The Poverty Bay Turf Club’s meeting will conclude on Saturday. There will also be racing at Awapuni and Washdyke.

Met With Minor Accidents. As the result of minor accidents Symcony and Hunting Mars will probably be left behind by G. W. New when he takes his team to Sydney on August 2.

Plans For Dunmure. According to southern reports Dunmure is an unlikely starter in the South Canterbury Steeplechase and will probably be reserved for the Hadlow Hurdles.

Reports re Vintage. Reports of the condition of Vintage are somewhat confusing and the latest is to the effect that he 4 s still suffering from soreness and that there is every possibility of splint trouble forming. Y

Valpal Looks Improved. Valpai, who is looking improved since he raced unsuccessfully at the Great Northern meeting at Ellersiie last month, has been schooled lately, and shaped well in his exhibitions. Valpai showed useful form this season, winning twice and being in the money on two other occas!or 3 f n his last nine starts.

is being exercised on the local at present arid the aptitude shown to date would indicate that he will come to hand quickly.

Disposal of Stud. H. R. Telford, the ex-New Zealand trainer who was associated with the illustrious Phar Dap as trainer and part-owner, has issued instructions for the disposal of his thoroughbred mares and foals owing to ill-health.

Will Do Bettor. : ; Rebel Chief is one worth keeping in ■mind for when the tracks firm again. He is not a good performer in heavy going. ' He has been working well at Riccarton according to reports and is improved by his race at Trentham. Wino. As Wino has been entered for the Barbazon Handicap at the Christchurch Hunt meeting, U does not look as if he will need, the spell that was recently reported necessary. Has Wintered Well. The two-year-old Flcetwlnd has returned to the tracks looking bright and well after her spell and should ■strip in fine order for spring racing. She is a smart Ally who as a three-year-old should he seen to advantage as she showed early in her raoing career speed above tho average.

Tradesman. Tradesman has been moving along nicely at Te Rapa headquarters and will probably have his next start at the Pakuranga 'Hunt next month at Ellerslle. The Te Rapa mudlark is not a luoky horse, but with ordinary luck in the 1935-3 G season he should not fail to make his contribution to the'stable successes. Valorous on the Tracks. Valorous, who is now irained by W, Woods is a constant visitor to the tracks at Te Rapa and is vastly improved in condition. Last season he was trained as a jumper, but was turned Out after his initial attempt at Matamata. All going well with him he may be produced at the Pakuranga Hunt meeting next month: .Also in the same stable is a rising two-year-old Hunting Song Ally who has not yet ’ been handled. Y, ‘ •

May Do Better. The Te Aroha-trained two-year-old King Flight has been working along satisfactorily at headquarters in preparation for spring engagements. While he did not perform as prominently as his connections probably anticipated this season he should develop solidness with age and may be seen to better advantage in the season •ahead.

Welcome Change of Luok. P. McMahon experienced a welcome change of luck yesterday at the Rangitikei Hunt meeting at Marton when Trouvaille broke his maiden status in winning both the races he contested. The Te Rapa representative was at fair odds in the betting on the Arst occasion. As he has now struok form he should-win further early in the coming season-

Wahlne Relhl. Wahine Reihi has been sent along ■on a couple of occasions of late at Te Rapa and is hearing a bright appearance. This mare early in the season demonstrated that she is possessed of a Ane turn of speed, but withal was somewhat of a disappointment. , If she comes solid this season, however, she may make full amends as she is the makings of a decidedly useful hack.

A Typical Gay Shield. A typical Gay Shield in appearance Is the rising ‘two-year-old colt from Kikl, who is being prepared for racing early In the new' term by C. Carmont at Te Rapa. He is a shapely fellow and his limited preparation to date •has been full of promise. In the same stable is the ex-Taranaki hurdler, Beau Star, who Is to he tried out in company in the coming season. Beau Star has proved an efficient jumper and should pay his ’way on the northern circuit.

M,ay Be Short of Race. Among the National candidates who have been schooling well at Riccarton is Punchestown and he will probably be produced at Washdyke on Saturday at the South Canterbury Hunt Club's Steeplechase meeting. It was unfortunate that Punchestown injured himself in the steeplechase he won at Washdyke in May and while he looks well again there is every likelihood that the interruption necessitated in his preparation as the result of that injury may tell against him in his starts at the Riccarton carnival, ■ ' '

Billy Boy and Verden. Billy Boy and Verden were associated in a bright display of fencing over six hurdles at Trentham , the other morning and both impressed by the quality of their respective exhibitions. Billy Boy, it Is stated, will deAnitely be a starter in the Grand National Steeplechase next month and in company with Verden will leave for Riccarton on Monday night.

George’s Bydney Team. T. R. George is sending his Sydney team along an preparation for the trip across the Tasman. The likeliest member of the team to pay expenses early on the trip is said to be Princess Doreen, who as making great strides in her track trials. She returned from her spell looking exceptionally vvell and since then has done everything required of her.

Returning Home. Private advice has been received from Melbourne that the Auckland horseman L. Dulieu will arrive back in the Dominion on August 5. This will enable him to fulAl riding engagements at the Grand National meeting. Dulieu went to Melbourne to ride Membo. Membo was success■ful on the trip, hut he failed in what was his chief object, the V.R.C. Grand National. Over the Pony Fences. Illuminagh was schooled over the pony fences recently at Te Rapa and handled his task in encouraging style. Tills horse proved himself a stayer in High-welght company this season and if he takes to the new department selected for him he should in time prove a useful addition to the hurdling brigade at Te Rapa. While nothing of a definite nature has yet been decided on he may be given a run at the Pakuranga Hunt Club’s meeting next month.
