TRACK AND STABLE

MR. W. GOMM’S HORSES LEAVE FOR HAWKE’S I’.AV 111 YEP IT STAVING HOME By “Trenton” Mr. W. Gomm's two horses, Bothwell and Malmetic, left for Napier yesterday. They are engaged at the liawke’s Bay meeting on Saturday. Eas.>d in Her Work Hinepjt lias been eased in her work lately and she will not make the trip to Hawke’S Bay. One To Watch Race Call was only started once at Manawatu, and was then returned to Hawera. He will be on hand at Stratford, and should give a good account of himself. Belter Than Ever Esteem’s form at Feilding after his long spell from racing was impressive, and it will attract attention to his prospects among the hurdlers at Stratford next week, for lie appears to have gone on the right way since. Esteem stays on well. Doing Nicely Dainty Sue is making good progress, and whereevr she races at the New Year she will be the medium of heavy support. She is likely to win a race at Stratford. New Brigade Girl Pat and Diamond Cutter seem to be doing nicely, and both are likely to race prominently in ihc course of the next few days. Diamond Cutter will pribably do his New Year racing at Tauherenikau. Government Taxation The Government taxation from the Waipa Racing Club's meeting at Te Rapa totalled £3547 17s lid, made up as follows:—Totalisator tax. £1047 17s 3d; dividend tax, £IBO2 5s 8d; stakes tax. £l7 10s; amusement tax, £BO ss. '['lie total taxation in respect to the club’s winter and summer meetings in 1933 aggregates over £7OOO. Much Improved Pen, who impressed at Feilding, was given a short let-up and did noL race at Christmas, but he will be on hand at the Wairarapa meeting and the two-year-olds there will find that he is a much-improved colt. Pen is the best-looking get of Acre seen for a long while, and he promises to be decidedly useful. Ngarchu for Victoria Dr. Clough Blundell, the To Awamutu sportsman, is making arrangements to send his Foxbridge two-vear-old colt Ngarchu to Victoria by the first boat in January, to enter J. Fryer’s stable, where Dr. Blundells mare, Namakia, has been for the past year. Namakia, a good performer in the Auckland province, was a winner at Melbourne the other week. It is orobable that Fryer's youngster, by Foxbridge from Green Linnet, will be a mate for Ngarehu on the journey to Australia.
