RACING NOTES. Following: the usual practice, the committee of the Canterbury Jockey Club will frame the programme for next season in two sections. ThS result of the committee’s deliberations has been announced, so far as the Grand National meeting is concerned, leaving the decision regarding the other three meetings over until the August racing has been disposed of. With a falling totalisator revenue, a substantial reduction in prize money was to be expected, and the saving effected on the Grand National meeting amounts to £1650. This is a substantial cut on last year’s total cf £11,250, the sum to be distributed this year being £9600, but under the circumstances no other course was open. The committee must be complimented on the manner in which it has gone about an unpleasant duty. It appears to have been realised that the principal events must bear the brunt of the cut in stakes. The Grand National Steeplechase has been reduced from £2OOO to £I6OO, Grand National Ifurdle Handicap from £ISOO to £I2OO, Winter Cup from £IOOO to £750, Beaufort Steeplechase from £6OO to £SOO, and Lincoln Steeplechase from £7OO to £SOO, so that the five leading races have provided £1250 of the saving. The remaining £4OO has been provided by a drop of £SO each in eight races, these being the Trial Hurdle Handicap, Avonhead Handicap, Hunt Club Cup, Woolston Handicap, Sumner Handicap, Heathcote Handicap, Redcliffs Handicap, and Selwyn Handicap The need for cutting down the minor events is the main cause for regret. The principal events, even as reduced, carry stakes which will attract the best horses in their respective classes, but in the case of the lesser races there is not the margin allowing a reduction, while leaving them very atti active to visiting owners. It is difficult to see, however, how the same result could have been secured by any better method, for to have made the leading races bear the full burden would have robbed the meeting of much prestige. It would be a matter for wide regret if the Grand National fixture had to be run without the assistance of the best jumpers.

It seems to have escaped general notice that Mr J. E. Henrys was not present at the recent meeting of the South Canterbury Jockey Club. There was a clash of dates between two of his clubs and he attended the Manawatu Racing Club’s fixture. In Mr Ilenrys’ absence, the handicaps for the second day’s racing at South Canterbury were prepared by Mr C. E. liassail, who set the public some difficult problems, while the racing was consistently good throughout the whole day.

i Rapine gave further evidence of his class by carrying 10.7 and winning the Huwke's Bay Cup. Time has dealt ! kindly with this Martian gelding, who is new in his seventh year and apparI ently good for a lot of racing yet. j * *• * * j Fairy Herald raced well at the ' South Canterbury meeting. This form ! served as a special reminder that this i Clarenceaux gelding will be worth : keeping in mind during the next few ! months, as he is very partial to winter j tracks. Sfi tje * * Nightraid shaped only moderately in ' the steeplechases at South Canterbury. Nothing better was to be expected, however, over the easy jumps at . Washdyke. There will be a different I story later on, when difficult country j has to be tackled. Mr A. G. Macdon--1 aid’s gelding won the Otago Steeplechase last year, and he may be worth keeping in mind again for next month’s race. *** * . I Limerick and Commendation, two j sons of Limond, are the best New Zealand owned three-year-olds of the present season. They have not met this season, Limerick having done all his racing in Australia. Each has his admirers, but autumn form seems to point strongly to Limerick. Great in- ; terest will attach to their first meeting ! as four-year-olds, but according to present arrangements, this will be an event which will be staged in Australia in the spring. The alterations in the Grand National programme are not confined to reducing the prize money. There will be great satisfaction over the deletion of the penalty conditions for the three principal events. None of these races will be prejudiced in any way by J the fact that horses may win the small j stakes available to owners between the declaration of the weights and the running of the big events at the Grand National meeting. The maximum weight in the Grand National Steeplechase will remain at 12.7, quite a sufficient burden for this trying course. In two of the fiat races there has been an increase' in the distance, a furlong being tacked on in each instance, but these changes are. balanced in another direction. The Longbeach Handicap, a high-weight race for gentlemen riders, will in future be a six furlong hack race, open to three-3 r ear-olds and upwards. This will make two races at the meeting in which three-year-olds may compete, and the extra opportunity will be welcomed by owners with young horses in preparation for spring engagements. Their only other chance is in the Cashmere Plate, which caters for horses who have not won a race worth £IOO. Another change* that will be welcomed is that the order of races has been altered, in order that the jumpers may have the best light possible.

Set Sail is reported to have lost condition on her trip to Riccarton and Washdyke. The Southland mare will probably be all right again very soon, 1 in which case she will keep the opposition very busy in the chief flat events at the Dunedin Jockey Club’s winter meeting next month. *-• >J4 sfc Mr T. Handley, manager of the Elderslie Stud, has left on a trip to England. He has gone on private business, but it would cause no great surprise if he brought back another horse for Mr I. G. Duncan, whose enterprise deserves all the success that he receives. * * * * Commendation is suffering from a cold, and for this reason he was allowed to forfeit his engagement in the J. D. Ormond Cup. * *• * * Rising Star, a winner at Awapuni, is described as a very smart hack. lie was bred in Taranaki, being by Bisogne from a Days * * * * Comical, who won the Grand National Hurdle Handicap last August, is in preparation for cross-country racing this winter and he should take high honours in that branch of the sport. ❖ * * Crown Area,’ a winner at the Manawatu meeting, is being discussed as a good class sprinter, lie is a three-year-old by Acre and he has made wonderful improvement in a few months. * *• * * After a lengthy experience of holding two meetings during the season, each of two days, the Ashburton County Racing Club instituted a new policy this season, by racing on four Saturdays. The change seemed to appeal, and apparently the club is satisfied with the results, as the same arrangement will be carried out next season, Saturday dates having been applied for in September, January, March and July. Apparently the idea suits the convenience of owners, while there is no doubt that it is an excellent plan so far as the public is concerned. * * * Three yearlings, purchased at the Sydney sales, have arrived at Riccarton. Mr 11. A. Knight owns one, by Polymestor, while the other two, by Polymestor and Shiliinglee respectively, were secured by his trainer, F. D. Jones. * * * * Charlatan and Sun Up will leave for the north to-night, to fulfil engagements at the Egmont Racing Club’s meeting. The Riccarton pair look well, but they can scarcely be quite at their best, so early in the winter campaign. * * * Radiac had a couple of schools over the steeplechase fences at Riccarton this week with Charlatan, and he came through the ordeal with satisfaction to his trainer, A. E. Wormald. On the first occasion he got into the air a lot at each fence, but gave quite a decent showing for a novice. lie was tried again on Thursday, when he was responsible for a high-class exhibition, in which he out-jumped Charlatan at more than one fence. It looks now as it Radiac would make good cross country performer. * * * t At the last meeting of the Canterbury District Committee, W. Baker was recommended for a trainer’s license. This probably means that Rapier and Mr G. G. Holmes’s other horses will not return to Riccarton to be trained. sfc * Hi J. King, a son of the ex-Riccarton trainer, R. W. King, returned from Sydney with T. 11. Gillett, whose employ he has entered as an apprentice. tJ: tfc :*e * Aberfeldy, who was brought back from Sydney, under the care of T. II Gillett, will probably join A. E. Wormaid’s team, to be prepared for jumping engagements. *• * * * Having disposed of the Grand National meeting, the committee of the Canterbury Jockey Club proceeded to deal with a number of future events, for which entries will be taken before the balance of the season’s programme is considered. The reduction of the New Zealand Cup from £2IOO to £1750 will occasion no surprise, but it may be taken as an indication that the pruning knife will have to be applied pretty freely in other directions at' the November carnival. The Welcome Stakes, at the same meeting, was reduced from £SOO to £7OO. Other cuts decided on were that the Middle Park Plate was reduced from £SOO to £IOO, Champagne Stakes from £SOO to £6OO, Derby. 1928, from £2OOO to £ISOO, Oaks, 1928, from £750 to £6OO, and Challenge Stakes, 1929. from £BOO to £6OO. The course which has been taken by the officers of the Canterbury Jockey Club will probably be forced on many racing club executives throughout the Dominion. There has been a big drop in totalisator figures this season, and the majority of the clubs in the Dominion have shared in the experience. While this is taking place stake reductions must be looked for, and though the situation presents room for a good deal of regret, in view of the heavy expenses under which owners labour, it is one | which must be faced. It must be obvious to everyone that clubs cannot continue indefinitely at a loss. TROTTING NOTES. J. J. Kennerlev, who is now a regular attendant at Addington, has just broken in a two-year-old filly by tne trotter First Fashion from a W ildwood mare. The youngster is a pacer, and her owner-trainer has a high opinion of her ability. She, is not a particularly big one, but she shows a lot of quality and she has the easiest of ac tions. * * * W. J. Tomkinson has the three-year-old Richore in his stable again. Richore raced well as a two-year-old, winning the New Zealand Sapling Stakes, but he has not done well as a three-year-i old. In addition to being troublesome at the barrier, he has not shown improved speed or stamina, even when he has got on the journey. Richore may amend his ways with age, as he has furnished considerably during the year and is now a commanding looking pacer. t * * * * | The two-year old Vestas continues to , train on satisfactorily. Tomkinson is not hurrying him along, and the young pacer looks in capital condition.

Concliffe is in steady work and looks as though his short respite had done him a lot of good.

A. Cox is working a good looking filly by Brent Locanda from Ellawood. She goes at the pacing gait and looks like making a good one.

* .* * * . Peter Bingen looks in capital form and. his recent racing has __ evidently done him no harm. lie is doing steady work at Addington.

C. Tasker Is vforking * five-year-old fillv by Logan Pointer from Bridget Galindo. The youngster looks a likely sort.

Haunui was worked in saddle at Aldington recently. The pacer racea well half way through the present season, but she has not done so well in her ’atest efforts.

Fight Ever, who raced well at Easter winning decisively over a two J™ ® journey, looks as though he has a lot of work, and he is in excellent triiii at present.

Marlindo is now under C. Tasker’s charge at Addington. He is a solidly built pacer by Michael Galindo from Marion, and won a race at the last meeting of the Timaru Trotting Club. * * * Peter King is going on well in his training. lie may win a race before the close of the season over a short course. * sfc *.• * Logan Chief has rarely looked better than he does at present. The South-land-bred pacer is carrying plenty of condition and is in great heart. In his latest efforts over two miles Logan Chief has been gradually showing improvement on some of his earlier efforts. Although he is not getting any younger and has done a lot of racing, he may yet win a good race over a two mile course. * * * * The two-year-old colt by Author Dillon from Marie Tempest is going on splendidly in his training. He is a very little fellow and has only been in work a short time, but he has a great turn of speed and looks as though he can stay. He is not likely, however, to be at his best for the Sapling Stakes, owing to the short time he has been in training. * * * Randolph is back again at the trotting gait and his turn at pacing has evidently not done him any harm, as he is trotting in good style in training. Unfortunately for his owner and trainer, Randolph will not reproduce his best in a race. * * * * B. Jarden’s two-year-old by Author Di 1 10n —Lady Wildwood is not being hurried. He is a well grown youngster but very green at his work in the meantime. He looks like making a capital three-year-old, and one not likely to be troubled by a two mile journey. *■ * * * Trimmer is having a comparatively easy time at present, but D. Bennett is keeping the pacer at steady work. Trimmer showed a lot of improvement this season. Hi * * Kreisler looks very well at present, although he did not race at all well at the Ashburton Club’s meeting, where he disappointed his connections. * * * Double Event has evidently done a good deal of work, and if he would only behave himself at the barrier he would soon win a race. He * * He Native Chief has rarely looked better than he does now. It is a great pleasure to see this easy actioned pacer at work, as he does his training as he does his racing, without any effdrt. Age may improve his manners at the post, and if it does and he develops into a good beginner he will win plenty of two mile races. * * sfc Stunt Artist has been responsible for some good races this season. The pacer bears a well trained appearance, and he is a rare good stayer. He is working well at Addington at present. * •* * * Wenlo is being kept in steady work and is pacing in improved style. Wenlo, like many other pacers, will not reproduce his best form in a race. HAWKE'S BAY RACES. RAPINE WINS CUP. (Special to the “ Star.”) HASTINGS, May 6. The Hawke’s Bay meeting was openU to-day in bright, clear weather, a most pleasant surprise after the overnight conditions. The track improved rapidly and provided very fair going. H. Neagie, who purchased Cimabue, had the satisfaction of winning the Hawke’s Bay Stakes with him the first time he carried his colours. Rapine put up a good effort in the Hawke’s Bay Gup, giving R. Reed his third successive win. In the next race Reed rode Hathor, one of the dead-heaters. The fall of Rory Morin the two-year-old race was investigated, the stewards finding that the affair was accidental. In the Mangatarata Hurdles San Pedro, Anchor and Lombardo were the only ones backed, and they filled the places in that order. Anchor, Peshwa, Asleep and Merry Singer led to the first fence from San Pedro and Pireblight. i Good Mark stumbled and lost his rider at the third hurdle, and passing the stands Peshwa, Asleep and Merry Singer just showed the way to Anchor, with Lombardo and San Pedro next. Anchor took charge six furlongs from home and San I’edro .moved up, crossing the top with Lombardo. Anchor led over last fence, but San Pedro headed him in the last bit and won by half a length. Lombardo was a length away third, and then came Asleep, Peshwa, Merry Singer and Maunga. Better ridden. Anchor would have beaten San Pedro. In the High-weight Handicap Calluna, Radiate, liakauponga and Mandarine carried the most money. Coot led out from Merle, Gordon Swift, liakauponga and Mandarine. Coot still led clown the back from Merle and Gordon Swift, with liakauponga, Mandarine and Radiate following at intervals. Coot and Merle turned for home well clear of Gordon Swift and liakauponga, with Mandarine moving up. Merle came away in the straight to win easily by three lengths from Mandarine, who got up in time to beat liakauponga by a head Coot was fourth and Radiate and Calluna next. Merle won easily, but Mandarine was a little unliicky. In the Nursery Handicap Dor*« -was an odds-on favourite and Lady Limond and Polydectea were fairly well supported. Rory Mor began best from Horec, Polydectes. Terl and Lady Limond. Before they had gone a•furlontr Rorv Mor was cut back and stumbled. throwing his rider. T* l DoVe in front, followed by Polydectes, Keen Lady Limond and A Iguance. Doree and Polydectes led Keen and Lady Limond at the turn, with ’Vigilinee next Doree went on and beat Polydectes by half a length, with Lady Limond a head away third. Ten was fourth and Vigilance and King Quex were next. Doree won rather comfortably Lady Limond was unlucky again. In* the betting on the Hawke s Bay Stakes, for some extraordinary leason •sn5S.

Reed for making a dead heat of it, for Hathor was a beaten mare. For the Autumn Handicap. Starboard Light was nearly a £IOO better favourite than Vertigern, with a fair amount of money for Queen's Choice and Bennanee. Queen’s Choice, Starboard Light, Vertigern and Bonhomme led out of the straight, and going down the back, Bennanee, Starboard Light led Vertigern and Queen’s Choice, with Good Sport and Scotch Mixture prominent of .tho others. Bonhomme made a fast run going to the turn, where Bennanee and Starboard Light still led from Queen’s Choice and Vertigern, with Good Sport handy. Good Sport kept up his run and ran Bennanee to half a length. Vertigern was three lengths away third, and Bonhomme half a length away fourth. Queen’s Choice and Starboard Light were next. Bonhomme met all kinds trouble, and should be well in tho picture at a mile In tho Porangahau Handicap, in a good betting race only Huikai was neglected, all the otlvers being fairly evenly backed. Licinius was the first to break the line from Decoy Bird. Ngawati and Rascal. Decoy Bird soon lost his place, and Licinius went with Rascal and First Acre. with Ngawati and Peneus next, and Welkne well back last. At the turn Licinius, Rascal and First. Acre just ted Ngawati, Huikai and Peneus. First Acre stayed on best of the leaders, but Ngawati ran past him in the last furlong, with Decoy Bird showing up well on the outside. In a great finish between Decoy Bird and Ngawati, the judge awarded a dead heat, with First Acre a length and a half away third. Rascal was fourth, and Licinius and Huikai next. Ngawati received just a fair run, but a much better one than Decoy Bird, who should have scored* M HOUGH RACES. TRESHAM WINS CUP. (Special to the “ Star.”) BLENHEIM, May 6. The Marlborough Racing Club commenced its autumn meeting at Waterlea to-day In beautiful weather, though a keen wind made its uncomfortable presence felt as the afternoon wore on. There was a large attendance, including many visitors. The course was rather on the hard side. Totalisator investments were less by £1548 than those for the corresponding day last year. Prince Paladin was made «a very warm favourite for the Novice Stakes, with which tho meeting opened, the only others in demand being Silver Cord and Golden Prospect. When the barrier went up the favourite took the lead and showed the way to the straight from Golden Prospect and Silver Cord, with the others bunched a length behind. Silver Cord appeared to be overhauling the leaders in the straight, but they were shaken up a little and drew away from her again, Prince Paladin winning by two lengths from Golden Prospect, with Silver Cord a similar distance further back third, and Emiform fourth. The winner’s performance was impressive. He is a long rangy chestnut by Paladin from Lovelorn, and appears to bo at the beginning of a useful career. Golden Prospect is an English thrse-year-old filly imported by Dr H. A. Gilmer. She had the benefit of a 4ilb allowance on account of the difference in official ages between English and New Zealand horses. Despite scratchlngs thirteen starters lined up for the Willersden Trot, the Lower Hutt candidate. Wakefield, being elected favourite, with only fair support for Kevin brae and Kangaloon. All the limit horses started well and Kangaloon was in tho lead for the major part of the journey, Kevtnbrae getting the verdict In the last few yards and beating the Australian importation by half a length, with Wakefield third. ten lengths further back. Tetanus ran a good race until tho concluding stages, when lie compounded. JKangaloon shaped well but is evidently not quite ready yet. The favourite, akefleld, was 'disappointing, though he moved up well at the business end of the race. The Waterlea Cup, the big event of the day. produced a nice field of six, of whom Tresham was installed a much better favourite than Ardflnnan and Goosestep. The top-weights were content to lie back in the early stages, leaving Hallownoon and Vexatious to make the running past the stand. Rounding the back stretch the order was Hallownoon, Goosesten. Vexatious. Ardflnnan, Phantasy and Tresham, and this order was maintained until round- ; n cr for home, when Goosestep displaced Hallownoon and Tresham name from the back with a (treat run He was on terms with Goosestep at the stewards stand and went on to win in a dingdong: finis!} by a neck ™(llniicHat lownoon was two and a half lengths further back, third and Ardflnnan, who could not get up. was fourth. The winner, who scored Mr J. A. Tajlor s se ?r ond win for the day, is a four-year-old gelding by Tressady, from Lilacre, and bails from Australia. R. J. Maekie had the mount at his own special request after riding the horse at exercise yesterday' morning. The winner’s race was a good one and left the impression that he could have landed home by a bigger margin if required. Goosestep was consistent and unlucky. Ardflnnan " The 'field* for tlie Beaver Hack Handicap was evened down to five starters. Carigallan. on the strength of his running at the summer meeting being made a good favourite, though there was also heavy money for Erin-go-Bragh. J be favourite made a lot of trouble at the barrier and ultimately got the worst of the start. Erin-go-Bragh and Arrowhoy were tho first to show out, but at the end of a furlong the favourite, despite bis bad start, was level with Arrowhoy. So they raced to tho entrance to the straight where Arrowhoy was called on, and stalling off a challenge at the distance by Polonaise, who had come up from the back, won handsomely by a length and a half from Polonaise, with Erin-go-Bragh nearly three lengths back third, and Carigallan fourth. The winner ran an attractive race, as did Polon--1 aiso, but the favourite was evidently short of a gallop, for after bis spurt to make up ground in the initial stages be was well gone when the straight was reached. Deluge, on tho strength of his Palmerston running, carried nearly half the money on the machine in the Autumn Handicap, but failed to deliver the goods. There was a good deal of delay at the harrier, and Anthonie was the first to show out, but when they settled to it Buoyant was in front from Anthonie and Deluge, with Gleninnis and Corn Rigs bringing up the rear. Nearing the straight the favourite was shaken up and ran into second place, but he was not good enough to overhaul Buoyant’s advantage, and there were still two lengths between them as the post was reached Gleninnis, with a late run, made up a lot of ground to secure third place two lengths further bach, and Anthonie was fourth. There were twenty starters in the Wither Trot Handicap, in which Wakefield again carried the heavy money. Future, Halloween and Lunsdale made the pace for the first half mile, when Wakefield and Castle Chimes took charge. Nearing the straight Item ran Into second place behind Castle Chimes, and in the run home beat her by a length. The favourite. Wakefield, who was again disappointing, was a length further back third and Lunsdale fourth. A nice field of seven turned out for the Opawa, Hack Handicap, most support being accorded Bronstell, Lady Passenger and Gourmet, who finished in that order at the head of the field. Imitation was first out of the barrier, followed by The Tank and Lady Passenger, but at the end of a couple of furlongs riol-loi was rushed to the front and bc'ii established a break on the field. The distance, however, proved too great for him and once fairly into the straight he compounded. The field i then bunched and in a fine finish Bronstell got the verdict b3' a short head I from Lady Passenger, with Gourmet nearly three lengths further back third, and Imitation fourth. Rtverna was backed as If she was a certainty for the Soldiers’ Handicap, but never finttered her supporters. Anthonie and Corn Rigs made, the early running a couple of lengths clear of , the field, but o.nce the straight was reached Printemps was brought to the j lead, and. finishing on nicely, won by a length and a. half from Anthonie, who | just heat Riverna for second place. Corn Rigs was fourth. !
