NOTES BY SIR MODRED.

Nelson Trotting Club’s meeting is clue at Greymouth to-day, concluding on Saturday.

South Canterbury Jockey Club s Winter meeting (one day) takes place at Timaru to-morrow.

Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club’s Winter gathering will be concluded on Saturday afternoon.

Southland may be represented at the Victoria Amateur Turf Club meeting at Caulfield to-morrow.

The Sydney turf world will be catered for at the suburban Rosehill racecourse to-morrow.

Paris is engaged to face the solid timber in the V.A.T.C. Wanda Steeplechase on Saturday afternoon.

A number of the progeny of imported Panmure are qualifying with the Birchwood Hunt dogs.

It is anticipated that H. Eastwood will pilot Stceton in her Timaru race on Saturday.

The promising hurdler, Consent, is progressing the right way and may shortly race at Trentham.

Foxton maiden race winner, Amyril, is a half-sister to fast sprinters, Grotesque and Bathos.

H. Rama may race Manawhenva and Taneriri at Wellington R.C.’s Winter meeting in July.

Glenvane, by Weathervane, gave The Tiger a long start when narrowly beaten recently at Foxton.

Maorilander Diamond de Rouge, a recent Sydney winner, is trained by Invercargillite T. A. Williaiks.

Callamart headed the list of winners at Auckland meeting with £1125, Make Up second, £725.

Galloper Ecclefechan has embarked an a jumping career with Birchwood Hunt.

The winner of £16,069 in stake money, Kuvera, by Brazen, cost 270gns as a yearling.

Cupidon, winner of the A.J.C. Derby for the late Mr Greenwood in 1921, is now an active hunter.

The entries for Caulfield Cup total 275 against 273 last year—the record was 308 in 1929.

In the event of all going well, Manawhenua is under orders for Australia for spring racing.

Sunny Sky, who developed lameness prior to Auckland Winter meeting, is working soundly again.

Taneriri, by Antagonist, and halfbrother to Manawhenua, by Acre, may blossom at Trentham.

It is reported that Auckland jumper, Thespis, is to be spelled instead of racing across the Tasman.

There may be support for Polling Day in his battens venture at Timaru to-morrow with V. Langford up.

As Punchestown has been left in the Pukaki Hurdles at Timaru his reported lameness was hardly serious.

H. R. Trilford has engaged his juvenile colt Coonband (Baralong—Golden Cello) in the Melbourne Cup race.

By imported Baralong (Spearmint family) Coonband traces to Golden Slipper, by Multiform—Aura.

It is reported that Orapai and Easter Time, Taranaki horses now in Sydney, are on the private sale list.

The fact that Vinegrove is qualifying with Birchwood Hunt is interesting, as he is a promising jtunpei 1 .

The impression is current in Sydney that it will be difficult to get suitable races for Winooka in U.S.A.

Timaru Herald states that R. Beale will be associated with F. Trilford’s stable until after the National meeting.

As he can go to scale under seven stone, Winooka’s apprentice rider, E. Britt, may gain a hearing in America.

It transpires that Chatelaine, winner of the Oaks Stakes in England, was an outsider at a quarter of a century.

Equipoise, the best handicap horse in America, was in the best of winning form when the last mail to hand left.

It is expected that Winooka and Equipoise will meet in America at Saratoga, over 1 a mile late in August.

The heavy entry lists chronicled for spring handicaps in N.S.W. and Victoria have been welcomed throughout Australian turf circles.

American horse Equipoise, holder of the world’s record for a mile, is owned by the well-known turfite Mr C. V. Whitney.

When Herolage, won the Brisbane Cup (two miles) recently, his success was unexpected to a price of a third of a century.

The fact that Herolage, by Heroic, won a two mile race (Brisbane Cup) is encouraging to the contention that his sire will get stayers.

Magna Charta, who may be stated in ' the Pukaki Hurdles at Washdyke to-morrow, made his last appearance four years ago, when, carrying E. Shaw—his present mentor—and 9.13 he won the Greenfield Hurdles at a D.J.C. fixture.

Interesting entries for the Hack and Hunters’ Steeplechase at the Oamaru J.C’s. Winter meeting include: Night Cap, Antrim Boy, Quinopal and Royal Saxon. Those who noted Antrim Boy’s jumping lesson under V. Langford on the final day at Riverton, will agree that he is worth persevering with as a ’chaser.

As showing the attendances at leading meetings in U.S.A., it is mentioned that 18,000,. one of the largest crowds for several years, witnessed the crack galloper Equipoise win the Philadelphia Handicap al Havre de Grace, Maryland, on April 22.

Maorilander George Price has been wonderfully successful as a trainer since he settled down in Sydney to prepare horses at Randwick and his list of notable Achivements in turning out the winners of important events is steadily growing. To date the exNew Zealand jockey and mentor can claim as his pupils the following horses to earn valuable brackets in N.S.W. and Victoria: Melbourne Cup, with Windbag; Australian Cup, with Carry On; Sydney Cup, with Murray King; and King’s Cup at Flemington, with Kuvera. In addition to the Cup winners enumerated “Stump” Price has trained the winners of many leading classic races, valuable w.f.a. events, and handicaps in abundance.

The three men charged with forging and uttering totalisator tickets at a recent meeting at Randwick (Syd.)

pleaded guilty. One, a commercial artist, was evidently regarded as the leading spirit in the affair, and was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment on each charge. The other two were bound over in £5O to be of good behaviour and appear to receive sentence if called upon within two years.

The champion galloper Bronze Eagle (reports the N.Z. Herald) has made splendid progress during recent weeks, and, in a short sprint with the Whirl-wind-Marriage Bell colt at Takanini on Saturday last, he showed great brilliance. His action is as near to perfection as could be desired, and he now looks more robust than formerly. A. Rhodes has given Bronze Eagle a <ot of attention and it is hoped that he will stand up to his work in future. Everything points to him being better than ever next season, and, all going well, Rhodes will take him to Australia to race. The son of Brazen (imp.)—Torfrida has been engaged in the V.R.C. Melbourne Cup, V.A.T.C Caulfield Cup and Toorak Handicap (Im.), the W.R.C. Williamstown Cup, £2500 (11m.), and other valuable events of the forthcoming spring season in the Commonwealth. Included in his itinerary is the Sydney Epsom Handicap, £2OOO (Im.), an event which should suit him under seasonable poundage conditions.

Five-year-old Redditch, by Red Dennis (imp. by Tredennis) from Kenilworth Queen, who has been elevated to the head of the weights for the V.R.C. Grand National Steeplechase, on July 8, with Mosstrooper, each to carry 12.3, is a noted Victorian hurdler. He has already won well as a ’chaser and it is instructive to note that he is wellbred as a stayer. He was unsuccessful when raced across the flat in Sydney, but found his vocation when later put to the leaping game in Victoria. Like many other turf celebrities on record, Redditch was a cheap yearling and was secured for racing purposes at 75 guineas. He is youthful at five years, as cross-country performers go, but this must be accepted as in his favour, as he is possessed of unimpaired vitality,' and, with ordinary luck, he may presently justify the high estimate in which he is held as a steeplechaser by weight adjusters.

Ranking as a New Zealand representative, when he won the valuable Australian J.C. Derby in a field of 14 away back in 1921 for the late Mr G. D. Greenwood and carrying jockey George Young in his Randwick success, the ex-pupil of the late R. J. Mason, viz., Cupidon, is-now a regular follower of the Birchwood Hunt. That the gelding foaled in 1918 is enduring is not surprising, as he can be written down as a son of a mighty sire, to whit Martian, while his dam, Bebe, was by Bezonian (imp.) from Blue Water, by St. Leger (imp.) from Sapphire (Australia), by The Drummer from Amethyst (imp.). A half-sister to Cupidon will be remembered by Otago _ and Southland racegoers as the sprinting mare Bebehead, by Birkenhead (imp.), who raced as a speedy turf proposition.

To prepare the Invercargill-owned steeplechaser Paris for important events preliminary minor racing is called for, but he should now be well on the way to peak form. Started at Otautau and Riverton prior to leaving home, he has already been competing in suburban company in Melbourne to finish third in a brush cross-country event at Epsom, the result being that he may be called upon very shortly to show of what he is capable over a real Australian jumping course. Inclined to be somewhat temperamental, Paris has to be seasoned to enable him to face stiff fence with credit, while his brother, Taramoa, on the other hand, fakes his racing as all in a day’s business, all country appears alike to him. It was a thousand pities that Taramoa, a fast galloper and a rare type for steeplechasing, should have become afflicted in the breathing apparatus.

An English exchange waxed humorous over Rodosto’s success in the Two Thousand Guineas. After saying that the colt’s French rider, Brethes, unwittingly outraged all traditions .of English jockeyship, it continued: “It is a commonplace for a carter to urge his old horse with an occasional ‘gee-up,’ and for a man out hunting when he is riding into a fence to let off a series of ‘clucks,’ but in the finish of a flat race no jockey ever speaks to his mount. It is no' done. What he may say to him afterwards if he is beaten is another matter.

“In the Guineas, however, Brethes, hearing King Salmon pounding on behind, began shouting at Rodosto, ‘Allez, Allez, Allez!’ (‘Go on’), and he continued this up the hill until he had reached the winning post. Harry Wragg, on King Salmon, could hear this going on and for the life of him could not remember the French equivalent for ‘stop.’

“Now had Wragg been able to shout ‘Arretez, Arretez. Arretez!’ (‘Stop’), it is quite posible that Rodosto, confused by the conflicting exhortations, would have stopped to think what it was all about, and that Wragg would have won, which shows how important it is that jockeys should acquire and have ready at their command a few simple French words.”

(By “Fullback.”) Winton and Dipton meet on SaturPractically the whole of July will be devoted to representative engagements. The senior competition will be brought to a close at the end of the present month. Winton accounted for Hedgehope last week by 23—8, but the scores do not give a very clear indication as to the trend of play. Dipton did not perform up to expectations on Saturday against Limehills, and the blue and whites were successful to the tune of 19—0. “Full-back” has again to draw the local executive’s attention to the matter of referees. If something is not done in the near future local football will be affected considerably. ‘‘Fullback” is well aware of the difficulty experienced in securing referees each week, but while it may not be possible to appoint referees for all games, it would be a wise action to at least appoint referees for senior fixtures. The Winton-Hedgehope game last week was quite an interesting affair, and a good forward game was witnessed. The new playing area at Hedgehope is a considerably improved site and is bound to be responsible for more open football in the style of play of this club’s team. The. win of the Maroons was not as decisive as the scores may indicate, for while Winton was the aggressive side in the first spell, the home team was on top in the second half. In the first spell the Maroon backs opened up play in good fashion, but the movements were not all dangerous and frequently fell through, owing to mishandling.. The Winton vanguard packed well in the early stages and heeled cleanly frequently. Hedgehope played with renewed vigour in the second half, and at one stage looked like overcoming their opponents’ lead. In the Winton rearguard, Souness, behind the scrum, gave a sound display both on attack and defence. He opened up the game as often as possible with good clean passes and was an excellent pivot. Calder was sound as usual, and made some good openings. His excellent handling was quite a feature of his play. Driscoll combined quite effectively when he settled down and should be an acquisition to the maroon side in the second fiveeighth berth. McKenzie,, who came up from the junior ranks owing to the absence of McCurdy, played, quite well and possesses a handy cut-in. Forde, on the wing, was given few opportunities, but he made the most of these, and the try he was responsible for was really a good piece of work. McDougall, on the other wing, was out of position frequently, but a great deal could not be expected as he was taken out of the pack. Walker saved frequent-

ly in the full-back berth and is well worth his position. In the pack Robertson and Boyle were always to the fore in open work, while the goal-kicking of the latter was of really a high standard. Murphy and Chilton (2), were also a trio that accomplished a great deal and packed in a really worth while fashion. G. South was the mainstay of the Hedgehope rear line, and he was responsible for some sound defensive work. His handling was good, while his tackling was particularly solid. Although out of position, J. South played reasonably well, while the work, of Kerr at full-back was quite impressive at times. The remainder of the backs were an ordinary lot. • The pack was a strong one and all its members put heaps of dash into their play. The three McLeod brothers were always to the fore and in tight work especially, they held the pack together. Russell was another that was frequently seen to advantage, while in the open Slocombe also played well. Saturday’s Draw.

Saturday’s draw in the Central district is as follows: Senior: Winton v. Dipton, at Dipton; Hedgehope v. Limehills, at Limehills. Junior: South section, Wrights Bush v. Ryal Bush, at Ryal Bush; Waianiwa v. Mabel Bush, at Mabel Bush. North section, Hokonui v. Winton, at Winton; Limehills v. Femhills, at Femhills; Drummond a bye. Positions Of The Teams.
