FROM TRACK AND STABLE

PAGANELLI IN FORM. PROMISING YOUNGSTERS.

. (By

“Hurry On.”)

The capable South' Island jockey L. J. Ellis will ride Orapai at Feilding. Ellis was successful on the. big chestnut at Trentham in October. The Wellesley and C.J.C. Welcome Stakes winner Red Manfred is reported to have done well since returning from Christchurch, and is developing into a fine colt. The juvenile, bears a marked resemblance to his sire, Manfred. His next start will be in the Great Northern Foal Stakes at Ellerslie.

Smith Brothers, who raced Gaine Carrington and Peter Jackson in Australia this spring, are reported to be sending five two-year-olds to the veteran Victorian trainer J. Scobie.

Arisis is the only winner on the opening day of the Feilding meeting last year that is competing to-day. This son of Thespian will be having his first race since winningest Awapuni last May and is not likely, to repeat his success of last year in the Flying Handicap. The Gay Shield—Persis two-yearrold Gay Seton is racing consistently. In five starts he has. had a win, two seconds and two thirds. He is well up in the. weights and, being a little on the small, side, may .find it hard to gain a place in. the future. Gay . Crest, ’ Concentrate and Cricket Bat, figuring among, the nominations for the Tinwald Handicap, will provide the class at the Ashburton meeting. The first-named pair would be more at home over a: longer journey, but they should be equal to good performances at a mile, a distance which will suit Cricket Bat well. These three may be racing at Auckland during the holidays, and the Ashburton contest? will be a good preliminary. The Auckland handicapper was evidently impressed by Golden Wings’'two wins at Ellerslie at the beginning of the month as in the Railway Handicap, he has placed the son of Lackham on the same mark as Cadland; Cadland fairly romped home in the Stewards’ with 9.8 on his back.

Paganelli was taken to the front from the rise of the barrier on the first day at Takapuna and just failed to stall off the challenges of Lady Quex and Exaggeration over the last furlong. In the seven-furlong event on Monday he was ridden behind the field and with a great run over the final stages won easily. Though perhaps not as brilliant as he was two or three years ago, there would seep! to be more races ahead of this son of Lord Quex yet. Gay Idea was the unlucky horse of the Alison Cup at Takapuna on Saturday and was running over everything at the finish. It appeared that had his rider made his move a little sooner he would have won. Gay Idea figures in the cup at Dargaville to-morrow with a handy weight of 7.4 and it would seem only a matter of his going to the post to be favourite.

Tavern Knight, successful in the juvei nile event at Takapuna on Monday, is i another of the successful Gay Shield breed. His preparation has been inter- . rupted owing ,to a bad cold early in i the season. He seems to be right again and,scored in fine style. He was coupled on the machine with Corqjiis, and, incidentally, enabled the numerous backers of that filly to collect a dividend. Several of the jockeys who were refused a renewal of their licenses by the Victoria Racing Club’s committee at the beginning of the season, and who recently applied for reinstatement, have been informed that it will be useless for them to apply again until licenses are reviewed for 1933-34. Present indications point to longer terms of sentence, as regards time, than was thought when the jockeys were refused their tickets. C. Emerson is breaking in a two-year-old filly by Silverado from Tuahine, bred and owned by Mr. D. O. Rutherford. The youngster has looks and breeding to' recommend her, and is to be given plenty of’time before she will be paraded in public. Gay Seton, a two-year-old winner at the Waikato meeting, is a half-sister to Tuahine. Tuahine is by Lucullus-from Persis by Marble ■ Arch. ' : r ■ ■ ■ ■ » HAWERA TRACK NOTES. HORSES LEAVE FOR FEILDING. There was only one gallop of any consequence on the Hawera track on Monday morning. Richfield and Chief Line, both carrying fair weights, ran six furlongs in Im. 18s. on the plough—a useful gallop. Tentcall and Tenacre went once round at a good working gallop, both moving well. Constant Sun and Golden Hair sprinted two furlongs in 255. ' The Idanoe filly in J. Fryer’s stable and Green Linnet ran four furlongs in 51s. . ' As all the local horses are very forward they did not require the usual winding-up gallop. Little Doubt, Miss Cavendish and Hampden returned home from Levin on Monday as their form did not warrant staying for Feilding. The following Hawera horses left for Feilding by the express yesterday:—Richfield, Constant Sun, Golden Hair, Awaken, Aga Khan, Chief Line and Attentive. They are all well forward in condition and should give a good account of themselves. Aga Khan has not done much fast work since returning from Christchurch, but he looks very well and one mile and a distance will be all in his favour. Awaken has done a lot of solid work, so a race at Feilding should see her at her best again by Christmas. HAWERA TROTTING CLUB. RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURE. In his presidential address to the Hawera Trotting Club on Monday Mr. B. McCarthy dealt with the receipts and expenditure of last year. The president regretted having to report a loss on the year’s operations of £863 14s as against £1196 4s 8d for the preceding year. The loss was much greater than wbs anticipated by the committee, this despite drastic economies. Stakes were reduced from £3330 to £l6BO and expenses were reduced under the following headings: Wages, casual staff £123, totalisator staff £102; band £B, insurance £3, taxi hire £2, advertising £l2, printing and stationery £7, luncheons £2B, salaries £l9, levies £44; total £351. There was a donation of £5O the previous year for earthquake relief and this did not recur. Totalisator revenue fell by £1312, nominations and acceptances by £520, gate receipts by £295, race book sales by £5O, privileges by £47, subscriptions £l5, interest £74, a total of £2313. Referring to taxation Mr. McCarthy quoted the results of last year. Five trotting clubs made an aggregate profit of £1515 and the other 26 an aggregate loss of £12,000. The 31 clubs distributed £lOO,OOO in stakes and paid £95,000 in taxation to show a loss of about £ll,OOO.
