NOTES BY SIR MODRED.

Final payments for the New Zealand Cup, Stewards’ Handicap, etc., close on Monday.

Banks Peninsula Racing Club’s Spring fixture will create interest this afternoon.

Wellington Trotting Club’s N.Z. Cup Trial meeting takes place at Hutt Park to-day.

Poverty Bay, Taumaranui and Banks Peninsula galloping clubs hold races to-day.

Acceptances for the New Zealand Trotting Cup will close at noon on Tuesday next

The valuable Moonce Valley Cup (one mile and five furlongs) will be decided to-day.

Compris will be prepared at Calcutta for the Viceroy’s Cup, run at Christmas time.

On his running at Gore, Royal Duke may crop up at southern holiday time meetings.

The Moonee Valley Cup, £2200, has grown steadily in value since the first race (1883).

Last season’s Moonee Valley Cup went to Yarramba, by Spearhead (imported).

America’s retiring crack, Equipoise, has won over 10 furlongs in 2.2 4-5, standing despatch.

The Melbourne Cup meeting opens on Saturday next (November 4) as V.R.C. Derby Day.

Some interest will be aroused by the final payments for the N.Z. Derby on Monday next.

It is contended in the North Island that Southdown (7.1) has a chance in the N.Z. Cup contest.

Nightly was running on in his races at Wellington and may yet hold a Derby chance.

Haere Tonu, by Hunting Song, a winner at Wellington, cost Mr A. Louisson 425 guineas.

Juvenile gelding Haere Tonu (halfbrother to Martian Chief) won his first race at Trentham.

The Taranaki mare, Golden Hair, appears to be galloping well on the Melbourne tracks.

The pacing of several N.Z. Trotting Cup candidates at Wellington to-day will be keenly watched.

Promoted hack Leading Boy raced encouragingly at Gore, but the company was good.

Despite her erratic temperament, Venite, is a useful galloper and may breed on some day.

Roland failed on Tuesday at Gore, but it is safe to say that he will presently go one better.

When he acted as runner-up to Mayam at Gore there was heavy money on tap for Roland.

New South Wales-bred gelding, The Rector, surprised many S.R.C. track touts at Gore.

Salmo Salar raced badly at Gore, but he was handicapped close to very useful performers.

An impression is abroad in the north that Rocket will prove dangerous in the N.Z. Cup.

It is anticipated that Dunedin-owned Southdown will trouble Red Manfred in the N.Z. Derby.

Southdown’s sire, Rampion (Rossendale), was an A.J.C. and V.R.C. Derby winner in the year 1926.

Entries for the Forbury Park Trotting Club’s Spring gathering close on Thursday next (November 2).

New Zealanders Panjandrum, Peter Jackson, Weatherwise and Green Horn, may race in Moonee Valley Cup to- ' day.

Equipment, dam of Cricket Bat, has produced a filly foal to Winning Hit at the Stonyhurst Stud property.

Berate, by Silverado, is galloping well at Riccarton and may race prominently at the New Zealand Cup meeting.

Minerval will he ridden in the New Zealand Cup by H; (“Bert”) Donovan, now an able N.Z. veteran horseman.

Jaloux, who galloped well over a mile and a quarter—last mile in 1.43 2-5— on Thursday will be piloted in the New Zealand Cup by C. Eastwood.

The well-known Auckland jockey, A. Tinker, has been suspended for one month for crossing and careless riding.

Riccarton trainer, F. Christmas, who recently sustained severe injuries by being thrown from a horse, is making satisfactory progress towards recovery.

Latest training reports from Riccarton indicate that the three-year-olds Silvox and Southdown have been galloping impressively.

When Hula Belle returned round about a quarter of a century in G.R.C. Stewards’ Handicap to win, one of her connections held several tickets.

Irish Birdcatcher was the most se-verely-tested galloper at G.R.C. Spring meeting, as he ran two races each day and won at the fourth attempt.

Novice pacer Chevalier, a near relative to the successful Probationer and Sure, displayed pace in his efforts In hopples at the Gore fixture.

Victorian bookmaker, Mr J. A. Phillips, purchased Gaine Carrington outright last season at 2000gns, but only leased his elder half-brother Peter Jackson.

Palermo’s two years - younger brother, Conca d’Oro, was hardly ready at the Gore R.C. meeting and an estimate of his capabilities was not obtainable.

Three gallopers by Some Boy 11. (imp.), viz., Jack a Dandy, Toreador and Totolomai, raced at Gore as if they will win in turn at an early opportunity.

Without including the amusement tax on the gate receipts £7084 3/- was paid in taxation by the Wellington Racing Club at its recent Spring meeting.

Owned in the Western District Ballarina, dam of the winner Acla, by Balboa, has been sent on a visit to the Imported English horse Lord Warden (son of Hurry On and from Hythe, whi traces back to Carbine and the noted mare Memoir, sister to La Fleche, by St. Simon—Quiver, by Toxophilite, sire of Musket). The mare Ballarina is by Boniform from Grasshopper, by Simmer (descendant of St. Simon).

With the end of the flat racing Season in France less than a month

distant, W. R. Johnstone, the Australian jockey, with 70 winners, is prominent in the contest for the honours of beipg France’s champion jockey (says a cable to Australian papers). The French riders Duforez and Rabbe have ridden 75 and 71 winners respectively.

In Ireland bookmakers who offend against the Government’s betting regulations have cause to regret it if. they are caught. Breaches of regulations cost a bookmaker £lOOO at the Cork Court last month. He was fined £5OO on each of eight summonses for issuing betting tickets on which excise duty had not been paid. That meant £4OOO, but each instance the fine was reduced to £125, so he got oil with £lOOO.

An interesting event in th_ Moonee Valley R.C. meeting near Melbourne to-day will see some of the cracks of the season in action when the W. S. Cox Plate, £lOOO, including a trophy valued at £lOO, standard w.f.a., but no allowance to geldings (nine and ahalf furlongs ( comes up for decision. The acceptors include Chatham, Rogilla, Topical, Dermid and Limarch. Apparently, Chatham is not to be permitted to have matters all his own way.

K. Voitre’s successful trip to the Trentham Meeting last week earned him £93 17/- in riding fees. A. H. Eastwood’s share was £67, and H. N. Wiggins’ took £45. The total payments to jockeys amounted to abcut £B5O for the fixture. The fixture extended over three days and K. Voitre rode ten winners.

The highest “place” dividend declared in Victoria since the introduction of the totalisator in that State was secured at Ascot (Melbourne) trotting meeting recently when a lady investor to the extent of a five-shilling ticket secured a dividend of £6l 11/6. There was one investor on the winner each way. Had he won outright, the horse concerned would have been credited with a ‘‘win” return of £ll7 10/6. The five-shilling investment ticket is universal in Melbourne tracks and this privilege may be extended to modest backers in New Zealand when the cobwebs of turf conservatism are swept away.

The announcement that Compris has been sent to Calcutta to be prepared for the Viceroy’s Cup is interesting as disclosing the present whereabouts of the New Zealander, who was accompanied from Ceylon to India’s turf headquarters by Hunter’s Moon, another Maorilander owned by Mr G. T ■ Lyons. Since he reached Colombo Hunter’s Moon has won three out of the four events in which he has competed, while Compris has accounted for two stakes in four starts. The pair are in charge of Sydneyite W. Evans, a great pony meeting rider in his day—personal observation guarantees this fact—he subsequently went over to the horses and won the Melbourne Cup on Apologue (an Aucklander) in 1907.

Despite the fruits of experience, fortthought and attention lavished on his preparation by F. D. Jones, Shatter has evidently failed to stand up to the gaff as a New Zealand Cup candidate, hence his disappearance from the list of eligiblcs. The son of Shambles (imp.) from Windshield has proved a difficult horse to train as he is heavy on top. short in the rein, and generally in conformation does not suggest the true stayer. The Riccarton mentor has afforded Mr H. A. Knight’s gelding every opportunity to season into a desirable Cup entrant, but Shatter has persistently neglected to answer expectations, although he has raced well on occasions, even up to one mile and a half—he was unplaced in last season’s N.Z. Cup, when piloted by L. J. Ellis.

It is understood that the Invercargill team, now under the control of F. J. McKay in Melbourne, will remain in Australia until the Autumn campaign has been disposed of or thereabouts. Under the circumstances, the youthful gallopers of the string will be afforded ample time to catch up on their Australian rivals with regard to furnishing—as a rule, young thoroughbreds produced in Southland require time to reach maturity, but when they reach this stage they invariably last longer than the great majority of gallopers and jumpers foaled in the north or the Commonwealth.

In the Novice Handicap at Gore on Monday last the Riverton-trained juvenile gelding. Golden Lap, displayed galloping ability by the way, but failed to see the journey- out, as he raced somewhat greenly. Owned and trained by R. McKay, he is by Woodend (imp.) from Divinial (half-sister to Charlatan and Punchestown), by Saxby (imp.) from Divinia, by Sylvia Park from Mongonui, by Carbine from Moonga, by Goldsborough from Kernel, by Angler from Cocoanut (imp.), a pedigree that savours of staying blood throughout his maternal line, while several of his early close relations could jump hurdles or race between the flags to advantage. On his dam’s side, he must be one of the few near relatives of Carbine racing in Maoriland.

Gaine Carrington will henceforth appear in turf history as the first New Zealand-bred horse to earn a winning bracket in the Caulfield Cup since 1909, when the Maorilander Aborigine (by Merriwee, Australian-bred) ran a dead-heat with Blue Book—Lady Medallist, who scored in 1911, was bred in N.S.W., raced in New Zealand, and sold again to an Australian to win, as detailed. Another New Zealand winner to be joined with Gaine Carrington on the list was Maianui (Malatua), who won in 1908 for the late Mr D. O'Brien, who took the noted Carbine to Australia to pass him on to Mr D. S. Wallace, of Victoria, at 3000gns., and the latter subsequently sold him to the Duke of Portland for export to England at 13,000gns.

Bred in N/w Zealand from the stoutest of families, a winner turned up in West Australia on October 14. This was Don Quixote, who accounted for Tattersall’s Purse (one mile and a quarter) at Tattersall’s Club meeting, in Perth, starting as first fancy and winning by a head from 17 rivals. Bred by Mr H. M. Reeves, of Canterbury, Don Quixote was sired by Paladin (imp.) from Hornbeam, by Martian from Stephanie, by Stepniak from Farma, by Maxim (a son of Musket, who afterwards made his mark at the stud in the United States) from Hermoine, by Cadogan from Helena, by Traducer from Strenua (imp.) Here is a New Zealand stayer’s pedigree in almost every name, except that his dam, Hornbeam, was nothing to write home about as a racehorse. Imported Paladin, it may be claimed with truth, has already demonstrated the fact that his Polymelus blood is valuable in this country for long distance work.

WINOOKA IN HANDICAP. RACE TO-DAY AT LAUREL. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) New York, October 26. A message from Laurel states that Mr R. Naylor informed the Australian Press Association that Winooka had been entered for the six furlong Westover Handicap here to-morrow for a purse of 1000 dollars, for all ages. Other entries and weights are: Curacoa 8.6, Springsteel 8.8, de Valera 7.8, Hope To Do and Bandwagon each 7.10. It is interesting to note that the latter two belong to Admiral Grayson, exPresident Wilson’s personal physician. Winooka will carry top weight, 9st. If Winooka’s showing is justified he will be entered for the six furlongs 2,500 dollar Baltimore Handicap on November 10 at Pimlico which race will decide definitely the continuance or cancellation of the tour and if his rehabilitation is sufficiently marked it may revive the Equipoise race on November 7. WEDNESDAY’S RACE. NO ILL EFFECTS. (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 7.10 p.m.) Baltimore, October 26. Winooka came out of Wednesday s race in good condition, according to his trainer, M. Polson. He was short of racing condition and they have decided to give him plenty of work. “I know Winooka can do much better,” he said. WAS DEFEAT JOCKEY’S FAULT? (United Press Assn—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 8.10 p.m.) Baltimore, October 26. Some experts attribute Winooka’s poor showing in part to the apparent stage fright of the jockey, E. Britt, who is not familiar with the ways and style of American jockeys. The consensus of opinion is that Winooka will give a vastly superior display on Friday. BOXING AMATEUR TOURNAMENT AT RIVERTON. The amateur boxing tournament to be held at Riverton on Monday night promises to be a successful one. Entries have been received from well-known boxers, including W. Campbell, R. Dick, R. Neame, M. Sheehan, J. Taylor, V. Davis, R. Russell, L. Gaines and F. Villa. The novice class should provide good fare, as the lads generally fight hard throughout their bouts. The proceeds of the tournament are for the funds of the Riverton Progressive League, so the local people are sure to roll up in large numbers. TENNIS > WINTON CLUB.
