H. R Goldfinch, who was recently relicensed, will have his first ride on Diversion at, the ,Taranaki Hunt 'Club’s meeting at New Plymouth on Saturday., B. H. Morris will ride Round Table and K. Voitre Little Doubt and No Doubt at tho same meeting. * * * * • Thfl first three-year'-old classic in Australia, the Adelaide Guineas, was Tuh on August 19, and was won .by Marcus Tulliils, a colt by imported Royal Aciro, who died some time ago. The winner is owned and trained id Adelaide. * * * * Tho two-year-old half-brother by •Hunting Song to Paleta and Vandyke has been naiped Hunting Cat. . He was being chrried by Ms driiii (Catalarii) when the letter was purchased, at the Stead dispersal for 300gns. by Mr A. F. Symes of Hastings. * •* * J. Ettfabs. a jockey who. was fatally injured ip a steeplechase fall at Caulfield oil August 12, was to liavo been mimed sfiortly. Nifabrotnerj Georgp Stufi'lisi received siicli injuries in a steeplechase fall at Devqnport (TaSr mania) in 1927 that they proved fatal After he had lingered for three years. iii« i., Tiickef, tofai-eii dt Mifatoto on August 1, wheti schooling Gan G., a Stable companion of Redditch, over hurdles. Accompanied by a Poitrel gelding, ridden by R. Hibbs, Ran G. set out for a school Over six .hprdlcs. At thp fifth hurplle Dan G., fell aiid struck Tucker in the face. He received a severe cut over the left iiye, and Was removed to ,a private hospital. Tho woiind required the insertion t>f. 16 stitches, and it was expected (that Tucker would be in hospital for about a week.

* # * * ; Gipsy Love was. Having her first race fbr several months wheti she ran third jh this . Waverley Handicap at the Rgmoni-Wangaitin Hunt Gpb’s faeeting. She .fa; a thre6-year-.old half-sister, by Huntiiig Song, to Beacon Fire. Though a winner lastsfeason, her best form was sliown in minor places, when second th. Princess Doteen in, the Avondale Stakes,, also .third to. Diatoriious and Pjmicess Bbreen in the Auckland Welcome Stakes. If she trains on she should be a candidate for big sprint races this season. # # # * , It is estimate that the bookmakers paid but nearly Rib 1 ,000 on the double Of, Poidale and Redditch in the Australian Htirdle aiid Steeple. One fielder’s li&hiHty was £3400. . He laid, £BOO to £SO, which,. w?s his largest wager. Another laid ,£SOO to £25, and still another £3oQ.to £25. Redditch was a bad horse for straightout and double event fielders, In fact, he has been a costly winner throughout the jumping season for mraetfi. It is ship that his two wins in the big jumping double took nearly £60,000 out of the ring. « • # « Antique, harp his third Australian race this month, when he contested the Dundas Handicap! at RosehiH. He was racing out of His distance, says a Sydney writer, but looked well in, preparation for his Australian Jockey Chib Metropolitan engagement. He was a good performer in New Zealgnß last fceason, running third in- the Aucftlatid Cup, won by Fast Rassage, and winning the Summer Cup, while he was narrowly beaten by Royal Artist in the Wellihgton Cup. 'Sydney racing men respect his form, after a reinarkablo winning performance at Victoria Park in March. « » * # Tlie rehandicap condition attached to the New Zealand Cup is: “The winner, after declaration of weights, of any race of the value of £2OO or of any race or rqces of the value of £4OO may bo rehandicapped, provided that no horse be rehandicapped to carry over weight-for-age.” One thing that this means fa that - a good three-year-old may sweep the board at Treptham and still remain at a fight weight in tho Now Zealand Cnp, for weight-for-age in the race for three-year-olds is 7.6 for colts and geldings aiid 7.1 for fillies. In 1905 Noctuiform, penalised lib to the maximum 7.6 (ftrtd carrying lib overweight) followed Ilia sensational win in the A.J.C. Derby by roakirtjz hacks of a New Zealand Cup field. Indigo’s dead-heat, in 1914 is tho only three-yearroki success since. # # # *

Tuvo former Epsoni Handicap win.tiers scol-bd at Warwick Farm on Saturday—Chatham arid Autopay. The former secured a runaway win in the .Warwick Stakes, at weight-for-iige, mgainst very strong b'pposliibri, arid Aqtopay f under 9.10, gave weight, and M' (fating, to two go°d fa Herniid Tom Pinch, with Broiizo Hawk arid Vista close up. lii this year’s Epsom, Chatham, who won last yeal - with 8.13, tops tho scale with 9.10, and Autopay, jvho was fourth in the Epsom with 9.6, hiis been given 9.7, Dornud has been handicapped at 8.8, Tom Pinch at S.ll, Bronze Hawk at 8.10, and Vista at 7.9. Kuvera, who was runnor-up to Chatham on Saturday, has'been weighted lit 0.5, and Rogilla, who was third, at 9.7. Thus it will (be seen that- these tnhb results over the week-end, have doito nothing to clarify the Epsom issue.

Mr. W. R. Iveinball last week disposed of the bay horse Golden Horn in Melbourne to S'. S. Masters. Golden Horn, \ylio is by Cape Horn from Eurclla, was sold privately and at his first, start in his new colors ran second.

* * * * Bright Glow and Gold Dawn, who are both by Day Comet from Red Dolly, are to visit the Son-iii-Law horse Siegfried II this season. Bright Glow won the Easter Handicap at Ellersjie in 1929, and twice ran second in the W.R.C. Thompson Handicap. * * * * Silvox is having a short rest, but he will be in active commission again soon. He stood up to. his three hard races at the Grand National meeting without shbvving any signs of leg troubles. Provided lie goes, oil all right, he may go south for trie Dunedin meeting., where he has an engagement in the Guineas. * # # ■# Emotion, wlio at the dispersal sale of the late W. E. Bidwell’s racing stock Was purchased for 75gns. on behalf of Mr. O. Nelson, made a promising start for her new owner when he rap third in the Horonui.Hack Handicap at Hastings last Saturday. In a field of 10 lib was ninth favorite on the win jnapfiinc and tenth favorite on the place maChilie. Mr. Nelson also owns Royal Hunting, who won the Abbotsford Handicap. # * * * It is unusual for two horses to deadheat twice, but such has been the case in Sydney with Maltdale and Nord, who have dqad-heated on two occasions within a period of about four months. They were bracketed for second in the Final Handicap at Randwick on April 22 and at Warwick Farm last Saturday they again shared honors when they fan a dead-beat for first in the Glenlee Handicap. # * * * It was thought, that Peter Pan would have his first rqee 01, the, season at Warwick Farm in the Warwick Stakes last Saturday, but last season’s crack three-fekr-old. although well, is not. ready yet. He will most likely have 1 his first riih in the Chelmsford .Stakes at Tattersail’s meeting on Saturday week. Froni now bn racing id Sydney, and Melbourne is very interestirig in view tif the big events .ahead, aha Hew Zealand is so well represented that there; is (juite a hig following hero fbr Dominion runners. The “Horse and Hound” has an interesting , reference to the early career of England's great staying gelding; firdwn Jack, who wits originally raced in Ireland by the Irish trainer, C.. A. Rogers. After a couple of unplaced runs in flat races at threh years in Ireland, Brown Jack was putphased privately to £7s by Mr. A., HasthigS on behalf of; Sit Harold Werhher,' the idea being to make a jumper of him. At his first appearance over hiirdles in England he ran third, arid ttieii proved iiivitfaible lit .three-year-old hurdle rages, winning five in succession. . At foiit years he ran in four hurdle rrictej winning .twb rind running seboiid in another.. His last success jjlybr Initdles' whs oti Match 15, 192&; wiled lie secured the chahipipn Hurdle Challenge. Cup at the National Hunt meeting at Cnfelteiihain. Of his 10 efforts over hurdles, he Won seven; waS second once; third once, aiid unplaced in the bther; and i|i all earned £1504 in stakes iit tlife whiter grime; Siiice His final subdessful bffo.it at Cheltenham ■ firdwn Jack’s attentions have been wholly confined to the fldt, at which he made his first appearance in England in the Durham Plate at Hiirst Park, in May, 1928. He was unplaced, hut he then wbp four bf the othef five flat races in which he started that season.
