prominently over two miles by running second to Waitaki Girl in the King George Handicap. A Genuine Customer Cardinal Logan, who has won many good handicaps over various distances, has been assessed at 4.27, and has a winning record of 4.29 last year. This son of Logan Pointer is a very solid customer and can hold his own in any company. Aucklanders have a soft spot for The Cardinal, and his fine efforts at the June fixture have not been forgotten. A. Hendriksen will have a royal chance of adding another New Zealand Cup to his list this year. Might Get the Extra Pinch Peter Bingen, own brother to the back-marker Great Bingen, is also on the 4.27 line, and as he has gone round about 4.28 for a win and 4.26 for a place there is nothing wrong with his adjustment. Peter is hefty, but there is a mild suspicion that he cannot last out the last little bit when the pace is on all the way. He may effect a surprise by yet showing his ability to hold on right to the wire. He is in pretty good hands and will not lack anything on the score of condition.

Will be Cheeky Tolaro who, some think, has a cheek to be in such a classy event, is considered by the handicapper to be in the 4.27 section. It must not be forgotten that the son of Great Audubon—Coin was well in the New Zealand Cup picture last November, pulling out the 500 sovereigns that go to the third horse. Later he visited Auckland and upset a host of calculations by landing the rich prize for the Cup. On his present mark Talaro will give a lot of cheek in the big race in November.

One of the Pearls That real pearl. Sea Pearl, by Nelson Bingen from Pearl Child, is another Cup candidate that will find favour with lovers of the pastime in this province. Mr. G. McMillan’s mare ran a great race in the Auckland Cup, being only defeated by a narrow margin. Later the mare won a two-mile heat at Dunedin and then returned to Auckland where she won the Otahuhu Cup in a tick over 4.29. On the final day Sea Pearl again put up a sterling performance, being beaten a head by Cardinal Logan, who was in receipt of 36yds, and registering 4.26 2-5. If ready in November, the Aucklandowned mare will play a big part in the contest off a 4.26 peg.

A Tough Proposition Black Admiral is another on the 4.26 mark that cannot fail to claim attention. The son of Brent Locanda— Queen’s Drive was well favoured for last year’s event, but owing to an unfortunate incident did not see the

post. When just outed by Escapade at Easter, Edwards’s charge went 4.25 2-C for the full distance, and when he won on the final day tramped 4.26 2-5. He is on a handy mark, and will have every assistance so far as horsemanship goes.

One of the Many Kohara. who hails from the powerful Oakhampton stable, is another candidate that can have no cause for complaint on the score of handicap The son of Cathedral Chimes —Bright Alice won a two-mile heat at Alexandra Park last Christmas in 4.25 4-5. defeating a good field, and from a 4.26 peg he must be seriously considered in the calculations for the November Cup stakes. After all, this chap may prove the pride of the Oakhampton stable for the contest. Worst of the Deal

Queen’s Own was one of the alsostarted division last November, when she was placed on the end, 4.28. I® the interval the daughter of Adonis— Country Queen picked up £1.440 in stakes, winning the Prince of Wales Handicap at Dunedin in 4.31 4-5. However, O. Hooper secured second money at both Dunedin and Christchurch with Mr. Spence’s pacer when she wound up the clock to approximately 4.27. Considering that Black Admiral and Kohara have better winning performances, it looks as if Queen’s Own has the worst of the deal, and her trainer may rely on his other candidate, Audacious. Due For a Place Acron, who holds the New Zealand mile record of 2.3 3-5, and has a two; mile placed record of 4.24, is on a 4.2’; mark. Last year the brilliant son f Logan Pointer—Millie C was handicapped on 4.25. but he failed to make good and finished out of the moneylie is now being trained at Oakhampton Lodge and will have e\*ery oppc r ‘ tunity to try himself out with AhuririGreat Hope and Kohara. before tn« big day arrives.
