TALK OF THE TURF

H. I’rosser has given Great Star very little serious work since his recent racing and lie lias freshened up nicely. He and Grand Review are booked for a trip to Auckland during the holidays.

A brilliant galloper on the track. La Ponjiee lias tailed in her recent starts to produce her best iorin. At bedding this week she will have a chance to make amends, figuring] in the Kiwilea Handicap o! seven furlongs.

R. Reed returned from Australia on Friday by the Zenlandia. He was expected in Auckland earlier in the week, but delayed his: departure. On Saturday lie was riding at Levin, vvheio he had been engaged for .Toic de Val and Teastream. 11. Telford has also obtained Ids services for Pegged Exchange and Dole at Ellcrslie.

New Zealand-bred horses ran prominently at the Helena Vale Club’s meeting at Perth on November 12. The Flying Handicap, six furlongs, was won by Tninerial Guard (Valkyrian—'Whitianga), with Val pm (Chief Ruler—Valerie) second and the Bellevue Purse, one mile and’ a-quarter and 100 yards, was won bv Half Acre ( Acre— Strnwan mare). The former pair were favorites, but Half Acre was a big outsider.

An appeal lodged by AT. Kirwan against his suspension for one month at Riccartuii on the concluding day oi the New Zeaalnd Cup meeting, was heard bv the Canterbury District Committee last week. After‘taking evidence, the appeal was allowed. Kirwan rode Elude in the Suburban Handicap _ and was adiudged guilty of causing interference to Starshooter, Pixie Gold and Morena.

The success of Indianapolis in the Oaversham Handicap at Eorburv Iktrk, which he won in 3.20 1-5. equalling Taxpayer’s Derby record, brings W. J. Tomkinson’s ‘pacer further into the picture for the Auckland classic next north. Taxpayer, who was conceding the winner 24vds, finished third m 3.18 4.5, that the meeting between the Canterbury pair at Epsom should be well worth witnessing.

Several of the jockeys who were velArcd a renewal of their licenses by the Victorian Racing Club s committee at the beginning of the season, and who recently applied for reinstatmeiit, have been informed that it would ho useless f or them to apply again until licenses verc reviewed‘for 1933-34. Present indications point to longer terms of seni/'nee. as regards time, than was originally tboimbt when first the jockeys were refused their tickets. ■V. *

eijycr Ring has been on the easy hst & j n ,. P the Canterbury Jockey Club's meeting- where he had two races, m which lie was not seen to advantage. He was a brilliant two-year-old, but lie faih>d to show Ids true form in Sydney in the crly part of this season. He started the, Australian trip unfortimntely. as he experienced a rough sea tri". since lie returned bonny hennas not pleased his trainer, R. W. Kmg. ~iifi IH , definite holiday plans have been .made for him.

The New Zealand jockey W. Broughlon had ail unpleasant experience while j-hliim a horse named Raplores in Melbourne recently. The horse became unmanageahle when going out to race.

.Although it does not have manv crosscountry events, the United States can Kne.it bv Grand National Steeplechase. r r]iis event, which is promoted by the Belmont Park Club, was decided in September, and an English-bred horse. Tourist 11. beat seven opponents. In the*e days it is not remarkable to find contestants in steeplechase events possessing pedigrees that would entitle them to inclusion in the most company. This can he said of_ Tourist TT. who is bv Son-in-T.aw from Tourame. by Swynfovd from Bella, Vista. When racing in England Tourist II Avon the Prince of Wales Stakes.

The form of old Concentrate since his return io New Zealand would suggest that Dominion form is hardly up to the standard of a few years had- (says the Sv-lnev Morning Herald). This season the Maot'ilanders sent a very strong team to Australia, but. while O-iine Carrington won TaUovsniPs Chelmsford Stakes? lost the A.J.C. Clibboru Stakes on a protest, and ran second in the Victoria Derby and the C. B. Fisher Plate, none of the others was successful in the more important events. . though TTpverinir and Historic won minor handicaps at the A.J.C. spring meeting. However, horses b"ed in New Zealand, lint trained here, did very well.

Silver Scorn lias had an easy time since the New Zealand Cup meeting. As was otilv to be expected, she lightened nn after her week’.s racing, but otherwise showed no ill-effects, and according to her owner-trainer she settled down immediately after the meeting and gave little indication in her daily routine of having undergone a severe programme. It is as yet too early (says tile Press) to make definite plans for Silver Scorn’s movements during the holiday period. A trip to Eller.slie has been in view with her and Berate, hut the latter’s task may now he made too severe, Meprisant and Muff are intended to race at the Dunedin, Waikouaiti and Oamarii holiday meetings, and it is possible that the two three-year-old fillies may accompany them, south
