RACING NOTES. Over thirty racehorses left by the Wahine for Wellington last evening. ♦ * * * According to Southland reports, the imported mares Celerity 11. and Spean Bridge may be raced in Sydney at Easter, • * * * Apart from Corinax, Prodice and In the Shade, the class entered for the Takapuna Cup is poor, considering there is a £IOOO prize. This meeting has not attracted any outside entries and it has suffered by electing to clash with the Wellington meeting. Paganelli stands out by himself for class in the sprint events and the handicapper no doubt found himself in something quandary in bidding for Paganelli’s presence and yet giving the tail-enders a chance. **.**. Flying Tresses, winner of the first division of the Tapu Handicap at the. Thames meeting, is a sister to the Goldfields Cup winner. Flying Juliet, both being by Romeo from Penella. Flying Tresses has not done much racing and had started only twice this season prior * ★ * * There was a strong opinion in favour of Polyxena after Gay Ballerina had won decisively on the last day at the Auckland summer meeting. On the third day Gay Ballerina. 7.8, with the rails, a big. advantage at the five, furlong post, beat Polyxena 7.0 by a neck, the latter starting from No. 12 position. Polyxena was going so well halfway down the running that it looked as if she might win, but having to sprint at both ends of her race told its tale. Polyxena is nominated for the two-year-old events at the Takapuna meeting with Eaglet, also from J. T. Jamieson’s stable. Polyxena should be a hot proposition in the event selected for her.

Beacon Light will be sent home to his owner in Invercargill this month. lie may be tried as a jumper.

At the Otaki meeting held in the last week of November, Joy Bird won in her only start under the substantial impost of 9.6. How Joy Bird got into a poor class handicap at 7.7 at a small meeting held outside Sydney recently is hard to understand. Her long starting price is even more remarkable, and for a small outlay the connections of Joy Bird could have won a tidy sum. That a mistake had been made in the mare's handicap was revealed by a rise of 261 b for her next engagement.

Paganelli, who is', entered for the Wellington summer meeting, has also been nominated for the principal sprint events at Takapuna, which meeting opens on the concluding day of the Wellington fixture.

Le Choucas sustained a fall at the Takapuna spring meeting at the end of November, and he did not race up to expectations at Ellerslie. where also a late arrival on the course may have affected his chance. He appears to have run two fair races at Thames this week-end. and he might be on the improve. He is engaged at Trentham.

Although the totalisator figures showde a decline of over £20,000 for the recent meeting of the Manawatu Racing Club, it is reported that there was a profit on the fixture.

The winner of last year's Grand National Steeplechase, Wiltshire, with Pendavies and Pendennis. are jumpers R. C. Svme will have racing over the latter part of the term. Wiltshire will be on hand more quickly, and the Day Comet gelding will be given a run or two on the flat before he is asked to enter the department in which he has shaped so well for a young campaigner.

Transformer looks fit and well after his racing at the Auckland meeting. The Thurnham gelding has been doing his work on the tracks at Te Rapa with the freedom that marked his work preceding his successes in the Te Xuiti and Alison Cups, says a Waikato exchange. There is no doubt about his relish for the galloping surfaces as they are at present. At the time of writing there is nothing definite in regard to Transformer’s visit to the Wellington meeting. It would not altogether surprise if his Thames owner, Mr Dave Twohill, decided to send the Thurnham gelding south, especially when Transformer could also keep his Takapuna engagements. * * * * According to an Adelaide message appearing in a Sydney exchange, James Scobie, the veteran Melbourne racehorse trainer, who will be sixtynine years old on July 18, is likely to retire then. “I have had a long association with the turf, and feel I have done my part in the training of horses. I would not like to give up the business altogether, but to keep on as I have been doing for many years would be too arduous for me,” said Scobie. Scobie has had a phenomenally successful career as a trainer. He has saddled the winners of four Melbourne Cups, seven Victoria Derbies, four Australian Cups', three Moonee Valley Cups, six Williamstown Cups, five Adelaide Cups, four A.J.C. Derbies, three A.J.C. Sires’ Produce Stakes, three A.J.C. St Legers, and six V.R.C. Sires’ Produce Stakes, while the Maribyrnong Plate (five times), Oaks Stakes (four). Ascot Vale Stakes (twelve), V.R.C. St Leger, Grand National Hurdles and Steeplechase, Caulfield Guineas (four), Caulfield Cup, Oakleigh Plate, South Australian Derby (five), and Hobart Cup (four times) are included in his many notable triumphs.

According to the opinions expressed bv London critics, the Aga Khan claimed the best two-year-old that performed in England last year, in the shape of Costaki Pasha, and that colt will, it is stated, probably stand out as the winter favourite for the Derby. The race that gave Costaki Pasha the leading position among the juvenile division was the Middle Park Stakes at Doncastfer, which event he is credited with winning in good stj'le. Costaki Pasha, who was bred by his owner, is said to be a colt of true mas- 1 culine type, and he is by Gainsborough (son of Bavardo). from Cos, daughter of Flying Orb (son of Orby). For several years the Indian nobleman has expended lavish sums in the purchase of yearlings in the hope of securing a horse equal to winning the Derby, but so far he has not been placed in the happy position of leading in the winner of the classic race at Epsom. Should Cpstaki Pasha win this year’s Derby the victory will not be out of its turn for the Aga Khan. Major M’Calmont is credited with the ownership of a good colt named Mr Jinks (by Tetratema—False Piety), who won the Ilurst Park Two-year-old Stakes in November. Mr Jinks, who is a grey, is stated to be a colt in every way fitted to aspire to Derby honours. Two fillies that scored attractively at two years old are Arabella (by Buchan — Polly Flinders) and Tiffin (by Tetratema —Dawn-wind), but doubts are expressed as to either developing into a stayer. * * * * An English writer states that in connection with the steeplechasing at Liverpool Mr George Lambton rightly drew attention to the fact that amateur riders as a rule ‘‘get round” with much greater frequency than the professional jockevs. He instanced the Valentine Steeplechase, which was confined to amateurs, in which all the thirteen runners finished, inclusive of Fairfield, who fell early in the race, but was remounted and completed the course, coming in last of all. Mr Lambton rightly attributed the success of the amateurs to their riding with longer stirrups than the professionals, thus giving the horses more freedom in jumping than when they are ridden in something more approaching the ‘‘monkey-up-the-stick” style.

Honour, Jaleux, Goblin Market and Philippic will be shipped to Wellington on Saturday in charge of P. V. Mason. Mr W. T. Hazlett’s team for the Wellington meeting, comprising Paris, Apache and Latin Quarter, under the care of F. J. M’Kay, arrived at Riccarton yesterday and will be shipped north to-morrow night. * * * 4c Magna Charta has been recommissioned by T. 11. Gillett, after a lengthy spell on his owner’s property. * * * * J. M’Combe’s team for Wellington, Crown Area, Moorgas and Court Jester, will go north to-morrow. m + m m With the exception of the Trentham High Weight Handicap, from which Quarterdeck was withdrawn, Sir George Clifford will have a representative in each race on the first day of the Wellington meeting. * * * * Star Area is nicely weighted in the Wellington Cup at 7.10. He will be meeting First Sight on 171 b worse terms than in the Manawatu Cup. but the son of Acre is in such good form that he must have a chance at Trentham. * * * The Wellington Racing Club have received exceptionally big acceptances for their summer meeting commencing on Tuesday next. No fewer than 23 have been paid up for in the Wellington Cup, which must be considered a record for the event. All the Riccarton candidates nominated, with the exception of Count Cavour and First Sight, appear in the list, while other southerners in Set Sail, Pink Note and Ro>'al Saxon will help to invest the race with much interest as far as the South Island is concerned. Silver Paper, Nightmarcli. Sudden Storm, Meadow Lark and Money Mine represent this island in the Telegraph Handicap, which has filled with a total of twenty. The Wellington Stakes promises to provide a stirring contest, and the southern candidates engaged, comprising Aspiring. Childsplay, Francolin, Goblin Market, and Honour should play an important part in the decision of the classic. * 9)c >*e aft Fool’s Paradise, by Absurd—Mascot, showed a glimpse of his old form byrunning second to Miss Australia in the New Year’s Gift, at the Tattersall’s Club meeting at Randwick on New Year’s Day. Fool’s Paradise carried 9st 6b, and was beaten by a length in lmin 26sec. * * * ♦ A few seasons ago a galloper arrived from Fiji, and was raced in New Zeaand with moderate success. Now word has come from the Isands that the brilliant Fiji-bred mare Bagpipes is coming to the Dominion to try her pace against the gallopers here. She won three races at Brighton Park f Suva) A Fijian writer expresses the opinion that the opposition in the Dominion may be too strong for Bagpipes. # * * * Little River (Martian—Blue Lake) won the Brush Steeplechase at the Mentone (Victoria) meeting on January 2. There were four of the runners better-fancied than Little Rive: in the betting. He won. by fifteen lengths. TROTTING NOTES. Acceptances for the Forbury Park Trotting Club's meeting close to-day. 4 * * Jolly Pet is still very unreliable at the barrier. He was well backed at Timaru on Saturday for the chief event, but F. Holmes was unable to get the southern-owned pacer away at the start. •4= * * * D. Withers, who for some time past has been private trainer for Mr J. R. M’Kenzie, will shortly remove to Yaldhurst, where he will take over Messrs Ollivier, Clarkson and Graham's horses. It is understood that Withers will also take other horses into his stable in addition to those recently in charge of W. Warren. * * * * William the Great has not been racing too well of late, but in the * * * * President’s Handicap at Timaru the New Brighton-trained pacer went in quite improved style, finally finishing up in fourth place. He was going on well at the finish, and now that he has shown a return to his best form may soon win a race. * * * * Although Event is now back again in his old quarters at R. M’Donnell's, he was driven in the President’s Handicap by the Oamaru reinsman, J. M’Lennan. Event, however, was not on his best behaviour and failed to go away right at the start. * * Eiffelton Lass looked like developing into a useful sort when she raced last season at Timaru, but she has not improved as much as expected. 4 * * * Lily Bingen, who is a half-sister by Nelson Bingen to that useful pacer Wild Thyme, -was well backed at Timaru last Saturday’, but she made a very' poor showing in the race. She is owned and trained by B. Grice, and was driven in her last effort by D. Withers. «fc * 4c * Although one of the outsiders in the Levels Handicap at Timaru. Our Bird showed a lot of speed over the first mile of the mile and a half event. She is by’ Our Thorpe from The Linnet. Her sire's progeny are usually good stayers. ★ * •* * Monopole, judged by his showing at Timaru in the Levels Handicap, has not improved as much as his two-year-old form led one to expect. He paced a very indifferent race. ji * * * Nelson’s Prince has not raced too well since being purchased by Mr J. Deyell at the conclusion of the Forbury Park Club’s meeting early last month. In the Waimate Handicap, Nelson’s Prince showed a lot of speed in the early’ part, but before half the distance was covered he had had enough and dropped right back over the last mile. Carclo, who was favourite for the Waimate Handicap at Timaru, trotted in pleasing style in the early part of the contest, but did not seem to handle the going too well. She broke badly’ before a mile was covered and never got going again. * * * * Sea Queen has apparently lost all form at present and she is not trotting at all well. She looked like making a useful trotter last season and was partial to a heavy track. ♦ * 4* 6* Royal Locanda was pacing particularly’ well in the early stages of the Levels Handicap at Timaru, and although he finished fourth in the event, his effort over the final half-mile was a ver y poor one.

WANGANUI NOTES. (Special to the ‘‘Star.”) WANGANUI, January 16. M. Gardner takes Star Area to Trentham on Saturday’. The Acre gelding is in great fettle and did a good gallop yesterday’. Benzora struck himself slightly recently’, but the injury is not thought to be serious. At Ilawera y’esterday the grass track was in use for fast work, and was in good order. Llanore and Silvermine were companions in a gallop over six furlongs. The pair kept together for five furlongs, when Silvermine drew away’ to beat the filly by three-quarters of a length in lmin 16*sec. Boundary’, Yawl and Tenacre were associated in a five-furlong gallop. Yawl and Tenacre were several lengths in front of Boundary at the end of three furlongs, run in 36sec. Finishing last over the last two furlongs, Boundary’ caught and beat the other pair home in lmin 3 l-ssec. Bright Glow went a couple of rounds at three-quarter pace, looking really well. Reremoana and Valpre went half a mile on the plough, the former finishing in front in 50£sec. On pulling up Reremoana was found to have struck himself slightly. Airtight (Conway) and Vivo (Edwards) went a round of the schooling fences, giving a good exhibition of fast jumping. For a green one Vivo is shaping well. San Fera has been returned to his owner for a spell, and will be brought in again for the steeplechase season. The weather was fine yesterday morning and the No. 1 track was in good order for local training operations, but not much fast work was done. Ceremony slipped over three furlongs very’ nicely in 36 l-ssec. The brother to Lysander looks bright and well. Cobham finished in front of Alloy at the end of three furlongs run in 39sec. Lysander, with a light boy up, went five furlongs by himself in lmin 2sec, the first three furlongs being cut out in 36sec. He is none the worse for his racing at Ellerslie, where the going prevented him doing anything like his best. Zarene, who has had a three weeks’ spell owing to having had a poisoned leg, was given slow work on the inside, and then went two furlongs at a fast pace. Mask has been a bit sore since returning from Ellerslie, owing to having knocked himself, but is throwing off the trouble. He was given easy pace work.

ENGLISH SEASON UNDER REVIEW. (Special to the “Star.”) LONDON, November 22. Now that flat racing is all over, it may be a good plan to consider the prospects of the jumping season which, while quiet and tame during December, is likely to boom strongly in the new year. At the outset I will remark that, while hurdlers will abound in plenty, there is going to be a dearth of really good 'chasers, unless something quite unexpected happens. At present it is not possible to name one outstanding steeplechaser of the Manifesto or Jerry M. type, and the success of the outsider Tipperary Tim in the last Grand National is typical of the mediocrity of our present-day chasers. Tipperary Tim has performed ignomintously in a couple of races this autumn, and may conceivably never win another race. At any rate, if he does, he will want all the luck on his side. Billy Barton, who nearly won the National, was sent back to America for the summer, and he is now in England again—in the charge of that fine trainer, the Hon Aubrey Hastings. The admitted objective of the horse is the National next March. Here, then, is a sure starter (all going well in the interim) for anybody who wants an early wager on the “classic” of the 'chase. Other horses I shall expect to see in the field include Trump Card, Easter Hero, Maguellone, and possibly Patron Saint. The last named was the admitted best three-miler in training last year, and has, I believe, done well since then. Among nice young horses ordained for hurdling can be included Law Suit and The Wheedler—three-year-olds of some repute. It will be remembered that Law Suit was heavily backed for the St Leger—and did in fact win the Irish St Leger. He should, if showing any aptitude for the game, prove a success over the sticks, and one imagines he will be concentrated on the biggest prizes. The Wheedler, of course, used to carry the Duke of Portland's colours on the flat. Once upon a time the horse promised to do gr.eat things, but he gradually became more and more wayward, and at the end of the season he was an impossible handful for horsemen like G. Richards and J. Childs. It will be interesting to see how he acquits himself in the strong handling he can have at the winter game. As he is trained by J. M. Bell, the famous Epsom specialist, we can be quite sure he will lack nothing in the way of tuition. The crack hurdle race rider, George Duller, has returned (loaded with press cuttings!) from a wonderful trip to America. His jockeyship quickly charmed the Yankee sportsmen, and in a very short while Duller was being lauded to the skies as an artist and a genius. He went to America at the invitation of a rich owner, and the latter was not desperately anxious to release the jockey for other rides in the States, so that he did not perform so often as he w'ould have liked. All the same it was a satisfactory, as well as a profitable trip, and Duller’s name is now famous across the Atlantic. J. Anthony, whose career in the saddle extended over a period of twenty years, is now a public trainer, and F. B. Rees, through some slight misconduct in France not long ago, is still minus his riding license. It is widely believed that this splendid horseman will earn the favour of the National Hunt Committee at the new year. Such a good jockey can hardly be spared, especially at a time when he is in his prime. The once famous jockey, F. Wootton, is undertaking the training of a large string of jumpers at Epsom, and, if he is only half as successful as his brother Stanley is with flat racers, he should do quite well. He shares the stable of his brother, and takes over those of the horses likely to take to hurdling. The flat-race jockey, J. Marshall, wiil, I understand, be seen in the saddle over hurdles. One way and another J do not think we shall find it difficult to be entertained until March comes round again; in fact, there is reason for believing that we shall get plenty of really good fun before we start to worry about the Lincolnshire Handicap or the Grand National.
