RACING AND TROTTING NOTES

RACING NOTES. Nominations for the Auckland Racing Club’s winter meeting will close on Friday. * * *• :J£ The Riccarton tracks are very soft At present, as a result of the heavy rain which fell early in the week. The horses who are engaged at Ashburton at the end of next week will provide All the interest during the next few galloping mornings. * * * * The King’s Cup. which was won by Mr H. A. Knight's Limerick, at the Easter meeting of the Australian Jockey Club, is on view in the window of Petersen's, Ltd., in High Street, where it is attracting a good deal of Attention. * * * * E. J. Ellis has shifted into his new stables at Washdyke. He has been in South Canterbury only a brief * period but already he has got a big team together. * * * * The win scored by Beau Cavalier in s hurdle race at the Waikato meeting on Saturday would be specially pleasing to his admirers. It is evidence that the champion cross-country performer of last winter is in good health to start on another winter campaign. * * * * A hurdler good enough to win at Randwick is payable property. Realty’s four runs at that track this season have given three wins and £1316 in stakes, and Burraform’s two firsts and a second £IO9B. The best of it (according to an exchange), for their respective owners, is that neither has got . too high in the weights to preclude the possibility of further success this season. • * * * The Dunedin sportsman, Mr W. Crossan, intends handling his two rising two-year-olds by Chief Ruler in the near future. One of them is from Parable and the other from Finless. sje * & sic A rising two-year-old colt by Paper Money from Bo Peep has joined J. Fielder's stable at Wingatui. He is owned by Mr J. Black, and comes from the same family as Windbag. * * *• * In commenting on the Elderslie Stud yearlings sent into the ring at the Sydney sales, an Australian writer expressed the opinion that the youngsters would have made more money if they had drawn a more favourable position than at the end of the day, as they were an aristocratic lot. * * * Se P. Riddle, who is widely known in trotting circles in New Zealand, but who is now training gallopers in Sydney, will start the coming season wi some good material. Among the yearlings which have gone into his stable are the 1600gns Rossendale —Tregony colt, 1200gns Valais—Egale colt, and the Valais —Waianui colt, which was bought privately by Mr P. Miller, after being passed in at auction. sjs * * For the progeny of an untried sire the Top Gallants were in good request at the Sydney yearling sales; but Mr A. P. Wade, who has this horse at his Borambola Park Stud, Wagga, apparently expected they would be in much greater demand, and the first two (both chestnut geldings) svere pulled off when bidding ceased in each instance at lfiOOgris. No doubt (says an exchange) they will prove to be worth more, but 1500gns is a goodly sum to risk on an untried youngster by an untried sire which may possibly not be worth so many pence. Both were weli related, the first being a half-brother to that good horse Quintus, his dam being the imported mare Desmine, by Desmond, while’the other is from Fustian (imp.), by Spearmint. Top Gallant has put a deal of bone and substance jnto his offspring, as well as- a lot of quality, and as he was one of the fastest horses that ever looked through a bridle it is only natural to expect that his youngsters will be endowed with a share of their sire’s phenomenal speed. So it is quite on the cards that buyers missed bargains when they allowed this pair of wellgrown yearlings to leave the ring unsold.

* * * * The Dunedin owner, Mr L. C. Hazlett, has a big team in work, including a number of jumpers, who are expected to play their parts well during the wintre. * * * a J. Farmer has a couple of yearling fillies in hand at Awapuni. They are owned by Mr S. J. Gibbons, one being by Chief Ruler from Oratress, the dam of Oratrix and Concentrate, and the other being by Paper Money from Equitas, the dam of Oratress. a a a a A sensational report comes from Australia, to the effect that Trivalve is doomed and will be dead within a year. The story is said to have originated with a doctor, who claims to have detected a symptom of a mysterious disease before Trivalve was beaten by Valamita in the Cumberland Stakes and to have supported his opinion by' backing Valamita. He says Trivalve has acromegallv, which affects a gland at the base of the brain. Loss of vitality and physical power follow, but the victim grows abnormally big and soft. The predicted fate of Trivalve is likened to that of Artilleryman, another Melbourne Cup winner, who mysteriously lost form and in six months was dead of a cancerous growth, which ran through his body and even into his limbs. * * * 4 The hardy North Islanc^^ jldmg First Acre once again is getting plenty of changes of sdene. He was at Awapuni, Trentham, and Hastings inside ten days, and raced well too. This week he will be at Nelson. * *■ * * Polyphemus, who was successful at the recent Marlborough meeting at Trentham. has been sold to Mr J. M’Leod. of New Plymouth. Polyphemus will in future be trained at Hawera by J. Fryer.

Geyser Land, a five-year-old gelding by Mountain Knight from a Wonderland mare, is a good one to remember for hunters’ races. He jumps well, has won point-to-point events, and has some pace. He is an inmate of the Peneus stable.

W. Garrett, late owner-trainer of Sir Roseberry, stated in an interview on his return to Auckland from Adelaide, that the ’chaser knuckled over when exercising on the tan track at Morphetville just prior to the running of the Great Eastern Steeplechase. Consequently he had to be scratched, and as he had schooled particularly well over the country, Garrett thinks he lost a firstclass chance of winning the big jumping race on Easter Monday. Sir Rosberry was sold to. the Mohphetville ,trainer B. Crocker. Garrett does not think the Onkaparinga course so difficult as that at Ellerslie, and Sir Roseberry gave a great display over two rounds of it. There is a hill to climb, but the incline is not so great as the Auckland one.

Peneus may or may not win a good hurdle race during the winter, but there is no doubt he stays on better now over hurdles than he promised to do. Possibly careful schooling has done much for him, for now he jumps in effortless fashion. At Hastings, when he won, he appeared to be going at little more than a good swinging three-quar-ter pace to hold off his fierd down the back, yet he was credited with running the mile and three-quarters in 3min 13 2-ssec. He has a good deal more pace than 99 per cent of the jumpers, and it is in his favour that he can handle a muddy track.

It is doubtful if the incident at Hastings last week in the Poukawa Handicap, when there was only one ticket on the winner, has ever had a precedent, or if ever it will be equalled. It was all a matter of pure bad luck and some misunderstanding, writes “Vedette.” Inquiries made from the secretary and the stewards show that it was in the main ill-luck, and it w r as a real misfortune to the club to be deprived of revenue, for it cannot afford it. The big field was divided originally, but scratchings reduced it to one race dimensions. The division idea appears to have confused the public, for in Hawke's Bay they are unused to such big fields. Then the riders in the main were apprentices, and new ones, so that the men on the semaphore had to paint in a number of new names. This caused delay, which subsequently held up the posting of the draw for post positions, and few racegoers care to bet on a race in which there are 24 runners if that information is not available. The totalisator was actually five minutes over time when it was closed, so the staff there could hardly be blamed for the fact that only £376 was invested on the race. Owners and trainers were all caught napping, even those connected with the dividend-payers. There is not much doubt that nearer £2OOO than anything else would have been invested on the race under normal conditions, and it is also certain that both dividends would have been a good deal less. The club was indeed very unfortunate, and as it is one which conducts its totalisator business with commendable punctuality, on this occasion it was the victim of the efficiency of its totalisator staff. The only weakness was the trouble at the semaphore. The men there were not up to the task of coping with the big field.

TROTTING NOTES. A large number of horses left this morning for Dunedin, by special train, to assist at the Forbury Park Trotting Club’s meeting, to be held tomorrow and on Saturday^ * *• * * The southern three-year-old trotter Ette Bells strained a tendon slightly one day last week, but will take her place in the Sires’ Produce Stakes at Forbury Park. She has been doing nice work. * * * Doncliff has a peacocky style of going, and expends much of his energy in the air. If his trainer succeeds in getting him back to earth, as it were, he should win a race or two with him. * * * Roi l’Or is a good beginner, and that will count for much in the big Renown Handicap field at Forbury Park. It was not a strong field that he beat at Waimate, but he showed more than a glimpse of latent speed that shouLd eventually make him a good winner. * * * Secret Link has gone 911 the right way since winning at Invercargill and Wyndham, and will be well supported in the Innovation Handicap at Forbury Park. At the latter place she recorded 4.55, and so has given away 2sec to get into Thursday’s race. Brentloc is giving away big starts in the Flying Handicap at Forbury Park, but his brilliancy out of the barrier will find him close to the leaders at the end of two furlongs. J. M’Lennan’s greatest difficulty is to prevent him from running himself out before the post is reached. * * * * Alva Lass, who will be one of S. Todd’s team at the Forbury Park meeting this week, is a promising pacer by John Dillon from Misfortune. * *• * * Mary Locanda. who is alongside Sunfish in the Domain Handicap at Forbury Park, paid a big price to win the Trial Handicap at the recent Timaru meeting. .She is a stablemate of Kate Thorpe’s, and is a useful sort, but she will find it hard to win this week. Len Wood is a sweet-striding trotter when in fiill flight, and he looks sure to step inside the 4.41 2-5 he registered when he won at Ashburton. He will need to if he is to catch some of those in front of him in the Innovation Handicap at Forbury Park.

WINTER TROTTING IN DUNEDIN.

VERY BIG FIELDS AT FORBURY PARK.

The Forbury Park Trotting Club’s winter meeting will be commenced tomorrow and concluded on Saturday. This will be the last meeting for trotters and pacers in the south, so there is always a good response from owneis for all the classes. Southland stables are represented at their full strength, and, except in the best classes, the southerners invariably hold their own. Although the weather earlier in the week was not good, it now seems more settled.

1 here seems to be one drawback to the. complete success of the fixture. The large fields, especially in the slow classes, will cause a lot of congestion at the start and may prevent some of the' competitors getting a satisfactory passage. There are now so many horses in commission in the south that the club might well consider the necessity of considerably tightening the classes, leaving a lot of second-class pacers to race at other meetings in the district. The five-furlong track, quite small enough even for restricted fields, but with as many as thirty-one horses m a race a good race seems impossible. The following is the programme:

BAYFIELD HANDICAP fin harness), of 200 sovs. Class 4.3 J. One mile and five furlongs. Repute scr yds bhd fcnider scr Tlawkesbury Dummy Pride 24 Bingen scr Kitty Patch 36 Todd Bingen scr Wee Patch 4S Ette Bells scr Jade 4S Tot Logan scr Commander Victor Bingen scr Bingen 60 Ruby Bingen scr Tohe Roa 60 Jock Bingen scr Kerwood Bell 8 4 Tiarold Moor 3 2 Merry Bingen 96 Wattle Patch 12 Petroleuse 156 If Repute would trot she would easily account for the event, but she is too unreliable, so that, of the front division, Jock Bingen reads the best. Hawkesbury's Pride, on 24yds, has a fine turn of speed, and if she is in hei best form she should beat all the front division. Of the backmarkers, Kerrwood Bell i£ reported to be going the best.

Drake 12 This is the largest field of the day, there being an acceptance of thirt/one. Much will depend on the start. Locandaline showed good form when last raced, whilst, if Rose Marie could see out the distance, the winner would be easily discovered. Sunfish is reported as being in good form, but if he gets a good run Petronius should succeed.

ot the handicap. Moneyspider raced very badly in his last effort, and so did Billy Sea last week at Wellington. Fight Ever is hardly ready for a hard two-mile journey, although he is lrn- . proving. Jolly Chimes went a fine race in the mile and a quarter event at Ashburton, and Dalmeny paced well in both races at the same meeting. Zen ith ig too unreliable at the barrier, but Colene Pointer has been racing so well this season that she is sure to be solidly supported. The front division seems to have the best of it in Colene Pointer, Zenith (if he goes away well) and Dalmeny. Trimmer should be beaten by Daphne de Oro, and Pluto and St. Maura, on 24yds, are not racing well Logan Chief went a fine race at Wei lington last week, and Author Jinks is racing much more- solidly over the distance.

It looks as though the winner will come from one of the backmarkers, unless Real the Great, on 12yds, succeeds. The American-bred mare has bean showing a lot of speed in her recent races. Cannonball and. Elzear Wk the most likely to trouble Withers’s mare, who is not always reliable in her gait. RENOWN HANDICAP (in harness), of 250 sovs. Class 3.50*. One mile and

Whilst the 3min 57sec mile and five furlongs event drew an acceptance of thirty-one horses, the 3min 50sec class has twenty-eight in the field. Ex elusive was heavily backed at Welling ton last week and only faded out over the last quarter of a mile in a twomile event. She is now on the limit, and the last race should have done her good. There are some smart pacers on the 12vds mark, including Roi l’Or and White' Sun. Further back, Neerson and Nelson M’Elwyn may race weil, but, they have a big field to get through.

who is only engaged in this race and is making the trip, will start a hot favourite. King Pointer, on 12yds, and Vesuvius, on 24yds. seem to be the only horses likeh' to trouble the northerner.

Marinca should beat all on the limit. Logan Kir»g, however, went a couple of good races at Ashburton, and on 12yds may succeed, as the brother to Loganwood is now racing very generously. Dillon Gold has a good turn' of speed, but he has not done much saddle racing. INNOVATION HANDICAP (in harness), of 220 sovs. Class 4.52. Two

Avalanche has been trotting better than Usual, but he is too unreliable to be supported. Katute has speed, but will not use it properly. Of the backmarkers, Sea Queen is most reliable.

DISCOURSE MAY BE PROMINENT IN NELSON CUP.

FIRST ACRE’S GOOD CHANCE IN SPRINT. (By “ MARTIAN”) The Nelson Jockey Club has received a satisfactory list of acceptances for its annual meeting, which* commences to-morrow and concludes on Saturday. The Nelson Cup is the principal attraction on the first day's programme, while there are also a couple of light harness events to interest trotting enthusiasts. Nelson Cup. Now that the trouble over Black Mint has been satisfactorily arranged, it i» most probable he will be found in the field contesting the Nelson Cup, in which he heads the list with 9.0. He was unplaced in his only start on the second day at the Marlborough fixture at Trentham, but against the rather poor opposition he will encounter here he should give a good account of himself. Cerf (8.2) does not appear to have had a race for some time, and is being schooled over the hurdles, but Discourse (7.12) will have hosts of admirers. She carried .7.0 when Ver tiger it beat her by only a neck in the Masterton Cup, and prior to that she had had a number of successes of merit. Twink (7.1) has failed to show up in her recent efforts, a third in a fourhorse race at the Wairarapa Easter meeting being her best race for some time. Lady Gay, Closefire and Wildform, all with 7.0, appear to be out of their depth, while Steel Bar’s West Coast form does not suggest that he is a likely winner. With 161 b the better of the weights, Discourse should be most troublesome to Black Mint. The Sprinters. A fairly strong field of sprinters is engaged in the Stewards’ Handicap, and a good race should be witnessed. Royal Game (8.9) holds pride of place, but he may need a race, although the soft track will be to his advantage. First Acre (8.6) is just returning to form and is bound to go well. His last effort was at the Hawke’s Bay meeting, where he finished second to Jeanette on the first day. Miss Pat (8.6) is in good form and should be prominent, while Ivilperon (8.1). carried 7.4 when he won a similar race at the Marlborough Trentham meeting, First Acre (8.5) being second on that occasion. It looks now as if the Acre gelding should beat the Kilbroney gelding. Quillfire (7.8) is an improving sort, while Anthonie (7.0) has been expected for some time. Rameses (7.0) has been a disappointment of late, and Com Rigs (7.0) would only have to be approaching his best form to have a royal chance. However, it looks as if First Acre will have Miss Pat and Kilperon as his closest attendants at the finish. Minor Events. The minor events at the Nelson meeting have filled up well and there should be some spirited racing for the stakes. A number of the contestants have double engagements and it is difficult to forecast which races they will start in. Most of those in the Hope Hack Handicap have an engagement lower down, but if Freeze Out, Bissac and Mandarine start they, should make matters interesting. Borselene looks to have a better chance in the Waimea Handicap. t Atone In Form. The Bolter will have numerous admirers in the Electric Hack Handicap, but Atone and Reckless will keep him busy over the concluding stages. Freeze Out and Rameses are also engaged, and the first-named has only to start to be prominent. Borselene’s Chance. Borselene will carry most money if saddled up for the Waimea Handicap, and recent performances point to her going a great race. She carried 9.3 to victory over a mile at the last Marlborough meeting, and is one of the most promising of the Acre, youngsters. Old Gamecock may prove troublesome, but it looks as if Hallownoon and Mandarine may provide most opposition for the filh r . The Trots. As usual the two trotting events have filled up very well and as most of the contestants claim the dual engagement, the scratchings board will need to be followed. L. F. Berkett holds a strong hand in the Richmond Irot with Nellie Parson, who is set to give away 60yds in a mile and a half. Country Life and Bessie Dillon appear to be the pick of the others. In the Wai-iti Trot, Dillon’s Pride on 36yds should take a. hand at the finish, while Mabon’s Day and Mona Logan appear to be nicely placed.

FIELDS REVIEWED FOR FORBURY..

GOOD ACCEPTANCE IN PRINCIPAL EVENT. ' (By " OBSERVER.") The Forbury Park Trotting Club commences its winter meeting to-mor-row. The fields, especially in the looser Classes, promise to be big, and in some cases aije much too large to give the back-markers much chance of success. Canterbury stables are, as usual, well represented, and a very large proportion of the better class competitors hail from this province. The principal event, has attracted a very good field for this class, and a good race should result.

The first event, the Bayfield Handicap, caters for the novice trotters, the class being 4min 32sec to the mile and five furlongs —equal to 2min 30sec to the mile. Of those on scratch. Repute has shown promise previously, but nothing outstanding. She put up quite a decent showing at Ashburton recently, and seems to be in good trim for coming events. Todd Bingen is also on scratch, and the first time he elects to trot solidly he will go fast. Great interest will be taken in the running of Ette Bells, a candidate for the New Zealand Sires’ Produce Trotting Stakes on Saturday. She is reported to be a nice filly. Of those farther back, nothing appeals more than Kitty Patch, for the six-year-old mare has been really consistent. From 36yds behind she should run prominently. On 'fimaru running, Toheroa, on eCh’-ds, should have some say at the finish, too. Kitty Patch, Repute and Toheroa are a likely trio. The Domain Handicap of one mile and five furlongs, class 3.57, has attracted an unwieldy field of thirty-one, and luck at the start and in the running will have a big bearing on the ultimate result. Rose Marie and Author Franz, on scratch, have shown promise of something better to come in the future, and Wild Nita, in her first race, ran most promisingly. Some of those on the rear marks have recent form to recommend them. Mary Locanda (12yds) won at Timaru; Dick Logan (24yds) won at Hororata; Winnie Chrysler (24yds) won at Wyndham; Sheila Fleetwood (24yds) ran well at the Vincent meeting; Shady Spot (24}’ds) won at Winton, as also did Spring Note on 36yds; while Needles‘won at the Southland Racing Club’s summer meeting. Great Triumph has been penalised 24yds for his Wellington win and will therefore be 48yds behind. If he gets anything like a decent passage he should win, as he has tons of speed and should easily get this distance. Rose Marie should go a good race, and Wild Nita and Dick Logan should also have chances.

The mile saddle event follows, the class being 2.17. La Sonette is a likely sort on scratch, but the winner should come from the 12yds division, which includes some good ones in Sungleam, Caprice, Lochree, Lucky Dillon and Firpo. If Firpo leaves the mark decently he should win. Caprice and Sungleam can also tramp a merry mile. The Innovation Handicap is for trotters, the class being 4.52 for the two miles. Of the scratch lot, Secret Link has shown form. F. G. Holmes’s pair, Swiftbine (96yds) and Sea Queen (/2yds), both look to have good chances, and whichever of these is started will probably be favourite. Len Wood, though giving away 120yds, can not be disregarded in this event, as there do not appear to be many good two milers engaged. F. G. Holmes s elect should annex the stake, and Secret Link and Len Wood have good chances of finishing in the money. The principal event is the Prince of Wales Handicap, of two miles, the class being 4.32. Of those on scratch, the trotter, Moneyspider, must be considered if the going is heavy. He has a great finishing run, and in heavy going is always dangerous. Dalmeny showed good form at Ashburton. He also has a reputation “in the mud.” Colene Pointer is one of the popular fancies for this event, and, on form, she certainly looks to possess a good chance. Her wins at Timaru and New Brignton have brought her into prominence, and as she can handle bad going, she will be well supported under any conditions. Another favourite is Zenith, also a winner at Timaru. He looks a real pacer. Trimmer and Daphne de Oro are on 12yds, and after the lat ter’s sterling display in heavy going at Addington, she will have a good following. Trimmer is getting a problem at the start, but on his day he is hard to beat. Peter Swift, penalised 24yds for his Wellington success, is now on the mark with Pluto and St. Maura. Peter Swift, like Moneyspider, is a proper mudlark, but there is not much between them when both are at their best. Pluto has given indications of great, future possibilities, but has yet to win a race in this company. He may not be long in doing so, however. St. Maura has not been extremely impressive over the two-mile journey, but on a good track, w’ith conditions to suit, should go a good race. Logan Chief and Author Jinks are on 48yds. The former went well at Wellington, but he does not look like finishing in front of Author Jinks. The latter is due to pick up a two-mile race any time now. Machine Gun, on 72yds, looks too far back, but if the conditions are bad Dalnahine, although 84yds behind, will take a lot of beating. Author Jinks, Zenith and Colene Pointer should do well, but on a heavy track Dalnahine, Colene Pointer and Moneyspider will be dangerous. The next item for decision is the St. Clair Handicap, a 4.42 class, two miles, also for unhoppled trotters. After his exhibition at Wellington on Saturday last, Swiftbine looks to have a very fair chance. Audobell and Real the Great, on 12yds, showed promising form at Easter, and Cannonball won at the Addington fixture in heavy going. He should again beat Audobell. R. Townley has a good pair engaged in Bonny Spec and Engagement, and if both arestarted the bracket should be well sup-

ported. Elzear, Moneyspider and Trampfast look too far back to have much chance. Swiftbine, Real the Great and R. Townlevs elect should race well. Another large field promises to face the starter in the Renown Handicap. The distance for this event is one miie and five furlongs, the class being 3.502 Of those on scratch, Sunstorm has shown lots of speed in his races. The South Canterbury Roi l'Or looks to be the makings of a good horse, and the four-year-old should soon win more money. Nelson M’Elwyn, Neerson and Hector’s Own are speedy pacers on 36vds, but if Firpo could be induced to leave the mark he should beat them all. The backmarkers may have trouble in getting through, so the winner may come from near the front. The chances of White Sun, Hector’s Own and Sunstorm cannot be ignored. The mile harness event has a limit of 2.16. If brought south, the Aucklander. Direct Morning (scr), will have plenty of admirers. Auditress and- Sungleam,

also on scratch, can go fast. King Pointer is on 12yds. and with a good beginning would be in the money, but he is usually a bit slow in starting to have a really good in sprints. Some promising sprinters in Desert Star, Vesuvius, Rey Logan and Trimmer are on 24vds. The former is considered by good judges to be a very fair sort. Direct Morning has elected to accept against the hardest field of the day. and will probably find Desert Star and Vesuvius too good, while Rey Logan must also be given a good chance over this distance.
