RACING AND TROTTING

On and Off the Track A BUDGET OF NEWS AND VIEWS FIXTURES Racing: July 17—Hawke’s Bay Hunt. July 24—Rangltikei Hunt. July 24—South Canterbury Hunt July 31—Christchurch Hunt Trotting: Aug. 7, 11, 14—Metropolitan T.C. Acceptances for the South Canterbury Hunt meeting are due by 9 p.m. to-morrow. J. Bryce, junr., has been engaged to drive M. B. Edwards's horses next season. • • » « The Auckland jockey F. E. Baker made a good start on his South Island visit by winning the hurdle race at Waimate on Sunny Comet. Hostis, now in P. T. Hogan's stable, has not raced for some time, but he was a smart galloper as a three-year-old when trained by P. Mason. • • • • After losing about fifty yards before settling down in the Winter Trot at Waimate, Crusheen finished within 20 yards of the winner. • • • • It is probable that Santoft will be given an opportunity to make himself acquainted with the Riccarton fences, but he is not likely to race again prior to the Grand National. • • • • Horses entered for the Grand National that are unlikely to go to the post include Streamline, Sky Pilot, Allegretto, Black Marlin, Billy Boy and High Speed. • • • • Fair Weather, now racing in the same colours as Queen Dorothy, showed a flash of form in the Morven Handicap at Waimate, and ran out the mile in good style. • • • • Mr J. P. McQuilkin, who won the Waimate Hunt Cup with Uncle Jim, formerly raced Deportment, winner of two Great Western Stesplechases and a number of other jumping events. First Spec has two engagements at the South Canterbury Hunt meeting, but present intentions are that he shall run in the Pareora Steeplechase, with a well-known South Canterbury amateur as his pilot. • • • • High Speed was brought back to Washdyke last week for observation, and it has been decided that he will not race again this winter. He has not broken down, but rather than risk such an eventuality, his owner has decided to have him turned out till next season. .... A good many North Islanders appear to have been under the impression that Lockit, the two-year-old whcih raced on one day at Trentham, was the northern three-year-old Locknit. The names are so similar that it is easy to understand how confusion may arise. • • • • Three brothers Westenra rode in the Amateur Cup Steeplechase at Waimate on Saturday. This is probably a record for a totalisator meeting in this province, though three of the Elworthy family have more than once been competitors in point-to-point races. * • • • Among the horses being educated for hurdling at Washdyke is the Southland mare Nightsail (Nightraid-Set Sail), in P. T. Hogan’s stable. When raced on the flat in the south she had a reputation for pace but was difficult to handle.

After the Morven Handicap at Waimate on Saturday, the stipendiary steward investigated some crowding and a cross by Silver Lark to the rails just before leaving the straight. It was found that the occurrence was accidental, due to Silver Lark getting on to the heels of Salient Knight.

Although it has been stated that Ruaform might contest the Grand National Hurdles there is little likelihood of this. His owner, Mr W. R. S. Brewer, stated that Ruaform contracted a cold after racing at Wanganui and it was his intention to set aside the Ruapapa chestnut for a lengthy spell.

The former well-known cross-country rider D. J. Burgess, who handed in his jockey’s licence to take up training, has a string of eight young horses in work at Takanini. All are Australianbred and owned by an Auckland syndicate, which has been buying freely in the Sydney yearling market.

Padishah suffered slight knee trouble after racing in the Whyte Handicap at Wellington, and since his return to Hastings he has been blistered and turned out. This means he will nob be at the Grand National meeting, but J. Hennah may take him to Australia again in the spring.

Of the entries made for the Timaru Trotting Club’s New Zealand Trotting Stakes, of 1939, for three-year-old trotters, 14 claim Wrack as sire and three—a colt, gelding and filly—are by Gallant Knight. U Scott is represented by a filly. In the Timaru Nursery Stakes, for two-year-olds, of 1938, there are 21 representatives of Jack Potts. • • • • The increase of the stake for the New Zealand Cup to £2OOO brings it to within £lOO of the highest level of the boom years. The prize during the last 10 years has been: 1926, £2100; 1927, £1750; 1928, ££2000; 1929, £2000; 1930, £2000; 1931, £1000; 1932, £1000; 1933,’ £1000; 1934, £1275; 1935, £1275’ 1936, £1575.

A northern paper describes Nightwind, a runner in the Amateur Steeplechase at Waimate, as a four-year-old by Nightraid from En Parole, bred by Mr H. Elworthy and sold to M- H. V. Wareing. Nightwind is a seven-year-old by Nightraid from St. Winnow, and was bred by Mr A. F. Roberts. The En Parole four-year-old is Nightbound, who is still the property of his breeder.

Grampian, the Robespierre gelding which won the final event at Waimate on Saturday, is the only registered foal of the Greyspear-Waterspray mare Watermint. Waterspray is the dam of Pilliewinkie, Sprinkler, Arikiwai and other winners. Grampian was a trifle lucky, in that Hithyia lost ground at the start, but he is an improving hack and his pedigree is no bar to further success.

Hithyia was one of the unlucky performers at Waimate on Saturday. In her first race she appeared to be checked when Merry’ del Vai dropped back at the home turn, but she finished fast in second place. On her second appearance the Oamaru mare lost several lengths as a result of swerving just as the barrier went up, in spite of which she failed by only a neck to reach the winner.

Tagua, who won the harness event at Waimate on Saturday, was almost as well backed as the favourite, less than £5 separating him in the betting from Token. When he raced at Ashburton a few weeks ago he was bracketed with Micawber but there was not even a solitary Investor on the combination on the win machine, and it was the absolute outsider of a big field on the place totalisator.

The erection of a new stewards’ stand at the Waimate course is under consideration. The accommodation in the existing building has long been recognised to be hopelessly inadequate, but the committee did not feel justified in embarking on a building programme during times of financial stringency. A new judge’s box, with proper equipment, is another necessity that is likely to be provided in the not distant future.

Salient Knight made a successful entry to open company at Waimate. Since he reappeared at Waimate in the autumn after a long spell he has made steady improvement, and in ten starts has scored four wins and three seconds. He has won up to a mile and a quarter, and has displayed ability to carry weight. His racecard description, Nlghtraid-Rald, suggests that he might be incestuously bred, but there is nothing of that kind in his pedigree. His dam, Raid, is by Rokeby (by the Derby winner Rock Sand from a Two-Thou-sand winner, Aida) from the Vanguard mare Sortie. Fairy Maid, dam of Sortie, produced also Ambush (mother of Beresine), Adria (dam of Tolstoi), and Orloff, a brilliant three-year-old in a season which produced several good horses. Orloff won the Derby, Dunedin Cup, Wanganui Cup, and many "classics.” Raid herself has been responsible for Ransack, Pillage and Incursio, prolific winners in New Zealand and Australia, but it would not be surprising if Salient Knight eventually proved the best of her progeny.

At the last session of the Racing Conference, the hack limits were raised from £2OO and £4OO to £250 and £5OO, the change to take effect from August 1. The question has been raised whether horses which have won (in firsts) £4OO but less than £5OO will be qualified to race as hacks next season. The answer obviously is that they will. A point less clear is whether such horses are eligible for entry for hack races before their hack status has been restored, and several owners and trainers are interested. What they desire to know is whether a horse now unqualified can be entered before August 1 for races to be run at the Grand National meeting. When the limits were lowered some years ago, a ruling was given that horses which were hacks at time of entry were eligible to run in races for which they could not have been entered after August 1. In that instance it was held that a horse’s status was established at time of entry, and to be consistent it must be ruled now that an “open” horse cannot be nominated for a hack race. The question is one of considerable Importance, and should be decided by a competent authority before entries close for the Grand National fixture.

WAIMATE HUNT

SUCCESSFUL RACE MEETING THREE IN LINE IN CUP Seldom has a better day’s sport been seen on the Waimate Racing Club’s course than was provided by the Hunt Club’s meeting on Saturday, and in every way the gathering was the most successful held by the Hunt since the fixture was revived five years ago. Although mainly dull, the weather was fine, and conditions both overhead and underfoot were much better than had seemed likely overnight. The attendance was satisfactory, and the investments for the day totalled £5613/10/-, an increase of £1365 on last year’s turnover of £4248/10/-. Very appripriately, the best race of the day was witnessed in the Hunt Cup, in which seven of the runners were bunched for most of the way, and three of them went past the winning post in line. The hurdle race also provided a fine spectacle, despite the fact that most of the horses were novices in this branch of racing. Presentation of Trophies. The Hunt Club Cup and the Amateur Steeplechase Cup trophies were presented to the winning owners, Messrs J. P. McQuilkin and C. C. Douglas respectively, by Mrs W. J. Cooney, wife of the Deputy Master. Capt. N. A. Rattray, president and Master of the Hunt, said that the finish in the Hunt Club Cup was one of the finest which could have been seen at a steeplechase anywhere, hardly half a head separating the three placed horses. Although perhaps disappointed that the Waimate horses had been narrowly beaten, the Club extended its heartiest congratulations to Mr McQuilkin on his success. As several horses had fallen, the Amateur Cup Steeplechase had not provided a close finish, continued Capt. Rattray, but Waikari, which had won the point-to-point for three years in succession, had now proved Itself as a racehorse. Cheers were given for the winning owners and horses.

The locally-owned Waikari was made a slightly better favourite than Lord Reading for the Amateur Cup Steeplechase. When the stand double was reached the leaders were Macailfein, Lord Reading and Le Chicot. Le Chicot lost ground at the jump at the far turn and Waikari went into third place. Coming to the double the second time Lord Reading, Macailfein and

Waikari were just in front of Le Chicot. The last-named fell and Night wind and Macailfein ran off. Lord Reading and Waikari raced together along the back a dozen lengths ahead of Ariti, but Lord Reading and Ariti fell at the far turn, leaving Waikari to canter home a furlong in front of Ariti, who was remounted more quickly than Lord Reading and beat him for second by about the same margin. After Lord Reading and Ariti fell, Nightbound and Macailfein were set going again and fought out a good finish for fourth, Nightwind just securing the honour. Good Hurdle Contest. All eleven acceptors lined up for the Studholme Hurdles. Royal Pal and Mount Vai dead-heated for favouritism, carrying more than twice as much as the third selection, Sunny Comet. Royal Pal, Mount Vai and Master Reynard jumped the first hurdle together, clear of Superex and Trumpet Blast, but at the top of the straight Mount Vai hit hard and Royal Pal did likewise. Coming to the stand fence Double Shot, Toreador, Trumpet Blast, Superex and Mount Vai were at the head of a bunch, and turning into the back Trumpet Blast, Double Shot, Royal Amphora, Superex and Mount Vai were in charge, with all the others handy except Polar Star, Master Reynard and Joy Boa. Double Shot and Toreador led Trumpet Blast and Royal Pal across the top and to the turn, but Sunny Comet moved up fast on the inside and won by a length and a half from Toreador, who beat Double Shot by a length. Royal Amphora was close up fourth and Mount Vai next. Win for Master of Hunt. Prince Flaneur 436 was installed a good favourite for the Novice Stakes from Master Dingle 291 and Rosanna 252. Valaway swerved at the start and unshipped his rider. Warden’s Gift and Prince Flaneur led out from Donadea, and around the top the order was Prince Flaneur, Warden’s Gift, Donadea, Rosanna and Highbank. Prince Flaneur’s rider was looking round as he led to the straight from Donadea, Warden’s Gift and Rosanna, but the favourite failed to respond when challenged by Donadea and Rosanna, and Donadea won by a length from Rosanna, who beat Prince Flaneur by two lengths. Master Dingle was fourth and Highbank next. Donadea is owned and was bred by the Master of the Hunt. Great Finish in Hunt Cup. Macailfein, who had run in the ama-

teur race, was the only scratching lor the Hunt Cup. for which backers selected Night Parade-Bonny Buff 408, Hot Tea 242 and Miss Winston 237. Hot Tea, Elgindale and Harkaway led to the first jump, at which Prince Umberto registered the only fall in the race. Coming to the stand double, Harkaway was in command from Hot Tea and Elgindale, with First Spec, Uncle Jim and Bonny Buff close up. Miss Winston had dropped away to the rear. Racing up the back Harkaway, Hot Tea and First Spec were in line, just clear of Elgindale, and round the top Harkaway was just showing out from First Spec and Hot Tea, with Uncle Jim, Bonny Buff and Night Parade close behind them. Harkaway led First Spec, Hot Tea, Uncle Jim, Night Parade and Bonny Buff over the stand double the second time, the lot being pretty well bunched. They ran along the back still in close formation, but at the top Hot Tea had drawn clear of Uncle Jim and First Spec, who were closely attended by Night Parade, Harkaway and Bonny Buff. Hot Tea made a mistake at the last fence, and although V. Langford made a wonderful recovery the blunder cost him the race. He was still in front half way up the straight, but Uncle Jim and Night Parade challenged, and in a wonderful finish the verdict went to Uncle Jim by half a head from Night Parade, who beat Hot Tea by the same margin. First Spec was fourth and Bonny Buff next. Potent Improving. The West Coaster Potent 515 was installed a good favourite for the Waihao Handicap, the others with backing being Merry del Vai 301, Primak 248 and Hithyia 246. Derive stood on the mark, and took practically no part in the race. Potent and Merry del Vai were soon out in front from Primak and Hithyia, and at the home turn Potent and Merry del Vai were still in command from Dracula and Primak. Merry del Vai stopped quickly at the entrance to the straight and went back on Hithyia. Potent was not caught, and won by a length and a half from Hithyia, who finished fast and beat Dracula by half a length, with Primak a couple of lengths further back.

Salient Knight Again J. Ross’s stable provided half the field in -■he Morven Handicap, the open flat race on the card. In good betting Sali At Knight 532 was installed favourite from Silver Lark 348 and Mount Vai 335. From a good start Salient Knight, Fair Weather and Silver Lark were first to begin, and turning into the back Fair Weather and Salient Knight were just ahead of The Surgeon and Silver Lark, while Mount Vai pushed up into the second line at the far turn. Salient Knight and Fair Weather led into the straight frem Silver Lark, and they fought out the finish, Salient Knight winning by a short half length from Fair Weather, with Mount Vai a length and a half away. Royal Gallant was fourth. A New Brighton Winner. All the acceptors except Maurice Chimes, whose registration was not in order, were produced for the Winter Trot. Token 343 was sent out a slightly better favourite than Tagua 324, with King Drusus 285 in most demand of the others. Bamboozle and Crusheen failed to go away, and lost about 50 yards. When they had settled down, Token and Mandrell were leading from King Drusus and Tagua, and as they passed the stand this quartette was well clear of Locust and Auburn. At the far turn Token and Mandrell were still just ahead of King Drusus and Tagua, w’ith Locust handy, and this lot paced round the top with the race to themselves.

Token and Mandrell were beaten at the turn, and Tagua and King Drusus went into the lead from Locust. Tagua drew out to win by a length and a half from King Drusus, who was two lengths ahead of Locust. Crusheen and Token were next. Hithyia Unlucky. There were ten acceptors for the concluding event, the Waimate Handicap, but seven of them had raced earlier in the day, and scratchings reduced the starters to half a dozen. Grampian (a fresh horse) 490, Hithyia 449, Peacock 395 and Primak 370 elicited most support. Hithyia swung away pust as the barrier rose and lost some lengths, and Primak was a trifle slow to begin. Primak quickly made up his leeway, and at the end of two furlongs had been rushed up to the lead with Grampian, and the pair piloted Hithyia and Merry del Vai to the far turn. Grampian and Primak raced across the top two or three lengths ahead of Hithyia, but Primak did not hold his place, and turning into the straight the order was Grampian, Merry del Vai, Hithyia, Primak. Grampian hung on well to secure the verdict by a neck from Hithyia. with Peacock and Merry Del Vai together a couple of lengths back. Peacock drifted in the first two or three furlongs, r.nd was still well back at the home turn. REHANDICAPS Rehandicaps for the South Canterbury Hunt meeting are:— Hadlow Hurdles: Sunny Comet 9.5.
