Nominations for the Wellington Racing Club’s winter meeting will close at nine o’clock to-night. * * * * The Canterbury Jockey Club’s new tractor was resppnsible for a mishap at Riccartou this morning. It was being used to haul the plough, which was turning over the ploughed track. Goldstep was working on the sand track at the same time, when she took fright, and dropped her rider. Fortunately, the filly was caught, without doing much damage to herself beyond the fright. The tractor, while exceedingly useful, seems out of place while the horses are on the tracks.

Mr J. F. Buchanan has decided to ; retire the two-year-old filly Torque, by Martian from Torqxiato, and she will probably be mated with one of her owner’s English-bred horses, Paladin or Diacquenod. ifc * * * A. M’Aulay will make another start With Sun Up this week. He may be racing at the Grand National meeting and a trip to Australia in the spring is a possibility. * >«< * * 11. Nurse is keeping Projector and Rapier busy with useful tasks. Both horses are in good fettle and they will probably be racing at Trentham next month. * * * # Roy Reed rode two winners at the Napier Park Racing Club's meeting on Saturday, and as a result has increased his lead in the jockey's premiership to four and a half, his total being 73-r to C. Emerson’s 69. * * * Mr J. Bull took three horses to the Napier Pai£c Racing Club’s meeting— Xgata. Brigadier Bill and Ruby Ring—and won a hurdle race with each of i them. These three and Omaha should make a useful team for Trentham dnd Riccarton. * * * * Landbird has made a good recovery from the trouble that occurred to him in Auckland, and he will have to be reckoned with in some of the big jumping extents at the Trentham and Riccarton meetings. * * * » F. Tilley's team at Trentham next month will probably include Kilia and Shining Armour, who were winners at the recent Otaki meeting. Star Shell, a four-year-old gelding by Battle Eve, is shaping satisfactorily at Awapuni in his education as a hurdler. Reports from the Waikato state that there will be a good representation of horses from that district at the Wellington Racing Club’s meeting next month. The much discussed jumper, Llewel- ! Ivn, has so far run all his races in j the Auckland district, but it is quite on the cards that the big son of Lucul lus will be given an opportunity to distinguish himself at Trentham next month when the Wellington winter meeting comes rourd. At the New South Wales sales held in the autumn of 1924 a yearling brother to Windbag gave rise to spirited bidding, and he was bought by Mr E. L. Baillieu for 1600 gs. The Magpie colt, who is known as Bicolour, has not so far won a racq. but he is looked upon as a colt who will be seen to advantage when he competes at three years old. The Australian Jockey Club’s Derbv of 1927, which, with its £BOOO in added money, places it a long way in front of any classic race in the Southern Hemisphere. has attracted an entry of 616. In referring to the large entrv the Sydney “ Referee ” remarks:—“ The record field for the race is sixteen, which gives an idea of how lucky a buyer or breeder must be to get hold of a horse with classic pretensions.

Leading Melbourne stables are well represented in the Caulfield ard Melbourne Cups (remarks the Sydney “ Referee”;. J. Scobie’s stable is represented by thirteen horses in the Caulfield Cup and a similar number in the Melbourne Cup. E. Fisher has twelve in each race. L. M'Calman has eleven in the Caulfield Cup and ten in the Melbourne Cup. L. T. M’Cann has nine horses in the Caulfield Cup and seven in the Melbourne Cup. I). J. Price has five in the former race and seven in the Melbourne Cup. J. Holt has a team of eleven candidates in the Caulfield Cun and seven in the Melbourne Cup. His cup team includes Heroic, Metellus, Victorian King, Master Vibrator, Beau Fils, Treefox, Smoke ; Bomb, Egyptian Idol, Royal Joker, Royal Charter and Tullius. ❖ * * -I: In a recent issue of the London "Sporting Life and Sportsman” its " Special Commissioner ” mentioned that he was recently at a stud in England where there was an installation of ultra-violet rays for the purpose of sterilising the drinking water and promotj ing the growth of backward foals and yearlings. Hs * * j Information is to hand from Sydney that Runnymede has resumed training j j with a view to engagements during the j coming spring. When the New Zea- , land geldirg wound up at Rand wick in ; April he was under a cloud owing to i some unsoundness, and it is satisfacI torj' to learn that he is once again included with the active brigade. The Sydney sportsman, Mr T. C. Trautwein, paid a big price for Runnymede when he bought him from Mr J. S M’Leod last November, and it will be pleasing to chronicle a good win for him when the big events of the coming H 1 season are up for decision.

The three-year-old Diogenes (Cynic— Minora) and his five-vear-old stable mate Sottano (Nassau—Cassock) were priced recently by a South Island owrer, but so far no business has been transacted. * * * * G. Price has won twenty races, with, eleven different , horses, on. Sydney courses this season, ten of his successes t being gained at Randwiek. Leading Lady, a recent winner at a Sydney pony meeting, is a three-year-old filly by Limond from Cintra, darn of the Riccarton hurdler Radiac. * * * * Trentham stables this year are better \ off for rising two-year-olds than has been the case for several seasons. The majority of them have already done a little useful work and have shown that they know how to handle themselves, writes “ The Watcher,” while there are one or two very good lookers amongst them, the filly by Leighton from Cooing being a particularly nice youngster. She is in Captain J. Gage Williams’s stable. H. Telford’s Paper Money fillv rom Ueronilla is also a taking sort and this pair are probably a little more forward than the others. * * * sic Though Royal Abbey was not included among the winners at the recent Great Northern meeting, the big chestnut made such a bold dash for victory in the Winter Steeplechase, and ' displayed such dash in his jumping, as to make it quite clear that he is" not yet with the back numbers, writes . " Phaeton.” When the son of Quin Ab- 1 bey wound up at Ellerslie in the winter j of 1920 he was sent up to auction at a ; reserve of 750 gs, but the bidding only l reached to 700 gs, and he was passed in. I A suspicious-looking fore fetlock scared quite a number of keen men who were | wishful to buy him. However, he was ! left on Mr R. Hannon’s hands, and in 1 running through his list of performances in the interval I find that he has captured stakes to the value of £6265 for the Waikato sportsman. It may be imagined that Mr Hannon has many times rejoiced that no one bid 750 gs for Royal Abbey when he stood in the sale ring six years back. Royal Abbey has, I find, contested 101 races to date, so that he cay very appropriately be entered with the hard-worked brigade. * * * * It was announced some little time ago that the two-vear-old colt Muratti, donated by the Melbourne sportsman, Mr B. Chaffey to St Vincent’s Hospital, to be disposed of under the art union principle, was won by Mr J. M’Crostie. a labourer working at Birchip. The 1 colt was submitted to auction in Mel- , bourne recently and gave rise to spirited bidding. Mr John Wren put in the ' last bid (lOOOgsi and the colt was ] knocked down at the sum named. Muratti, who is a highly-bred colt by ! Spearhead, is well engaged at three ' years old, and he figures in the Victoria j Derby and St Leger. * * * * Stanley Wootton is a young Atis-J tralian who is doing well as a trainer j in England. lie is a son of a wellknown Australian, Richard Wootton, j who trained with great success in England for a number of years, and a brother to Frank Wootton, one of the foremost riders of his day, Stan- ! ley Wootton recently secured a mon- I oply of the freehold rights of the I ground used for training gallops at 1 Six Mile Hill, and is leasing the rights for gallops at Middle Hill. This presumably means that any trainer whom Wootton considers objectionable will have to move from Epsom. Without any ground on which to gallop his \ horses it would be useless remaining. At the same time Wootton is too levelheaded to do anything likely to create antagonism to himself. During the few years he has been training Wootton has turned out his full share of winners, and the fact that he is able to make the investment mentioned is proof that he has found the game profitable. He does not lay himself out for big races, but places his horses well in small ones, and bets solidly when he thinks his chance a winning one. Wootton, however, does not con fine his operations to racing, having interests in businesses wide apart from horses. * * * * Germany is going to give the American thoroughbred market a trial. Next August fifteen yearlings bred by Baron von Lyncker at the Harzburg Stud in Germany, are to be offered at auction at the Saratoga sales. They represent the best wanning sires in Germany, and a point in their favour with American buyers will be that most of the youngsters descend from leading English families. It seems strange, though, to read of Germany in opposition to America and England at thoroughbred sales. TROTTING NOTES. The applications for racing and trotting dates for next season show once , more a regrettable clashing of dates between meetings in Christchurch and Dunedin. The summer meeting of the New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club is scheduled for Saturday, February 12. which is the second day of the Dunedin Jockey Club’s Cup meeting. Many sportsmen in Christchurch and • Dunedin are interested in both meetings, but under this arrangement they will have to make a choice, whereas they might assist at both if a clash was avoided. The easiest solution of the difficulty would be to hold the Metropolitan Trotting Club’s meeting on February 5, a week after the Forbury Park Trotting Club’s fixture. Mr J. R. M’Kenzie and Mr G. J. Barton have had an interesting race for first place on the winning owners’ list in the trotting sport this season. There is not much between them now, but Mr M’Kenzie seems assured of having the lead when the final returns arc made up - * * * * NelSon Ata is racing very consistently at present. He won at Oamaru a few weeks ago, and added to his record by beating a useful field at Auckland on Saturday. As he is only a four-year-old, his form is good, and he should find his way into the best unhoppled • trotters’ company in due course. * * * * Talaro has raced consistently of late, but with rather exasperating luck. He won three races earl}'' in the season, scoring over two miles at Addington in August and November and in a milesaddle race at the Otahuhu meetin, at the end of November. Since the he has not captured a stake, but he has earned place money seven times.

South island horses raced promin- j ently. at the Auckland Trotting Club’s ] meeting on Saturda}’. In the Camp I bell Handicap, the principal event of the day, Canterbury stables provideo J the three placed horses, with Logan Lou, Cardinal Logan and Talaro. The Cornwall Handicap was won by the Oamaru gelding Brentloc, with Bessie Logan second: the Winter Handicap by Nelson Ata, with Fairtight third; and the Marconi Handicap by Ayr, with Sea Pearl third. Direct Wood won the Hobson Handicap, while Money Spider was second in the Stewards’ Handicap and Ratana was third in the Mangere Handicap. The South J sland visitors thus won five of the seven races on the programme, while they earned place-money in the other I two events. AUCKLAND TROTS. FIVE SOUTH ISLAND WINNERS. (Special to the “Star. , AUCKLAND, June 19. The Auckland Trotting Club’s winter meeting was opened in threatening weather, but there was a very large attendance, despite heavy showers which fell just as the crowds were sotting ready to go to the course. The racing was very interesting, the contests being keen, with close finishes in most of the events. The fields were too large to induce punters to bet with confidence and this defect will require to he remedied if the sport is to continue in favour. The track was heavy, but afforded good going, although times vsere \v large field in the Mangere Handicap saw a capital contest, with a fine finish. Dillon Huon looked a winner along the back the last time, as he was some lengths in front of Ratana, the latter having got a fine run on th« rails. At the bottom of the straight the leader tired, as did Ratana, and the field closed up. A capital finish saw Bawldy Locanda stay a little better than the rest in the heavy ground, and he was a winner by a narrow margin. The winner was slow to begin but gradually made up his ground, although never reaching the front division till the finish. Bawldy Locanda was carefully driven by his owner, S. J. Roe, whose father trains the winner. Dillon Huon, when he reached the front, was proclaimed the winner, as he has a big local reputation, but he found the heavy conditions against him. Ratana went a fine race. He had to fight his way for a position early and with a number in the field breaking and being driven practically all over the track, J. Bryce, jun., was lucky to escape trouble. Jewel Pointer paced soundly all the way, but Gold Jacket, the favourite, did not seem to get going properly. Manna and Stanmoor went a good, mile and were then done. Peter -Bingen was forced to cover a lot of extra ground, but he went a good race under the circumstances. Kelson Ata was favourite in a large field for the Winter Handicap, for trotters, and although he had to begin slowly, on account of having so many horses in front, liis owner-driver took plenty of time and allowed the trottor to get on his feet. Once Nelson Ata got Into his stride he was not long in reaching the front, remaining there till the finish. Nelson Ata won at Oamaru last month and he is now a much better trot ten He was well mannered at the post and-ptayed the journey satisfactorily, under trying conditions.- The 1 lawem owned but Canterbury bred .Sister Beatrice trotted a fine race and is a much improved, trotter to the form she showed on Canterbury tracks. W. T. Lowe drove .F»i irlight in. good style, but he could not maintain his position with the two who finished in front of him. although the Ashburton trotter came at the extreme end with a. decided dash. Golden Gat e trot ted a sound race . and so did Gold Sovereign. Credit Slip did not seem to like the going, as she failed to go ou-at t lie end of a round. Kempton and Roe Bell collided at the end of half a mile. Both drivers were thrown out but they were uninjured. Kempton was cut rather badly on one of his fore legs. Kempton kept to the rails and gave some of the other drivers an anxious time. At the end he came up on the inside of the winner and gave IDeyell a shock, as he thought it was another contestant. There was a field of eleven for the Campbell Handicap, Talaro being made favourite, with Imprint. Goldman and Cardinal Logan all well backed. The field quickly got together and Imprint was early in the- front line. There were not many changes except that D. Withers, who drove Logan Lou with great judgment, gradually made up his ground and kept to the rails along the back stretch. In the final round Prince Pointer, Cardinal Logan, Logan Lou, Imprint and Talaro were racing in close order, but Talaro dropped back, whilst Imprint, had had enough. This left a battle between Prince Pointer, Logan Lou and Cardinal Logan, but Mills’s horse stopped very quickly and faded right out of the contest. Cardinal Bogan stuck to Logan Lou till a hundred yards from home, when Hendrickson eased him. finding he could not hold his position. Logan Lou came home an easy winner. She raced brilliantly last August, but later struck her knee and had to be eased. She is a. brilliant pacer and a rare stayer. Racing on a right-handed course was all in her favour. She was capitally handled by Withers, who was seen to great advantage. Cardinal Logan gave further evidence of consistency, and he was a trifle unlucky to meet the winner when she Is on the top of her form. Talaro, after ; looking hopelessly beaten about three furlongs from home, put in a fine dash - and got third. Imprint, who will race better on his next effort, was fourth. He could easily have been driven with better judgment. Bell Harold, as usual, did not stay, and Black Lila broke repeatedly. Prince Pointer quite failed to stay when in a good position. Goldman was solidly backed but at no stage did the local horse look to have a chance. Direct Wood, although she lias shown no indication of being a. two-miler, was one of the well-backed ones for tine Hobson Handicap. Always well placed through the race, in the concluding stages the AusLralian-bred pacer drew our like a great, stayer and won decisively. Although third favourite, Direct Wood paid a. good dividend. The winner is by .Admiral Wood, who was bred in ; the Dominion, but now is at stud dtity m Victoria. Marshal Neil was not made enough use of in the early stages, Berkett erring in the opposite direction to I what he did when driving Imprint. Mari shal Neil is only a three-year-old, and ' he has a fine future before him as a pacer. Daphne Wildwood went a sound ; race. She looked a winner two furlongs j from home, but she did not quite see out ; the last fifty yards. Winnie Dillon was favourite, but was never dangerous, nor did Silk Thread pace at all effectively. Signorella was prominent for a mile, and Bingen Star was with the leaders at the end of a mile and a. half. Holly Boy paced a fair race, but the corners troubled him. Uncle Bert finished fast I and got fourth. The race was quite a • good one, with a capital finish. There was a great race in the best j class two-mile harness race for trotters, | the ex-Dunedin-owned Money Spider being a solid favourite. Along the back the first time The Tartar, Waikaha and King Capitalist led the field, and at the same place the following round the order was the same, with Money Spider, Pyramus and Peterwah coming fast. The Tartar failed first, and Waikaha went on with the lead, with Money Spider evidently ha ving the measure of the leader. Then Julian brought Pyramus along on the inside. Just when Bryce, with ■ Money Spider, had settled Waikaha, the i Dunedin trotter had further opposition. When pushed. Money Spider broke and l Pyramus drew out. Money Spider got I going again and finished so fast that; he was only beaten by a head. There is little doubt that Bryce was caught napping by Julian with Pyramus. The winI ner is a useful sort, who has been racing for a long time on Auckland tracks. Money Spider should have won the stake, llappy Rosa went away well, but before going a hundred yards she broke up and never appeared to settle down. The Tartar cannot slay, and Waikaha is not quite so good os was reported. Lackiewood went a capital race, and was always trotting well. King Capitalist, who is an old trotter, is losing hi 3 dash. Peterwah showed a lot of speed, but did not keep steadi.y to his gait.. He looked lo have a chance a quarter of a mile from home, had he kept going solidly. Peter Dean looked well, but he failed to show much speed in the race. Rose

Bingen is not in form at present. BunI daberg was going well for a mile. Wimlinera King did not act well on the heavy track. The winner paid a substantial dividend. Ayr began smartly in the mile and a quarter event and led the field in the early stages, but at the end of a mile she had fallen back into third place. She looked to he- beaten along the back the last time, but those in front stopped badly, and Mr Nicoll's filly came nito the straight well clear. Not far from the winning post she broke badly, and she j was lucky to succeed under the circumi stances. Ursuline was always with the front division, and just lasted long j enough to get second. Sea Pearl, the i favourite, had a very had passage. She '■ had to get past a lot of bad-galted breaking horses, and Berry wisely kept j her wide out. When making her run towards the bottom turn she was badly ' stopped, and she broke. She got going j end, finishing in third place. It was a i brilliant performance. Jean Darling I paced a fine race, only dropping out of the contest at the bottom of the straight. Nellie Brantley fell at the entrance to the straight and brought down Itua Pero, but with the exception of damaged sulkies, no harm was done. Brentloc went out very fast in the mile harness event and led throughout, wining by the narrowest of margins. The winner is owned in Oamaru and is trained by J. Henderson, but was driven by J. M’Lennan. Brentloc is a speedy, pacer, by Brent Locanda from Sashwood, a mare who raced prominently when trained by Henderson. The winner had nothing to spare at the end. as Hendricksen on Bessie Logan was always in attendance, end fought out every inch of the way, suffering defeat by the judge’s official verdict of half a head. The consistent All Bell finished up fast in third place, with Logan Chief fourth. Nantwich was never prominent, nor was the favourite. Imprint, who had every chance, but his previous effort in the two-mile left Berlcett’s horse without any reserve. Bonny Logan and Dillon Wilkes did not appear to appreciate the NAPIER RACES. PASSIN* THROUGH IN FORM. (Special to the “Star.”) NAPIER, June 19. The Napier Park Racing Club’s winter meeting was concluded to-day in splendid weather. The attendance was large, while big fields and good racing again marked the day’s sport which, however, was full of surprises, no fewer than throe seconds dividends going over the double figure mark. A sum of £14,450 was invested on the totalisator during the day, making £26,560 for the meeting, an increase of £4148 over last year’s figures. Nine horses started for the Hunt Club Steeplechase. Silent Dick was selected as the most likely winner, Guanaeo, Kirkwood and Kovno being backed in that order. Kovno lost her rider at the first fence, but continued in the race all the way, leading the field into the straight the last time round. Silent Dick and Supporter led the field most of the way and Supporter, who was the outsider of the field, had Silent Dick’s measure half a mile from home. Here, however, Kirkwood put in his claim and after getting over the last fence he- had too much pace for Supporter, whom he beat by nearly a length, all out. Supporter paid a big dividend.

With fifteen runners in the Meeanee Hack Handicap, it was expected that betting- would take a wide range, but Polar, Essential and Coot almost monopolised the betting, Break o' Day being the only other backed to any extent. The public picked them well, for after Coot and Essential had shown the way for four furlongs, Polar joined them and quickly settling the other pair won with a bit to spare by half a. length from Essential, while Jen finished fast and cut Coot out of third place by a head. Mangatoetoe and Rehutai were staunchly supported for the Waiohilcl Hack Hurdle Handicap, Ro3 r al Heather and Ruby Ring being the next fancied. Rehutai got badly away and did not make up her ground until the last half mile, when it was too late. Royal Heather, Ruby Ring and Revel were the leading division nearly, all the way, with Mangatoetoe running fourth. Two furlongs from home Royal Heather dropped out of it, and Ruby Ring and Revel ran a great race to the post, Ruby Ring- getting the best of it by a neck. Mangatoetoe was a good third, and Royal Heather was fourth. Except Counter Attack. Revel was the absolute outsider of the Held. A field of fifteen started in the 'Winter Oats Handicap, and eventually Tuahine, whom the first day s racing seemed to have improved, wound up favourite, with Huikai, Royal Diadem and Beaumont backed in that order, j Huikai, Koodoo, Jeannette and Beau- | mont were prominent to the home bend, , where the field closed up and Tuahine and Royal Diadem made their efforts. A fine finish saw Tuahine beat Royal Diadem by half a length, with Beaumont half a length away third. Sir Pam was ~iose fourth. The surprise of the race was the forward running of Koodoo, who did not look nearly ready and who was the absolute outsider of th The el seven starters for the Park Steeplechase were not a. classy lot, and the public considered it good business to bade Bonny Rill. However, several others' were nearly as well supported, four of the seven starters being pretty evenly backed. Passin ' Through, who this time had W. Rennie in the saddle, ran quite a different race > to that on the first day. . He was always holding a good position, being in front for the last six furlongs. The second favourite, Woden, ran round the wing of the first fence. Velvet King fell on the flat before the second obstacle was reached, and Bonny Rill tipped out at the last fence, leaving four to finish. Ranui and Red Cent were the early pilots, with Lady Comet and Passin’ Through next. Bonny Rill losing ground at several of the jumps. Red Cent’s condition gave out six furlongs from home and Lady Comet and Passin’ Through soon had Ranui beaten. There was no change for the remainder of the I journey, except that Bonny Rill made I a short lived effort to get closer, butshe was done with and she came to grief at the last jump. Passin* Through won easily from Lady Comet, whose display was even more marked in contrast to her first day’s performance than was that of Passin’ Through. On the first day if: would be difficult to estimate the distance Bonny Rill heat Lady Comet by, but in this race she had the favourite beaten from the first jump to the final. Highway and Koauau were the favourite selections for the Poraite Hurdle ( Handicap, but there was a fair amount I of support for Brigadier Bill, who is I an ideal cut of a jumper, up to any | weight and just the sort to make a i good steeplechaser. Comical formed one of the field, hut his appearance did not ‘ justify him being supported, though he wa « better backed than either Merry Singer or Bonmark. Merry Singer and Good Sport led for a time, with Brigadier Bill third and Highway fourth. Good Sport dropped back half a mile from home, where Merry Singer and Brigadier Bill came right away from the others, and fought out an interesting finish, Brigadier Bill getting the best of it in the last hundred yards and winning by a. length. Santiago came with a good run from last place and finished third, just in front of HighThere was not a great deal of difference between Mime, Cohesion and Watchman in the betting on the last race, the order being as written. Watchman, who had Roy Reed in the saddle, looked very burly, but was evidently in better order than he looked, fdr he was always in the leading division and he had no difficulty in beating Cohesion by a length at the finish. Benannee, whose colours had been in front nearly all the way, was third and Fatutahl fourth. The last named is a nice looking three-year-old gelding hy Polydamon from Lionskln and is not ready yet, but when At he should be quite a useful sort Hike most of the Polydamons, he is was some bumping at the last hurdle in the Poraite Hurdle Handicap, and the stewards held an inquiry, deciding that although interference had taken place it. was accidental and had not affected the result of the race. Watchman gave Roy Reed his second win of the day, so that he has further increased his lead for the jockey premiership. Mr J. Bull won a race with each of his three horses, Ngata, Brigadier Bill nd Ruby Ring. Several of the competitors seen out luring the two days looked as though they might be improved by the racing, and there may be some different, results at Hastings next week.
