RACING AND TROTTING NOTES

RACING NOTES

Among the remits set down for discussion by the delegates to the New Zealand Racing Conference next month is one from the Canterbury Jockey Club as follows: “That except on an occasion of a national holiday, it is undesirable that Metropolitan meetings, which include classic races, should occur simultaneously, and the Dates Committee is therefore requested to exercise its powers in preventing such clashing of dates of Metropolitan meetings.” The main object of this proposal, as is well known, is to prevent the clashing of the Auckland Racing Club's spring meeting with that of the Canterbury Jockey Club, at which the New Zealand Cup, the New Zealand Derby and Oaks, and the Welcome Stakes are attractive features. There is a strong feeling in many quarters that the present clash is against the best interests of the sport, and the proposal of the Canterbury Jockey Club is certain to meet with strong support. Whether it will be carried is a matter on which no definite opinion can be offered at present, but there is reason to think that an amicable arrangement is possible to obviate the clash. In this connection it is interesting to note that the nominations for the Canterbury Jockey Club's Welcome Stakes of this year and for the Derby of next year include five Auckland yearlings—one each owned by Mr F. Earl, Messrs J. C. and P. S. Gleeson. and Mr C. G. Macindoe, and two owned by J. T. Jamieson, who trains the lot. It is practically certain that none of these horses would visit Kiccarton in November if the Auckland Racing Club’s fixture was in progress at the same time, and as Mr F. Earl is a prominent official of the Auckland Club, the nomination of this batch of youngsters from Jamieson’s stable seems significant. *•; :js * sjs The southern horseman, A. E. Ellis, was a visitor to the Riccarton tracks this morning. He will leave for Wellington to-night, on his way to the Napier Park meeting on Saturday, after which he will remain for the Hawke’s Bay Hunt and Hawke's Jockey Club meetings. >;: * * =:-• All Cold (M. Kirwan), Gay Queen (I. Tflson) and Viewpoint (W. Scobie) set out for a round over the schooling hurdles at Riccarton this morning. Gay Queen out jumped her companions at the first hurdle, and soon set up a gap, which she held to the last jump, where she got in a trifle too close, but escaped trouble cleverly. Viewpoint showed improvement on his previous displays, but All Gold did not shape so well, and lost her rider at the second hurdle.

Charlatan's recovery' from his mishap in the north has been rather slow. He is working along nicely but he is not yet right for really strenuous tasks. It was intended to race him at Trentham next month, but according to present indications this programme may have to be dropped. * & y sjs Footfall is a regular worker on the tracks, where is is striding along in fine style, as a start on his preparation for spring racing. From being a meanlooking customer, early in his career, he has now thickened out into a very attractive gelding. He showed wonderful improvement this season and it will be no surprise if he attains to even higher form during the coming season. ❖ # * *:< Agrion and Philippic are bowling along nicely in their daily tasks. They have not been asked to do anything serious so far and probably they will not get beyond useful pacing prior to their departure for Sydney in about a fortnight. They are in the best of health, however, and they will be ready to go on with more strenuous tasks soon after R. J. Mason lands them at Rand wick. * 3{t Sis aje Paperchase, who resumed work recently, appears to have been greatly benefited by her spell, which was necessitated by an internal trouble. While cn the easy list she put on a lot of condition and she is in the best of health to start on a preparation. She showed smart sprint form snore than once this season, and she may do much better as ft- four-year-old. * * * * The Canterbury Jockey Club has issued the progrmame for the Grand National meeting in booklet form. Nominations will close on Friday, July 1, for the Grand National Steeplechase, Beaufort Steeplechase, Lincoln Steeplechase, Grand National Hurdles, Sydenham Hurdles and Winter Cup. 'J he South Canterbury Hunt Club’s meeting will be held at Washdyke on Saturday, July 23. There are eight races on the programme. Two hunters’ steeplechases, an open steeplechase and a hurdle race comprise the jumping events. There are three events on the flat, one open, one for hacks and one for hunters, while the other event is a mile and half trot. Nominations will close on June 30. * * * * The Southland owner, Mr W. T. Hazlett, will probably have a strong team racing at Trentham next month. The horses may be sent to Riccarton to finish off their preparation and after racing at Trentham they will return here for the Grand National meeting. Frenchman will be in the party, to compete in steeplechases, while Paris, Irish, and Father O'Flynn may assist in flat races. Northern reports state that the Taranaki horse Te Monanui is in work again, and will be prepared for the New Zealand Cup. * _ * The Memsahib case is causing a good deal of comment in the north. It is stated that the chief stipendiary steward, Mr J. M’Mabon, intends lodging an appeal against the decision of the Auckland District Committee, which lifted the disqualification from Mr M. Veils, the owner of the horse, but allowed that of the rider to stand.

One of the disappointments of the recent Great Northern meeting was liennanee, who was well beaten in his two engagements. Being a Catmint, whose progeny have shown a partiality for heavy going, it was thought that he would handle the conditions all right, but his form fell below expectations. Bennanee should not be discredited for his failures at Ellerslie, as he will do better under different conditions. It Js very unusual to see more than two or three horses schooled in company over httrdles or fences, but at Randwick prior to the recent winter meeting no less than ten horses took part in a gallop over the steeplechase course. * ;js # jJ: The Manawatu Racing Club includes the following amongst the proposals to be discussed at the Racing Conference: “That, while emphasising our loyalty to a;i decisions of the conference, this club is strongly of opinion that in all cases where any member of a committee is directly interested in any matter affecting his club before such committee, such member should not act upon the committee while it is deliberating that particular question.”

Beau. Cavalier, the winner of the Great Northern Steeplechase, is booked for a visit to Trentham and he may later journey to Riccarton, for the Grand National Steeplechase. * Recent additions to the unregistered ranks in Sydney are Miss Flighty (Warplane—Miss Mimic) and French Leave (Autumnus—Flitaway), formerly mem-! bers of Cutts Brothers’ team at Riccarton. Never has a race for the One Thousand Guineas been won with such ridiculou ease as was the case this year. Cresta Run, from the first furlong, was showing her rivals a clean pair of heels, reminding one of the old phrase: “ Eclipse first and the rest nowhere.” Nor was Balding leaving anything to chance, for he wisely kept her on the stretch till the post was passed. Although Lieut.-Col. Giles Loder’s three-year-old is by the chestnut Hurry On, and is out of a mare by Bridge of Earn—who has sired mostly chestnut* —the filly is brown. Her great granddam was Adula, a sister to Pretty Polly, who was, of course, a chestnut, so it is not easy to see where Cresta Run gets her colour. She has welldeveloped hind-quarters that droop a little, an intelligent head, and is altogether a charming filly. She is, nevertheless, somewhat highly strung, and was on her toes going to the post. Balding did not excite her by allowing her to canter to the start with the others, but was last out of the paddock and trotted most of the way down. Gilpin’s charge dashed into the lead as the tapes went up, and it is no exaggeration to say that she “came home alone,” her time being slightly faster than that of Adam’s Apple on Wednesday in the Two Thousand. TROTTING NOTES. The following horses were omitted from the published list of nominations at the Ashburton County Racing Club: Lyndhurst Trot Handicap—Erin's Royal, Underscrub, Quality. Winchmore Trot Handicap—Quality. * :J: * * Joan Dillon, who is now trained by E. C. M’Dermott, has a good turn of speed and is a fair stayer. She is at present a trifle fractious at the post but her trainer is effecting considerable improvement in the pacer in this respect. Joan Dillon will probably* race in improved form next season. * * * * The trotter Jade, who is one of the few of the progeny of Coldstream Bells who are not pacers, showed a good turn of speed in her races at the Oamaru and Ashburton meetings,. but she did not keep to her gait on either course, although she finished second to Nourmahal at Oamaru. Jade is only a six-year-old mare and next season she should show improvement.

Harold Bur wood has done a fair amount of racing this season and the moody but fast pacer has been responsible for some useful performances. In the mile and a quarter race at Ashburton last week Harold Burwood was prominent till the straight was reached. He finished not far behind the placed horses, but he faded out of the leading position very rapidly. The American stallion Brigand broke down very badly when racing -at the Canterbury Park Club’s meeting. Brigand was a very fine trotter when first put into work, with a beautiful action and possessing great stamina. He never seemed to get to his best in a race, however, and later he was worked at the pacing gait. With the hopples on he showed wonderful speed and a very fast two mile work out will long be remembered. It stamped the American stallion as a great horse. Later he became unsound. He has been patched up for several races but has not done much good. Had Brigand remained sound there is very littie doubt that he would have taken very high honours on the race track.

AUCKLAND TROTS START ON SATURDAY.

SOUTHERN HORSES CREATE INTEREST. (Special to the “Star.”) AUCKLAND, June 14. A special horse train is expected to arrive at Auckland from Wellington tomorrow or Thursday with a big contingent of South Island horses for the Auckland Trotting Club’s winter meeting on June 18 and 22. W. Warren has arrived with Countryman, Great Earl and D’Artagnan. All three look well and Great Earl promises to be in keen demand for the Hobson Handicap on Saturday. Accommodation has been booked at J. M’Kendrick’s stables by W. J. Tomkjnson for seven horses, J. Henderson three, J. Corrigan four, D. Withers three and R. Wood two. Others are aiso expected there. J. Henderson is bringing Final M’Kinney and Terence Dillon up for the meeting. They make a useful pair, and Final M’Kinney, in all likelihood, will be made favourite for the Cornwall Handicap, the 2.14 mile harness event. A. Ayres has put in an appearance at Epsom with Nelson Tasker and Billy Carbine. The former is one of the prime fancies for the Cornwall Handicap, and he should be hard to beat off the limit. Billy’ Carbine is a maiden trotter, who has the reputation of being useful. He was a quiet tip at the Cambridge meeting, but failed to show up in the Introductory Handicap class. A race which can be depended upon to arouse more than usual interest at the meeting is the Adams Memorial, a handicap event over a journey of two miles, carrying in addition to £SOO in prize money a very fine gold cup valued at 100 guineas. The trophy is one that any owner would be proud to receive, and few horses of the class catered for and who are present at the meeting will be missing when the field lines up on Wednesday, the second day of the gathering. There is an opinion prevailing that A. Julian will be the hardest to dispose of with the bay mare Luvan. She has won two races this season in most attractive style, but they were over a mile and a half and a mile and a quarter, and the only time she attempted a two-mile journey she was beaten out of a place. On that occasion she was going particularIv well when for some reason she left her feet and lost many lengths, completely settling her prospects. Providing Luvan’s condition is right, and Julian can be depended upon to attend to that, there is not much likelihood of her being forgotten by backers when she lines up. Certain indications are not wanting tc shew that the prospects of Jewel Pointer are greatly favoured for the Campbell Handicap. In being handi capped on 4.31 the son of Logan Point er looks and actually is well treated because he won at the Waikato meet ing, on March 7, which was his lasi

start over two miles, going 4.30 2-5. To I be let up for winning is one of those | items which nobody but the handicapper can understand, because it has to be assumed he adheres to the limit fixed by the conditions governing the r«ce. Jewel Pointer is undoubtedly a pxoved pacer and one who has downed good horses, but it is questionable whether he is nearly so good as many are inclined to rate him. On Saturday he will be opposed by a much stronger field than he has yet encountered over two miles, and he will require to be right at the top of his form to get the money. Possibly he may beat all those on the limit, but even should he do this there are some smart pacers and stayers, either on the mark with him or close behind. Anselm, Billy Sea, Machine Gun and Holly Boy are all good sorts to be on the same mark, while only twelve yards further back is Countryman, not only brilliant, but a good stav-er. Peter Bingen, 60yds, is one of the best speed merchants in the Dominion, but if the track happens to be heavy he may not run the journey right out. Jewel Pointer may prove equal to winning, but the Aucklander has a hard proposition in front cf him. The weather was fine and the track was in good order on the outside at Epsom this morning, when many trainers took the opportunity to give their teams hopple work. Few were asked to go fast, the tasks allotted being mostly of the serviceable order. Gold Jacket, Uncle Bert, Respect, Mastea Councillor and Gratton Thorpe were sent about two miles at a sound pace. Gold Jacket and Uncle Bert pleased most. Peter Bingen, Western King and Jewel Pointer worked a strong two miles. Peter Bingen appeared to l>e going best, while Western King also went well. Luvan was going nicely alongside Admiral Lock in a run over one mile and a quarter. Nelson Tasker, who looks in nice condition, was given sound work, and also sprinted along the back a couple of times. Sebisca, Wimmera King and Speed King were given several strong rounds. Wimmera King trotted well. Direct Morning paced well over a couple of rounds by himself. Amaris and Charming Pronto were indulged in a good sound workout in company. Peter M’Kinney trotted severa*! rounds at a good pace, and went really well. i D’Artagnan was on the track, but was not asked to go fast. He looks in good racing condition. Most of the local horses appear to be rather short of work.

COMMENDATION LEAVES FOR SYDNEY IN AUGUST.

NAPIER MEETING THIS WE EK. ’ (Special to the “Star.”) NAPIER, June 14. Commendation is doing nice steady work at Grecnmeadows and will be in good form when he is required to race. He is to leave for Sydney in August, all going well in the meantime. The remainder of George Jones's team are doing steady work. Rascal was under offer to a West Australian buyer a short time ago, but so far no business has resulted. Rascal is in good form at present and may run well at Napier Park, if the track is not too soft. Beacon Light has l>ecn taken up again, but so far he is only pottering about. Shirley, is having an easy time and she seems to be thriving on the treatment. Rigoletto, the brother to Anomaly and half-brother to Shirley, has gone amiss ami has had to be thrown out of work for a time. Wristlet has also gone amiss and will not be seen out at the local meetings. Watchman is in work again, but is looking very burly. Merry Singer is jumping the big fences in great style and he may be hard to beat in some of the short distance steeplechases this winter. The imported Piperenzo will make his appearance st the Napier Park meeting. He has been galloping well on the track. Royal Diadem is working well at Hastings. Bonny Rill is likely to be a warm favourite for the Napier Steeplechase. ACCEPTANCES. NAPIER PARK RACING CLUB. Per Press Association. NAPIER, June 14. The following: acceptances have been received for the Napier Park Racing' Club’s winter meeting:—
