TRACK AND STABLE

DUTCH ACE SCORES HIS SECOND ATTEMPT JAYOLA’S SECOND PLACING MODEL OF CONSISTENCY By “Trenton" Dutch Ace, who scored at Tauranga yesterday, is a six-year-old gelding by The Ace out of Dutchie. He had had only one previous start, when he ran second to Smiling Personality at the local meeting. Dutch Ace is owned by Mr. R E. Walker and trained locally by J. White. Jayola Consistent Jayola did not start at Tauranga yesterday. His second in the Cup on opening day added further to his already lengthy list of placings. In all he has had 18 starts this season, and with four wins, five seconds and four thirds he has been a model of consistency. Showed Promise A runner at Trentham of whom better things can be expected is Scold. She was one of the four that finished practically in a line in the Plunket Nursery. She is a filly by Myosotis and was bred by G. Murray Aynsley, and belongs to one of his good families. Her dam, Berate, is by Silverado from Reproachful, and is a half-sister to Chide. Scold sticks on solidly and should develop. May Do Better Although Wild Career found the company at Trentham a bit classy, he showed up in the latter stages of the open mile on the last day, and may soon make a return to the winning list in the South Island. Being Hacked About Rebel Lad is being hacked about on the property of his owner, Mr. Donald Grant, at Timaru, preparatory to rejoining D. Cotton’s stable at Riccarton. A seven-year-old brown gelding by Robespierre, he showed some smart form last season, but always seemed to meet one better. His sixteen starts brought only one win, the Waimate Cup, but he also gained six seconds and one third. Good Prospects Although, beaten in the Sires' Produce Stakes last Saturday, Beau Vite has good prospects as a three-year-old, for in addition to being by Beau .Pere he is out of the Martian mare Dominant. Dominant is out of Lovelorn, by Melton —Hebrew Maid. None of the previous foals of Dominant earned racing fame, but the family’is a very sound staying line, Dominant being a sister to Nones. Menelaus, Lovematch and Left. The latter is the dam of Peter Jackson, Gaine Carrington and Wotan. Wotan is also by a Son-in-Law stallion, so the nicking of that blood with this family has already produced a Melbourne Cup winner. Wotan’s feats up to the same period, however, do not compare with those of Beau Vite. Beau Vite cost 900gns. as a yearling, and Mr. Eric Riddil'orcl was the underbidder. He was bred by Mr. J. Curran, Shannon. He has won £IOBS. Remount Act Success In the course of his reply to a deputation, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, gave some interesting information concerning the operation of the Remounts Encouragement Act. He stated he had been informed that the New Zealand Racing and Trottiijg Conference had decided to grant the sum of £263 to the Department of Agriculture, being the amount in excess of the maximum sum of £4OOO allowed under the Remounts Encouragement Act to be paid in any one year for the purpose of subsidising stallions. Mr. Parry said that during the past season 29 stallions had been subsidised and about 1000 mares served by those subsidised stallions. He thought the Racing Conference was to be congratulated on its decision to grant a special premium of £25 to the owner of any subsidised stallion which has served CO mares during the past season "The success of this move up to the present,” said Mr. Parry, “is very gratifying, and there is every evidence that in the very near future even the past success will be greatly exceeded.”

The Minister said he had recently seen evidence in a saddlery manufactury that there was an increasing demand for harness and similar equipment. and without doubt even this endeavour to increase the number of horses in the Dominion would in a small way help to encourage a local industry.
