TRENTHAM JOTTINGS

HORSES FOR DANNEVIR^ THREE-YEAR-OLDS show PROMISE

( Special to THE SL’X i- v.- klli N<3Ton-, Monaay tpon his return f rom the * National meeting Royal Damon tered upon a well-earned spe n **’ bad little luck in the venture 'so, 8 ' only on one occasion receiving a. portumty of showing what he capable of. and on that occaalo.^ ! l 4 1 evory chance and failed u* * badly served at the barrier t-tan of the race for the his rider lost an day. but on the third dav prominent when the field home and then could not run Sn o' "ill not appear again till the am., bv which time he should be fre^h.® 1 up and will not have to such heavy weights '®* un| F I, u seems that, after all sta.a has been sold, and that he is Australia. The sale was *° l over a week ago. but there anXS to come a hitch and the £££* seemed to he a little the fact that some South ers were anxious to secure him & i ard ‘ las s, ."' wn in his schooling , r ™* h ™ ;*?at he can jump "ell- .und his Australian owner s | try him at the jumping branch ofl , sport, but as he still retains a . turn of speed there is no rei son^ Ihe should not run creditably : flat if properly placed. ' nc ' Star Shell is being prepared meetings early in the spring. 2* I short courses he should do well „ is a fast jumper, but a poor beir and a ' half hur <ile races su^ Gone to Gisborne Favours, who was owned by - \v ellmgton sportswoman. Vr«' - I Boyle, has been sold to the Oi.k, enthusiast. Mr. W father of Miss Wilson, a membL the New Zealand Olympic team v Favours is solidly bred, bein- by r broney. a sire of stayers, from Fa ngnt. whose sire was Martian p has shown fair form in the lait it months, and though somewhat di*a pointing in he might vetS right. The locally-owned' Beaumont ha been freely entered for events at ~7 spring meetings. He is a fair former up to a mile, and there T-i hopes that he will make a good hnrdt How he will shape in the jumpinr a, partment wo might soon know as hi name figures in the list of thosT gaged in hurdle races at several ~ proaching fixtures. If he goes n Dannevirke a win for him on the «. would not be surprising. Kalos at Dannevirke Such useful form has been dispkt* by Kalos in his last four starts tki i he should touch a short price at Daenevrke. He was in a place In abo* 50 per cent, of his starts last seasc and in four starts this year has bm three times placed. Catkin is booked for the West Com (North) trip next month. He has done a considerable amount of wort and his party are sure to trv to with him before the tracks get har. Like most of the Catmints he does best when the going is soft.

What a failure Panther was at R*carton! His track work had bee so good that his Winter Cup failur did not deter backers from sendk: him out favourite on the last day e the meeting. This time there could b no excuse for his defeat as he was w* away and had every chance. Perb&rhe will bob up when he is unexpecte: and pay a price that will add to trannoyance of those whom he has liready proved costly to. Matu wound up the season unluck:. He went wrong through receiving knock a few weeks before the Grax National meeting, but as he made * fair recovery he was taken Sqntt there to strike more trouble, receive; a big knee as a result of falling wti schooling at Riccarton. He will be put aside for some time, and should be a useful jumper next seaasi though he might not reach the r class.

Millais May Be Good W. McKinnon’s pair, Millais sr Toxeuma, have been doing well on * tracks of late and are expected to sbr up in their spring engagements. Ur lais showed a deal of speed as a tv-vear-old, but did not stay on too mt With a year on to him he might ic on better. Toxeuma has improc: very considerably, and his success - the Trial Plate at Wellington in J? augurs well for him in the prw» spring. One of the best track workers * New Plymouth is Flying Shot, wbc now trained by his owner, Mr. E'' Hale. He is expected to play a strr hand in hack events at the spf" meetings, but it should not be for? ten that he was a good worker in F vate last season when his success were nothing to greatly enthuse ow He is to race at the Taranaki HS" meeting, and he will have this in-• favour that he will be more forward condition than some of those oppose him. Vesperus is suffering from a heel and is doing only light won *■ present, but he is looking alflr well and should be able to his best soon. He is gayer usual and some of the track waicnr expect him to be better this season Rowley looks big, but he seem.* b*o well, and it is evident his triz intends to try and get another two out of him. He a hard beat when he is at his best, bnt - trouble Is to get him right 35 such a heavily-topped horse that nrbothered by unsoundness. In His Own Class Royal Game will go on to the Daj virke meetings. He took a come right this winter, but & showing fair form before the co ion of the racing at R l< r carto rtT ; that should encourage bis %. persevere with him by running some of the smaller gatheringslikes the soft courses, and a may be made to win a race "i before the dry season sets m. If Rangi Sarto appears in * the hunt steeplechases that are cards in the immediate * utur ?L e e> have ample support after form he displayed whUe _i? cI JJf st pr carton this month. Hls Ka r, he formance, of course, was "h . the Lincoln Steeplechase, .je showed in that that he is jumping the di*** and running out a * well. He had only a hgn ’ that race, but the co ™ Pan ; ri ahead of what he is likely in a hunters’ race. d & fl* Te Monanui is very well an pected to contest on f. Vr„ nt events at the Taranaki nte r* next Satur •y. He has J*®*# for events at the MTang* V’ but to the surprise of so- • been omitted from the E 'ada* * Probably he will be at - make another attempt nP° chelson Cup.
