RACING AND TROTTING.

(By

ARGUS).

Xamina-tione for th© Racing OluVs meeting axe due to-morrow night.

A strong contingent of Riccarton Worses will go south for the AYairaate meeting, which will be held on Thursday.

The Digger and Kilcalm are suffering from slig.it mishaps st present and they are not likely to fulfil their engagements at Waiamte this week

Pyiam.a. appears to have made a good recovery from Ihe lameness which prevented him iron, racing at the Banktf Peninsula meeting and he is booked for \V aim ate.

Cerberus has done some schooling over the Riccarton hurdles and shapes very well for a beginner. He is endowed with a IoL of pace and he should ievelop into a. smart performer at the jumping game.

The sbr-yerr-old gelding Ronifnrm. hr Coniform, is being exercised in the .lumping ring at Riccarton. as a preliminary to more serious tasks over the schooling hurdle*.

K. Macdonald's team has been strengthened by the addition of the hunter "Likelihood, who will be got ready For jumping event** during the winter He was placed three times in hunters’ races at the Grand National meeting last August and he is a very promising customer.

The three-year-old pacer Great Hope, who won the Great Northern Trotting Derby, bos had a spell for a few weeks, hut J. Bryce has taken him in hand again with a view to classic engagements at Addington and New' Brighton.

Riccarton stable* are well represented in their nominations for the Wellington Racing Club's autumn meeting, among those engaged being Gloaming Pluto. Winning Hit, Mies Mimic. Scrimmage, Whipping Boy. Angelo, Red Hind. Clean Sweep, Sungleam, Sunny Loch, Quarrelsome, Foo Chow, Palestrina, Jasz, Moorland. Mustard Pot, Temerin and Grim Joke.

Tbp Southland horses. Silver Peak and Rosed ay, have been nominated for Trent ham, bnt it by no means certain that they will make the trip r.orth. They are at present having a sbort spell.

Gloaming and Amytbas hare never r»iet m a raoe yet, but they are bervh included among the nominations for the Trentham Gold Cup, a two-mile weight- for-age event, to bo decided next month.

The action of the Wellington Racing Club in giving £IOOO for the Pacific Handicap, for two-year-olds at next month’s meeting, looks like being wed justified, as moot of the season's best youngsters are engaged. Farceur and Morose are the only notable absentees.

The nominations for the Trentha.m Cold Cup include six Riccarton representative*—Amytha*, Gloaming. Foo Chow, and the three-year-olds, Winning Hit, Phi to and Palestrina-

Coalition has been nominated for two flat events at the Wellington Racing C’!ub’» meeting next month. It seems evident from this that he is to be produced in good form for steeplechase events in the early part of the winter cnrnpai gn.

The t.wo-yeaavold flllv Epitaph, who ha? been off the scene since the beginnine of January, claims engagements in both the juvenile handicap* at Treutham next month.

In connection with the Amberley Racing Club 1 * annual meeting, to be held on April 1, special trains ha-e been arranged to take horses and passengers to Greney’& Road.

It was an unusual experience to have a day’s racing at Flemington without, Eurythmir as a competitor in the weight for age event, but he was missing from the field which contested the King 5 ? Plate, of two miles. on Saturday. His trainer. J. Holt, started David, who finished last. This must be taken as further evidence of loss of form, lor however he might have fared the three-year-old, David should have been, equal to beating Purser, who is only a fair handicap horse. With David off colour, the Ring's Plate resolved itself into a contest between the three-year-olds, and Australian CHrp form w»* repeated b? Harvest King winning from Sister Olive. while StaTe, who dead-heated with Targalooma over a mile and a half earlier in the week, was in third pla e. The results of the racing at the Victorian autumn meetings leave room for plenty of interest in the big event? to be decided 8t the Australian Jockey Club’s Faster fixture, especially if Gloaming is on hand to assist in the weight for sge contests.

The two-year-old filly Morose, who finished second to King's Trumpeter at Napier Park on Saturday, has some excellent handicap performance** to her credit this season under big weights She has won £1420 in stakes, aa a result of four win*, four seconds and a third. Morose is by Feramorz from Prosy, by Demosthenes from Snooze, the dam of Nappe. a successful jumper and also of Viyella an Absurd filly who has some two-vear-old form to her credit this season

v King’s Trumpeter, who won both the two-year-old handicaps at Napier Park last week, is by Olarenceux from Bon Bond, by Boniform from the imported mare Ormolu, bft Or me. King’s Trumpeter ran third in a rare, at Hastings in the spring and on his latest form he appears to be a useful youngster, though he has no present- claim to rank in the top class.

Demoness came unexpected! y into prominence- on Saturday, when she won two races at the Marlborough meeting, as she had never previously been a -winner, though she had been placed twice la*t season and once- this season. She is a five-year-old mare by Demosthenes. her dam being Mongonui. by Carbine from Moonga the dam of Seahorse.

Megan, who finished second each day of the Napier Park meeting, is a three-year-old filly by Solferino from Success. and is therefore a half-sister to Kilwinning (winner of the GreatNorthern Derby), Honesty and iLill©wen.

SOUTHLAND NOTES.

(Special to the ‘‘ Star.’”> INVERCARGILL, March 11. The well-known sprinter Michael a, who wafl recently retired from the turf, been booked to visit Kilbroney.* It is hoped that the daughter of R.obeby -—Jessie Lew-airs will produce a colt foal, capable of seeing out a journey, to the imported stallion. Wild Colleen, by Kilbroney—Sprig of Erin, has been thrown out of work but she will be barked about during the winter, to prepa.re her for next season. Her training for some months past has been iov the purpose of sobering her down, rather than as a preparation for racing purposes. Mr \V T. Hazlett will haw© a fine looking mare in his string next season, when Wild Colleen again roaches the training ground. The ancient Muztale has been taken up again by AV. Robinson, after being indulged in sr spell. The. Calibre— Wald a gelding may be tried at the hurdle racing game. Bonnie Winkie will have supporters from Southland for one or both bis important engagements at Riccarton at Easter- Judging by the bold manner in which he ra.u out ton furlongs in record time for the Gore course, he might feoe out the Groat Autumn Handicap distance, provided ho is not overloaded by the weight adjuster. The pacer Royal Step, who has bpen indulged in a spell since the For bury Park meeting early in February, lias been taken up again by W. Muir. The rest bas freshened up this stylish gelding to a noticeable extent. Very satisfactory acceptances have been received for the annual meeting (non-tots lisa tor) of the Otautau Trotting Club, to be held on Wednesday. Although it is not. intended to overtax him during the current. season, Wkrhnven has been doing well on the Southland Racing Club's tracks of late. As a result he may he engaged in the two-year-old events at the Canterbury Jockey Club’s autumn fixture. The descendant of Kilbroney and Rosyth is growing info a commanding horse, but he could easily be overdone.

F. W. Ellis is treating Silver Peak, Rosed ay and Salerno to a short holiday after their exertions in the holding going at Gore. The two firstnamed have been engaged at. the Riccarton Easter fixture, but the trip to Canterbury lias not yet been decided upon, as attractive money can be won nearer home with very much less travelling expense at this period. The people behind Lenamhor had a substantia! win when the Betel Nut— Ninian gelding accounted for the lvivorsdale Trot at Gore. Lenamhor is a verj T solid pacer and a stout stayer and it would not surprise -anybody here if he developed into a firet-cJa.ss performer. Another Gore winner. Kilmarnock, has taken an even gie-ater fancy of the critics. The grey son ot Harold Rothschild and a Bellman mare is a stylish pacer and there is no doubt that lie. can both go fast and stay out any oourae raced over in New Zealand.
