NEXT WEEK'S MEETING

HANDICAPS DECLARED PARK HACK AND HUNTERS’ HURDLES (Of £5O; 1% miles)

FULL MARK AT TRENTHAM ENTRANT FOR HURDLE RACES ECHO OF CROUPIER CASE (By “Kestrel”) The appearance of Full Mark's name in the handicaps for the Trentham Hurdles and the Winter Hurdles at the Wellington Racing Club’s winter meeting next month is of interest to keen followers of racing. Full Mark finished third in the Great Northern Hurdles at Ellerslie, but since then he has not sported silk, for he received a nasty cut high up on a leg and was unable to compete again at the Auckland Racing Club’s winter meeting. In the Great Northern Hurdle Race Full Mark was responsible for a splendid display, and if ho had not met with a mishap over the final half-mile he might have maintained his lead. Incidentally the lodging of a protest by the owners of Full Mark against the Corry horses (first and second), in the Great Northern, Hurdles has set racing circles agog. It is stated that the stakes have been paid over to Mr. Corry, these amounting to £9OO, less tax. Theposi tion is an interesting one and shows that once litigation starts in hors% racing it is like a snowball, although, of course, in the Croupier case a breach of racing law is alleged to have occurred, which forms the basis of the protest by the owners of Full Mark. While the Auckland Racing Club is mostly concerned, the fault, if any, seems to lie with the Racing Conference officials.

Immediately following the decision in the Croupier case there were rumours that Mr. Corry’s horses would not be permitted to start at tho Auckland meeting, but it was rumour only. The next move will probably come from the committee of the Auckland Racing Club, to whom the protest had been sent. In the meantime Croupier, the cause of all the bother, is working in great style at Ellerslie and is expected to compete at the Wellington meeting next month. It is an interesting sidelight that had Croupier been a duffer little would have been heard of him in or out of Court. REJECTED AS PONY LATEST ABOUT SIMBA SYDNEY, June 29. Simba will not now run at the ponies. The Associated Racing Clubs have deeided not to register him. No report has been issued by the JR' ard of Management concerning Simba, but the secretary, Mr Underhill, simply stated that he was not to be registered.

Proved a Bargain. Mr. F. J. Conn made a good bargain When he purchased Morena from F. D. Jones for, it is understood, £l5O. In his colours, Morena has started five times for three wins, a second and a fall He has won £290 in stakes for Mr. Conn. From North Island. Apparently Prince Lu has not got over the injury that prevented him competing at the Great Northern --•«ting. for his name is not included m the handicaps for Wellington or the Riccarton nominations. However, the honour of the stable should be fully upheld by Lucess, Nassock and Luminary. While on the interesting subject of northern representation at the Grand National gathering the second Week in August, it is amazing to see the preponderance of North Island stables over the South Island in the jumping events. Of the 29 in the GN. Steeplechase, 18 are from the North and 11 from the South, while in the G.N. Hurdles the northerners dominate even more remarkably, the figures being 20 and 9 respectively. In the big Steeplechase half of the entries from the North Islands stables* hail fmm the Auckland province.
