LATE SPORTING

WANGANUI TURF NOTES GLENTRUIN EXPECTED AT FEILDING ENAKE MAY JUMP AT RICCARTON (Special to the Times.) Wanganui, October 29. After getting every assistance at the barrier by way of a flying start, Helen duly won the Maiden at Waverley. The filly was disinclined to face the tapes, but she was on the move into line when off they went, with Helen getting all the best of it. She was in front practically the whole way, and once in the straight she came on to return a Gloaming price. It was a good performance for she won easily, but she had everything in her favour. Helen ran a bit green. It was difficult to get a reliable line on her prospects, for the opposition was very weak and she had an advantage at the start. However there was plenty of room for improvement. Although the English-bred mare, Per Arma, has left nothing of note in her first two seasons, it appears as if she will be well represented in the near future by Barry anda, a three-year old filly bred by Mr J. F. Buchanan and racing in the interests of Mr Frank Besley, best known as the owner of that good horse Marqueteur. Barryanda made her second appearance with the colours up at Waverley, but was never sighted in the running, her stable companion Helen being the winner of the event. Martians need time, particularly fillies, but Barryanda looks as if she will be good enough to win races round about the Christmas holiday meetings. That Kiosk has lost none of his pace he showed the first day at Waverley. He waited on First Acre to the turn and then challenged at the distance, and although he got within striking distance, failed to go on with it and was beaten into second place by a good horse. The colt was a bit short of work and, as expected, did not have the necessary condition for a sustained finishing effort. On the second day driving misty rain was full in the face as the field finished up the straight, so it is no wonder that the connection of Kiosk did not at all relish the prospects. The colt might well have been second, but for being a sufferer by interference that took place over the final stages. Kiosk is still capable of winning sprint races. With Glentruin mentioned as a probable starter at the fixture at Feilding, the meeting at the end of November promises to be much more interesting than usual. In addition to the Feilding Stakes of five furlongs in which several crack three-year-olds and older horses are engaged, the Feilding Cup of ten furlongs has a 100-guinea gold cup attached to the stake. Although Euphonium was very lucky to win the principal handicap at Waverley last Saturday he was rather unlucky in being beaten by a neck on the second day. On Saturday, Euphonium was making heavy weather half a mile from home, and it was big odds against him winning. However Barry hunted him along and crossing the top he pushed him up on the rails, the field opening out nicely for him. He was only sixth at the home turn, but, hugging the rails, he continued his run and just got up in time to beat the outsider of the field, Crossfire. On the second day Euphonium ran a similar race to finish strongly, but this time he found Novar too good. Euphonium is a useful performer, and he has been placed well. Novar, who ran second in a weak field in the last Wanganui Cup, is in the New Zealand Cup. The Hawera horse Bonogne is a difficult animal to handle. Last January at Foxton he was the cause of A. Downing being stood down for three months and at Waverley on Monday he took charge of his diminutive pilot in the straight and the boy’s hands and the reins became inextricably mixed with the horse’s mane. Bonogne bored right over on Pouma, and being small, she was nearly bowled over. Continuing to bore towards the rails Bonogne next stopped Kiosk, but the post was reached too quickly for the Bisogne gelding to stop Lady Bentinck, who finished strongly on the inner. Bonogne won by half a length, and he should have scored by a bigger margin. In the future it should be the duty of the stipendiary stewards to see that this wayward fellow is ridden by a jockey capable of keeping him straight and incidentally to endeavour to get him to race more consistently. Punters do not like to see a horse run a bad last one day and romp home the next. All Wanganui seemed to be on Tamakana at the Waikato Hunt meeting last Monday when he contested the Hunters’ Hurdles and Bracelet. The first fence on Monday proved too much for the Wanganui horse, and he was not sighted in the amateur riders’ race. His form was too bad to be true. It will perhaps be wise not to take too much notice of Enare’s hurdle failure at Waverley, for it was obvious that the Sunny Lake gelding was not at home on the undulating course. In addition he was slovenly at his fences, but with more judicious handling may have finished closer up. Enare probably will be taken on to Riccarton for hurdle events there, for he is not overburdened with 10.8 the first day. The trouble there will be. the distance, for to date his best performances have been over a mile and a half and a mile and five furlongs. It was hard to account for the double failure at Waverley of Bank Note. Favourite both days, he never was in the hunt when it came to racing, despite the fact that on each occasion he was in a -winning position at the bottom of the straight. The connections of the Paper Money three-year-old were very disappointed with his performances, for they were always confident he was a class above the opposition. However his finishing efforts were lamentably tame, and on these his chances of beating Lysander at Ellerslie in next week’s classic may be put down at a thousand to one. The wavy course might have affected him, but his rider said he handled it well until he got to the worst part, which was the run home. AUCKLAND RACING CLUB. SPRING MEETING ACCEPTANCES.
