AUCKLAND TOPICS.

By

Digger.

T. George received a couple of additions to his team. One is a two-year-old filly by Tea Tray from Jolie Princess, and the other a three-year-old filly by Romeo from Thurnlcy. Tho former is owned by Mr W. Burrott and the latter by Mr J. D Jones. Adjuster was brought to Ellerslie to bo. schooled during the week, his display being a first-class one for a novice. He has the size and speed to make a really good hurdler. The objection lodged against King Mcrv at Avondale by the owner of Titree did not take lon<>- to decide, and it was dismissed without hesitation, the committee being of opinion that it was without grounds. King Mcrv was always in front of Titree, and his rider committted no breach of the rules whatever. i ne Hawke’s Bay youngsters Bttlalo and Monetye, now trained at Ellerslie, are a very promising pair. The former is tho more forward, and he has only to reproduce Ellerslie form to show up at To Rapa on Saturday. When Peketahi fell at Avondale C. Hastings sustained a broken collarbone. Thu young rider does not have much luck, bnt> like others he may get .. turn before long. E. Stanway, a successful horseman over hurdles and country, was to leave for Melbourne on Monday. He has an engagement with the Victorian trainer B. Price, and, like other New Zealanders who have gone to Victoria in the past, he should do well. The disappointing Antonive is back again with P. Conway, but he seems a hopeless case, although his condition is quite satis-’ factory. Marble Mount and Royal Trek were among the novices schooled during the week. The latter is a green horse by Royal Soult, who shows considerable promise. During the holidays Rahepato has built up splendidly. That he has not forgotten hov.' to jump he showed by clearing tlye big hurdles in fine style on Thursday. With a dearth of good hurdlers in the north Rahepato should continue to be a payable proposition. Since his noteworthy’ second after being left at Pukekohe. two failures are down against Modest Boy. Some excuse has been advanced for bis defeat at Avondale, and it may’ be fully justified when the Some Boy II gelding appears at Te Rapa. He is one of the best hacks in the north, and is quite genuine. After two public outings, Royal Tea won at his third attempt since being recommissioned. His good showing on the first day at Avondale prepared backers for his second day victory. He was cut back nearly last in a big field, and then finished in brilliant style to win easily. Royal Tea is a classy sprinter, who will again be in strong demand at Te Rapa. King Merv has struck form, and being a fine weight carrier should go on to further successes. He is due to make his next appearance on his home track at Te Rapa. Valkon has been racing very unluckily. He would have beaten In the Shade with a little better fortune on the second day at Avondale, and as he is a consistent fellow his turn may not be much longer delayed. Newbury was among those lost in th§ bunch in the Chevalier Handicap last week. He bad little chance from barrier rise,

but he ia likely to prove that form all wrong at the earliest opportunity. Ripon Abbey and Potoanui are both brilliant hurdicre over a mide and a-half, and they likely to dispute favouritism on the first day at Te Rapa. RACING IN NEW ZEALAND. AVONDALE RACES.

Once over, an interesting race saw Vexatious win by half a length from Mount Marta, who beat Braeman by a similar margin. Kilburn was right un fourth, and then a gap to Ngata and Chrissarto. There was nothing much between the first four horses, but both Kilburn and Braeman should have done better.

Moa Bird was a good favourite for the hack sprint (the Lockwood Handicap), aud, with Vigilance, carried the bulk of the pool. Moa Bird was slow away, Orcadqp, Le Champ. Desert Lad. and Valuator comprising the leading division to the four furlongs, where Callanmore ran up fast and led round the turn into the straight.

Vivo soon went into the lead and set a fast pace from Mandane and Mask, who were followed by Crown Area, Tresham, and Hynanna. Down the back Vivo was four length out in front, but on the turn her

In * four-horse race for the Hack Mile, Court Jester was the favourite and Holus Bolus and Borsaline were well backed. Borsalene led at a slow pace from Holus Bolus and Court Jester. At the halfmile Reed increased the pace on Borsalene. and thereafter was never in danger of defeat, winning by three lengths, with a similar distance between second and third.
