THE TURF

Auckland meeting continues on -Monday, Wednesday, Thursday. A record attendance is expected at Wyndham on Wednesday next. There was trouble in the jockey camp on the first day of the D.J.C. meeting. The Pino Hush winner Red Sea is a son of Sea Lion (brother to Achilles) from Cosie. It Is reported from Dunedin that Parable and Taft are in the pink of condition at present. The local course is in fine condition for the Southland R.C. summer meeting on Thursday and Friday next. Inquiries have been made as to the penalties to be carried at the S. R.C. meeting, but those arc nut likely to be available until utter the D.J.C. meeting to-day. As the result of her success in the Otago Handicap on Thursday, Parable has come into favour for the Invercargill Cup. However, the daughter of Merlweo and Palaver will he called upon to meet fresh blood on Thursday. The stock of Sir Hector have risen in price all round since Lady Hector showed pace at Gore. The pacing stallion Is expected to get a further rise on the • takes list within the next few weeks. A Melbourne cablegram advises that a private message received in that city states that the Viceroy's Cup. Hie leading event of the Indian turf resulted in a dead heat between May fowl and Brique. with Gunboat and Hilarity running a dead heat for third place. On the occasion of a visit to Lumsden on Christmas Day the writer looked up trainer C. Church and found him busily engaged dressing Grafton Laddie. 'lhe son of Ayr Laddie and Lady Grafton is looking big and strong, and his mentor •tales that he lias gone through a sound preparation. At the Tara laid-Car ter ton races on Thursday last the Taratalu Hack Handicap (live furlongs) was won by Merry Guy. who is owned by -Mr G. Eitzuiaurlce, at one time trainer of Silkworm and other horses in Invercargill. On Thursday at Wiugatui L. O. King (rider of Kllmeny) lodged a complaint against J. Pine (rider of Kills) for alleged foul riding in the Olokia Welter Handicap, An inquiry was to he held Into the matter last evening. It is alleged that during the raceKilmeny was forced on the rails and considerably cut about in consequence. Common, whose death was announced from England the other day. was a brown horse by Tsonomy. Among his performances was the winning of the Derby, the St. Lcger, and the Two Thouaand Guineas In one year—lß9l. As far as appearances go. trainer C. Church has worked a marvellous change In Biarritz. The son of Ladurlad may not be able to gallop any faster, but he la certainly a changed horse to look at. The Queenslander, so far. has shown more inclination to slay than sprint. The unique sight was witnessed on Thursday of Comedy Queen and -Multifoil being taken away on, the long journey to fulfil their engagements at the Otautau Hack R.C.’s meeting in a motor lorry. Although they were both defeated in their engagements, the experiment ■was otherwise successful, as the horses soon settled down to the conditions experienced in their novel conveyance, and the out and home trips were made smoothly and uneventfully. the pali were also motored to the Pine Bush races yesterday. It is understood that the ■ame lorry has been engaged to take a couple of other horses to Wyudham on New Year’s Day. The motor "as requisitioned for the Otautau and Pine Bush trips owing to a difficulty being found in getting the horses to and from the meetings on tHe same day by rail. AH going well in the meantime, it is reported that later in the season the trotting mare Winsoon is to be taken to Canterbury to measure strides with the cracks. Mr T. McCurdy, owner of her sire, ICing Child, was asked to put a price on the son of Rothschild on flnusday last, but lie ,did not enter tain Uifl proposal. D.J.C. SUMMEB MEETING.
