NOTES BY SIR MODRED. The Wellington Racing Club’s Summer gathering will be concluded today. The opening event at Timaru Trotting Club meeting is due at 12.30 p.m.

Acceptances for the Tapanui Racing Club’s Annual fixture are due on Wednesday.

Valuable events will be decided at the A.J.C. Anniversary meeting to-day and on Monday.

The fact that Takapuna J.C. races at Ellerslie track to-day will attract Aucklanders.

Agriflora, winner of W. A. Goodwood Handicap (IJm.) is by Maoriland sire Agrion.

Leading Sydney horseman J. O’Sullivan recently had a wrist fractured when thrown.

Forbuiy Park T.C. Summer fixture is due on Thursday and Saturday of next week.

Entries are due on Tuesday next for the Dunedin Jockey Club’s Summer (Cup) meeting.

The 2100-guinea Limond-Veil yearling is to be broken in at Mr J. Donald’s stud farm.

The Limond-Veil colt will be sent to his new home in South Australia in May.

The Night Raid—Gay Round yearling colt remains at Elderslie stud for 12 months.

A head injury, sustained at Trentham, prevented Trivet racing atTrentham this week.

It is on the Cards that Trivet may be well enough to race at W.R.C. meeting to-day.

Wrack leads the trotting sires’ list with £9714 10/-, then comes Rey de Oro £7173 10/-.

The progeny of Wrack have won 51 races this season and Rey de Oro 34 firsts.

Orby’s Last returned a quote of nearly half a century in the W.R.C. Camp Handicap on Thursday.

Cyclonic and Courtega both slipped badly on the greasy going at Trentham on Thursday.

The Dunedin Trotting Cup handicaps, of Thursday next, has attracted a good field of thirteen.

One of the attractions of Dunedin Trotting Cup will be Todd Lonzia off the limit mark.

The Australian Jockey Club’s Anniversary meeting opens to-day and closes on Monday.

A number of New Zealand-bred gallopers are engaged at the A.J.C. Anniversary fixture.

Limulus is the third of the progeny of defunct sire Chief Ruler to win Wellington Stakes.

H. and A. Cutts are now level with E. J. Ellis (Washdyke) at the head of the trainers’ list.

The Messrs Cutts Brothers have a lengthy string of good horses in work and should win the premiership.

Fracas recorded her fourth win on end when she took Anniversary Handicap at Trentham.

Youngster Heritage finished very fast in his race at Trentham and should score very shortly.

Heritage, by Posterity from Homage, cost Mr W. H. Gaisford 525 guineas as a yearling last season.

Judging on his running as reported in Wellington Cup, Rocket is not ready for action yet.

At Sydney Easter sales of 1930, G. W. New paid 140gns for his Trentham winner Beau Gadante.

Smart Australian-bred juvenile gelding Emissary may race in Melrose Handicap (5f.) to-day.

Sir Charles Clifford’s juvenile filly, Knock Out, is a full sister to Umpire and Final Shot.

Silver Ring is well again at Riccarton and has been engaged for Sydney Easter racing.

Synagogue may race in Williamstown Stakes, £l5OO, 3yrs and 4yrs (I jm.) decided on February 9.

Williamstown Stakes provides for penalties and allowances and attracted large nominations.

Last season Williamstown Stakes was won by Gaine Carrington for Synagogue’s owner Mr Phillips.

The Takapuna J.C, meeting at Ellerslie to-day will rank as a serious rival to the W.R.C. fixture.

Southland-bred pacer Willow Wave is expected to race well at Timaru T.C. meeting to-day.

Vintage traces back to Trenton (Musket-Frailty' on both sides of his house through mares.

Trenton was one of Maoriland’s best racehorses of his day, but unlucky at home and abroad.

The influence of Trenton on maternal Jhies is recognized the world over and valued.

Vintage (9.9) won Wellington Cup under the record weight since the event was decided on Trentham track.

Advance won Wellington Cup under ■0.4 when the twelve furlong race was run on the Hutt track.

At the National Yearling Sales Mr H. D. Greenwood, purchased the Limond-Homage colt at 300 guineas.

Indications point to the state of the track making it very difficult for horses at Trentham to-day and puzzling to punters.

The William Reid Stakes, of £lOOO, weight-for-age (six furlongs) will attract Melbourne race-goers to .the Moonee Valley R.C. meeting to-day.

As a result of the Onkaparinga J.C’s. (S.A.) last, fixture at Easter time the profit was £2029, after writing off £414 as depreciation.

Jutland who won the Moorefield Handicap in Sydney recently is a New Zealand-bred gelding by Pombal

Riccarton performers Heather Glow, Knock Out and Moonbeam may be dangerous in Kilburn Handicap (Im.) run at Trentham to-day.

Unlucky Hot Stuff may trouble the best of the runners in the Wallaceville Highlight Handicap (Ijm.) W.R.C’s. opening race to-day.

Win and place wagering will operate at Takapuna J.C. meeting at Ellerslie to-day and the 70, 20 and 10 system prevail at Timaru T.C’s. fixture.

Riccarton representative Capital (8.2) may be difficult to dispose of in the Kaitoke Handicap (5f.) run at W.R.C’s. meeting to-day.

With a reasonable track available, Emissary would carry heavy Christchurch support in Kaitoke Handicap at Trentham this afternoon.

Despite topweight (8.9) the Chokebore Lodge youngster Bun Fight will keep Fulojoy and Penelope busy in Hospital Stakes to-day.

So far Travenna has failed at Trentham, but the Melrose Handicap (7f.) may be suitable to him for W.R.C’s. proceedings to-day.

Sprinter Golden Wings is to race over ten furlongs in Summer Handicap at Trentham to-day, probably as a means to discipline him.

Red Manfred (8.10) has not been over-burdened in W.R.C. Summer Handicap (IJm.), but Sam Smith (7.8) and Some Shamble (7.0) will be nuts to crack. ,

Fracas (8.2) reads well on recent running for W.R.C. Summer Handicap (ljm.), but the going may find the long-striding mare wanting.

North Islanders may prefer Lucidus and Cyclonic in W.R.C. Thornton Handicap " (Im.) to-day, but southern people will like Kemal Pasha and Silver Sight.

Rerepai will probably make it difficult for Princess Doreen and Star Artist in the big sprint, City Handicap (6f.) on yielding Trentham track today.

Always a trier to get on in the world, lightweight jockey W. H. Jones, who is not unknown in Southland, has decided to voyage to Melbourne for the autumn carnival, and will later on travel to India with R. Watson, who has already ridden in the Far East. During his early career W. H. Jones ranked as the leading apprentice in New Zealand one year. He proposes to settled in India, where there is good scope for colonial horsemen.

Mr G. L. Scott, of Melbourne, owner of the New Zealander Radiant Star, purchased three yearlings at Trentham this week. Two of the number are to be sent on to Victoria, hut the colt by Night Raid—Gay Round (half-sister to Entreaty, dam of Phar Lap) by Gay Lad—Prayer Wheel, by Pilgrim’s Progress—Catherine Wheel, by Maxim (son of Musket) will be handled by Mr K. Austin at Elderslie for 12 months.

The commanding and long-striding Night Raid-Satisfaction horse Wheriko should do well in the event of a jaunt to Melbourne to compete in the Newmarket Handicap (6f.) at V.R.C. headquarters. The long, straight run at Flemington would suit him to a nicety and he should be able to carry real weight—he is well-known in Australia and the evidence recently afforded of his return to form will earn for him. a fair amount of poundage in the big autumn sprint contest.

New Zealand Referee. reports:— A northern racing man who has been doing the southern meetings during the holidays travelled home with pleasant memories of Southland, but did not depart without saying some wise things. He stated that the Southland Metropolitan Racing Club’s Summer fixture was the best-managed race meeting that he had attended during the past twenty years.”

The return of Mr A. B. Williams to Maoriland as a prospective leading turf owner, will be welcomed, as the Hawkes Bay sportsman has owned and raced many good horses in his time, including Star Stranger, Rapine, Epitaph, Cylinder, Chortle, etc. He is sending three well-bred yearlings to J. H. Jefferd to be educated, comprising a colt by Philamor from Clemency, by Limond from Sweet Charity (imp.), an unraced mare; a filly by Night Raid from Sympathetic, by Martian from Sweet Charity (imp); and a filly by Iliad from Maid of the West (imp.) by Westward Ho. .

Brought to Maoriland from Melbourne for the Auckland Trotting Club’s Summer meeting recently the crack Australian pacer, Auburn Lad, trained off and failed to distinguish himself. It was at first intended to take him back to Victoria at once, but it appears that this plan of campaign has been abandoned. It is reported that his owner-trained W. McKay has departed leaving the gelding by Globe Derby behind him to be prepared by M. B. Edwards, of Christchurch, for racing at Addington at Easter time. It will not cause any surprise if McKay should return to New Zealand shortly accompanied by several members of his Melbourne string of light harness representatives—he might be tempted to bring his crack juvenile, Tennessee Wood, across the seas to measure strides with the best Maoriland three-year-olds available.

The Wellington Racing Club’s weightadjuster, Mr H. Coyle, an official not prone to be hard on useful performers, haS marked his opinion of Vintage in striking fashion by allotting him 10.11 for the W.R.C. Summer Handicap (IJm.) to-day. The Shambles gelding must have impressed Mr Coyle to the fullest extent to lead to this burden, but there is no doubt about the pupil of Mrs J. Campbell classing as a horse of more than the- best average merit, while he certainly presents the appearance of a racehorse capable of bearing heavy poundage. Under the current track conditions prevailing at Trentham, however, Mr Westenra’s representative will probably decline the contest. Had the track been at its best, with a start in, it would probably have been found that the ancient axiom applied to the effect that weight will stop a train.

Beau Gallante put up rather a notable performance at Trentham on Tuesday (remarks Christchurch Star) when at his first start since April, 1933, he won the Ruapehu Hack Handicap. He is owned and trained by G. W. New, of Awapuni. ‘ At the Sydney yearling sales at Easter, 1930, New paid 140 guineas for Beau Gallante. Until Tuesday, his. only racing was as a four-year-old when, in seven starts, he won three races and £2BO in stakes. He earned £l4O more this week. Beau Gallante is by Top Gallant, a son of Swynford, and one of the fastest horses that ever left England for Australia. In his native land, with 9st on his back, Top Gallant won the Newmarket Three-year-old Stakes, one mile and a quarter, on a- straight course with an uphill finish in 2min., a world’s record. In-Australia, Top Gallant won the Caulfield Futurity Stakes, seven furlongs, with lOst 21b in lmin. 26Jsec. Among the horses he beat that , day were Heroic, Manfred and Fujisan. Beau Gallante is a six-year-old. He appeared as a five-year-old in the Wellington book.

, It is interesting to record the fact that . the well-known steeplechaser Silverspire, who recently passed away at a ripe old age at Heddon Bush, was by Quicksilver, by Silvermark (a brilliant Otago youngster in his day). Speed was evidently transmitted in the case of E. J. Ellis’s smart youngster Silver Coat, as he was by Pink. Coat i from Silver Patch, by Quicksilver.

Like her relative, Silverspire, the mare Silver Patch was also by Quicksilver, and won success across country. Quicksilver, by the way, was owned during his career by Mr F. Malcolm, of Heddon Bush, and won a number of races for the Western District sportsman. When totalisator meetings were few and far between in the Western District Quicksilver ranked as the champion of the flat-racing brigade competing at the many hack fixtures at Heddon Bush, ■ Drummond, Otautau, and elsewhere.

A leading N.S.W. light harness scribe expresses the opinion:—“To those who aspire to breed a square-gaiter or unhoppled pacer the thoroughbred must be non-existent.” If the Sydney pressman knew anything about the very many successes reaped by pacers bred by Mr J. Stevenson and the late Mr J. McMath, of Riversdale, or the Messrs Hamilton, of Winton district, he would discover himself in error both ways—trotting and pacing. Messrs Stevenson and McMath bred hoppled winners of races totalling well into three figures, all by design from thoroughbred sources in the third and fourth maternal generation. This fact is borne out by the N.Z. Trotting Stud Book and common knowledge in Southland. Mr J. Hamilton has also bred crack square-gaited winners of the best races from a thoroughbred origin, and, as it happens from a Silvermark strain, the sire named ranking as a galloping classic race winner and by Apremont (imp.), whose progeny were not, as a rule, the most submissive animals in New Zealand. Many other Southland breeders have similar successes to record, and if the Australian scribe consults N.Z. Trotting Register and also the Stud Book he will be afforded food for reflection, as he will find that the home province has been credited with a large number of strapped racers of high degree all of whom have carried a strong infusion of thoroughbred blood in their veins.

TIMARU TROTTING CLUB. ACCEPTANCES FOR TO-DAY. Following are the acceptances for the Timaru trotting meeting:— 12.30 p.m.

THE LIGHT HARNESS SPORT. PROSPECTS FOR TIMARU MEETING. THE ADDINGTON CANDIDATES. (Special to the Times.) Christchurch, January 25. On track work and recent form horses that look like racing well at Timaru are as follows:— In the Claremont Handicap of 1J miles, Flotsam (ran second, second day at Canterbury Park, going 3.25) with Jacob and Little Reta look like getting most of the money, but with a good driver behind Lady Sonoma she would need to be considered.

The Improvers’ Handicap, over a mile and five furlongs, has the biggest field of the day engaged. Levity may get the big end of the purse and Dual looks like beating the remainder. The President’s Handicap should be a good race but on recent form Todd Lonzia must have a good show, Willow Wave and Wild Guy should get some of the money. The form shown at the Royal meeting by Peter Locanda (who has gone 4.20 1-5) was hardly right. After her fine showing on Thursday morning, when she went a mile and a half round three horses in 3.20 Midshipmaid must be hardest to dispose of in the Levels Handicap/ . while Black Shadow and Portlight look like being handy when the line is crossed. There are a number of real good sprinters in the Salisbury Handicap of one mile, Lone Derby, Lord Antrim, Gay Sister and Vagabond King from the front, with Lena Thorpe on 12, and Village Guy and Wild Guy (an exceptionally good beginner) on 24, should alone provide a great and exciting race. Lone Derby, Vagabond King and Lena Thorpe should be hardest for Wise Guy (who is very well) to head off. Morning Sun (who is working well) with Queen Author (if reserved) and Muriel d’Oro look like a decent trio in the' Pareora Handicap. The Farewell Handicap concludes the day’s sport and again a fine race should be staged. As all, bar Battlefield, are previously engaged perhaps the earlier racing should be the best guide, but Golden Cross, Colene Parrish (if reserved) and Battlefield look hard to get away from.

WELLINGTON RACING CLUB. ACCEPTANCES FOR TO-DAY. (Per United Press Association.) . Wellington, January 2S. The following are the acceptances for the third day of the Wellington meeting:—

BLOODSTOCK SALES. OFFERINGS AT TRENTHAM. (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, January 25.

At a meeting of the committee of the Winton Jockey Club on Tuesday evening, the president, Mr John Kean (Dipton), presided over a good attendance of members.

The application of F. Langford, Winton, for a license to train gallopers was approved. A further comunication was received from the Racing Conference with regard to cases of crossing, jostling or interference, by foul, careless, or incompetent riding, impressing the necessity of imposing adequate penalties of suspension or disqualification in proved cases. In regard to the late running of race meetings, clubs were also advised to appoint a paid official whose duty it would be to get horses into the birdcage in time for each race. —Received.

A letter was received from the Wyndham Trotting Club, stating that at a recent meeting, it was decided to urge upon the Trotting Conference to appoint a Handicapper for Southland and Otago, as it was considered, with the present system of one handicapper for New Zealand, that the service was practically impossible for one man to carry out successfully and promptly. .It had, therefore, been decided to cir-

culate Clubs concerned' and ask that they wholeheartedly support the. proposal.—lt was agreed to approach the Conference on the matter. At the conclusion of the business of the meeting the opportunity was taken to make a presentation to Mr J. H. Swale, from his fellow committeemen, on the occasion of his recent marriage. The chairman, Mr Kean, made happy reference to the important event which presented the opportunity to the committee to do honour to their fellow member. Mr Kean voiced the members’ congratulations to their guest, and wished both Mr and Mrs Swale all the best of health and happiness in the years to come. In his association with the Jockey Club, Mr Swale had proved himself a keen and capable steward, and members were glad to be able to express in some tangible form, the esteem in which Mr and Mrs Swale were held. Mr Kean, then called upon Mr T. Hamilton, to make the presentation. In doing so, Mr Hamilton referred to the pleasure which it gave to the committee to welcome their fellow member into the ranks of the benedicts. The name of Swale had always been associated with the affairs of the Club, and Mr John Swale, since joining the committee had proved a valued member. In presenting to Mr and Mrs Swale a handsome barometer, Mr Hamilton trusted that it would continue to record fair and pleasant weather throughout the days of their married life. The presentation was accompanied with musical honours. All other members present added their congratulations and best wishes to Mr and Mrs Swale. In replying, Mr Swale expressed his sincere thanks and appreciation of his wife and himself for the very handsome gift from the committee, and for the kindly remarks accompanying the presentation.
