17TH. TARANAKI STAKES

GREAT CONTEST FOIR TO-DAY

BEST QUALITY FIELD YET CARDED

lady quex is the most fancied

MARE- SHOULD BEAT AMMON KA,

(By ‘“Moturoa.”)

Taranaki’s sole remaining classic, the Taranaki Stakes, was inaugurated in 1915, and a glance through the records shows that, while numerically the fields have been weak, the high-class horses attracted by the event have made it a delectable morsel of racing for Taranaki’s sporting public, and the retention of this race on the programme has .been fully, warranted.

: The first Taranaki Stakes was won ■by Sir George Clifford’s splendid two-year-old colt Flying Start, who scored ■by a neck from the good mare Merry (Roe. Emperador was third and Gladiole arid Bisogne made up a fine field. Emperador’s chance came the next year, and Mr. G. D. Greenwood also provided the runner-up in Bimeter, who finished a neck behind the Charlemagne 'II. gelding. It was a great race. The ithree-year-old Flying Start was only a ihead further back and Kilboy was a Close fourth.

Only'three lined up for the Taranaki Stakes in 1917. Mr. T. H. Lowry’s two-year-old E&tland comfortably defeated Bimeter, who was carrying the full penalty ’of 9.10. Nystad was well beaten. When only two went into the startler’s hands in 1918, the chances of the continuation of the race appeared deteidedly remote. However, a fine race (resulted, the smart sprinter Finmark getting home from Koesian by a neck. Though the prospects looked barren, (the.Taranaki. Jockey Club again bravely carded the event, and its confidence in the ultimate success of the classic was ■entirely substantiated. The reward of its foresight was the presentation of the finest race ever served up to the Taranaki public. Four started in that (sensational contest—-Gloaming, Desert Gold, Croesus and Silver Link, and that trace is worth recalling!

Desert Gold- Beats Gloaming.

•Gloaming (8.-Deeley) 9.0, Desert Gold i(H. Gray) B.l'l, Silver Link (R. S. Bagby). S.ll and Croesus (B. H. Morris) ,9.0 was the order in which these chamZpions were favoured in record betting for the contest, and, as usual, Gloaming ■was backed down to a very short price. Silver Link had won the Juvenile Handicap and Croesus the Flying Handicap ■.on the opening day of the meeting. From a good despatch, Silver Link shot out from Croesus, and at the High 'School bend this pair were abreast and going for their lives, with Gloaming on ithe rails behind them and Desert Gold at his side. Deeley appeared to sense a trap and he dropped back at the two furlongs, but Desert Gold drifted with ham. The pace-makers had a break of several lengths when they straightened iup, but the pace had beaten them and they dropped back to the champions. Gloaming was securely trapped and, onside the distance, Desert Gold shot

(past Croesus arid Gray sat .down to ride one of his most desperate finishes. ' Gloaming was conceding that great ; mare an advantage of fully two lengths with less .than 100 to go and the (Winning post came a fraction too soon. (He was beaten by a neck, and the wonderful race was recognised by the sportsmen present, who gave the winner <and runner-up a. prolonged ovation. / The Stakes of 1920 was the first to be credited'to Taranaki, Mr. A. Alexander’s speedy mara Silver Link chow; dug a clean pair of heels to Hymestra. (Right and Left was third and Golden (Bubble followed them home. Gloaming made his next appearance dn 1921 and registered a very easy win over Silver Link. Mr, G. D. Green-

wood’s other string, Rossini, was third.

The wonderful son of the Welkin and Light won his second Stakes the following year, Silver Link again filling the role 'of runrier-up, with Awake third. Rational simply romped home in 1923 •froni the well-bred, but unfortunate

-Ransack. Valerie was third. He attempted to win the next year, but the \ English-bred mare Glentruin was first home, and she was followed by Lady (Bentinck and Gaillard.

. Seven lined up for the Taranaki •Stakes in 1925 and the public reposed

most taith in Gold Acre, Lady Cavendish "and Rational, but they were due •for a big surprise when Motley bobbed <up to beat Siaosi and Merit. Motley was backed down to a very ehort price the next year and her army ©f followers was treated to a great, thrill, the Absurd mare just scrambling home from the late Mr. Newton King’s Oration. Lady Cavendish was a length •awaj- in third, place. The public decided in favour of Reremoana in 1927, but he was decisively

(beaten. The Hawk won in a desperate finish from the two-year-old 'Silvermine. Grand Knight was a length further back and a head in front of Reremoana.

Again Reremoana was the public’s elect in 192-8 and was backed down to a “Gloaming” price in a three horse race. Te Atiawa made the pace and •The Hawk joined him in the straight. “Snowy” Morris made a big mistake in •trying to. go between and was temporarily blocked, the momentary advant- ; age giving The Hawk his second victory ■by a neck. , Interest was again waning in the ' race, but Paganelli and Lady Quex were responsible for a timely revival in 1929. Lady Quex was confidently expected to lower the colours of the South Auckland champion, but she received a very bad start and was beaten by a length and .a half. Cimabue was half a length

.away and Gascony last. In that race the time, record of Imin. IBsec. jointly .. held by Desert Gold and Motley went •by the board, Imin. 12 4-ssec. being registered. Lady Quex was a long way below form when she contested the classic . last year. Five started and Eaglet and Lady Quex looked as if they had had enough racing, Paganelli stripping a picture. Lady Quex hit the front at the half mile, but she was joined on the bend by Paganelli. Lady Quex retired at the bottom of the straight and Paganelli won. 'by two lengths from Toxeuma, who beat Cimabue a neck for second money. Lady Quex was last. Gloaming, Motley, The Hawk and Faganelli are all double-winners of the .: Taranaki Stakes.

Mr. T. H. Lowry scored in three successive years with Estland, Finmark and Desert Gold and Mr. G. D. Greenwood also succeeded on three occasions, Gloaming (twice) and Emperador carrying his colours.

Both Hunting Cry and Lady Quex received minor injuries in tho course ot the running in the Flying Handicap on Thursday, but yesterday morning both showed improvement and are sure to take their places in to-day’s field. Hunting Cry had not done a great deal of work from the time he raced at Trenthani till Thursday, and it is reasonable to expect him to be improved by his gallop. He has three pounds off his back to-day, but it must not be forgotten that he meets his conqueror in the Flying Handicap on a pound worse terms. Racing over a distance seems to have impaired Paganelli’s initial brilliancy and on Saturday he was badly beaten out from the barrier. Nc fault can be found with his condition, but he will need to improve out of all knowledge to stand a chance of registering a third successive victory in the Stakes. It is not possible to imagine a more Clear-cut victory than that of Lady Quex in the Flying Handicap on Thursday and it is no exaggeration to say that she was only cantering over the last furlong/ The New Plymouth mare has never been better than she is at present and to-day will have 41b less than she carried successfully on the first day. A win for her and her owner, Mr. W. G. Emeny, would be a very popular one, and the majority of sportsmen will be disappointed if she does not pul! off the race.

Silvermine is a doubtful starter, but he cannot be readily overlooked, especially with the sting out of the going. Ceremony, who equalled the Australasian record for seven furlongs last season, would have a chance if anywhere near his best form. Merry Cry ran poorly in the Juvenile Handicap and would have no chance on that form. Gesture seems to be coming back to form, and a reproduction of her last, season’s brilliance would make her very hard to beat. Ammon Ra, the season’s champion two-year-old, is the most discussed candidate for the event outside of Lady Quex. A brilliant finisher and impartial to any going, he must- bey Recorded considerable, support. He is in splendid condition and an exceptional performance will have to be recorded to beat him. Carrying the full penalty of 101 b, he is meeting Lady Quex on 31b worse than weight-for-age terms. With so many of the Dominion’s proven champion sprinters engaged, the classic promises an . exceptionally fine conic, t and will draw sportsmen from a wide area. Judging by the present trend of public opinion, the money will place the candidates fairly well and‘the trio that make most, appeal are LADY QUEX , AMMON RA. HUNTING CRY. T.J.C., ACCEPTANCES TO-DAY, The following are the acceptances, for the second day (to-day) of the Taranaki Jockey Club’s earthquake relief meeting:—■ ' ; ■ OKOKE HURDLES HANDICAP. , Of 160 sovs. 1J miles and 100 yards.

THURSDAY’S FORM AT A GLANCE.

REVIEW OF HANDICAP FIELDS.

(By “Moturoa”)

Although OMEO ran a long way below his best form the first day he is sure to* be all the better , for the race and it would not be surprising to see him beat Tenaere and Royal Acre in the Okoke Hurdles.

Ths Mokau Handicap finds STATUARY engaged. The' Leighton gelding did not start the first day, but he ran a fine third the last day at Hawera after receiving a bad passage. Joyspear aud Monalof both have to be respected, but it may be Banbridge who will give most trouble.

The betting in the Stewards’ Handicap will centre about Consent and Bayacre, who ran good races in the Flying Handicap. Bayacre’s bad habits at the barrier detract considerably from his prospects and it may be CONSENT, who was hemmed in on Thursday, will secure tho thick end of the stake. Ridgemount should account for the others. The Paul Memorial has attracted a fine field of 14 and the winner looks difficult to sort out. Concentrate should improve with his race the first day, but, even on 131 b worse terms, Vertigern should again beat him. In the Shade may have the services of Gray and, if this is so, the public will experience no difficulty in deciding upon a favour-

ite. High Falutin’s return to form gives him a great chance, for it was only in the last furlong in the Cup that he was beaten. Llandudno has been preferred to-day to Otairi, but the distance may bo too far for him. Fiist Acre cannot be left out of discussions, neither can Cashier, while Chopin also has a chance. Summed up, form forces one to incline in. favour of VERTIGERN, Hmh Faintin’ and In the Shade. If TENTERDEN is kept for the Paritutu Juvenile, the bettors will have no difficulty in deciding upon this brilliant beginner, and 9.12 should not worry him much. In his absence Paratoo, EASTER TIME and Impetuous will be in demand. Chief Link won so well on Thursday that a rise of 101 b is not prohibitive. Richfield may need a race, but Melissa has a chance. Paiko will need to improve on his first day’s running, but Belle Star cannot bo left out of it. TENTCALL is well treated on the minimum and, if decently handled, may beat Chief Link and Melissa.

The Ohiata Handicap should be a great betting race. Orapai has a good horse’s weight, but there is no doubt he is a class performer. PARATOO is in form and gets in well with 9.5. He should run ■ a great race if started. At»<ira should improve on Thursday’s running, but Tea Queen scored easily and should again account for him. Royal Finance, Chief Savage, Singer, Moatoa, Bon Eve and Orby’s Choice will all be backed, ■but, in the absence of Paratoo, most appeal is made by ORAPAI, Tea and Arikira.

(By “Moturoa.”) Nominations for all events' at the Rangitikei Racing Club’s annual meeting at Bulls on March 4 and 5, close with the secretary at 9 o’clock on Monday night. ft ft * * Mr. H. A. Goodall, secretary of the Rangitikei Racing Club, will be present at the Taranaki Jockey Club’s meeting to-day and will take nominations for the Rangitikei meeting. # ft ft ft

Vertigern, who is one of the favourites for the Paul Memorial to-day, won the race two years ago.

Tenterden is a brilliant beginner and led into the straight in the Flying Handicap on Thursday. If started in the Juvenile to-day, his early brilliancy will warrant good support for the Chief Ruler gelding.

“E.K.,” New Plymouth.—The Royal Stakes, on January 2, 1926, was won by Joy King. At the 1925-26 A.R.C. meeting Lysander won the G.N. Foal Stakes from Royal Tea and Joy King, with Commendation unplaced. Joy King won the A.R.C. Royal Stakes from Automno and Commendation, Lysander being unplaced. PROSPECTS FOR ROTORUA. TO-DAY’S FIELDS UNDER REVIEW. (By ‘‘Moturoa.”) The Rotorua meeting opens to-day and concludes on Monday; Recent racing in the Auckland province should guide the punters and winners should not be very difficult to sort out. # « ft # A reproduction of his best fdrm would make STEADY FIRE a great prospect for the Highweight, and probably -Subeditor and Smithfield - will be next in demand. # » ft ft The Waimangu Stakes will be a puzzler, but if PROTOMINT can find his feet in time he should beat Abbey ■ Dream and Silene. # ft ft ft Opinion will be divided in the Miokoia Handicap, but TETRACHATE, Hakanoa and Volimond' should show up. « ft . * * The Summer Cup winner Mosque is not badly, treated in the Rotorua Cup with 8.7 and should run a 'big race. Standfast should’ be improved by his recent racing, though High Pitch cannot be passed over, especially if the going' is sticky. Clopton, Cruachan and Sir 'Mond must all -be respected, but it. looks like a struggle between the topweights, the palm being given to •MOSQUE.

In form, Fraser would hot be weighted out of the, Hot Springe Handicap, and Searcher Can aleo go fast. Laptbwn js reported to be' speedy, and so is ■Lord Vai, but FRASER will probablybe the. one asked for.

In anything like his beat form Jamieson’s: charge KING MARCH would be a “put and take’’ proposition for the Geyser Handicap. Sir Kay has the pace to carry him along for a stretch and Gold Lily and Currajong can also go.' But it looks like the three-year-old. * # * *

Jamieson seems to have a mortgage on the Arawa Park Stakes with the CHIEF JEWEL—COLUMBA bracket, and if either one or both start, backers will have to lay the odds. Lady Vane should be the best of the others.

The Tourist Handicap has drawn a good field with Refresher at the top of the. list.. Prince Vai and Sir Russell are sufe to be all the better for their recent racing and Honiton is on the up-grade. Royal Ruler and Sir Kay are also speedy, but it looks as if HONITON will beat Sir Kay (if reserved) and Refresher. * * * *

The innovation of, tlie five shilling totalisator by the TiJ.C. on Thursday, while eminently popular with the public, involved the officials in a considerable amount of extra work and caused delays which made the time of the last race somewhat late. ,The principal trouble was occasioned through the totalisator managers endeavouring to accommodate the five shilling investors who, while investing steadily, always commenced ■ late, leaving insufficient time for the staff to do all the business offering before closing time. The committee has decided to-day to close the machine-on schedule time, arid investors are advised if they wish to avoid being “shut out,” to get in early and avoid the late rush.
