AUSTRALIAN TURF REVIEW

VEILMOND’S SON ALL VEIL By SIR MODRED ■ The New Zealand-bred sire Veilmond, by Limond, was credited with his most important success when his son All Veil won the Newmarket Handicap. His sons and daughters have jwon many races and gained places during the past and current season. During his career Veilmond always [raced in Australia, where he was a [noted weight-for-age performer. Starting at odds on the crack Sydney [two-year-old filly All Love won the Valuable Sires Produce Stakes. One Kuf the first crop of the progeny of Double Remove she is building up a [great stakes total to the credit of her [sire, a son of Felstead and a direct descendant of Carbine.

A movement promoted by a number of leading trainers has for its object [the recognition of the entry of geldings [for the classic races. It is pointed out that the welfare of the turf was not adversely affected by the racing of the (famous geldings Phar Lap, Amounis and Gloaming in classic events. The brilliant New Zealand-bred Beaulivre may not be raced in Melbourne during the current autumn campaign. He recently jarred a joint and the son of Beau Pere (imp.) has [been causing his trainer, G. Price, deep [concern. Beaulivre has not been lucky jn his recent racing engagements. At latest advice the Victorian horse pay Lothario (imp.) headed the list of [winning sires in Australia for the current season with round about £14,000 to his credit. The Buzzard, with about £lO,OOO, is in second place, followed by ;Beau Pere claiming about £BOOO. Recent wins by All Veil and All Love have placed Veilmond and Double Remove respectively with £5OOO on the sire's tabulated list. DEFUNCT SIRES High credit has to be attributed to great defunct Wanganui sires in connection with the success of All Veil in [the V.R.C. Newmarket Handicap. His sire, Veilmond, was by Limond (imp.), Iby Desmond (son of St. Simon), whose idam, Veil, was by Absurd (imp.), sire tof very many brilliant performers in New Zealand and Australia. The well-known Dunedin owner, Mr G. J. Barton, was very fortunate with •his horses when he first embarked upon pn Australian campaign, but for some (time past his representatives have been failing to gain recognition. One of his entrants, owned in partnership with Mr W. Balloch, has, however, performed well since Christmas time and on Saturday made full amends for some previous disappointments by winning ■the Newmarket Handicap under the cognomen of All Veil. When Mr Barton first raced horses in the Victorian capital the late C. Ware proved one of the most capable and successful trainers in the metropolitan area. One of the attractions of the important V.R.C. racing carnival in Melbourne this week will be the yearling sales, but widespread interest will be engendered when the brilliant Ajax, now retired from the turf, comes under the auctioneers’ hammer on Friday. Several other horses of mature age and stud fame will also be offered for sale. ALL LOVE'S WINNINGS The sum of £2255 would be accredited to the filly All Love as the result of her triumph in the V.R.C. Sires’ Produce Stakes. The prize money for the classic totalled £3355, from which has to be deducted £lOOO for second (£600) and third (£400), while £lOO goes to the nominator of the winning sire. The owners of sires to the number of 71 contributed £5 for each horse to this total. Two-year-olds by sires other than those nominated were not eligible for entry. Like many of her predecessors of similar age, colts and fillies of the past, the crack two-year-old filly, All Love, was backed, started and beaten in the Oakleigh Plate won over the Flemington straight five and a-half furlongs by the four-year-old mare Zonda, by Manitoba (imp.) by Manna. However, All Love rehabilitated her reputation at the V.A.T.C. meeting by winning the Alma Stakes, for two-year-olds, in record time. She carried 9.6 and ran the six furlongs of the V.R.C. straight six in lmin lOsec, a feat that has no parallel. Her breeding in sire line is of deep interest to New Zealanders and also to Southlanders. She is one of the first of the progeny of Double Remove (imp.), by Felstead (Derby winner), by Spion Kop (Derby winner), by Spearmint (Derby winner), by Carbine. It has also to be pointed out that Double Remove, like Heroic, Ajax, Cicero, Night Raid and The Buzzard is a member of the Illuminata-Paraffin maternal family, a strain that is very strongly represented at the Chelandry Stud and elsewhere originating from this well-known home province nursery of the thoroughbred tribe. All Love’s dam, Beauvue, was by Legionnaire (Phalaris-Spean Bridge, by Spearmint) from Girton Girl, by Linacre from Miss Arlington, by Multiform. She is possessed of three close up strains of Musket, one each way through Spearmint and the other as a descendant of Multiform. The filly cost 250 guineas as a yearling. PINK UN The South Canterbury-bred Pink ’Un, by Pink Coat from Pacify, was the winner of the Second Division of the Aero Handicap (5 fur.), at Menangle Park, Sydney. The juvenile’s sire is familiar to the minds of followers of tire turf, but his dam will not be remembered gratefully by backers. This masculine and handsome mare Pacify was a brilliant youngster on the tracks, a lioness at home, but a lamb in the field—a non winner. She was by Limond from Makepeace, by Martian from The Hague, by Stepniak and her breeding strains would be hard to surpass. Having privately timed her on invited occasions when stretched out at Riccarton the writer can testify as to her marked brilliance, but, like many other brood mares she was a failure as a racer. She has a half-sister at the stud in Southland in Pompax, by Pombal (imp.), and a half-brother racing very consistently as Notium, by Lysander, in the North Island. In his Sydney success Pink ’Un started first favourite, and ran down the five furlongs in lmin 2sec under 8.3, and it is evident thtat he inherits the family speed through sire and dam. GALLOPS AT CAULFIELD (Received March 4, 7.30 p.m.) MELBOURNE, March 4. Conditions were favourable for galloping at Caulfield. On the course proper, 30 feet out, High Cast, looking well, did a mile in lmin 44sec and Whisper Low five furlongs in lmin 21sec. El Golea was off colour following the Hawksburn run. All Right again beat Rangi over four furlongs in 51jsec. Cttmlus did the best of six furlongs in lmin 16sec. Wilson and Pandect covered a mile in lmin 45zsec, Pandect doing well in preparation for the Sydney carnival. Status Quo ran five furlongs in lmin 6isec. Apostrophe looks fit.
