NOTES BY SIR MODRED. Ashburton Trotting Club Winter races to-day. Australian J.C. Winter meeting concludes to-day. Nukumai is reported to be himself once more. Napier Park R.C. acceptances are due on Tuesday. Ashburton County R.C. Winter meeting entries June 13. Auckland Trotting Club meeting opens on Saturday next. Diogenes broke down when running well at Otaki. J. A. Beale has been recommended for a trainer’s license. During the current season Overhaul has won £l4OO in stakes. Northern experts are inclined to give Birkenella another chance. Pentagram may race well in the big steeplechase in Sydney to-day. Hymestrason is being marked down as a promising hack hurdler. Maunga has always jumped like a good ’chaser in the making. The Royal Stakes, £7OO (9f.) at weight-ier-age is due in Brisbane to-day. Tresham is reported to have been unlucky at the Otaki Maori gathering. The Gienapp mare, who produced Maungamoe, is booked to Panmure (imp.). Beau Cavalier won the Great Northern on his owner's sixty-seventh birthday. Southland pacer, Bell Harold, may go to Australia to race in the near future. The brilliant pacer Great Hope is standing up to his winter racing preparation. Mr Quartley purchased the Great Northern Steeplechase winner at a cost of £55. A very large contingent of Christchurch trotters will race in Auckland during next week. The sale of Magna Charta has been completed and he will in future race in the south. Brigadier Bill has not been long in recovering from his fall at the Wanganui meeting. It is stated in the north that Mount Marta will become a very’ useful steeplechaser. During the first two days of the Auckland meeting district horses won £9950 in stake money. The Auckland Memsahib case can still go to the Appeal Court of the New Zealand Racing Conference. Yaldhurst light harness trainer, M. B. Edwards, has leased the successful stallion Author Dillon. Why the owner of Memsahib should have been exonerated and his jockey punished is not easily understood. The galloper King Lu, who won at the recent Auckland meeting, was operated on for throat troubles in February last. It will be interesting to see where his new owners race Overhaul and it may be found that the Winter Cup is his mission. Maunga did well to finish second in the Great Northern Steeplechase, as he pecked on landing over at least three fences by the way. Beau Cavalier was numbered as “13” in the race-book, but this did not keep backers from following him to victory in the Great Northern. The contest for the New Zealand Sapling Stakes at Ashburton T.C. meeting to-day promises to create more interest than any previous race for the classic. Sir George Clifford's filly by March Along (imp.) from Brown Owl, which was sired in N.S.W., has been registered to race as Swoopalong. Nominations for the Wellington Racing Club’s Winter meeting on July 12, 14 and 16, will close on Monday, June 20, at 9 p.m. The Hawke’s Bay mare, Fireblight, was never prominent in the Great Northern Steeplechase, but she jumped very well and may do better at Riccarton later on. Rampion’s yearling brother, for whom 3000 guineas was refused at the Sydney Easter sales, is now being trained by G. Price on the Randwick tracks. It is reported from Christchurch that R. B. Berry has disposed of his interest in the crack trotting mare, Escapade, but will train her for Messrs Neale and Deyell. Mr J. Foster, who has been engaged on Flemington course by the Victoria Racing Club for over 50 years, latterly as assistant ranger, has retired from active service. It has been given out in Sydney that J. T. Jamieson is only making a short stay in Australia with the four horses he took across to race there from Auckland. It is always interesting to follow the careers of high-priced yearlings, hence it is instructive to learn that the 5000 guineas colt by Calais—Glittering Gold is to race in Sydney as Gilt Edge.

Following on her return from the D.J.C. Winter meeting Set Sail was to be seen frisking about in one of F. W. Ellis’s paddocks. The Solferino mare may be sent home to her owner for a short spell.

Sydney Referee states that Mr G. D. Greenwood’s brilliant two-year-old filly, Eulalie, by Absurd—Eulogy, *who won the AJ.C. Gimcrack Stakes in the spring, is for sale, the price being 5000 guineas.

The veteran fencers, Kipling and Penury Rose, were treated to a let-up on their return from Wingatui. J. A. Rowland threatens to ride the former in qualifying runs with the Birchwood Hunt.

While he has not been elected to the position of first fancy, the Aucklander, Pentagram, is one of the leading selections for the Australian Jockey Club’s big steeplechase, w’hich will come up for decision at Randwick to-day.

The Victoria Amateur Turf Club has decided to erect a new stand at Caulfield to replace the building recently destroyed by fire. The edifice will cost about £60,000 and will accommodate between 13,000 and 14,000 patrons.

During the past week J. A. Rowland has been nursing his rising three-year-old pupil, Vinegrove, through a cold. The Tractor— Watercourse gelding has been growing and furnishing of late and promises to furnish into a useful galloper.

A full sister to Gloaming’s old opponent, Beauford, ran a fair race in a Maiden Plate at Maitland (N.S.W.) recently. The four-year-old daughter of the New Zealand sire, Beau Soult from Blueford, will be recognised in future races under the name of Tartan Sash.

The local light harness trainers, S. Todd and A. McLellan, will be represented at the Ashburton Trotting Club’s Winter meeting to-day, the former by Slump, and the latter may start Desert Star and Spring Chimes. When last heard from McLellan had Spring Chimes under offer to a Christchurch owner. A Rossendale colt, Rampion (remarks ‘Pilot” in the Sydney Referee) was too good for Limerick in Sydney in the Spring, and next season Mr 11. A. Knight will be racing a half-brother, by Rossendale to Limerick. The Messrs Brien will, all going well, be represented by Rampion’s brother, and, if Limerick’s half-brother should prove superior to their colt, it will be some consolation that he is by their stallion. The Sydney writer does not explain that Medley, the dam of Limerick, was sent across to N.S.W. to be mated with Rossendale, a fact accounting for F. D. Jones having a youngster of this breeding under his charge at Riccarton. The rising two-year-old gelding by The Sybarite—Wolke, by The Welkin—Polaire, by Bobadil—The Parisienne, by Trenton, purchased in Sydney recently on behalf of Mr W. Baird, has resumed work on the Southland R.C. tracks. The youngster was laid aside for a short period, but F. W. Ellis has apparently effected a good cure. The New Zealand jockey, C. Carmont (reports Sydney Referee), had an unusual and unpleasant experience in connection with his riding of Stormy, w’ho started an even money favourite for the Railway Handicap at Boolaroo. Early in the race Stormy collided with another horse, with the result that Carmont came off, injuring a leg, while the following day Stormy was sufficiently lame to cause his withdrawal from the Newcastle Mile. Subsequently the stewards suspended Carmont for three months, so they were evidently satisfied careless tactics w’ere responsible for the trouble. Carmont has appealed. The speedy but erratic Bloom is presently to embark on another phase of his jumping career, as his trainer, J. A. Rowland, proposes to qualify him with the Birchwood Hunt in company with Kipling. Now that Bloom has taken to the leaping game there is no reason why he should not become useful at racing over obstacles, as he possesses the necessary pace and conformation. Rowland has had a considerable amount of experience with jumpers during his career, a fact which probably explains his success with Penury Rose and Kipling in the past. On the opening day of the N.Z.M.T.C.’s Winter meeting at Addington on June 2 the powers that be, apparently on the report of a patrol official, called A. McLellan up before them after the race for the King George Handicap, alleging that he had driven Downcast to interfere with Talent (H. Frost) in the race. It is stated that the southern reinsman denied that any such thing occurred and H. Frost backed up this statement to the letter, with the result that no action was taken. This was satisfactory as far as it went, but the time lost during the inquiry proved a serious matter for McLellan, as he had Spring Chimes engaged in the following race, Lyttelton Handicap. His owner was unable to devote the necessary warming-up exercise to Spring Chimes, owing to being engaged elsewhere, with the result that the Four Chimes gelding is alleged to have gone to the barrier cold. The race was won easily enough by Huon Denver, but Kid Logan only beat Spring Chimes by half a length for second place, and these positions might easily have been reversed had all gone well in the preliminary work with the southern saddle performer. As Spring Chimes started eighth in order of selection, McLellan had good reason to regret that his pacer had not had the full advantage of his services prior to the contest. In commenting on the race for the Great Northern Steeplechase, Auckland Sun remarks—“ln his last four starts over the big fences—two in racing and two in schooling -Comical has fallen. That was prior to the Great Northern on Saturday. Every time H. Burt w’as in the saddle, and so the owner and trainer of the horse considered that it was only fair to free the rider of his engagement to pilot Comical on Saturday, thereby allowing Burt to take the mount on Passin’ Through. It was a very sportsmanlike action, the more so that in such a race carrying a big stake probably no other jockey was available. The stable jockey, C. Taggart, was given the ride in the Great Northern, and for him the horse went fairly well until it ran itself out. This was Taggart’s first ride over obstacles, and he acquitted himself well in what is undoubtedly the most tiring race in the country. Taggart had prior to Saturday not even schooled a horse over fences.” Indications point to local private trainer F. J. McKay keeping a strong team in work for winter racing, as he has had eight horses, including two youngsters, at exercise during the week on the S.R.C. tracks. Under the circumstances, a selection of flat racers to compete at Riccarton with the 'chaser Frenchman will be possible. In the meantime, Paris, Irish and Father O’Flynn returned safely from their racing ventures at Wingatui last week, but the trio had lightened up to some extent, particularly the last-named. McKay’s three-year-old charge, Taramoa, is growing into a very sturdy customer, and it is on the cards that the descendant of Solferino—Directoire will furnish into a rare stamp of hurdle racer when he becomes seasoned. The rising three-year-olds, Latin Quarter (Thurnham— Moulii Rouge) and Slanther (Thurnham— Wild Colleen) have improved since taking part in the parade at the Otautau R.C. fixlure. The gelding, Latin Quarter, looks as if he will be able to gallop next season, but the filly has yet to be seen in racing shape to obtain an idea as to her future capabilities. Last week the Sydney Sun’s Rockhampton correspondent telegraphed as follows—- “ Ringing-in is not confined to racecourses. Even the small boys who race goats at the Agricultural Society’s weekly sports, have ‘worked the oracle’ for some time past. There have been whispers that first division- ' ers were starting in third division races. Last night the stewards took action and carpeted several boys. After exhaustive inquiries it was ascertained that ‘Piastoon’ and ‘Brown Joe,’ who were entered in the third division were identical with ‘Heroic’ and ‘Limerick,’ two first divisioners. Two tearful lads made a hurried exit from the showgrounds, with two hairy steeds in tow. When the third division had been run there was an uproar. It was discovered that ‘Sapially,’ the w’inner, was identical with ‘Kenzilla,’ a first divisioner. ‘Kenzilla’s’ owner was fined the amount of the prizemoney. As between 70 and 80 goats start in three divisions every night, the stewards have a difficult task in keeping tab on them.”

While Soltoe lightened up slightly as the result of his profitable exertions at the Dunedin Jockey Club’s Winter meeting, Equerry returned to Invercargill almost his sturdy, free-actioned self. Both horses have been working on the local tracks during the week, and it may thus be taken for granted that J. W. Pankhurst will campaign his pupils abroad during the midwinter season. F. W. Ellis has been devoting keen attention to several of his novice performers during the few days following his return from Wingatui, and it may be noted that the rising tw’o-year-olds Red Sea (Valkyrian—Whitianga) and Cornstalk (The Sybarite—Wolke) are doing well, while the Kilbroney—Eager Eyes rising three-year-old is furnishing outwards if she has yet to grow into the air as desired. Interviewed by an Auckland Star representative on his return from a visit to Sydney Mr C. M. Emanuel, owner of Royal Tea, said that what he would like to see here all the powers which are vested in the Stipendiary Stewards in Australia, and the conveyance of racehorses to and from courses by motor vehicle, and broadcasting of races. “Where Australia particularly outshines New Zealand,” said Mr Emman-

uel, “is in getting horses to and from the courses up to fifty miles away, and in the fact that Stipendiary Stewards are given full powers to inquire and decide upon any question of improper practices or riding. Two stipendiaries attend every meeting in Australia, and they are smart in their decisions. I think it better than the committee method we have. The travelling for racehorses are first rate. For a moderate fee, cheaper than the train, a racer is conveyed in special motor coaches up to fifty miles to the scene of the races on the day of the event, and they can be back to their quarters the same night. Four or five horses can be carried in one coach. These are admirably made, and are on the lines of box trains. It is a great thing. No horse has need to be taken through a town or traffic, and consequently they arrive fresher and in better tune right at the course. Even when horses are sent to New Zealand they never take them through the streets; they are taken by coach direct to the ship. As far as training facilities are concerned, the soil in Sydney is so wonderful that one can work on the grass every day, morning or evening.” The master of Endeavour Lodge is at present attending to the education of two attractive geldings for Mr J. M. Samson, of Dunedin, the elder of the pair being a rising three-year-old gelding called Redenui. This juvenile is a well-grown free-actioned bay by imported Paladin from Warlady, by Martian—Lady Lucy, by Seaton Delaval — Hilda, by Musket—Ouida, by Yattendon. He is a very stoutly-bred gelding and looks the part, and if he should fail to develop into a useful handicap horse, or even a classic performer, the fact will cause some surprise. Mr Samson’s other racehorse in the making is a natty, quick-stepping rising two-year-old gelding called Moneybox, who ranks as a son of Paper Money from Martifors, and it may be said that he is undoubtedly well-behaved and less highlystrung than several of his sire’s stock previously trained in Invercargill. This cocky youngster claims as his dam a mare at one time raced in Southland by Mr W. Baird, who was a very fair galloper. Martifors, to name the matron referred to was sired by Martian from Brave Water, by Stepniak—Whirlpool, by St. George—Waterspite, by Traducer—Waterwitch, by Camden—Mermaid, hence it is safe to say that she was bred in the purple. Martifors is a full sister to Highwater, who also raced well for Mr Baird, and, strangely enough, she is a half-sister to Watercourse (General Symons), whose son Vinegrove, by Tractor, is also an inmate of Rowland’s stable, and has no connection with Moneybox as far as ownership goes. Martifors has already produced a full brother to Moneybox who has won attractively, in Money Mine, who scored in the Dunedin Handicap at the Dunedin J.C.’s Summer meeting, beating two very useful youngsters, in Arrowy and Jericho into the places, while a number of other two-year-olds were unplaced. To the writer’s mind Rowland has charge of a prospective speed merchant in this descendant of Paper Money—Martifors. Patrons of the Riverton Racing Club’s Easter fixtures who travel annually to the seaside turf resort by way of the iron road will be pleased and interested to learn that arrangements are to be made for reaching the course by a short and comfortable route in future from the siding at Otaitai Bush. Instead of taking a circuitous route by way of roads to the extent of over a mile, or clambering through wire fences to cross wet paddocks overgrown by grass and gorse, with swampy spots at intervals a direct path is to be provided from the railway. The president (Dr. Gordon) reported at the monthly meeting of the R.R.C. that he had consulted with the Traffic Manager and Engineer, and laid a proposal before them. He said if the Railway Department were agreeable to erecting a rail-high platform directly opposite the racecourse, he would guarantee that the Club would purchase sufficient land to construct a road through. The officers were favourable to the pro-

posal. The owner of the land was immediately approached, and said he would not stand in the way of the Club, and would put a price on the land. This proposal will bring the railway disembarkation point to within a few minutes direct walk of the racecourse gates in the meantime, but who

is to say that in the days to come the railway itself may not be brought even closer to the popular Western district racing rendezvous, with a platform across the main highway connected with the Club’s property by an overhead passenger bridge, thus doing away with risks to pedestrians from concentrated motor traffic.
