She won over seven furlongs at Marton. * # * * The New Zealand Cup candidates Don Quixote, Hynanna, My Own and Tt Awha are in the Spring Handicap at Greenmeadows. • • * * That smart sprinter Hunting Day will be making his first appearance as a four-year-old in the Flying Handicap at Hastings to-morrow. «## • • Curie is the only youngster in the Nursery Handicap at Hastings who has shown racing form, and will probably Iks the favourite. ’ . *•. * * On his form at Dannevirke the Callaghan gelding Call Again will not be allowed to pay a big price in the hurdles at Hastings. * ♦ * * Hector Gray will have some good mounts at the Hawke’s Bay meeting tomorrow, Kahikatoa, Don Quixote, Huntingdon, Hunting Day and Love Song being his probable engagements. * * * • Zarene was lame this week, according to a Wanganui report. This is particularly bad luck for the Chief Rulei mare, whose recent form suggested that she would soon be among the winners again. •** . * Paratoo will be ridden by J.' Barry in tlu Hawke’s Bay Guineas. T. Green's engagements at the meeting are Rapallo, Fitzquex, Queen’s Choice, Gran Chaco ahd Charmeline. Corinax has been recommissioned at Ellerslie by J. Williamson and reports slate that the Magpie gelding is very gross. The Auckland Cup winner generally takes some time to come to hand, and he will not be ready until about Christmas. * * * • Set Sail was omitted from the telegraphed list of acceptances for the Hawke’s Bay Guineas? King’s Speech Breaks Down. The Amtralian-bred horse King’s Speech broke down at Avondale and will be definitely retired from the raietram King’s Speech is by Demosthenes firm Dragon Queen, by The Wag from Vina de Mar, by the American horse Americus. As a two-year-old in 1924 King’s Speech won both juvenile races at the Takapuna spring meeting, ran second to Mimetic in the Great Northern Foal Stakes and second to Runnymede in the Royal Stakes. The following season he was second to King Lu In the Great Northern Guineas and did not race after that until last week. On account of his good breeding, King’s Speech may do well at the stud. VII his Avondale showing, Sir Kay (Lord Quex —Espiner) will win in good company. His only start was in the Champion Hack Plate, and in that race, after getting his tongue over the bit, he ran fourth.

It is reported from South that the brilliant sprinter Meadow Lark is shortly to go to Australia. The Songbird—Unawed gelding has been working well on the tracks and, as he conies to ham. very quickly, the projected trek may not be very far off.

Awapuni is Popular. More and more horses' are going to Awapuni to be trained, and the Palmerston North track must now lay claim to being one of the busiest in the Dominion. The latest arival is the Masterton mentor W. Hawthorrte, who has Mr. W. R. Kemball’s horses, and team at present consists of Courageous, Shortly, Hymgreat and several youngsters. The chief reason for the popularity of Awapuni is that it is centrally situated and, as well, the track has beem considerably improved during the past few years.

Offer for Eaglet. It is reported from Sydney that Mr. F. !• 1 has been offered and has accepted a good price for his four-year-old mare Eaglet (Chief Ruler—Dovelet).
