RACING IN ENGLAND DERBY AND OAKS WINNERS AUSTRALIAN COMMENT Mr J. A. Dewar has already experienced more racing luck than his late uncle, Lord Dewar, from whom he inherited £1.000,000, free of legacy duty, a fine collection of bloodstock, and other valuable property, comments “Pilot” in the Sydney Referee.

Lord Dewar did not have the pleasure of winning a Two Thousand Guineas or a Derby, but Cameronian, unc of the horses he bred, has accomplished that feat for Mr J. A. Dewar. Last season Cameronian started once, beating an indifferent field at Salisbury, and at his first start this season he was beaten into third place in a race for which he started favourite. In the Two Thousand Guineas, Cameronian surprised his trainer, F. (Darling, and the stable jockey, F. Fox. The latter had the choice of Camcronian or Lemnarchus in that race, and picked the latter, who started second favourite. He ran nowhere, while Cameronian, on whom J. Childs secured a chance mount, won easily. • As is the case after nearly every important race, there was the usual tale of which should have won the Two Thousand, and it was claimed by the admirers of Goyescas that bad luck at the start brought about his defeat. It is not unusual, however, to see a horse run a remarkably good race after getting away badly, and then fail to do any better when fairly served at the start. No Mistake in Derby. After his Newmarket win Darling was not in doubt as to Cameronian s Derby chance, and that colt started a good favourite. He won, taking charge soon after the straight was entered, and then stalling off Orpen, who ran a great race. The cabled accounts of the race state that it was only near the winning post that Cameronian shook off Orpen while Sandwich was a close third, succeeded by Goyescas, Jaeopc, and Pomme d’Api With the exception of Jacopo, those mentioned ran in hte Two thousand, in which their order was: Cameronian first Goyescas second; Orpen third, Pomme d’Api sixth, and Sandwich fifteenth. Sandwich was a long-priced chance for the Two Thousand, but after that, race it must have been discovered staying was his forte, seeing his Derby price was under double figures. It is interesting that the sire of each place getter displayed classic form in his year. Pharos, sire cf Cameronian, was second to Papyrus in the Derby Sansovino, who sired Sandwich, won that race in 1924, and Solario won the 1925 St. Leger. Orpen’s forward running suggests it was bad luck for Mr W. M. G. Singer that Link Boy went amiss shortly before the Derby. In the Two Thousand Link Boy was fourth, a neck behind Orpen, and was doing better than the latter at the end. Still, many horses that can finish well at a mile, are useless at an extra half mile, and it may have been the same with Link Boy, who was to have been S. Donoghue’s mount. That colt’s withdrawal left Donoghue without a ride. Cameronian was the first successful favourite since Call Boy in 1927, and it is stated that many of the bookmakers on the flat at Epsom were missing after the winner’s number went up. Subsequent to the Two Thousand. Darling admitted Cameronian had come on much more than he anticipated. Many (Derby winners have failed in the St. Leger. but at the present Cameronian reads like adding that race to his record. French Filly Wins. The Oaks ended F. Darling’s winning run in* this season’s important, three-year-old races. The One Tho isand winner, Four Course, whom he trains, was well backed, but was beaten a length by the French-bred Brulette, a sister to Hotweed (Bruleur —Seaweed), winner of th e French Derby and Grand Prix de Paris. Seaweed is by Carbine’s son, Spearmint. Brulette did not race in England last season, and there is no reference to her two-year-old form in France. Her favouritism for the Oaks indicates she must have done soirethiug good there this season.

NOTES AND COMMENTS (By "KESTREL.") A respite for racegoers in the North Island will be welcomed, and with nothing doing till next week “regulars,” who are getting fewer every week, will be able to have a rest prior to going on with the winter campaign. A Good Price. Considering the fact that there were only two starters in the Victoria Hurdles at Te Rapa yesterday, backers of the winner, Monetize, got quite a good price when one remembers the 17 per cent that is deducted from investments. About Valueless. In winning the Whitiora Hack and the Te Pahu Hack at Te Rapa on Saturday and Monday respectively Valueless showed that he is a fairly useful sort. He is a four-year-old gelding by Valkyrian from Passionless. During the present season he has done most of his racing in the Wellington province, win ning the Novice Plate, six furlongs, at Woodville, in February, ana the following month at the Rangitikei meeting he won the Rangitoto Handicap, run over a similar distance. In the latter event he beat Paratoo and Playground. Always a “B.” The American breeder, Col. E. R. Bradley, of the Idle Hour Stud, has .> nomenclature fad. The names of all lhe horses he owns commence with “B” This season he has 33 two-year-olds, and “one of Bradley’s” will be the natural inference in nearly every case where the initial letter is “B.” Te Monanui’s Brother Tokatea, the two-year-old full-brother to Te Monanui and Taurua, has been recommissioned by the Takanini trainer. J. L. Gray. This youngster is an exceedingly gross fellow, and he put on a lot of flesh during his holiday. It was noticed when appeared on the track on Thursday that he was worked with neck sweaters. Death of Limosin Limosin, the five-year-old gelding bv Limond from tho Absurd mare Intrigue, suffered injury during the running of the final race on the first day of the Feilding Easter Meeting, and his death is now reported. Limosin was owned and trained by H. Brown, formerly of Trentham, but now of Otaki. Rules of Racing The Rules of Racing, which have been revised and consolidated for presentation to the annual meeting of the New Zealand Racing Conference next month, are now in proof form. A special feature is the marginal indexing of the Rules, as is done in statutes. This will enable search for any particular rule to be made much more expeditionsly and will he welcomed by all who have occasion frequently to refer to the Rules. The revision is actually the first that has been undertaken since 1605; nevertheless, the. Rules have been fully amended and reprinted every couple of years or so, aand have thus been kept up to date.
