Won by a neck. Time, 1.13. NOTES AND COMMENTS. L. H. Watson, a New Zealand-born jockey who has lately been riding in Australia and India, and is now in the Dominion, intends, to remain over the. New Zealand Cup meeting, as he has already had the opportunity of a number of mounts. The fact that he goes to scale at 7.5 is a great asset. Bennanee, a good performer a few seasons ago and fourth horse in the 1927 New Zealand Cup, is in work again at Hastings under the direction of his former trainer, V. H. Colello. He is reported to have furnished out considerably, not that he was ever of (he mean order, but lie bears a disfigurement to his face, the result of bolting into a tree while turned out, and crushing-in the off side just under the eye. Senora was making a good showing in the main event over country at Cambridge on Monday when she came to grief at the fence entering tlje back stretch on the final round. Senora, who is an aged mare by All Red —Senorita, is a member of ,1. T. Morris’ team at Marton. She has had but limited experience over the big fences, but is bred the right way for the business and should have her turn as time goes on. Three famous horses figured as the sires of the place-getters in the richly-endowed Prince of Wales Stakes (six furlongs, for two-year-olds), run in England last month. The winner was the brown filly, Runaway Match, by the Derby winner, Pnpy- | rus (son of Tracery) from Daughtcr-in-Law, by Son-in-Law. She is owned by Lord Woolavinglon, and was ridden by F. Fox. Mary Fischer, a bay filly by Gainsborough, from Naine, was second, and Arihos (a winner earlier in tiie season), third. He is by Tcfrat.ema from Oueen’s Double (by Bachelor's Double, sire of Blackwood), so dial he is a brother to Fourth Hand, who lias gone In the stud in Australia. The winner was bred by her 1 owner and is trained by r. Darling. >

' Mr A. V. Kewney, secretary, to the Victoria Racing Club, w r ho returned to Melbourne recently after a tour abroad, said he was much impressed by racing in England. The English thoroughbred w : as a horse to admire. Most owners in England raced for the sheer joy of the sport. What interested him more than anything else was the way in which trainers discarded the watch. “There is no attempt to make times in England,” he added. “Most' trainers rightly regard them as misleading. This view -is generally shared by the racing authorities.”

King Ford was making his first appearance of the season when he contested the Bruntwdod Hack Handicap at Cambridge on Monday. The King Lupin—Miss Ford 3-year-old was right in Hie picture until the home turn'on the six and a-half furlong trip. King Ford, who showed some useful form in a liimted number of starts in two-year-old company last season, will be benefited by His recent race and, later on in the season, should do better.

On charges of having misused tickets of admittance to race meetings, the cross-country jockeys, H. Hawkins and D. T. Reynolds, and S. Johnston, a bookmaker’s clerk, were brought before the Victoria Racing Club’s stipendiary stewards last month. The ticket issued to Hawkins, which was not transferable, was given to an apprentice, who used it to gain admittance to the Victoria Amateur Turf Club’s meeting on Saturday, August 2. Johnston secured admittance to the Moonee Valley races on August 27 on a ticket issued to Reynolds. Each was found guilty of improper conduct, and Hawkins and Reynolds were suspended from riding in races for three months. Johnston was also suspended for a similar term. In addition all parlies were prohibited from attending race meetings during the period of their suspension.
