The Amberley Racing Club’e meeting will be held at Riccarton on Saturday, April 28. Nominations will close at eight o'clock on Friday night, at the office of the Canterbury Jockey Club.
The work at Riccarton this morning was very uninteresting. The rain which fell on Monday has put the plough track out of action for a few days. and proceedings were chiefly confined to useful pacing on the sand. The number six grass track was open for horses going to Trentham, but the orly one to use it was Boadicea, who strode freely over five furlongs. She was the only candidate for Trentham who wa& on the course.
Malincourt and Indus were companions in a school over a round and
•» half of the steeplechase fences. Both Verses jumped well.
Meteorite and Trevella went in good «rvle while jumping four hurdles.
V ascular. Clean Sweep and Teleman v ere schooled over four hurdles. Teleman started behind the other pair but f“ve a good exhibition, as did Clean Sweep, while Vascular was beaten off the finish.
Manawapango jumped a. couple of irush fences, showing all hi d old dash over the obstacles.
Limelight, after being restricted to easy exercise on the lead for a few «iays, is again doing useful work. She went freely in useful pace work on the sand this morning.
Palestrina has recovered from the slight mishap which prevented her from fulfilling her Great Autumn engagement last week. She and her half-ci-ster, Wink, got through useful tasks this morning, and it is probable they *ili both be racing at the Ashburton meeting next month.
Songbird has been sent home to hi» owner m Southland. The Kilbroney horse has been showing signs of unsoundness for some lime oast S. Trilford haring had a lot. of anxiety over him. He will be given a long spell, but, it seems doubtful if he will stand much more work on the tracks.
11. Cntts will leave to-night for Treniham, with Winning Hit, Owlscombe and Viewpoint. After fulfilling their engagements at the Wellington Racing Ciltb’s meeting, they will go oil to Aw a” PUIM, to race at the Manawatu Racing Club's mooting next week. F. D. Jones will take Murihaupo. 1 rgency. Prosperity and The Reaver north to-night for the Wellington Racing Club's meeting. ~R goes north to-night with Many Kittle. He will race at Trentliam this week and will then travel cn to Awapuni. R. J. Mason was to hav e left for trentham on Monday night with Cupidon. Pluto. Vespucci and Parody, but owing to the stormy weather" he delayed his departure until to-night. Boadicea will be shipped to Trentham tO-night. She ig in good fettle and is likely to race well on the trip. J. H. Prosser will leave to-night for 1 rentham with Bon Spec, Lovesign and Goldspinner. F. W . Ellis will take the Southland pair. Silver Peak and Laughing Eyes, north to-night. They should shape well in their engagement's at TrentVhe Southland trainer. W. Robinson, intended going to Trentham with Warha veri and Glenshine. but the trip has boon cancelled. They will he raced at the South Canterbury meeting next i'eek. after which they will return The first of this season’s yearlings 'or Sir George Clifford's Stonyhurst >fud are due at- Riccarton to-morrow night.

The Sir Laddo gelding Pawerewere has joined E. Scoullar’s stable at Ric-cart-on and he will be got ready for another campaign in steeplechases during the winter.
The hunter Intolerance. who ran second in the Tolly-bo Plate at the last Grand National meeting, has joined J. B. Pearson's team. The Zimmerman gelding does not look as if lie would stand, a great deal of work ou hard tracks.
Mazama was lame as a result of his efforts in the hurdle race at Riccarton on Easter Monday and he may be out for a long spell.
Mireusonta was lame after his first race at Feilding but won in good style on the second day. He is one of the fancied candidates for the Railway Handicap at Trentham, where he may race well, with a prospect of a soft track.
Startle, who won the two-year-old handicap at Avondale on Monday is by Flying Start from Tanora, and is thus n half brother to Scotch Mixture, a
double winner at Feilding. Startle’s sire is by San Francisco from Fleetfoot. V hen raced by his breeder, Sir George Clifford, lie was a high-class two-year-old, but unfortunately wind troubles interfered with his later prospects. With fair opportunities he should make good as a sire.
Roseday is the early favourite for the Thompson Handicap, while the Auckland sprinter. Royal Blood, is one of the short-priced lot for the Railway Handicap.
South Island horses hold prominent positions in several races at Trentham. They are top-weights in fonr races, and are near the top in the two other handicaps on the first day.
The grass track at New Brighton was to have been open this morning for horses engaged at this wek’.*, meeting, hut in view of the rain which fell ve©terday the track was not available.
The Ellesmere Trotting Club has secured a good list of nominations for its meeting, and even without the assistance of the totalisator, the club should provide some interesting sport at Leeston next week.
Mr V . G. Stead appears to have acted rather hastily when he parted with Surveyor. The Nassau horse did not win any money last season, but after doing a. season at tli e stud he was put into work again a lew months Since then he has been gradually improving and following on two placed performances, he lias won three times during the last few weeks. Saturday’s effort at Avondale was his best, and he may do still better, for a s a young horse he represented top class. V . R. Kemball has had verv little luck so far with his Australian campaign. Insurrection hag earned no money, while Trespass gave his best showing on the trip on Saturday, when he ran third in the Haugen Handicap. one mile and a half, at the Australian Jockey Club’s meeting.
Mr W. Armstrong has resigned the position of secretary of the South Wairaiapa Trotting Club, which he has held for many years.
Patrons at the Wellington Racing 1 Club’s meeting next week will be in- , terested to view the improvements that ; have been carried out since last meet- I ing, and those which are still under J way (writes “The Watcher” in tho’ “ Dominion”). Work on the new stand i will not be completed, but all its ac- j commodation will be available, including the top deck, which seats 2500. The I charge of os which the club intends to ' make for the use of this deck should j not prevent the public making free use ! of it, for the view of the course is un- \ rivalled, particularly at the northern end, where over an area of several feet spectators will he sitting right over the judge in the deck below. No course in New Zealand affords such a chance to view the finish of a race. AVONDALE RACES. SECOND DAY. (Special to the “Star.”) AUCKLAND, April 9. The second clay's programme of the Avondale Jockey Club’s autumn meeting was opened with the Waikumete Hurdle Handicap, for which Miss Melva was first choice in a field of eight. Peter A mans was a good second favourite, with Oranga, Passin’ 1 hrough and Silverton all claiming good support. Peter Amans took charge at the first hurdle, but wag soon displaced by Miss .Melva. Going along the back Mis S Melva led from Oranga, with Peter Amans next and Silverton well placed. Oranga momentarily headed Miss Melva approaching the last hurdle, but the latter outjumped her challenger and went on to win nicely. Of the ten starters for the Dominion Handicap, Glenidle was favourite. Just Quietly, Nocturne and John Dix also receiving solid support. Nocturne, Just Quietly and Electrode were quickest to begin, the first-mentioned leading along the back stretch, where Larrikin ran up to the leader. Rounding the bend to the straight Nocturne shook off Larrikin and going on was never headed. Just Quietly and Glenidlc challenged in the straight, but could not reach the leader. Seven youngsters faced the barrier for the Nursery Handicap. Startle being the public fancy, whh Aerofortis, Gold Rain and Uralla next in demand. From the barrier Startle and Aerofortis went out p+ a fast pace and led to the straight The pair ran wide at the bend, leaving Uralla with a clear run on the rails. In a good finish Startle lasted long enough to win from Uralla, with Aerofortis close up and Gold Ram fourth just in front of Sleepy Sol. The Autumn Handicap saw Loyal Irish installed favourite in a field of eleven. Surveyor was a good second choice, with Tnfante, Ro.\nl Abbey, Illumination and Uncle Ned well snipported. Tactful made all tho run ning, with Surveyor, Uncle Ned, Illunij ination and Boomerdav all well placed i Tactful entered the straight with i I good lead and seemed likely to win j from end to end. Inside the distance j Uncle Ned came along with a strong
challenge and headed the leader. Boomerday came with a great rattle at the finish, but could not reach Uncle Ned, who won in good style. Bitholia was fourth, with Royal Abbey and Surveyor elcee up. Never Despair was in most demand for the Mount Eden Steeplechase. Whipcord, Gay Boy and No Bother getting plenty of support. After Totara Jack had baulked at the second fence. Whipcord worked his way to the front, and made nearly all the running, with Never Despair, Gay Boy, Vociferate and No Bother following him in that older. Going along the back the last time Whipcord was just clear of Never Despair, Gay Boy and Vociferate, who were in a bunch. Whipcord was slightly in front of Vociferate at the last fence, but the latter tackled him in the run home and got up to win by a neck. Gay Boy was two lengths further back third, with Never Despair fourth and No Bother last. There was a field of fifteen runners for the Waitakerei Handicap, a race for apprentices. Mala tour was made a good favurite, with the bracket (Nanmtere and Praiseworthy) next iu request, King Quin and Sheffield being at the head of the others in the betting. Malatour found bis feet quickest and led for three furlongs, with Emerald Hill and Florent hanay. Then Emerald Hill got to the front but was coon joined by Florent and then by Smoke Concert. The two latter were first into the straight, with Lady Lois and Emerald Hill well up. Florent headed Smoke Concert in the run to the post and went on to win by » length from Queen Abbey, who finished well and got second place, half a length in front of Smoke Concert. Pagoda was fourth and Lady Lois next. A big field of twenty-two went out for the Mount Roskill Hack Handicap. White Hope was installed favourite, with Te Kara, Marble Bell and Sans Gone backed in that order. Arch Laddie and Utakura carried the field along to the straight entrance, where Aeroform, Marble Glass, White Hope, T* Kara and Sans Gene wer c well placed. In the run to the judee Sans Gene, Marble Glass and White Hope challenged and then Te Kara came with a late run. In a good finish Sans Gene secured the verdict by three-quarters ot a length from Te Kara, who was a head in front of White Hope. Far : North was fourth, with Marble Glass ! end Marble Bell next.
Ihe meeting was brought to a conclusion with the Morningside Welter Handicap, for which Fleeting was the public choice, Gold Kip, Bute Sound and Some Fashion getting most backing of the others. Bute Sound began quickest, but with two furlongs covered Lady Ridicule was in charge, with Bute Sound. Quaestor, Some Fashion, Golden Dream and Daddy’s Girl as her closest attendants. Lady Ridicule led across the top and round the bend, where Bute Sound and Golden Dream vvere almost on terras. At the distance Lady Ridicule had shaken Bute Sound and Golden Dream off and. stalling off s< late run by Some Fashion, won bv a leugth. Bute Sound was a neck farther back third, with Daddy's Girl fourth and then Gold Kip and Quaestor. ENGLISH NOTES. (Special to the “ Star.”) LONDON, February 15. Groomsport, the four-year-old trained by Tom Coulthwaite at Heduesford. is still an undefeated hurdler. He was first introduced to our notice at Liverpool in November, when he made a very favourable impression, and since then he has won every rac e in which he lias taken part, the while a. contemporary in Giasper, from the Trespasser stable, has been piling up a winning sequence. The latter's sequence, however, was not started until after an initial outing at Newbury, where Groomsport gave him much weight and a sound beating. Actually that early form has now been confirmed, but judging by the bettino* a few days ago in the General Peace Hurdle Race at Li'ugfield. Gasper’s friends feared no such occurrence and made him an odds-on favourite. There were only three runners, the remaining competitor being an older horse, Ulster Division, in the same ownership as Groomsport. Mr D. W. Barnett declared to win with the four-year-old and so the race became virtually a match for the junior hurdling championship. George Duller wag on Gnspej;, who looked remarkably well and was very much on his toes as he was being mounted—quite in contrast to his chief opponent, who remained completely placid, as if conscious of his superior power and th© certainty that he would succeed. A horse that is never knocked about to win his races naturally retains his full confidence, and he was a model of perfect training.
Duller chose to make the running, but Escott on Ulster Division saw to it that he was never allowed to poach anything of a lead. Nevertheless, tho two drew some lengths ahead ot Groomsport. and at on© time, in the climb of the hill along «the- back stretch, the. latter must have been six to eight lengths behind. The bookmakers at once slightly expanded the odds against him, and hi s backers in som© cases became nneasv. Yet it was apparent to a careful observer that Frank "Wootton. his jockey, was showing no sign of anxiety. He was content to remain where he was for a long time, just outside the barrage of flying mud thrown up by the other two. Even when they turned into the straight the cap r etween them was fairly considerable. Two hurdles from home. however, Wootton showed us that he had reduced the leeway, and then in a flash th© situation changed dramatically. Groomsport loomed alongside with supreme ease and instead of carrying on with something of a struggle Gasper seemed to compound in a stride or two. Duller pulled out his whip, but it was of no avail. His horse rolled and swerved as if suddenly pumped a.li out. and from that point- it- was all . resolution. Groomsport went on to "win as hri jockey pleased—-hv what the judge assessed as five lengths. Gastier might have been second and so hare qualified for £SO, but Duller was so occupied with the importance of accenting defeat and not unneces••'liliv distressing his mount that he Unwed Ulster Division to gain the J minor prize. The time of 4min 0 losec for the two miles was very good indeed. considering how thoroughly vielding was. the going after several davs of he.nvv rain. The conditions as to tli© weights to !>e carried in this General Peace Hurdle—so named after n hurdler who was a crack performer of his period—ere not based ou what is accepted as
the weigbt-for-age scale for hurdling, and really they were so prohibitive for the older horses that they could have no chance at all with the best of the young ones. They were the best part of a stone worse than weight-for-age •so perhaps it wfc s not surprising that such as Double Up, Forest Fire and Santaron were missing. Mr Wilmot, the handicapper. adhered to the weights which he settled on when the race was instituted a year ago. At that time Trespasser was outstanding, and to have placed them lower, in his opinion, would have meant virtually presenting the race to Trespasser. There i s nothing of the class and brilliance of the last-named or the horse alter which the race is named in the land of the living now, and so it- was that the latest- celebration could only be for four-year-olds. As is happened it was a great success, since it brought together the two rivals and convincingly settled the question as to which is the better. There is, of course, still the smart King Pipvin flora Poole’s stable. but he would not, in my view, be able to cope with Groomsport, judging by what was seen at Lingfield.
j The first returns of club betting on J tn e Grand National and Lincolnshire Handicap have appeared, but it cannot he said that they are illuminating or • carry conviction in anv way. Ido , not know how much money it would j take to make a hoz*se favourite at this ! moment, say for the Lincoln Handi- | cap. Very little, t imagine. There J is no inducement to bet thus early i here, except perhaps, on such obvious j form horses of last year as Roman 1 Bachelor and Monarch. Certain?v no : owne r would wish to throw out- a | commission now—five weeks before the j event—l mean the sort of commission j which would drag in the public as in- | terested participants. How car* any | owner and trainer know bow their ; horse ig going to be towards the end oi March? How can they know how lit will fare with the other horses? The day is gone when these things are chanced. The odds are not long enough for the chances to be worth while, and, moreover, a betting owner when he goes to market in all "seriousness likes, at any rate, to be fairly well assured that his horse is going to be a certain starter, apart from ail the other essential considerations.
At the present moment Forewarned, Duettiste, Arravale and Gerald L are in good demand for the Grand National, with the first-named a clear favourite. No one can gainsay that this is a decidedly formidable quartet and from which the winner is quite likely to spring. I well recall the bold show which Forewarned made two years ago, when he was only a halftrained horse because of his very troublesome forelegs. They would insist on tilling and causing serious stoppage iu his work. Yet ho remained on all four legs much longer than most others, and had gone far on the journey before something happened to him. He is a different hors© to-day. Possibly the change dates from last summer, when be was sent from his training quarters «it Wroughton to Tenby in YV ales, the old home of the Anthonys, and twice a day walked in. the sea. That treatment continued for ten weeks and the result was to dear the legs of humour and harden the tendons and joints. It was also suspected that the trouble was accentuated by digestive ills, and accordingly his oats were cut down, so that until quite a short time ago he was* getting only 81b a day—the ration given (sometimes) to a mule or troop horse during the war when oats were oats. Now he i 'ttivig 161 b of&oats and all the whU hi, legs are keeping clean and he is o.\. ed the wearing of boots and bandages. He ought, of course, to have Inflation still further increased before the race at Aintree. and there may be some anxiety as to what may happen then. But for the present Forewarned is a. sound horse and he has demonstrated the fact of his excellence when properly trained by his admirable record this season. RACE RESULTS. AVONDALE JOCKEY CLUB.
