THE TURF

NOTES AND COMMENTS (By 11 Early Bird.”) Feilding nominations (including the Droua Stakes) are due to-night. A first forfeit for the Feilding Stakes is also due this evening. Walter Rayner left yesterday afternoon for Auckland with Lysander, The Thorn, Anklet, and Motley, all of whom are engaged at Ellerslie on Saturday and Monday next. The Bulls sportsman, Mr J. B. Gaisford, is to be represented at the Ashhurst meeting on the 18th inst. by Euphonium. Supporter and Duetto. The first-mentioned is also engaged in the , Levin Cup on the 21st inst. Demure is the only Wanganui horse Mitered for the Ashhurst meeting. The laughter of Panmure has also been actorded a nomination for the hack events at the Levin fixture. Up to the end of the A.J.C. meeting G. Price had won eight' races in the Svdnev metropolitan area of the value of £9951. The twelve months’ disqualification of Roseday. his owner (Mr J. Richardson) and the trainer and jockey CD. P. Wilson and A. H. Wilson) expired last Friday. Ngata will probably make his next appearance in the open sprint at Ashhurst. Mr Bull’s gelding has also been entered for the Cup at Levin. After acceptances last night, seventeen horses still stand their ground in the New Zealand Cup, to be run next Saturday. Those to drop out last evening were Imperial Spark. Kilfane, Dubious, Heather Lad and Tiega. A nice sized field of twenty-one is left in the Stewards’ Handicap. Those missing from the acceptance list are Glentruin. Reremoana. Degage. Rose of Athens, Finora. Rouex, Set Sail, Apple Deighton, Bugle Note, Kaiti and Benmur?. The Melbourne Cup is to be decided at Flemington this afternoon. Manfred will no doubt go out favourite, but Pilliewinkie and Windbag will be among the well-backed division. The field is as follows in the Melbourne Cup, of 10.200 sovs.; two miles.—Stand By 9.5, Windbag 9.2, Spearfelt 9.0, Pilliewinkie 8.13, Virgin Gold, Aeearak 8.10. Frances Tressady 8.6, Lemina 8.7, Royal Charter 8.2, Solidify 8.1, \ alamita 7.13. Pukka 7.12. Brown Rajah, Bard of Avon 7.9, Manfred, Our Prince 7.8. Friarsdale, Mirthmaker 7.7, Susie Pye, Baldwin 7.6. Wallarak 7.5, The Slave 7.4, Stralia 7.2. Royal Roue 7.0, Tookarby 6.13, King’s Pardon, Gungool, Belgamba 6.11, Raith 6.7. At the post Manfred will be on the rails, while Pilliewinkie has drawn number twenty marble. Birkenose. who had the services of the crack cross-country and hurdling horseman. Alan McDonald, went a very satisfactory race in the Waikato Hunt Cup Steeplechase, in which he accounted for all but BirkeneJla. The Birkenhead —Shimose griding outstayed Hypothesis in the run home and may prove a payable proposition at this branch of the business. There were many people who thought King Lu had won the Instow Handicap at Te Rapa on Labour Day, Angles are very deceptive, however, and the judge is always in the best position to determine a very close finish. If King Lu had not swung a bit wide at the bend he would probably have been in a position to make victory decisive. The Lucullus —Shower Gobi colt is in good fettle this season and some good races should come his wav.

It seems probable that more than one race on the opening day of the Canterbury Jockey Club’s meeting will have to be divided, owing to the field exceeding the ‘‘safety number.’’ The* maximum allowed at any starting point at Riccarton is twenty-two, and even with a big weeding out there will be , more than that number of acceptors for tho Linwood Handicap. It is interesting to recall the fact that the Linwood Handicap attracted thirty three starters last year and they were able to start quite well from the six 1 furlong barrier. Delysian, the runner-up to Arch Opal in the Second Division of the Bar dowie Hack Handicap at the Waikato , Hunt gathering, in addition to paying 1 nearly half a century, has to be credited with putting up a good performance. The aged son uf Elysian—Delania was well uut of the picture in the early stages of the race but he travelled very last from the straight to cut Quincoma I out of a dividend place by half a head. Delysian was supported as his previous form warranted. He is now owned and trained by E. A. Floyd, Cambridge. The following are the entries for the | three open events at the Ashhurst meeting on the 18th inst:— Ashhurst Cup, of 300 sovs., 11 miles. —Malatour, Tari, Son o’ Mine, Crown Gem, Lady Joyce, Imperial Spark. Euchre, Stream. Waetea, Askari, Eu- . phonium, Killoch. Pantagruel. Pohangina Handicap, of 180 sovs.; 6 ; furlongs.—Gold Box, Malatour. Civil form, Coot. Lady Fingers. Papaponga. Rose of Athens.

Haze finished better than Nincom- . noop at the end of five furlongs, run in Imin. 3 3-ssecs. Mireusonta went once round on the plough, finishing up with a smart three-furlong sprint.

Viewpoint and Goosestep were associated over six furlongs on the plough, which they ran in Imin. 18 4-5 sec. Economist rattled over five furlsrfigs on the plough in Imin. 3 1-5 sees. Money Order jumped off at the mile post with Waterl-ow a few lengths in front of him. Money Order was soon ion terms with his mate, and he finished his task in Imin. 46 3-ssec., going very easily. Victory Bond ran five furlongs comfortably, taking 55 3-5 sec. for the last half-mile. Inferno occupied Imin. 6 l-ssec over an easy five furlongs on the plough. Starmist and Paperchase sprinted half-a-mile on the course in 50 4-ssec. Mandane did a working gallop over a mile, taking Imin. 20sec. for the last six furlongs.

first six furlongs in Imin. 20 l-ssecs~ with the full distance in 2min. 11 1-5 see., with Count Cavour doing it. well in front of Carpentier, who was clear of Te Kara. It was a useful effort, and Carpentier gained fresh admirers by going with his redoubtable opponents. A SUPER HORSE MANFRED'S DERBY WIN. TRIBUTE TO PILLIEWINKIE. SYDNEY, Nov. 2. The 4 4 Herald/’ commenting on the Victoria Derby, says: It was no race, or perhaps we should have said there were two races in one. The first, in which Manfred was the sole and star per- | former, and the second, in which a number of equine aristocrats endeavoured to catch Belgamba. There was an excellent start, and Manfred was first to find his legs. He remained in the front to the mile and a-quarter, I but then was restrained, and Athelton was allowed to make the pace. The horses were iu single file for about a mile, two lengths separating each. It was evident with half a mile to go that the field was not fast enough for ; Manfred, who gave a wonderful dis- , play, and, although the judge said ! twelve lengths, it appeared to be more, Manfred was alwaps going well within himself, and equalled the course record , for the distance. In the struggle for

second place most of the entrants were under the whip, but Belgamba stayed best. Referring to the defeat of Windbag, the ‘‘Herald” says it was generally thought a mile and a-quarter was not enough, for Pilliewinkie, but the horse won in record time. The 4 ‘Telegraph” says t’..at not for many years has the meeting been so productive of sensations, but the hon- < urs of the day fell to Manfred. The Derby was a one-horse race. From a perfect start Manfred was quickest to get into his stride, ai-1 led out of the straight. Pacemaking not being the object of the jockey, the colt was steadied so that Ethelton might give him a lead. At five furlongs the favourite made his run and to such purpose that with three furlongs to go he was four lengths in front. Galloping at ease, ho increased his lead at every stride until the Isrt hundred yards, when he was allowed to slow down to half pace. The colt once again proved himself one of the greatest three-year-olds, if not the greatest, who has graced the Australian turf.
