The entries for the Oamaru Jockey Club’s meeting include two Janet Gaynors, one in a trotting race and the other In a hack event. A para-

graph has appeared in several newspapers suggesting that this is unique, but it has happened before, and the two horses concerned were actually handicapped for the Otago Hunt meeting last spring. The pacing Janet Gaynor now in L. A. Maidens’s stabje, is by Adioo Guy from Lady Orange; the galloper is returned as by Rosenor or Last Dart from Beulah. It is not often that a horse is produced in two races on end, yet that was the task required of Killadar at Tauranga last Saturday. At his two previous starts, over the sticks at Ellerslie, he fell at the second and first hurdles respectively, so his two-on-end this time might not be considered out of order in an effort to make amends for his failures. He finished in the ruck in the hack mile, and with the saddle still on he was kept in the birdcage for the hurdles, in which he did much better, defeating all except Boughal. At this meeting last year Little Ruse won two successive races.
