NOTES BY SIR MODRED.

Avondale Jockey Club’s Autumn meeting will be brought to a close on Wednesday. Entries for the Forbury Park Trotting Club’s Winter meeting are due on Monday, April 16. Acceptances for the Ashburton Trotting Club’s Autumn meeting (April 14) are due this evening. The Reefton Jockey Club’s Autumn fixture (one day) will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. Master Brierly is looked upon in Auckland as the best stayer at present in Maoriland. As a two, three and four-year-old Master Brierly has won ten races for £2635 in stakes. When raced in the North Island Haulbowline was a sprinter; now he wins over ten furlongs. Winooka won A.J.C. Doncaster Handicap with 9.13, Chatham has scored with a 10.4 burden. Both Winooka and Chatham are by Windbag, a son of the New Zealand mare Charleville. It is reported that Takapuna J.C. is making a move to hold future meetings on Auckland R.C. tracks. The crack filly, Golden Hair, will probably pay a return visit to Australia in the spring. Reported that flat racer Richfield is being schooled at Hawera for racing over hurdles. The Egmont Racing Club’s meeting, on May 2 and 3, will open North Island cross-country season. Australia’s champion miler, Chatham, is prepared at Randwick tracks by F. Williams. Although he has been beaten in their country, Australians are satisfied with Golden Wings. As he is only a youthful sprinter (syrs) Golden Wings may return to do better in Australia. The King’s Cup winner of last week, Rogilla, is descended on his dam’s side from Musket. The form of the weight-for-age performers in Melbourne and Sydney this season has been mixed. Crack galloper Rogilla was sired by Roger de Busli (imp. by Hurry On) from St. Genevieve. St. Genevieve (dam of Roger de Busli) was by St. Amant, by St. Frv.squin), a son of St. Simon. It is reported that Cricket Bat has been sent to his owner’s Stonyhurst paddocks for a spell. Pacer Blonde, winner of three races at Hawera T.C. meeting, is the first of Jack Potts’ progeny to score. The Southland-bred pacing mare. Probationer, raced badly at Addington at Easter. Quietly, who has been racing well on the West Coast, is by Chief Ruler from Timid (imp.). Indications point to the Waimate Racing Club’s postponed meeting on April 19, being successful. Capris, a winner at Auckland Easter meeting, gave imported Captain Bunsby his first sire success. A succession of accidents and mishaps on its course caused Takapuna J.C. to propose racing on A.R.C. track. R. Drinkwater, who has been riding with success on the West Coast (5.1.), served his apprenticeship with the well-known Taranaki trainer R. Johnson. Masterton R.C. objected to Stratford R.C. holding a meeting on April 14, and now the former club has abandoned its fixture on that date for lack of entries. Steps are being taken to popularize and win recognition for the light harness sport on the West Coast of the North Island, where the turf has been languishing of late. It is an open secret that more than one southern club’s official are concerned as to the supply of crosscountry performers available for winter meetings. Put aside during his early career as not beyond picnic meeting class, Rogilla has developed into one of the best stayers and sprinters in the Commonwealth. Ex-New Zealander J. T. Jamieson has to be classed as unlucky in owning a brilliant horse like Closing Time in the days of Chatham and other champions. On eight fine days out of ten racing dates this season Canterbury J.C. totalisator returns have mounted up under win and place betting. The total was £52,176 more than the previous year. Enough said! While the Aucklander, Master Brierly, is claimed to be the best stayer in New Zealand—he is certainly a great weight-carrier—he has yet to win over two miles. Has it been forgotten that Palantua, who is still on deck, set an Australasian two-mile record when she won the N.Z. Cup in November last, or that Minerval won the Auckland Cup (two miles) during the Christmas term of the current season? For some time past useful jumper Apache has been getting through steady exercise on the Southland Racing Club’s tracks, and as he has been moving soundly it is on the cards that he will be shipped to Melbourne shortly to join up with Mr W. T. Hazlett’s string in commission at Mentone. The son of Solferino from Directoire is getting up in years, as he was foaled in 1921, but he would be a valuable schoolmaster in Victoria in the event of Mr Hazlett deciding to have several members of his team, such as Irish Chieftain, educated for winter jump- ’ ing stakes there. An Easter conference of delegates from the Hawera, Wanganui, Manawatu and Wanganui Trotting Clubs practically decided upon a list of circuit dates for 1935, the fixtures leading to a Wellington T.C. gathering as a concluding meeting. The conference also decided upon the formation of a West Coast Trotting Circuit Council and a chairman was elected, while it was agreed that the council should consist of a chairman and a committee* of four members, each club appointing its own delegate and having the right to elect a substitute from ti»e Io time. It was suggested that the aims and objects of the new body embrace: clubs, bringing about (1) closer co-operation in all trotting matters; (2) devising ways and means of popularizing trotting along the coast; (3) aiming at the improvement of our respective meetings and the ultimate attainment of a standard

nearer that of the larger centres; (4) arranging an Easter circuit similar to that of this year or other such circuit as may be deemed advisable; (5) discussing other factors that must essentially arise from time to time for the mutual benefit of all concerned; (6) deciding on the venue for subsequent conferences. The two-year-old colt Sylvandale, who achieved the feat of winning the Fernhill Handicap at the A.J.C. meeting at Randwick on Saturday, incidentally defeating the New Zealandbred colt Theo, by Limond—Mirabelle 11, and sixteen other runners, races in the colours of a Sydney lady owner, who claims the assumed cognomen of “Miss Lorna Doone.” The win of Sylvandale is described as a feat by reason of the fact that he carried 8.11 in a contest decided over one mile, an unusual test for two-year-olds in Australia and New Zealand—this event was won last season by the Maorilandbred colt Blixten, by Night Raid—Receipt, carrying 9.1 in 1.40|. Saturday’s winner ran the distance in 1.39 J. Sylvandale is a son of the imported English horse Silvius, by Silvern (son of Polymehis) from Addenda, by Spearmint (son of Carbine) from Admiration (dam of famous mare Pretty Polly). This staying youngster, who has raced well this season in Sydney, is also well-bred on the female side, as his dam is the imported English mare La Bergeronnette, by Poor Boy (son of Perth II) from Strathglass, by Isinglass from Hush, by Hermit. It will be interesting to see how Sylvandale stands up to his juvenile career next season following on a trying mile test at this stage of his career. So far, Blixten, last season’s winner, has trained on and it is reported that he has been supported for next season’s coveted Centenary Melbourne Cup. The New Zealander Theo (Limond), who acted as runner-up in the Fernhill Handicap, cost Mr E. Moss 650 guineas at last season’s Trentham Yearling Sales, and he, too, has raced well in Sydney youngster events of late. There was a field of eighteen two-year-old starters on Saturday. At a conference of North Island West Coast trotting club representatives, held at Hawera at Easter time, the meeting was unanimously of the opinion that efforts should be made to secure considerable reductions in the cost of transport of horses, and it was resolved to forward the following remit to the Trotting Conference: “That the conference appoints a deputation to wait on the chairman of the Railway Board with the object of having traffic rates on horses amended to similar rates to those that apply to A. and P. Societies for the transport of S|tock; further to discuss with him facilities to carry three or more horses in H. trucks as required, and such other matters in regard to transport that may arise out of the discussion.” Master Brierly is one of the first of the progeny of the Stedfast horse Musketoon, who won races up to 11 miles (remarks an Auckland scribe) and he descends from the famous Mermaid taproot, through a branch (Cascade) that has not had particular success in recent years. His dam Lady Brierly was by Archiestown from Ko Iwi (dam also of the jumper Pouri), by Demosthenes from the The Boyne (dam of the Wellington Cup winner Rewi Poto), by Merriwee. It looks quite a fair staying pedigree and so it is proving itself. Master Brierly was bred by Mr R. B. Hines, of Te Aroha, who had Musketoon at his stud, and he is held on lease by Mr M. J. Moodabe, for whom he is trained at Ellerslie by R. S. Bagby, who does only a little riding nowadays owing to increasing weight but who was on him and handled him splendidly in his two engagements last week-end. Bing Brierly, a two-year-old winner this season, is a half-brother to him by King Lu. During the course of a conference of North Island West Coast delegates at Easter, representing Hawera, Wanganui, Manawatu, and Wanganui Trotting Clubs, the meeting received a visit of about 25 owners and trainers attending the Hawera Trotting Club’s fixture, who were present by invitation. The chairman stated that they had been asked to attend to submit any suggestions they might have for the furtherance of the light harness sport. The visitors brought up the question of the cost of railway transit for horses, and declared in favour of the drawing for places taking place prior to the meeting, and being published in the official programme. In reference to betting systems, owners and trainers were unanimous that clubs should revert to the old system of betting on the . totalisator—single-pool and two dividends. CANTERBURY RACING NEWS. ASHBURTON TROTTING INTERESTS. THE BAILIFF’S PROSPECTS. GOOD LONE RAIDER. NOTES BY THE ROOK. (Special to the Times). Riccarton, April 9. With the meeting over at Riccarton, most of our trainers, and all our horsemen left at once for the West Coast. In consequence there is very little doing at headquarters. The interest of racing people is now centred upon the Ashburton T.C. meeting and the doings of Walla Walla and Auburn Lad down there. The scratches Walla Walla got on a front leg in his second race at Addington proved to be almost negligible and he is in strong work. He is to be sent along at Addington early this week. Needless to say there will be large crowds on the Metropolitan grounds all next week on the off chance of seeing the Australian champions in action. J. B. Pearson took four horses over to the West Coast. He has won a couple of races but bad luck pursued him as Proscenium and Maroha got galloped on and Fair Weather failed to race up to expectations. The small and many turned tracks do not suit her. The Bailiff was not entered for the Brush Steeplechase on the second day at Riccarton. This was an oversight on the part of his people as in the race the first day wherever Bell Hill finished The Bailiff would have been with him. A natural jumper The Bailiff is worth remembering. He ran a close third in the Kildare Steeplechase. It being his first start in a jumping race he was kept out at every fence so that he got a fair sight. This of course meant that he covered considerably more ground than Fleeting Glance and Bell Hill who were always close to the rails. H. Nurse took the Hunting Song gelding Scratchmere Scar to the West Coast. He was expected to race well and he did for he was second only half a head away. The name Scratchmere Scar appears to be strange to New Zealanders. It is appropriate however as it is the name of a place in the north of England where hounds met in John Peel’s days. Mr J. H. Grigg took Punchestown home after the C.J.C. Easter meeting. When the gelding pulled up lame after running in the Kildare Steeplechase his owner scratched him for his engagement on the second day. It is thought that the trouble is in his feet.

The running in the Forty-Second Challenge Stakes proved beyond argument that our two-year-olds are not champions this season. Silver Ring 9.10 won in a canter from Custodian 7.1, with The Masquerader 9.4 inches away, but clear of Variant. Had The Masquerader not lost several lengths after going two furlongs he would have made Silver Ring do a little bit better.

He was last at the distance post. With a good run he and Silver Ring would have been well clear of Custodian.

Custodian has done so well during the last month that he is now booked to go to Australia with Nightly in the Spring. When he gets over his “climbing” habits 1? will be a high-class galloper. Silver Ring has finished racing for this season, that is as far as New Zealand is concerned. Nothing definite is known as to his movements, but it can be taken as read that he will go to Australia for the Spring meetings if the trip can possibly be arranged. ’’ The brilliant Croupier is a thing of the past as far as racing is. concerned. He can gallop as fast as he ever could, but he cannot carry on now. His wind trouble is very bad, and anyone does not need to strain their ears when on one side of the course and he is on the other to hear him.

Gaysome can gallop just as fast as most horses, much faster than many. In at the minimum she will always hold her own in races up to a mile, but every pound she is raised above the minimum stops her more and more. Vintage, Polydora and Sweet Agnes are still on the easy list and are likely to be for some time.

Hurlingham’s second to Copyist in the Templeton Handicap was a meritorious performance. He could not go the pace set by Cranford and Copyist in the early stages. As is customary in such cases the inevitable happened and he was soon a bad last. Still in the rear when the straight was entered he then put in a strong and well sustained run that got him second money, but he never looked to have a chance of reaching Copyist, who was handled to perfection by A. Russell. Lone Raider was easily the best hack seen out at Riccarton on Monday and Tuesday. An easy going customer he is a very nice gelding to look at. A chestnut he has size and shows quality. It is doubtful if there is a hack in New Zealand that could hold its own with the six-year-old son of The Raider and Meroz. He is just the type that might win a Winter Cup in a jog. Rebel Star is a hack with plenty of speed, but he is not in the same class as Lone Raider. That he can gallop fast over a short course there is no doubt, but it is doubtful if he will ever see out a distance successfully, also he has a doubtful-looking knee. Five minutes before the machine closed for the Gimcrack Handicap Rebel Star was paying a royal price. When he won many of his supporters thought that they were getting a nice dividend and were thunderstruck when a dividend a little bit larger than even money was posted up. The reason was that almost at the last minute four hundred tickets were rung up on each machine. Quietly raced so very well each start at Riccarton that she was selected as a really good bet on the West Coast by stay at home punters, who will collect in due course.

Royal Amphora continues to do well. He is in rare health. Big and muscular he is galloping with great freedom and there are many who consider that he will be very hard to beat even in the open company that he has to race with now. He may do so but it must be remembered that this gelding has to be kept fresh and well to give of his best. He will not stand tightening up. It is hard to win in open company with such a gelding. Argentic did not look right at the races and he does not look himself now. He ran as his looks predicted he would. When right Argentic is a good class horse, but the job of keeping him right is a difficult one. He goes to pieces quickly and for no apparent reason. The only conclusion that can be arrived at about him is that the gelding is unfortunate enough to have an unknown internal weakness. Cricket Bat raced so much below his correct form at the Easter meeting that it was evident he is right off colour. He has been sent to Stonyhurst for a good spell. Ranelagh who ran a sterling race into third nlace in the Great Autumn Handicap is having a short let up. The racing Tout le Monde had last week has on looks done him a lot of good. It has cleaned him up, and never before has he looked as well as at present. He should be hard to beat next time out, and he should be a good bet the first time he races on a wet day. Great Star looked well at the races but in neither of his preliminary canters did he move freely. The best he could do in the Great Easter Handicap was to get fifth, he and Gaysome finished together. In the Great Autumn Handicap he and Cricket Bat whipped in the field. He worked well prior to the meeting. Davolo is another gelding that was not himself at the Easter meeting. He did not look himself. A very speedy gelding he has been racing over journeys that evidently don’t suit him. Sprinting not middle distances is his game. A RACING ROMANCE. MARE PAYS OFF MORTGAGE. BRILLIANT WALTZING LILY. MELBOURNE’S TURF IDOL. On March 29 ended the association—at any rate for a time—of the trainer S. Smith and that idol of Melbourne racing crowds, Waltzing Lily. His lease of the mare expired on Good Friday and she was sent to the country for a spell by her owner, Mr P. J. C. Einsiedel. A romance of racing is the story of Smith and Waltzing Lily. Smith grew up among horses. The first he ever owned he purchased when he was thirteen years of age in a suburban saleyards. For a long time he made a living breaking in horses rejected by the mounted police to be women’s hacks and light vehicle horses. Then he bought a taxi, but things did not prosper for him and his fortunes were at their lowest ebb when the unknown Waltzing Lily was brought under his notice. A friend persuaded him to take a trip to the country to look at some horses. After some hesitation, Smith thought that “I can rake up the 9/9 fare and I’ll go.” He saw the despised Waltzing Lily whom nobody wanted and took a great fancy to her. “I thought she had a beautiful shoulder, a nice wide forehead and a lovely mild eye,” explained Smith. A lease of the mare was given to Smith and he took her to his place at Caulfield. “One time,” relates Smith, “we had only a couple of bob in the house and the mare got that. She was fed first.” “You are a poor man,” Smith was told by his friends. “You do not want to have a horse like that.” But to Smith had come. high hopes and he foresaw the mare paying off the mortgage on his house. Waltzing Lily soon began to pay her way. Her diet then including the best New Zealand oats and hay cost about £4 a week. —£7524 in Two Years.— For Smith, the mare won eleven races and £7524 in stakes, of which the owner (Mr Einsiedel) received onethird Waltzing Lily has lifted the mortgage on Smith’s house. She has set his feet well on the path to prosperity, and she has done many a good turn to his relatives and friends. Now she is holiday-making for a couple of months and Victorian racing folk are wondering whether when her spell is over she will return to the charge of Smith or not. The name of H. Leek, who won the Australian Cup last month with Heroic Prince, has been mentioned as the. possible future trainer of the mare.

—Her Little Ways.— Smith found that gentle as Waltzing Lily is, she has her own ways. She does not like the brush —she was always prepared with towels. She cannot bear being “roused at”; it upsets her for the day. On race days, she would lie down and rest in her stall until it was time to go. Then Smith would say, “Come on, old girl, off you go to the races.” As stated earlier, she is an idol of the Victorian racing public. On the course, women would beg to be allowed to pat her, and her stall was always surrounded by admirers. MARTON JOCKEY CLUB. AUTUMN MEETING. WEIGHTS DECLARED. (Per United Press Association.)
