Owing to the fact that one of his forelegs has had to receive treatment, Tarporley has not been asked any serious- questions on the Lllcrslie tracks lately and his work has been mainly of the useful order on the tan. Tarporley is bright and healthy and unless his leg causes him any inconvenience lie should not take long to get into good racing condition once A. Robertson decides to send him along in earnest again.

It i s stated that Laughing Prince has hecn returned to his owner, Mr I. A. Duncan, and that he will not be raced again. ’ He is by ' Quantock from Martian Princess, and was purchased as a yearling in Sydney by Mr W. J.

Tilley going to 1000 guineas on behalf of Mr T A. Duncan, his present owner, lhe following day Laughing Prince won the Pacific Handicap for Mr Duncan, returning him 120 sovs. From that time on lie has been a great performer over all distances, and many hold that lie should have added the Auckland Cup to his record in 1928, when Corinax heat him. He should command attention at the stud.
