RACING NOTES.

No sooner has the Grand National meeting been disposed of than owners are called on to turn their attention to another important Riccarton event. Nominations for the New Zealand Cup will close at eight o’clock on Friday night. * IP * * Most of the North Island horses who competed at the Grand National meeting have left for their homes, and as the southern contingent has departed, the Riccarton tracks have lost the busy appearance which characterised them for a few weeks. Many of the local horses who raced last week are enjoy ing a few days’ rest before starting on a preparation for spring engagements. * * * * The Grand National meeting marks the close of the winter jumping campaign, and owners will now become interested in the spring fixtures. Large ‘entries have been received for Wanganui and Marton, which will open the spring circuit in the With Rapine, Star Stranger, Reremoana. Prince Humphrey, Commendation, Eaglet and Staghunter nominated, there is a prospect of class being strongly represented, though none of these horses will be ready to take on the really fit horses yet. * * & * Horses who have been racing through the winter will be worth following at the early spring meetings. Their condition will enable them to defeat opponents of better class, who are not strung up. For that reason spring form is very unreliable as a guide to what may happen later in the season. The two-year-old colt by Weathervane from The Linnet has been purchased from Mr J. Richardson by the Christchurch owner, Mr W. H. Ward. He has been sent to Orari, where he will be trained by R. C. Keeper. During his short stay at Riccarton, as a member of W. Stone’s team, the youngster showed a lot of promise, and he should develop into a useful performer. It is understood that he cost his new owner £SOO and contingencies. * * * * When F. W. Ellis came here from Invercargill for the Grand National meeting he brought with him the two-vear-old filly by Tea Tray from Eager Eyes, the dam of Listening Post. The youngster was given a few short sprints on the Riccarton tracks, and showed a good deal of promise. She has now been placed under the care of her trainer’s brother, E. J. Ellis, who will prepare her at Wash dyke for her spring engagements. * * * * The Invercargill trainer, F. W. Ellis, has a trip to Melbourne in contemplation, but it will depend on a steamer being available going direct from Bluff. If Ellis decides on a visit to Australia, he will take with him The Graphic and Gold Cup, two maidens in his team, who are owned in Australia. & # *■ * Pink Coat, who was a good two-3-ear-old performer last season, has returned home to South Canterbury, after spending about a fortnight at Riccarton, where he was given some useful work. Provided he trains on all right during the next few weeks, it is practically certain that he will make a trip to Auckland in October for the Great Northern Guineas. It is possible that he will have another southern three-year-old as an opponent, as a suggestion to send Leader to Auckland is under consideration. * * * * Mr G. M. Currie’s three-year-old Alloy has joined J. Williamson’s stable at Ellerslie. Williamson returned from a trip to Sydney last week. * * * * It is reported from Auckland that Mark Mint, who won a double at Trentham in Jnly, has been sold to go to Australia, the purchase price being £SOO. * & * It is intended to give Zircon a run on the flat in the Jellicoe Handicap at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting, and the outing should benefit the big chestnut, who is coming on with every gallop. If he maintains his present rate of progress Zircon should be right at his best to tackle the jumping races at the spring meetings. * *ie * * The New Zealand-bred gelding Fool’s Paradise, who was bought by the Sydney sportsman Mr Otway Falkiner on the strength of an attractive victory in the Jockey Club Handicap run at Riccarton in the spring of 1926, but who failed to reproduce the same form in Australia, was sold at auction recently in Sydney for 140 gs. * * * * The records published in connection with totalisator investments in New South Wales are always interesting by reason of the bookmakers operating against the machine. In a statement issued by the Australian Jockey Club in regard to totalisator receipts it is shown that the sum passed through the totalisator at Randwick for the twenty-one days held during the season of 1928-29 was £9G5,360 ss, and for the nine day's at Warwick Farm £81,230 15s, makii £1,049,591, as against £1,078.737 15s for the previous >'ear. The amount paid to the Government in the form of taxation on totalisator investments amounted to £9-1,463.

The English-bred horse Burnewang figures among the favourites for the Melbourne Cup, in which he is weighted at 8.3. Burnewang is a five-year-old horse by Sunstar.

Horses bred in Ireland are placed well in the limelight this year in connection with events of the English turf. It is computed that up to the end of June the Irish-bred horses had won prize-money this >'ear to the amount of £52,097. Trigo’s victory in the Derby was worth £11,965, and the win of Mr Jinks in the Two Thousand Guineas represented £10,440 in prizemoney.

For quite a long stretch of years the 10.000 guineas at which Sceptre, the daughter of Persimmon and Ornament, was sold as a yearling, stood at the head of the list as the longest price paid for a filly, but of late the same has been well beaten. In 1925 a filly by Tetratema from Comfey was sold for 12,000 guineas, and in the following year a daughter of Gay Crusader and Tete-a-Tete realised 10,500 guineas. Last year a filly by Gay Crusader from Love Oil was sold for 13,000 guineas, and another filly by Buchan from Harpischord realised 12,500 guineas. Advices to hand by a recent mail state that a filly by Tetratema from Dolabella was sold at Newmarket a few weeks ago for 11,000 guineas.

Among the winners in England last month was Olderfleet, a three-year-old by Craig an Eran from Joie de Vivre. The latter is the dam of Joyeuse, several of whose progeny have raced in Australia and New Zealand. One is Joy King, who has shown excellent form in the Dominion. * * * * Few Australian racehorses are sold to go to India' nowadays. Buyers can get what they want from England at a lower cost than is asked for a firstclass Australian horse, and very few of those which have gone from here of recent years have reproduced their best form. There is, however (says “Pilot”), still a market for remounts, polo ponies, hacks and hunters, and Mr A. E. Young, representing Julius Gove and Co., recently stated that, beginning in September, about 1500 horses would be shipped to India by his firm. * * * * Trigo’s owner, Mr Barnett, bred his own Derby winner. His trainer, R. C. Dawson, may have been left somewhat dazed for a moment or two, but (says an English writer) he made a rapid recovery, assisted to that end by the knowledge that he is the half-owner of the latest sire of a Derbv winner— Blandford, bought by him as a yearling for only 730 guineas, a winner of much distinction himself and now assuming the crown which is bestowed on every sire of a Derby winner. Last autumn Mr Barnett sent from Ireland two horses to .be trained by Dawson. One, Athford, was a three-year-old; the other, Trigo, a two-year-old that had won the chief two-year-old race at Phoenix Park. Athford w*as an unlucky loser of the Lincolnshire Handicap. He then won the Newbury Cup and the Jubilee Handicap, and was also second to Reigh Count in the Coronation Cup. Then comes Trigo to win the greatest of races and to remind us of the invincibility of Irish-bred horses this season. For, in addition to the exploits of Athford and Trigo, Parwiz won the City and Suburban, Gregalach the Grand National Steeplechase, Mr Jinks the Two Thousand Guineas, Royal Minstrel the Victoria Cup, Elton the Lincolnshire Handicap, First Flight the Chester Cup, and Poor Man the Manchester Cup. * * * # If ever a good thing was beaten it was Waicullus in the Malvina Welter at Caulfield on Saturday, July 20 (says “ Fernhill ” in the Melbourne “ Sporting Globe”). He suffered defeat by half a head after having been seriously interfered with at a critical stage of the race. About five furlongs from home Waicullus was going well, on the inside of the field, not far from the leaders. Suddenly he was seen to drop back, losing many lengths. His chance of regaining the lost ground appeared to be hopeless. But 11. Cairns, his rider (who since met with fatal injuries), manoeuvred him to the outside of the field, and he was not far from the pace-maker as they turned into the straight. Then came a bitter struggle to overhaul David Garrick, who was in front from the straight entrance. Just as Waicullus had overcome David Garrick near the winning post, Southdown came with an electrifying run on the outside and snatched victory from the New Zealand-bred gelding. It was a wonderful finish. Waicullus has been rather unlucky of late, as he went under a similar margin to Hituchi at Flemington.

In commenting on the Derby, an English paper said: “All overseas visitors were greatly impressed by the race, if somewhat surprised that the happy-go-lucky state of affairs should be permitted around a contest of world-wide importance. Such is peculiar and traditional to the race, but whatever may be said in favour of leaving matters alone, further steps should certainly be taken to prevent encroachment on the course, especially in respect of loosecaravan horses, which frequently join in races (on the inside of course), as evidenced in the contest won by Lucky. Perhaps the main lesson learned both last year and this is that breeding for speed at the expense of stamina has had its day. The first four—Trigo, Walter Gay, Brienz and Hunter’s Moon —have stamina written throughout thier pedigrees, whereas the fancied candidates, not so stoutly bred, failed lamentably in the closing stages of the contest. * * * * Undoubtedly one of the finest jockeys in Australia is James Munro, of Sydney, who has ridden with _ remarkable success in the principal events at Randwick and Flemington. He it was who rode Windbag to victory in the Melbourne Cup of 1925, when that exceptional colt Manfred had to be content with second place; and he also steered Statesman home first in the last Melbourne Cup, when his chief opponent was the phenomenal Strephon, who, like Manfred, could do no better than run second. Munro thus has the distinction (says “ Musket”) of defeating two of the best three-year-olds ever stripped for a Melbourne Cup, and, while there may be several riders equal to him at sprint distances, he is acknowledged to be one of the greatest long-distance riders of the present day. His fame having spread to other parts of the world, he received a cable message' from the exAustralian jockey, Frank Bullock (now a trainer in France) making an attractive offer to Munro to ride in Germany next season for Baron Oppenheim, the well-known breeder and horse-owner of that country. The baron is reported to have designs on the English Derby, and he naturally requires a first-class horseman to ride his colt. Before the war thfe baron raced horses in England, and intends to do so again, according to accounts; and, if he can only breed a colt of the required class, Munro can be depended upon to make the English colts stretch out in order to keep ahead of his mount. However, he has not yet definitely stated that he has accepted the tempting offer.

TROTTING NOTES. M. B. Edwards has decided to give a number of his horses a good spell, as he has a large number of young ones that require his immediate attention. Neerson, Mate o‘ Mine, Shine Soon, Harold Thorpe and the trotter Sarsaparilla are in the paddock, while Wharepiana has been permanently retired and is going to the stud this sea son. • * ♦ • E. C. M’Dermott has purchased a three-year-old by The Triumph from the trotter Our Goldie. The youngster gave a good deal of trouble to break in and get going, and even now is not very docile. It is, however, not intended to do much with him in the meantime. sj: * * * H. Frost has recommissioned Talent and Becky Mine. Talent has had a lengthy spell, which he well earned, and this brilliant pacer should have benefited by his holiday. Becky Mine has grown a good deal during her rest and is now a fine looking young pacer, who should race in improved form this season. * * * • A trotter by First Fashion is a recent addition to H. Frost’s stable. * * * * The Ashburton pacer Huon Denver only started once at the August meeting. In the August Handicap, on the first day, he failed to go away right, but he showed a lot of speed on the mud once he got into his gait. * * m * The trotter Mount Royal, who started in the Midwinter Handicap on the last day of the August meeting, went much more steadily than in some of his earlier races. He went away in good style and only failed over the last three furlongs. Mount Royal is now trained by the veteran, J. J. Wright, who drove him, and if he keeps the big Marvin Wilkes horse sound he may win a race, especially on a large course • * * * The trotters Tonic and Young Blake and the pacers Glideaway and Lingfield, in Tomkinson’s stable, did not race up to expectations at the August meeting. Young Blake broke up early in the August Handicap on the first day, and Tonic, in hi'S races, did not exhibit as much speed as was expected of him. Glideaway lost ground at the start of her races, which spoilt any chance she may have possessed, while Lingfield appeared to have trained off somewhat. The rest of the Addington mentor’s team raced consistently and well throughout the three days. SALE OF TROTTING STOCK. Messrs H. Matson and Co. held their annual trotting- stock sale 3 r esterday in Tattersall's Horse Bazaar. Forty head were submitted to auction, including some young: stock by fashionable sires, and some well-known handicap horses. There was a large attendance, and buyers from various parts of New Zealand, including the West Coast, Kaikoura and Oamaru, were present. Their limits, however, were on the conservative side, and their competition was confined to young, untried stock, of which there was a scarcity. The auctioneers state that breeders forwarding to these sales would be well advised to forward their stock as yearlings. Two colts by Brigand (imp.), both nine months old, made 4 ogs and 24gs respectively. As will be seen from the list below, some wellknown handicap horses changed hands. Immediately after the trotting stock sale, twenty cobs, hacks and ponies were submitted, and these came for their full share of competition. Any outstanding sorts with show-ring qualifications were in keen demand, and hacks capable of carrying a weight were readily competed for. The following sales were made:— Gs. On account of Mr J. Lorgelly, New Brighton, black yearling colt by Brigand (imp.) 40 On account of Mr M.
