(By The Curragh.)

The Avondale Jockey Club’s meeting opens to-morrow and concludes on Monday.

A final reminder is given that nominations for the Dunedin Spring meeting close to-day at 5 p.m.

The Ashburton and Foxton Racing Clubs will hold meetings to-morrow.

Nominations for the Kurow Spring meeting close on Tuesday.

Acceptances for the first day of the Geraldine fixture are due on Monday.

Vitaphone will be ridden at Ashburton by R. Beale and he is likely to be well 'Supported.

Mob Rule and Card Player will be coupled in the Grigg Stakes at Ashburton to-morrow.

The win and place system of betting will be in operation at Ashburton to-morrow.

AH Style, the dam of Palatinate and Look Smart, has produced a colt to Blatherskite.

W. Orange, who drove Electric Bell to win at Wellington last Saturday, is over 75 years of age.

Unless Kinnoull throws off his muscle soreness he may return home at the conclusion of the A.J.C. spring meeting.

The inside grass track at Invercargill was open yesterday for fast work and was fully used. The going was again on the slow side.

G. Barclay leaves to-day to fulfil engagements at the Ashburton meeting. He is to ride Fog Peak and Triplecone. The latter is a doubtful runner owing to a minor leg injury.

British Sun, who is being trained by F. Voight, and the Lord Warden —Set Sail filly ran along for half a mile yesterday and did it well. The latter continues to do well for A. McKenzie.

Marina Peak a filly by British Empire —Tea Party, was lame after working on Tuesday and a long spell will be necessary. It is bad luck for F. W. Ellis as the filly had been showing some ability.

Golden Lap (T. Boyle) was sent over two hurdles twice yesterday and gave an excellent display. He galloped a round in between the fencing and appears to be in good order. He should do well at the jumping.

The imported Silver Choir is still troubled by shin soreness and he is likely to be given a light blister during the week-end with a short spell to follow.

Lady Vane is growing into a very fine filly; she and Guste shaped well in a short sprint yesterday. The two-year-olds are pleasing their trainers.

Double Shot and Moneyless were sent along in a short sprint yesterday. The former pulled up as well as expected and will probably be entered at the Dunedin meeting.

M. Kirwan will ride Wino in the Spring Handicap at Ashburton on Saturday, while H. W. Hibberd will be on Great Star.

The Wanganui track did not suit Entheos, who has to take time to settle down. He ran creditably and will be more at home when fewer turns are encountered.

Cyrillian, who won at the Rosebery (Sydney) meeting on Wednesday, is trained by F. D. Jones. She is by Iliad—Cymene and is owned by Mr H. D. Greenwood.

It is reported that T. Webster, owing to increasing weight, will retire from riding after the Sydney spring meetings. He intends to return to New Zealand and take out a trainer’s licence.

Winners of the last New Zealand Cup, Auckland Cup, Dunedin Cup, Invercargill Cup, Riverton Cup, Wellington Cup, Feilding Cup and Canterbury Cup are now in Australia.

Brevity, who is engaged in the hurdle race at Ashburton, has been schooling well at Riccarton. Brevity is a four-year-old gelding by Roydon from Hope, a mare by Markhope from Nithsevo, who also produced Charleville, the dam of Windbag.

It is stated by a Wellington paper that the delay in getting the races off to time at Hutt Park on Saturday was chiefly caused by punters patronizing the main totalisator building, which was unable to cope with the money offering.

The Buzzer’s defection from the Trial Handicap on the second day at Wanganui is stated to have been due to the fact that he was a trifle sore after his winning effort on Thursday. The Buzzer has brilliant speed and has only to train on the right way to prove a good winner.

The following foalings have occurred at Mr G. M. Currie’s Koatanui Stud:— Midinette, b colt by Posterity; Solange, ch colt by Pombal; Lovers’ Lane, b colt by Myosotis (Mr H. P. Toose); Drawl, b colt by Posterity; Waterwings, ch colt by Limond; Variable, b filly by Limond; Homage, b filly by Limond.

The Wanganui Guineas form seems a little puzzling (says The Timaru Herald). Deficit and Laughing Lass, who finished first and second, were unplaced in the hack class on the first day, yet they beat Karl, winner of the open sprint on Thursday. Even allowing for the different distances, the form has provided some complications for handicappers.

Most of the Auckland horses who raced at Wanganui returned by train on Saturday night, although A. Cook waited with Gallio, Jonathan and Girl • Pat and brought them back by motor transport Gallio, Jonathan and Girl Pat did not perform up to expectations last week, but they should be benefited by the racing.

The Wanganui trainer W. Rayner intends to take a team to Ellerslie for the Auckland Racing Club’s Spring

meeting next month. One of his charges will be the two-year-old Icing, who displayed plenty of courage in her winning effort last Saturday. Icing is to contest the Welcome Stakes and should have excellent prospects in the classic.

The Wingatui double winner, Royal Secret, is by the Lucullus horse King Lu, who will be remembered as a good performer in winter conditions. Her dam Elope was bred in Australia, and is by Chrysolaus (by Roi Herode) from Secret Wedding, by William the Silent —Wedding Present, by Trenlow. The Doncaster Handicap winner Wedding Day was out of Wedding Present.

Vitaphone has not raced for eleven months, but he should be nearly ready before the Geraldine meeting is over. In his last four starts he has won thrice —Hadlow Hurdles at Washdyke with 9.9, Spring Hurdles at Wingatui with 9.9, and Wakari Hurdles at Wingatui with 10.9, and has nothing to complain of with 9.9. at Ashburton and Orari in the same class of horses.

Mandamus enters the ranks of promising three-year-olds by his success at Wanganui on Saturday, although it was only moderate trial company that he beat. He gave every evidence of being a solid sticker. Mandamus cost Mr W. H. Gaisford 600 guineas as a yearling, and he is a brother to Severe and a close relative to Spiral. He bears very little resemblance to either of those gallopers. Spiral, in fact, put him well in the shade on looks, but Mandamus, while a lighter-built gelding, gives the impression of galloping power and stamina.

The two pacers Manoeuvre and Replica have returned to Christchurch from Auckland, where they have raced for several months. Manoeuvre is a brilliant but moody pacer. She won several races for Mir J. P. McKendry, and looked a likely prospect for suitable northern contests, but she did not do as well as it was expected she would. Replica won a race before going north. She showed promising form at Epsom recently, where she won rather easily. Their future is indefinite.

Had the weather been more favourable for training operations at Trentham during the past few weeks it is highly probable that Mr Higgins would have won the Debutante Stakes at Wanganui on Saturday as well as the guineas, writes “The Watcher.” Sigurd was only just beaten and he had not really any extensive galloping prior to leaving Trentham. Sigurd is by Siegfried from All Bright, an English mare imported by Mr E. L. Riddiford. She is by Grand Parade from Bright Folly, by Black Jester—Bright, by Sundridge—Doris, by Loved One. It is a wonderful pedigree, though All Bright’s progeny so far have not made history.

Boomerang, who disappointed backers at the recent Wanganui meeting, is a beautifully bred horse, and likely to do much better later on in the season. He is by Iliad from Graciosa, an imported mare, and one of the best of her sex at the Elderslie Stud. She is by Gay Crusader from Mistrella, by Cyllene. Graciosa was a half-sister to the Oaks winner, Beam, and to Trimestral, dam of the Ascot Gold Cup winners, Trindon and Foxhunter. Gay Crusader won a war-time “triple crown” and Iliad was narrowly beaten by Blenheim in the Derby, so there is no lack of stoutness and brilliancy in this breeding. He is one of the strong team of four-year-olds engaged in this year’s New Zealand Cup. ,

Deficit, the winner of the Wanganui Guineas, is a bay colt by Lackham from Passbook. Both he and his dam were bred by Mr W. Higgins, and she is by Paper Money from Password, by Martian—Secret Link, the Bezonian mare who was the dam of Silver Link. Deficit thus comes of a very good family, and although there is possibly more speed than stamina in his pedigree, Martian and Bezonian are sufficiently close up to suggest Deficit will at least run the Derby distance. His finishing run at the end of Saturday’s mile was very solid, and bar Brazen King, he was travelling better than any of the others, says “The Watcher.” Deficit as a two-year-old improved with a race, a feature which was in evidence last week, for his connections thought considerably more of his chance on Thursday than was the case on Saturday. Passbook cost Mr Higgins 1300 guineas, but was a racing failure. According to the stud book Deficit is her second foal, the first having been a filly by V/hirlwind.

Conditions were very favourable at Riccarton on Tuesday (reports The Press), and a good deal of galloping was executed on No. 1 grass track by horses booked to race at Ashburton on Saturday and at the Geraldine meeting next week. Wino put in another appearance from Yaldhurst, and under a strong hold ran half a mile along the back in 51sec. after taking 24 4-ssec for the first two furlongs. He will be ridden by M. Kirwan on Saturday. Grey Honour beat Honour’s Lass in a similar task in 50 2-ssec. Other half-mile sprints over this ground were credited to Paper Slipper in 49 l-ssec, Thermidor 49 2-ssec, Trench Fight 49 2- Flying Flea beat Coxcomb easily in 49 l-ssec, Tout le Monde and Invoice 49sec, Heather Land and Atalanta Lass 51sec, Owlsgleam 49 2-ssec, and Gaysome and Epic 49 l-ssec. Over five furlongs Sir Hugh recorded lmin 3 4-ssec, and Tunneller and Orange Bud lmin ssec. Culotte and Pelmet galloped six furlongs well in lmin 15 3- the last half mile in 51sec. Rodeur and La France did a similar task in lmin 17sec, the last half-mile in 52sec. Convivial covered the same ground in lmin 16 4-ssec, the last four in 51 l-ssec. Rose of Tralee and Shawlett ran six furlongs in lmin 17 3-ssec, and Cape Gabo and Capital followed in lmin 17sec, time that was equalled by Great Star, the last half-mile in 50 l-ssec. Great Star, who is now 11 years of age, retains his form to a remarkable degree, and will win more races before he receives his retiring orders. He is to be ridden by H. Hibberd on Saturday. Cleaner strode over a mile in lmin 46 3-ssec, after taking 50 l-ssec for the first half. WRESTLING SAVOLDI BEATS WOODS. (United Press Association.) Levin, September 17. “Jumping Joe” Savoldi beat Joe Kopek Woods by two falls to one. In the fourth round Woods dumped Savoldi with a crutch hold, pinning him with a body press. The next round had hardly began when Savoldi knocked Woods out with his famous drop kick, finishing off with a body press. Woods came out groggy for the sixth round. Savoldi threw him to the mat with a flying tackle and on rising drop-kicked him, following up with a headlock and a body press and taking the deciding fall.

ROUND ABOUT RICCARTON

ASHBURTON FIXTURE JUVENILE CLASSIC ENTRANTS , (By Sir Modred.) Christchurch, September 16. Although rain poured down all day on Sunday and again on Monday morning the fast galloping circuits at Riccarton yesterday were m the best o order and a number of horses ran halfmiles in better than 50sec. To-day the tracks were open for the first time this season at 5 a.m. . , r j Broken weatner has interfered with training operations in Christchurch with the result that a number of horses to compete at the Ashburton meeting on Saturday will not be at their best. Runners raced during the winter will have a pull on the score of condition Then, again, racing at Ashburton will benefit a number of gallopers for the Geraldine meeting on September 24 and 26. In the circumstances it will not be surprising if a number of unexpected results have to be chronicled at the Geraldine gathering, a rather difficult meeting from a backer’s point of view. Saturday’s fixture at Ashburton will be the first flat meeting of the season in the South Island. At the present time there are over 180 horses’ being exercised at Riccarton. The majority are in active commission and the others are being got ready to follow suit. The prospective hurdler Acena has practically recovered from the knocking about he suffered when racing at the Otago Hunt Club fixture. He is putting on condition in spite of his troubles and may race well presently for A. S. Ellis. In a gallop across the hurdles yesterday morning Havering accounted for Acena. The former is very well, but if he should clout a hurdle at Ashburton he is liable to stop short. A Jockey Looks Ahead.

The southern horseman C. T. Wilson has been engaged to pilot Sir Hugh, Aggravate, Screamer and Gaysome at the Ashburton meeting. Gaysome is the least forward of the quartette, but she is coming to hand nicely and may sparkle up at Ashburton. She is a brilliant galloper when well and in the humour. Sir Hugh has been galloping well of late; Screamer is in excellent condition, but there are better youngsters maturing at Riccarton than the son of Hoylake. Aggravate promises to become a useful performer. If current engagements are to stand, Wilson will remain here until the Wellington spring meeting. He expects to ride at Trentham on two days and then hasten south to be on hand for the Gore spring gathering. It is on the cards that he will be jockey for the Riverton-trained crack Tauramai at the Dunedin spring meeting. L. J. Ellis lost no time in getting back to Riccarton from the Wanganui meeting and he was riding work this morning. He will probably act as pilot to Wino again in approaching engagements. The Cockpit gelding has been kept up to the collar since his Winter Cup success. When Kingcraft scored in a leading event at the Wellington Trotting Club s meeting on Saturday he returned an outside quote, but at the same time, he was not neglected in combination wagering by stay-at-home Christchurch backers. The Chokebore Lodge candidates for the John Grigg Stakes, on Saturday next, have not yet been decided upon, but Sir Charles Clifford may be represented by the the filly Card Player (Paper Money—Shuffle) and Mr G. R. Macdonald by the filly Guinea Fowl, by Paper Money from Capercailzie, by Autumnus from Kirriemuir, by Clanranald from Madowla, by Trenton from Azalea (imp.). Guinea Fowl sports an attractive galloping pedigree. Apart from the suspicion that several of their youthful charges are at present backward in condition, H. and A. Cutts will have a useful and lengthy string of two-year-olds for early spring and summer racing. Wild Chase in Trouble. A. Cutts was due back from Wanganui last evening with Wild Chase, Impersonator and Recollection. Until the Chokebore Lodge, trainer expresses his personal opinion it will not be known how serious or otherwise matters stand with Wild Chase. In the meantime it is understood that the Paper Money colt is suffering from knee trouble from which he was free during his brilliant career as a two-year-old last season. On the other hand, his stablemate, Paper Slipper was always causing concern during the past year owing to weakness in the knees, while now the boot is on the other foot. So far, Paper Slipper has been training on soundly, and galloping really well and he may move brilliantly before the season is far advanced—he speeded up this morning over four furlongs in 49 l-ssec, and was running on in the stretch. If the worst comes to the worst, this typical Paper Money juvenile may have to take the place of Wild Chase as the stable classic representative during the spring term. It is to be hoped, however, that Wild Chase will make a speedy recovery, as he creates the impression that he will develop into a staying member of the Paper Money tribe. Wild Chase was in strong work for his Wanganui Guineas engagement and with somewhat holding tracks in use his knee trouble may have been accentuated. He strode over an attractive mile in heavy ground prior to being shipped to the North Island. Approaching Hurdle Races.

A considerable amount of interest is being displayed here in the approaching hurdle races at the Ashburton and Geraldine fixtures and several very smart novices will take part, jumpers likely to carry on to promotion to firstclass company. Of the novices referred to S. Barr’s stable claims two in Redolent and Vitaphone—the former has already scored over the little sticks—and both are steadily becoming efficient in clearing the battens at racing pace. The former is the better of the pair at the present juncture, but Vitaphone is quite capable of extending his stablemate in schooling tussles with a slight advantage in running ground and weight. When the stablemates take the field any morning for jumping exercise interested spectators invariably gather to watch their efforts.

Then J. B. Pearson produces a smart little jumper and galloper in Fiord, while A. McAulay has good reason to think that Brevity will some day win over hurdles for his establishment. Wexford Bridge, who is likely to graduate to the best cross-country ranks, has been doing well in his schooling over battens, but he did not perform up to his previous form yesterday, when he made slovenly attempts at several obstacles. However, he has been jumping alone, and he is a gelding who may improve out of sight when pitted against eager rivals and his fighting blood is aroused. A. S. Ellis’s charges, Havering and Acena, can generally be depended upon to jump correctly and smartly when faced with the fences. Improving Flat Racers. A smart two-year-old last season, the compact little Pelmet (Limond-Cur-tain) has been “eating” up the tracks speedily of late and she moved particularly well yesterday when stepped out with another of T. H. Gillett’s pupils, Culotte. The latter is a four-year-old mare ’by Robespierre (imp.)

from Dame Straitlace, by Kilbroney from Discipline, by Treadmill from Madowla, by Trenton. She has so _ far proved something of a turf disappointment, but there is no doubt about her ability to gallop well and her turn may come this season. She is bred to stay on and it may happen that her prowess will be cultivated in this direction later on. In the meantime Pelmet may be acknowledged as a spring winner shortly, unless handicappers prove to be unkind. That galloper of moods, Tout le Monde, has been moving very freely during the past few weeks, and his few hard and fast admirers threaten to entrust him with support at Ashburton on Saturday. If he does not materialize it will not be for lack of racing condition, as T. Lloyd has him keyed up. In company with Invoice to-day Tout le Monde ran down half a mile in 49 1-5 sec., to demonstrate the fact . that an erratic racer has not lost his speed credentials. The juvenile gelding Sir Hugh has been galloping strongly for C. Emerson of late and with C. T. Wilson in the saddle he ran over five furlongs yesterday in a tick under lmin. 4sec, an attractive performance. By the Southlandowned sire Philamor (imp.) from Mistress Quickly, by Solferino from Dame Straitlace, by Kilbroney, he is the first foal of his dam and a three-year-old who will probably win races this season. He is now furnishing nicely. Not yet put to strenuous work this season, the crack juvenile of 1935-36, Greek Shepherd, looks particularly well. He is restricted to cantering exercise in the meantime to keep superfluous condition down, but his turn will come later on, as he appears to be sound. The descendant of Iliad (imp.) has furnished into a very handsome horse.

The relatives Grey Honour and Honour’s Lass are likely to prove attractive racing propositions during the new season. The trainer D; Cotton has reason to be pleased with the progress made by his charges and Honour’s Lass may be found up to weight and capable of securing profitable stakes.

Ellis) may return to New Zealand next month with Kinnoull and Rebel Lad. Kinnoull, who is also relieved of the Epsom engagement, has developed a splint in one leg. TRAINING AT RANDWICK LOUD APPLAUSE IN GOOD FORM. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) Sydney, September 17. Training at Randwick was carried out on the outside of the course proper, which was a little dead after rain. Loud Applause started with Ilium at the mile and Cerne Abbas joined in at five furlongs. Loud Applause finished first, taking lmin 48sec for the mile. He went rather well. Custos and Grand Boy covered six furlongs in lmin 22sec, the latter going the better of the two. Pladie and Happy Landing ran a mile in lmin 51sec. At Rosebery on the middle grass frack, with the trestles 25ft out, there was good going. Silver Ring, carrying a very light boy, went six furlongs in lmin 15Jsec (the first two in 25Jsec), showing that he is back to his best.
