The ex-Te Raps trained Calshot is bowling along well in his work at New Plymouth. and he should he a fit horse for the Wanganui meeting. lllvor Jest changes Hands. The speedy but disappointing Silver Jest has been sold by Dr. Luulsson to the Otaxo sportsman. Mr D. .\lee. lion-lies Doing Well. Signailer is doing well and revent racing over hurdles appears to imxe improved him Very much. states a report. iie only needs to continue to make headway to he prominent at the Dunedin “'inler fixture. Prince Acre. Prince Acre ran two good races st Ellerslie. but on each occasion Just failed to run out the last furiong. He is very well and will improve on these efforts the first time track conditions are easy. it taken to Trenthsm he may repeat last year's success. llootrlo Flash. Coming to Ellerslie but a short time before the winter meeting Electric Flash run two very creditable races and left the impression that she will win in her turn. She is an aged more by Prime Merriwee—Lady Eleotrn and a sister to a winner over counll‘)‘. Dark Prince. Tooioy street. \fter his good second at 'l‘e Raps. 'i‘nniqy Street. “as it \VelLbacked run-nl-r .\wh tiny nt Elierslie. He failed f‘m‘ll day. but did not run one bad i'flt't'. and had to rover some ground through uni. iiezinning as smartly as I-\{u‘l‘iv':l. 'l'uniey Street should not I". \\rlii"n out or engagements ahead. Well-bred Vounqstor. .\ yearlinz rait. which will race as ’i’rensurer. is the latest addition to ii. .\‘nrso‘s tram nt iliecnrton, This inveniie is related to Poiydora and Rebel Star. and gives more than average promise. 0n the Upgrade. The erratic Beau Gailante ran a couple of creditable races at Otaki. & second and a fourth denoting that the chestnut is beginning -to show improved form. A big upstanding sort. he looks the type to mould into a hurdler. Poumh Wu Sore. Petrarch was withdrawn from second and third day engage-meme at i-Zilersiie owing to soreness. and he \‘w’lfi sent back to Awapuni right away. He did well in his one stnrt at Eller—

s!!(‘, finishing a fair third to Allegretto and Dlamond. so should win a minor Steeplechase this season.

National candid-to. l Hounslow is being kept going hyl T. H. Gillett. at 'Riocarton, but so tort his tasks have been of the mildestl nature. A mishap he met with some! time ago put him back in his prepara—’ tion and his prospects of being ready] for Grand .\‘ntlonal engagements dol not look too bright. ‘ A Knock Back. l The. Chief llulr-r gelding, Dodge.l hnd her-n doing well. but a poisonedl limb knocked the grilling back. He is :xcnin makingr pruri‘t‘ss. but is hard—l)‘ lilcr‘ij: to tm rmtiy for immediate mun-tints. [inriflv is :1 solid customer when well. and it. .\erunald knows how to get him that way, | Will Get Support. I \\'rmdful was among those enteredfor lumping: events at the Great Northern meeting. but he was not produced. This gelding won over hurdles at the recent Waipa meeting at T 6 Awamutu. which was his first start in this branch of the sport‘ He. tmade such a great showing that hei will not lurk for support if he is produced in the Otara Hurdles at Tsu—ranga on the King's Birthday. Quiet Departure. The .\losgiel jockey trainer A. E. Didham slipped quietly away to Aus—tralia last week. He sailed from the Bluff. taking with him Valarth and, Countertllxht. Judiciously placed.| the pair will pay expenses. During Didham's absence. his stable at MosHiel is being supervised by his ‘brother, F. Did‘ham. l ‘ Shaped Well for Beginners. l The latest recruits to the jumping brigade are Solas and Speedtast. At l Ellersiie the other day they were gl'len 1a trial over four pony hurdles in the’ l centre. and shamed in an encouraging manner for beginners. These two hacks possess any amount or speed; land when they learn to jump cor-l l really should be a useful addition to ‘ the hurdling ranks. ‘ A New Patron. Hector Gray, who is getting a team together at New Plymouth, was a visitor to flowers recently and took 'back . with him the rising three-year-old by» ‘ Paper Money from the Absurd mare . 'l‘inihanga, The latter is from Form—l less. who was out of Dreamer, the l dam of Bon Reva and Havering. The .colt. who is a likely prospect froml such a family. is owned by Mr T. ; Coltman, of Wellington. i cut of Hank Olau. l The addition to his total of the winning stake for the Talnui Handicap! ‘ at Otakl, namely. £55, took Vinco out] .0: hack class, this being his seventh lsucoess. of which six were gained i this season. He should not be dim—irult to place in open sprints and ‘he has usually improved with a race. He will not rare again this season and he goes out for a spell more robust than ‘he has ever been previously. Hus Shown Useful Form. After a spell since the autumn. Dutch Girl has rejoined A. Quiniivan's stable at l-Illerslie. The daughter of \‘anis and Miss .\leiva looks very bright] and healthy as the result of her ‘holi-l day and she should be well forward by the time the spring meetings arrive. Although not over—raced this season, Dutch Girl has shown good form.on Several occasions. and she may do much better as a iive-ycar-oid next season. Club: Book Extra Days. Several clubs have applied to the Racing Conference for extra racing! (lilies for next season. The Geraldine: .\inrton, .\ianawutu. \Vaveriey, Stratiord, 'l‘arnnuki,-(Jarterton. Levin and Grcymouth Clubs have been favoura-

uhly: recommended by their respective (listl‘il't committees, but the Auckland [listrlot committee has made no recom—

mvndzllinu 1n the cases of the Mata—nmln. Rnlorun, ’l‘c Arnha. Thames and Wnlpa Clubs, also the Rotorua and Bay or Plenty Hunt ‘Clu-bs.

Big Dividends. Only one ticket-holder coupled the two horses, Finalist and Battle Ground, constituting the totaiisator daily double, at. Newbury, Berkshire (England) recently. For the outlay 01’ 105 he received 522105 55, representing odds 01' over 4215 to 1. The ticket—hoider was Mr I’. Pnrnell, :1 wellknown raccgoer. He was one of a smail sindicnle. .\‘ewbury iliLs had three re—cords for big totalisator daily double dividends since 1930. The present record is i5Ol to i, paid over .\l. Tickler and Boozer‘s Gloom in October, 1934. Failed at Ella-silo. During the last few weeks Enge has had several races, but they have been conilned to sprint distances. Although he failed to win, he ran a good race at the Waikato meeting, when he fin—ished second to Royal Dance in the Stewards' Handicap. At the recent Great Northern meeting he was produced in the .\lem‘bers‘ Handicap. six furiongs. on the first day, and also in the Visitors“ Handicap, of similar distance. on the last. day, and though he did not. get into the money in these races the outings should do him a. lot of good If taken to the Opotiki fixture the trip may prove profitable. Saltspray. Salisprny has returned to Awaipuni from lilierslio without waiting for the later (lays or the Auckland meeting [7p in the time he fell he ran a good race in the Penrosn Hurdles, and was one of the two leaders when he came in grief at the last o'hsincle. \Yhen Snitsprny recovers from the effects 01' his in“ he should not he inner in mak—ing nmcnds, for he is well above the average. Ran Second Twloe. ;\ very promising steepierhnser was seen at the (irent .\‘orthern meeting in irish Llomet, who ran second to Ten—gled in the linnt Ulull Llup, and also occupied n similar position to Forest Glow in the Winter Steeplechase. llc jumped well in both events, and his owner-trainer. li. Sexton, evidently had a good opinion of him, as he with—drew i’runi the 'l‘nmzdii Steeplechase, 2i hack event, to run him in the \\'inler Steeplechase. Irish Comet is hy lmy tlomvl, who has produced severzil good jumpers, including Aurore iiorenlis. winner of the Urezil .\‘oi‘th—cm and the Grand .\"ntional Steeplechase. l'roni Rape of the Lock, by swim-on mlso a great producer of L'Hilii jumpers from mold Tress, by .'\vlsui-., .i trrlile winner 01‘ the Auck—land (lup. lrish unmet, though get—ting." on in )rnrs, should win it good innipinj: event before his career is I'lilil'lii ...
