SPORTING

NOTES BY SIR MODRED The Marlborough R.C.’s Autumn meeting opens at Trantham to-day and concludes on Monday. Ashburton Trotting Club is expected to conduct an exceptionally interesting Autumn meeting to-day. Handicaps for the first day of the Forbury Park Trotting Club’s Winter fixture are due on Monday. Acceptances for the Wellington Trotting Club's meeting, to be held on Saturday next, will close on Tuesday. Owners are reminded that acceptances for the first day of the South Canterbury J.C.’s Autumn meeting close on Tuesday. The beating administered by Circulation ♦o Overhaul m the Riverton Cup was not Conclusive as the latter met serious interference. Many critics will not admit that Satrap is the best three-year-old in New Zealand, but the Paladin gelding has proved his case. The Panmure mare, Mandane, has become solid this season and her score to date includes three valuable winning efforts. From information to hand it is evident that quite a number of Southland-bred youngsters are to be tried out next season. The Australian-bred two-year-old filly, Miss Joycie, in J. McChesney’s stable is still growing and will be a tall daughter of Bernard. Nukumai, one of most versatile performers in Maoriland and one of the best, is in steady work ,under A. Wright on Foxton tracks. It is reported from the Manawatu district that the winning flat racing mare, Capitulation, by Panmure, is to be tried over the battens. The downfall of Trivalve at Randwick caused consternation in Melbourne racing circles, but at latest advice no tangible reason was advanced. The added money for the Caulfield Cup during the new season will be £6500, and the winning owner will receive a trophyvalued at £l5O. The winning trainers’ list up to the close of last week read:—G. W. New 34 wins. J. T. Jamieson and C. Gieseler 27 each, and F. W. Ellis next with 24 successes. Up to Thursday of last week the Riccarton horseman, C. Emerson, was eighteenth on the winning jockeys’ list with 20 wine —a lowly position for a rider of his ability. At the Dunedin J.C.’s June meeting the Otago Steeplechase will be worth £5lO, as com pared with £6OO last season. Other stakes at the leading meeting of the season at Wingatui have also been reduced. The head-liners in the winning jockeys’ list up to April 12 were:—T. Green 62, A. E. Ellis 58, R. Reed 48, L. G. Morris 39, A. E. Didham 39, L. J. Ellis 37, B. H. Morris 34, H. Wiggins 33, and B. H. Brodie 31. It is reported that the steeplechaser, Scamp, will not be submitted for sale as recently announced, but will remain in the stable from which he was produced to win good races last season. The Riccarton-trained Thorndale will be strongly followed by his home province admirers at Timaru next week, but he will find Overhaul a thorn in his path if produced in his Riverton form. Local mentor, F. W. Ellis, will take Queen Balboa and King Balboa to the South Canterbury J.C.’s Autumn meeting and the pair may pay expenses, as both have recovered from the effects of strenuous exertions at Riverton.

Ranking as one of the most enduring horses in the land under infirm conditions, Baldowa tottered out for a five-furlong spin with Solzia on Thursday, yet beat his rival with ease and came home with his ears pricked. His four successive winning essays of late have not adversely effected steeplechaser Greenstone, who has been getting through useful tasks on the Southland Racing Club’s tracks during the past few days. After being boxed for the return railway journey to Invercargill following on the Riverton R.C. meeting Solzia was the victim of a shunting mishap. The Solferino gelding was cut about the head and his attendant was temporarily knocked out. The useful little gelding in G. Hope’s stable is recovering, however, and is in regular work. Solzia had a rough time in the seaside district, where he fell in the Riverton Gold Cup race, suffered from indifferent riding on more than one occasion, and finally struck trouble on the railroad. The North Island Jockey, A. H. Dricoll, who is to leave New Zealand this week to occupy a retained position in West Australia, ranks as a cabable horseman. During the current season he has been seen out in the saddle for a dozen winning rides. A well-known Maorilander Is thus referred to by a Melbourne writer:—“George Delaney, the trainer of the Easter Cup winner at Williamstown (Vic.), Sun Morn, has been associated with racing for 34 years. Originally as a jockey and later as a trainer, Delaney has gained many big racing sue cesses. He is a native of Auckland, N.Z., and began his turf career in W. Edward’s stable at Hawke’s Bay. Since he came to Melbourne Delaney has trained the winners of numerous good races. He had Tookarby early in his career, and frequently scored with that good stayer. He won nine races with the celebrated De Gama, who was the first horse to break 1.40 for a mile at Flemington. Delaney trained Sea Pink for his successes in the V.A.T.C. Anniversary Handicap and the Hobart Cup.”

During the past week a rising three-year-old youngster has made his reappearance on the local tracks as a member of G. Hope’s string. This refers to Red Boa who classes as a full brother to Baldowa and on looks there is very little room for doubt about this fact. In his make-up there is the same dark chestnut coat, two white stockings behind, short powerful limbs in front, a body equal to carrying real weight, a similar-shaped head, with a white-blazed face, and a general look of Baldowa that is convincing. Away from the tracks in stable quarters it is just the same, the younger brother posaeses the characteristics of his elder relative, who has also taught him to open gates and unlatch stable doors. Red Boa has furnished and developed in a striking fashion since he was broken in and handled by R. McKay in the spring and it now remains to be seen if he poseeses the galloping ability of Baldowa. As against this it may be mentioned that he sprinted with quickstriding progressive action when tried out in his first sprints and his connections have thus been encouraged to believe that he will make good in the ordinary course of events.

At the time of writing it is understood that Celerity 11. will not be a starter at the South Canterbury J.C. Autumn meeting, as 9.9 does not read attractively over ten furlongs in the Timaru Cup, but J. A. Rowland may take Flying Mist and MoneyMint to Timaru, as both are well at present and the even Washdyke track should suit their styles of galloping.

The first youngsters to be educated for the incoming season from Endeavour Lodge are now occupying a considerable amount of attention on the part of J. A. Rowland. The gallopers to be comprise a well-grown and good-mannered colt by Tea Tray from an imported English mare, and a sturdy filly by Some Boy II from Joan. The Tea Tray colt, who cost 325gns at the January sales in Wellington, claims Santaline as his dam.

Now that the sting is out of the ground the one-eyed Doleful Ditty has come into his own and R. McKay has him in great heart. The descendant of Kilboy is being kept up to the collar and should be seen at his best when the three-days’ Winter fixture at Wingatui comes up for decision.

The master of Endeavour Lodge is vpersevering with the upstanding three-year-old gelding, Redenui, the result being that the son of Paladin is growing into a commanding horse. At the present time Redenui is not noted for speed on the tracks, but he is always improving and may finish into a very useful horse next year when he has been seasoned and roused to a sense of what is required of him.

Celerity II is working along steadily on the S.R.C. tracks and it is evident that she can be turned out in short order for racing purposes if necessary. Her future

programme has yet to be decided upon, but it may be decided to keep her in hand to prepare for the D.J.C. June fixture.

At his wits end to find a name for a youngster in his possession a Melbourne owner has invented a cognomen for his filly by Paper Money, a rising two-year-old purchased in New Zealand some, time ago. He has named the filly Elessdee, a variation of £ s. d. This at least has the virtue of originality. Elessdee is reported to look like a smart galloper in the making. It may be said that £ s. d. invariably proves to be elusive and speedy of movement.

Cupid’s Dart lightened up during her severe campaign at the Riverton R.C. meeting and her trainer, A. McKenzie, is busy nursing her back to normal on the local tracks. She has displayed some improvement during the past week and may be produced to run well again before th’ present season closes. Arrowy, who proved a disappointment from the same stable— Rorke’s Drift Lodge—has been thrown out of training and will be given time to furnish prior to again becoming a regular track worker. It is understood that the brilliant galloping mare. Glentruin, is unmistakably with foal to the imported English horse, Woodend, by Lemberg, who is also owned by Mr A. Chisholm, of Otautau. Glentruin was not unduly taxed during her racing career -Mr Chisholm holds strong views in this direction—and as a result she should develop into a very valuable and successful matron. Mares who are solidly raced and kept in training for lengthy periods very often prove failures at the stud in consequence, but Glentruin will not be called upon to produce under such exacting circumstances. When F. W. Ellis returns from the South Canterbury J.C. Autumn meeting the week after next he will take in hand a younger half-brother to the defunct galloper and jumper, Jack o' Lantern. The gelding referred to is a son of Some Boy II and Eight Bells and may be placed as a particularly well-grown youngster. He is an even-tempered customer and does not appear to possess the moody characteristics that very often stood in the way of success where "Jacko” was concerned. Apache appears to have been improved as the result of his racing at the Otautau, Invercargill, and Riverton meetings, while several stern contests have not apparently troubled Latin Quarter and the pair are getting through steady work on the S.R.C. tracks. Latin Quarter is a very sensible juvenile and canters in his daily round like an aged and sober racehorse, a fact which must serve to give his small rider every confidence in his studies to become a proficient horseman in the great turf game. It was recently announced from South Australian by the cableman that a jockey had been found guilty and punished for using an electric battery on a racehorse in rhat State. The following extract from a Melbourne journal appears to apply to the case:—“Some time ago a boy was found with a battery in his possession just before going to the post in a race at Port Adelaide. Just as L. Jacques, who has been a wellknown rider in Adelaide for some time, was about to Mount Bowalla, an ex-Sydney gelding, in the Laura Cup, the steward in charge of the meeting approached Jacques. The steward conducted a search of the jockey, and it is alleged that he found a battery on rhe boy. The stewards returned a verdict of life disqualification on Jacques. Bowalla was just beaten into second place under a big weight. It is stated that a resident of the Western district owns two well-bred mares who might be purchased reasonably for stud purposes. The elder appears to be Nape Nape, by Sunny Lake—Aphala, by Stepniak —Britomart, by Gorton —Lady Gertrude, while the younger matron is returned as a daughter of Tractor and Nape Nape. Both are claimed to be in foal to the imported English horse, Woodend, by Lemberg, who found favour with southern breeders during the past season. A bland Chinese went to the selling window at Ellerslie during the Easter meeting, and asked for two tickets on a certain number. The lady attendant issued the two little pieces of card, but the purchaser, glancing at the number refused to take them, declaring that he had requested tickets on another horse. Argument followed, but was ended by another Chinese in the queue, who exclaimed, **All li,’ missie, me takee ’em; might be lucky.” His expectation was borne out by the collection of nearly £BO for the two rejected tickets of his countryman.” A Sydney cable message, dated April 20, states that the pacing stallion Sheik, by Bonnie Chief—Francesca, has been sold to a West Australian buyer for racing there. Sheik was owned and raced in New Zealand for some time by P. Riddle, who subsequently returned to Sydney to train gallopers for a well-known N.S.W. breederowner. When raced in this country Sheik won the New Zealand Trotting Cup of 1914, off the 36yds mark to the tune of 4.25 4-5.

The writer on thoroughbred breeding and racing in a northern weekly journal has on several occasions referred to Panmure as a stud failure, but he will find it difficult to explain the fact that the progeny of the English horse have accounted for wellknown classic events, Enthusiasm (Great Northern Oaks and New Zealand Derby, N.Z. Oaksi, Mandane (N.Z. Oaks) and Prickles (C.J.C. Champagne Stakes), while many sires afforded more chances to distinguish themselves have so far failed to beget even a single classic winner. The northern scribe has also ignored the fact that during the current season the eight or nine descendants of Panmure racing have won eighteen races and recorded an exceptional number of second placings. Among the winners for the family this season may be mentioned: Mandane (3), Panorama (5), Prickles (1), Scrambler (2), Quarterdeck (2), Capitulation (3) and Ardfinnan (2). There are more descendants of Panmure to come and then the future of his female progeny at the stud will have to be considered before any writer who gives the subject due consideration can talk glibly about “a stud failure.” In the meantime Panmure Is very much alive and his young stock bred in Southland promise to carry on their sire’s line to advantage.

The Wairarapa Racing Club made a profit of £460 over the Easter meeting, as against last year. The club has a credit of £2,400. At a meeting of the stewards (reports the Lyttelton Times Masterton correspondent) Mr W. E. Bidwell (the president) said that he felt sure that extra days for racing granted by the Govern-

ment to clubs all over New Zealand were having a bad effect on the q|d-established clubs, and would continue to have this effect. "There is too much racing in the Dominion altogether, ’ he said. Surely Mr Bidwell does not suggest that racing should be confined to old-established clubs and that progressive districts with growing populations like Southland should have their racing rights restricted ? Mr Bidwell’s remarks would be more convincing if he expressed the opinion that some of tne days set apart for old-established clubs were taken away and handed over to clubs in localities where they have become a necessity. He may not have meant it, but Mr Bidwell’s remarks savour of vested interest and a desire to ignore the claims of enthusiastic sportsmen in growing districts to a place in the sun. It is quite a common thing for gentlemen of Mr Bidwell’s conservative class to proclaim that there is too much racing, but there is no known instance, as far as the writer can remember, of these self-same gentlemen proposing to curtail their own long-enjoyed privileges in favour of the other fellow.

The Otago-owned pacer, Jolly Jet, is reported to be getting through satisfactory and solid work at New Brighton and he is expected to race well at Ashburton and Forbury Park.

In view of the South Canterbury J.C. Autumn meeting next week it is interesting to learn from the Christchurch Press that at Riccarton on Thursday morning Don Jose, Thorndale and Assurance attracted some attention when they went out to gallop seven furlongs. They were all going well at the end of half a mile, but Don Jose then drew away gradually, beating his mates very decisively over the last part of the journey. The time was the best of the morning over the distance and the performance of Don Jose was a good one. ASHBURTON TROTTING CLUB. ACCEPTANCES FOR TO-DAY.
