:i ' ■ ‘ GOSSIP FROM ALL PARTS.

Judging from the wealth of <p4.ing two-year-old talent at present located at To Rapa local stables should be well represented in the racing juvenile ranks of next season. L. J. Ellis’ Mount. With Merry Peel and Wino at present unlikely starters it 'is possible that L. J. Ellis will be riding Rebel Lad in the Winter Cup. Progress of Red Sun. Red Sun Is again rousing enthusiasm in his work at Trentham, and there is a prospect of his developing into a good hurdler in the spring. His recent soreness was due to a faulty shoe. Defloit for the Year. A"deficit on the year's working amounting to'£392 was disclosed in the annual report of the Dargaville Racing Club, after allowing for £249 depreciation. Not Going To Rlccarton. High Grader strained a muscle when running in the Trentham Hurdle Race on the opening- day of the Wellington Racing Club’s recent meeting and he has since been on the easy list. Up will in consequence not be going down to the Grand National meeting. Magic Land. ■Magic Land, formerly a member of C. Carmont’s string at Te Rapa, has been disposed of for use as a hunter to a sportsman In the To Awamutu district. Worthy King. Worthy King has wintered well and put in an appearance on the track this week. During the past few weeks' he has been getting through any amount of solid work on the roads and Is in satisfactory condition to enter on a preparation.. Dtaura King. Although nothing, much is being required from him at present, Otaura King, who has not raced since ho opened his account at Tauherenlkau at tho N’ew Year, Is again among the regular workers at Trentham. 'His trouble was a bowed tendon, which seems to have been corrected with his spell.

Not To Raoe Again. The winner of the Australian Hurdle Race of 1933, Poldale, developed lameness after working at Caulfield last week and is not to race again. II was an old injury that had come back on him, a slipped muscle. His owner, Mr P. G. Hay,' commented that the horse had earned his retirement as he had been a good stake earner for him. Has Filled Out. Mr L. H. Collinson's rising three-year-old Finnesko (Defoe —Snoyvshoe) has filled out considerably during the winter and he has developed into a very fine looking colt. Legatee also looks a picture of health, but his work at present consists mainly of pacing the reverse way. Tudor and Cardliu are both fit and well. Prlnoe Val’s Condition. The latest reports from Rlccarton regarding the progress of the Waikato recruit to hurdling, Prince Yal, are to the effect that he is apparently suffer-; ing from back trouble. In a trialover a round of Hie hurdles he again failed to jump with any -confidence and withal performed like a novice at the game Instead of one who gave a dashing display at Trentham until he crashed at the final obstacle when he. appeared to have the race In safe keeping.

V.R.C. Grand National Winner. The V.R.C. Grand National winner Riawena, like another fine ’chaser of recent years,'Mosstrooper,'is descended from the Panic mare Nameless. Panic was the. sire of •Redlcap, and founded a great line of jumpers in Victoria. Riawena’s sire, Costello, is by Mareo, while, her dam is by the Clafiranald horse Sharp-shooter, who was bred by Sir George Clifford and sold to “Mr S. A. Rawdon,” of Melbourne.

Boosted the Tote. •Derby belting gave the tolalisator a boost in England. Bahrain, who was 5 to 4 . against in the ring, returned a tote, dividend at the rate of 2 to L On 'the place machine he paid 3s 3d for 2s. . The. total amount invested on the tote for tho Derby was f 25,585 ss, of which £12,20.1 6s was straight-out, and £13,384 2s on the place machine. On all Other races ,-durlng the day straight-out bets greatly exceeded those on the place machine. Threw It Away. A ■ hard-luck' story comes from France. It is "possible' to place allup totallsator bets with the city agencies,, and. at Lyons, a punter, with an Initial outlay of ss, ran his winnings into £.450. For a few days he was so occupied in telling everyone about his cleverness that he forgot that after five days claims become null and void, and- as he failed'to present I his ticket within the specified time •hd' did not' collect. Another Lyons investor, from an outlay of 27s on tho first race, ran an accumulator into £6OOO, and at Chantilly ’-a stable-boy collected over £4OO from his opening bet of half-a-orown.

A Shapely Youngster. According to a Dunedin report the Baralong colt purchased by - r • ‘ Barton in Australia is a shapely oun ° ster that pleases the eye. He . level-built on good lines, and has easy j action when cantering. j I Woll-proportloned Gelding. ; Among the recent' additions to Reilly’s team Is a five-year-old -gelding by Raceful from Archangel for whom the name Cappy has been f aoqul[red He Is a well-proportioned fellow and should stand up to a solid preparation. , A Well-bred Hack., -Granvale, winner of the Okawa Maiden at the Hawke’s Bay meeting last Saturday, is by __ Giand- j court from Valley Rose, by soUeimo from Alisa, by Wallace from mi Away. Granvale did not meet a strong field at Hastings, but be won his race at the right end -and is likely , to improve, for he had had little picvious racing. Kept Bahram’s Dam Alive. Friar’s Daughter, dam of Bahrain, nearly died as a foal soon after sic was bought by Mrs E. Plummer. The latter nursed her night and day for a week. As a yearling, Friar’s Daughter was purchased by the Aga Khan for 250gns. Mrs Plummer expressed a hope that if Bahram won the Derby , the Aga Khan would send her a -signed . photograph of the horse. Almost the first thing said by the Aga Khan to a London press-man, who congratulated him shortly after the race, was. that Mrs Plummer should have the photograph.

Eng’lsh “Tote” Profits. The Betting Control Board and racecourse executives do noi, I understand, agree over -the manner in which profits from the totallsator should be used (says Captain Heath, a well-known English writer). Recently the board distributed to executives -a portion of their surplus, but there was an accompanying instruction that the money should be devoted to increasing the stakes -already put up -by racecourse companies. Execu- , tlves who control our racecourses, feel that their primary consideration Is for the public, Vvho.se money keeps the meetings going, and that increased stakes should come later. Most racecourse companies would, I learn, prefer to savo the money handed to them by the board with'a'view to rebuilding out-of-date stands and other- j wise Increasing the amenities they can offer. This is -a matter which should be easily adjustable, for the money involved is at the moment small. One well-known racecourse company received as 11s share no more than £27; another world-famous racecourse was presented with £45.
