, but the latter, when shaken up, drew out to win by a neck. Waiju finished third, and up to a mile looked the only horse likely to trouble the favourite. He, however, lost his position when going along the back and that probably cost him a few lengths. Warsaw put up a poor display, and was apparently well beaten at a mile, a fact which was somewhat contradictory to previous form, when he has been noted as a .good finisher and inclined to come on at the end of his races. Red-and-Black put up 51b over to obtain the services of G. "J. Pine, but after galloping with a good deal of dash over the first few furlongs he collapsed, and dropped back. Giyoi was sent up 101 b for the second day, whilst Waiju went up 31b and Office Girl lib, and Warsaw carried the same weight as on the previous ,day. Punters had no hesitation In .making Oiyoi favourite, and he was again sent out an odds on chance. He got a much better passage than in the Gore Cup, and, if anything, won more easily than on the .first day, as Yarr merely allowed him to stride along, and did not display an uneasiness when Waiju put in a final effort in the runup the,straight. Office Girl tried to win from end to end, but she was done with before going a mile, although ;she beat all the others. Warsaw again put up a poor display, and another disappointment was Pinul, who is proving a dear horse at the price which Mr L. C. Hazlett paid for him. The chief sprint events on the programme were started off by the Summer Handicap, from, -which Lupulite, Busyland, and Bed Morn were withdrawn. Balaclava was made a strong favourite, but he never got into the danger zone. My Lawyer was smartest to begin, and San Severo .also .got well away. L. G. King on the latter was, however, content to drop in behind the leader until a couple of furlongs from home, when he moved u/p. At this stage Obsono was also bandy to the leaders, and the field was running in fairly close order, but Mr M'Bride's horse niet with some mishap or other and dropped back five or six lengths. San Severo drew out before reaching the straight and then came away to win comfortably by a good two lengths. The winner was one of the outsiders of the field and paid a fairly good dividend. The first days card was concluded with the Croydon Handicap, of seven furlongs, and this Cute landed -easily, although; it appeared that one of those in pursuit was not too strenuously handled. On the second day the President's Handicap, of lQQsovs, four furlongs, which is usually a poprdar race with ; owners, on this occasion only attracted a field of five. It was, however, an excellent Tace to look at, and was climaxed by a sfood finish. Lupulite was made a solid favourite and after going a stride of two took up the running and led into th» straight, where he was closely attended by Octave. Once in line for home Cute came with a good run and, catching the leaders inside the distance, went on to win all out by half a length. Octave finished a good third, and My Lawyer and Officious were both close up to the placed horses. The card was concluded with the BorougTi Handicap, in which seven faced the barrier. The race, however, was Tobbed„of interest at the outset owing to Obsono getting such a break on the others that they practically had no chance of catc'hiasr him. Prior to the actual start A. M'Kay on Obsono was obviously playing for a break and twice was responsible for bursting through the tapes. He finally achieved his object with such success that pt, the end of a furlong- he must have been close on a dozen lengths clear of the others. Turning for home, Balaclava had made up a good bit of ground, but Obsono was kept going and he .finally defeated the Oamaru horse by about 5 lengths. Eous was third,, about 6 lengths behind the second horse, so it will be seen that there were ample margins between the placed lot, a fact which, of course, was -principally due to the unsatisfactory start. Balaclava was rlearly the greatest sufferer, as there is not much doubt he would have been returned the winner if the field had got away on even terms. As far as the financial .returns are concerned, the results were very satisfactorv. The totalizator returns amounted to £9859, or £1739 in excess of last year, and bookmakers' fees amounted to £334. THE TROTTING EVENTS AT GORE. The programme of the Gore Racing Club contained four well-endowed trotting events, well worth winning, as in addition to a good stake there is generally a fair market amongst the bookmakers who attend the course. Consequently, it is a wonder these events do not attract more patronage from northern owners. At last •week's meeting the New Year Trot, of lOOsovs. 5.30 class, was the first event r>r> the list, and it attracted a field of 16. Repeater was made a pronounced r avourite. and next in demand came Woodroof and Belle Childe. The winner -"nrned up in a rank outsider, in The Surgeon, Woodroff finished leeond. pnd General AbrSallah third, whilst the favourite, Repeater, was never miite in t ,T, e danger zone. and finished fourth. Repeater showed pace in patches; or rather, one would say, •nossibilities of pace, but he broke three or four times when getting close to the • leaders, whilst the second choice, Eelle Childe, never looked to have a winning chance. The Electric Trot, of 75sovs, one mile (2.45 class), came next, and for this the pony, Lady Owyhee, was made favourite. The favourite was lying third for about half a mile, but Bloemfontem was not long in getting to the front, and appeared to win with something in hand jn 2min. 28 3-ssec. He had the services G f A. Prinele, and it was easilv noticeable that the horse went much better than with his usual pilot—in 'fact, the difference was so marked in comparison ! i& ;c#cent form, that it is quite evident j

all who wear pants and boots are not horsemen. Tilson's stable supplied both the third and fourth in Silver Black and Evening Star. On the second day 15 faced the starter in the Progressive Trot, of 90sovs (4.10 class), and despite his poor showing on the first day, Repeater was made a good favourite, whilst Belle Childe, another who ran badly on the second day, was made a fairly good second favourite. The punters evidently regarded the race as being a duel, as the others, with the exception of Musician, were accorded only a modest support. At the word go Repeater quickly stepped past those in front of him in the handicap, and after going less than a quarter, Pringle was turning in the saddle and looking back to see how the opposition were getting on. In contrast to the first day's form, Bepeater even with Pringle shifting in the saddle, made no mistakes, and it was evident that the opposition had no chance. The favourite had traversed less than six furlongs when the owner of the second horse realised the situation and indulged in language not usually heard on a Lawn. Then before Bepeater got into the straight he ran to the front of the stewards' stand and drew pointed attention to Repeater's change of form. Repeater jogged home in easy "winner, but despite the fact of him being favourite a section of the public did not relish the victory, and voiced their disapproval. The owner of the second horse, promptly entered a protest on the grounds of inconsistent running, which, after consideration lasting about three-quarters of an hour, | was dismissed. The writer has no knowj ledge of what evidence was given in ex- ! planation of the winner's change of form, I but evidently the stewards were satisfied, I although, on what appeared to be a quesI tion of eyesight, it took them some time i to record the fact. Apart from that it ! must be said that very little sympathy ' was held for the owner of the second j horse, whose form was generally oon'sidered as inconsistent as that of the j winner. None of the others had a ghost J of a chance, and Hindoo, wdio finished third, was just inside a furlong from home when the winner jogged past the post. The Telegraph Trot, of 70&ovs, one mile, attracted a field of eight, and of these Lucy Billon was made a good | favourite, and then Regina Bell and Wild i Bill came next in demand. Lucy Dillon [ stepped off well, but Regina Bell, who ' was conceding 5 seconds, showed a good turn of foot, and- racing past, looked like giving the others the good-bye act. She, however, commenced to tire before reaching the straight, and Lucy Billon again drew up and finaJlv won by about 4 lengths. Wild Bill exhibited a, bit of his old dash, and had run into third place before going 6 furlongs, but he broke and lost a chance of getting at least third place, which went to Sir Lex. Reginai Bell is only a three-year-old, and had to carry Tilson, oho rides a heavy mount when he gets in the saddle. Wild Bill appeared to get away before his time, or else the clock allowed him the 5 seconds recorded in the handicap instead, of putting him on scratch, which was actually the case. Li any ca.se, he was half a dozen lengths in front of the post when his bell sounded, and apparently he had every chaince of putting up a good go without a great chance of getting the stakes. STARTING IN THE SOUTH. At the recent meeting of the Southland Racing Club, the starting was not so good as might be reasonably expected in these up-to-date days, and last week there was considerable room for improvement in some of the dispatches effected at Gore. At the latter place Fulmar and Obsono were practically winners of their races as soon as the barrier rose, owing to the great advantage the riders of those horses stole at the out-set. It is nice to be on ■such horses when they are sailing along well out from their opponents and nothing short of a fall appears to block the way to success, .but it must make the other owners, who are not so fortunate, feel a bit sour when their chance gets killed at the word go. The trouble appears to tie in the fact that the starters do not use sufficient firmness with some of the riders, and it only requires a continuation of the existing supineness to see starting go back to the quality we had when *fc was a common occurrence to have long and vexatious delays at the post. Further than that, if the present leniency is continued, all the riders in a race will be playing for a break at f"N start, and then chaos. No one will d*.i*/ the starting is faulty, and, by way of assisting to make a remedy, the writer suggests that a small stand should be erected at each of the starting poets (similar to these in use on other courses) at Invercargill and Gore. At present the starters stand on the ground, and under those conditions it is "difficult to keep an on all the horses at the post, whereas a slight elevation enables the starter to take in his field at a glance. To b 9 candid and give friendly advice on the matter, it is clear from what one hears that unless an improvement is effected we will find owners losing confidence and inclined to fight shy of some of our meetings. As one owner remarked to the writer, "We can't back our horses under those conditions," and that is the case in a nutshell. The starter has power to fine up to Esovs but some of the recent happenings merit a carpeting from the stewards, and, if that failed, —well, a little holiday frequently effects a cure when a small financial punishment misses the mark. ESTABLISHING A CIRCUIT. Qn more than one occasion the writer has drawn attention to the fact that a splendid little circuit of racing could be established between the Dunedin summer meeting and those which follow it at Invercargill and Gore. The excellent attendance at the InveEoargill and Gore meetings this year substantiate the contention, and if the 'southern clubs—par' j

ticularly the Southland Racing Club — ' woke up to the fact and put out suitable programmes, there is not much doubt there would be an excellent chance of the clubs interested being patronised by more and a better class of horses than . is the case at present. If sufficient inducement were offered, we would see fewer Canterbury horses going to the North Tshmd and West Coast, as this end of i-nt; .biand is easier of access than either of the two latter trips, and it only requires a launching out, and success should be assured. The D.J.C. gave £2050 in prize-money at their last summer meeting, and judging by the splendid success of the Southland R.C. and Gore R.C. meetings, both the southern clubs could closely approach those figures next year. The D.J.C. will no doubt further enrich their programme for next year, if all goes well in the meantime, and that would mean .orobably over 6000sovs being hung up between December 26 and the middle of January. . In addition to this, there is the Wyndham and Wairio meetings to be considered, as both those clubs give stakes well worth winning. The circuit of meetings lies on the main line, and. if the clubs worked hi the direction indicated, and did not keep the matter a secret, it would give racing in Otago and Southland a great boost. THE FORBURY PARK MEETING. Nothing succeeds like success, and, emboldened by the •xcellent results of their initial meeting on their .new track, the Forbury Park Trotting Club are Again out with -a richly endowed programme. It has been decided to give 1550sovs in prize-money for the autumn meeting, to be held on Friday and Wednesday, February 25 and March 2, and the chief events are as follows :—Dunedin Cup Handicap (harness), of 250sovs, two miles (smin class); Kensington Handicap (saddle), of 120sovs, two miles (5.10 class); Otago Handicap (optional), of 115sovs, two and a-half miles (6.45 class, for trotters only); Forbury Handicap (harness), of 175sovs, two miles (s.omin class); Telegraph Handicap (saddle), of 120sovs, two miles (5.10 class), and Crescent Handicap (optional), of 115sovs, two and a-half miles (6.45 class, for trotters only). Two 90sovs stakes go for a 3.10 or better class, and two BOsovs stakes go for a 2.35 or better class. There is the Trial Handicap, of 75soys, 4.15 or better class, and the Progressive Handicap, of 70sovs, 5.40 or better. In addition, there are the amateur events and pony races, and it will be seen from the programme that the club has, as usual, been endeavouring to cater for all classes of horses. The wealth of the prize-money should, in conjunction with the varied' nature of the programme, succeed in drawing a liberal response from 'owners on March 5, when nominations for all events are due. Handicaps for the first day will be published on Friday, February 11, by Mr H. Brinkman, and acceptances are due on February 16 for the first day of the meeting. , AN IMPORTANT SALE. The Allendale Stock Farm has, by valuable and judicious - importations, together with a careful selection of animals nearer home succeeded in placing the light harness horse on a higher plane than it has ever previously reached in. Australia. The proprietors of the stud have not been content to own one or two .good horses, and allow them to bear the brunt of maintaining the reputation of the farm, but on the other hand they have gathered the finest collection of horses and mares ever got together in the Australasian colonies. Even a casual glance through the farm's catalogue for the great sale to be held on March 3 -will make this fact apparent, and no better opportunity has ever been offered to persons anxious to purchase trotting stock either capable of going fast or bred on lines calculated to command speed when the latent power of young stock has been developed. A great feature of the sale is that all the horses in work will be driven to harness under the ej-es of intending purchasers •so that the .latter cam :see for themselves what class of animal they are buying, : and thus have every opportunity of getting value for their money. The catalogue ieeuad in connection -with the sale is a work of art- and l forms the finest piece of horse literature ever issued in Australasia, with the exception of the volume compiled a couple of years ago by the same people. The book furnishes undeniable evidence of the great care that has been exercised in collecting stock for the farm, and the track records of Abbey Bells' stock, Dan Patch, Marvin Wilkes, and other members of the stud prove they possess the rightcattle in reality as well as on paper. As far as Abbey Bells and 1 Marvin Wilkes are concerned, it may be said they each possess enough breeding- for two horses, and it is not strange that studmaster® have sent mares from all jmrts of Australasia to them. In all there are no fewer than 71 horses booked to go under tae hammer, and with such a lengthy list to pick from a. bargain or two is sure to be found. No doubt some of the stock will make good prices, but in such a case there is always a good chance that the highest priced horse is the greatest bar-' gain in tlie long run. There is not sufficient space at tha writer's command to detail the contents of the catalogue, but if anyone would care to see it the writer would be pleased to show the book to anyone calling at this office. RIVERTON RACING CLUB. The annual meeting of the .above was held last' week, when there wes a large attendance of members. The president (Mr A. E. Willett) occupied the chair. The report and balance sheet showed the club to be in a very satisfactory financial position. The president, in! moving the adoption of same, said it left them with assets worth £2143, and a > hank balance of £23 2s 2d, arid when all works were completed a debit of some.

£4BO. The last meeting showed a steady progress, there being an increase on every head as compared with the previous year, and the profit—£6oo—was a record one, notwithstanding the increase of stakes from £7OO to £IOOO. As members were aware, the committee purchased the freehold of the course for £2OOO, which he thought was a very wise They had looked round ar. '. could find ?;-j? more "suitable site. Since then they had effected considerable improvements. A grass training track had been laid down costing nearly £2OO, the lawn had been extended, and a parade paddock built at a cost of £273, and the grand stand lengthened at £321, which he considered would meet the demands of the public. Owing to the heavy expense this year, the committee had foregone the erection of a suit-able stewards' stand and offices. He had visited nearly every course in Southland, and he could say that they would have a course second to none. At a committee meeting held immediately after, Messrs Willett, Trotter, and M'Kay elected a committee to revise the programme for discussion at a meeting to be held on the 4th inst. It was moved as a recommendation to the eommmittee that stakes be not raised more than £2OO, which would mean £I2OO. It. was felt that another steeplechase should be added to the second day's races, and that all the races under £SO should be raised to that amount; also that the Riverton Handicap and Great Western Steeplechase should be endowed with £l5O each. THE FIGURE SYSTEM From tram® to time we read' a great deal of the value of the figure system, and it is substantiated to a large extent by results. It has, moreover, one stalwart opponent in a gentleman who, under the nom de plume of "Stud Groom," frequently tilts -a lance at the "Special Commissioner of the London Sportsman, who is easily the most prominent advocate of the system. In a recent letter published' in the paper named "Stud Groom " writes interestingly as follows: — "In my recent letters to you on the above subject, although I ploughed rather a lonely furrow in my endeavours to point out some of the weaknesses of the figure system, I was gratified with the interest the correspondence aroused amongst readers of the Sportsman. The point I wish ito draw attention to in this commu-riica-tion—viz., the apparent failure of the sire figures, will, I trust, prove of equal general interest. " Taking the loading 12 stallions in the ' Lists of Winning Sires' for the past five years—i.e., 1904-9, gives the following results:—i'

St'MMARV. —Summary.— " Non-sire families sired winners of 1274 races, value £659,964 13s. " Sire families sired winners of 426 races, value £277,515 ss. " In the first seven places only one sire family is represented—viz., No. 3, and" from its prominent position it would Seem fully entitled to retam its rank as a, sire family. Nos. 11, 8, -and 12 have sadly fallen from .grace, while No. 14 has never once got into the leading dozen during the five years under notice—indeed, in the last 20 years it has only been included in the leading 12 five times, each time by the aid of Saraband. Judgment by results in t;his case would entail an adverse verdict against Nos. 11, 8. .12, and 14. _ " It should be noted that two families in the first five' places in the above table —viz., Nos. 19 and 9, are represented by only one stallion each, Galiinule and Cyllene respectively. As a No. 9 horse heads the list of winning sires and claims the Derby, winner -of the -current season, and bearing in mind the great promise shown by ;Soliman 9 and Lesteriin 9 hefore their untimely deaths, it is interesting to note ■that the late Mr Bruce Lowe in his book wrote: ' In spite of its goodly show with five Derby, two Oaks, and six St. Leger winners, it would be a difficult task for the warmest believer in the family to point to one really high-ckss sire in its ranks.' The late Mr J. A. Doyle, in the British Thoroughbred, wrote of it: 'Avery bad sire strain.' It is only right to add that the 'Special Commissioner,' the chief living advocate of the figure system, has not been so sweeping in his condemnation of this particular family—indeed l , he wrote so long -ago as 1904 of one scion of it that ' he is just the sort of horse to improve our more or less effete bred,' and during the current seaf.on he has written most optimisticallv of the stud prospects of Dark Ronald and Diamond Stud, both No. 9 horses. " In my humble opinion, the chief weakness of the figures is their constant Jieod of revision to make them fit in with present-day results. Slavish adherence to the record of the cast is snt to breed the dangerous fallacy that because a thing has never been it never will be. From the above table it would almost seem that in breeding matters there is a continual ebb e.nd flow going on, in which case the breeder who does not mind being called a blind folcwer of fashion misrht do worse than go with the ' flowing tide.' " CLEVER BUT UNSCRUPULOUS. Prophecies of a severe winter bid fair to be realised, and already "postponed" and finally "abandoned" haa been the fate of the concluding day's sport at one meeting, the steeplechase day of which has had also to be abandoned. We have in our mind (John Corlett, in the Sporting Times), a postponement that took place some years ago, when Derby clashed with Warwick, and the story is too good not to tell. A very sharp division on the turf had a horse that had been well "readied" engaged at both places. It was merely a matter of backing the animal for it to win. The joskey who was to ride him; had done most of the "readying.". He had been having A vauy bad time of it, and reasoned within

himself that with the owner betting in "thousands" the price would be so short that there would be no chance of materially retrieving his fortunes by winning a race like this. A bright idea struck him. He saw the owner and represented that the ring was a. very poor one, and that the horse was nrmch better treated in the race at Warwick, where there would be far more betting. Owing Lo the postponement of; the Derby mesti.i - the two races clashed, and as the people were on the lookout for the animal at Derby, where he already was-, no one would think anything about him for Warwick. He suggested that the owner and his friends should go to Warwick, and he would come on later with the horse. The idea seemed such a good one that they readily approved t 5 it, and away they went to Warwick. To their consternation, on, the following day, when it was time to think about "weighing out" they could' gain no tidings of the whereabouts of the animal. Nor did they hear anything until' a. telegram arrived from Derby stating tha« he had won his engagement there, the starting price being 100 to 6! They of course had not a .shilling on, and the jockey, who has never since wanted for money, found himself on his feet again. He had had the market to himself with a vengeance. THE CLEVEREST BEATEN. It is a remarkable fact (recently wrote Mr John Corlett) that in nearly every instance in which horses have been run with a view to a big handicap coup, and the coup has been duly been brought off, prosperity has, in the long run, deserted the effeetera thereof. It used to be said of Wm. Day. that "he made handicaps his study." In the old days, when to win a great handicap was apparently to win a fortune for life, no man succeeded so frequently es Wm. Day, even to winning the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire in the same year. He had> Joe Miller when he beat the largest field 1 on record for the Chester Cup, and scored heavily with such horses as Out and Outer, Oxonian, The Judge, The Starter, and many others. He died a poor man. Nothing but? disaster attended the Martinsons, whose filly, Nancy, was one. of the greatest handicap winners ever known to the turf, and ini her day she was as popular as was Victor Wild at a later period. James Barber and Joe Saxon were leviathans in the late fifties, and indeed well into the (sixties, but the luck that had attended them with Bally, Edmond, Pretty Boy. The Clown, Defender, Queen Bess, Ben Webster, The Doctor, and Brown Duchess deserted them, and at the finish there was no one to discount their bills. They were not partners in all the horses we have named, but were in two (Of three. "Vici" Green dropped quite out, of the f 2-ont rank, as did' Wm. Hulton, bu* peßhops the most disastrous failure of alii was Robert Ridsdale. who won the Derby, with St. Giles. Wc often hcai of Mr Torn! Parr, and of the wonderful thing-" he did with Werrthergauge, Saucebox. Kildonan, Lupcllus. Fisherman. Avalanche, Dusk, Clothworker, Odd Trick. Malacca, Rataplan, Mortimer. M.D., and many other horsea that fee owned. He v,-as offered 100.000 to 1000 in a bet against Wcatbergauge for the Derby, but did not run him, though it was fiubseciuentlv shown that he was the best horse in tlie raoe, and Daniel O'Rourke would not have stood a chance with him. Then, .again, we often read of the greaS transactions of D'Orsay Clark, and "of the 100,000 to 1000 that he had about Vandemeulin, who started a good favourite fotf the Derbv. All this time D'Orsay was bein* continually pursued with writs, as Ton* Parr was. We have heard Fred Swindell, .say that about the time of Wild Dayrells Derby he dare not open bis mouth to take a bet for fear that someone would 1 jumtf down his throat. Men made offers ill thousands who could not have paid in pence.
