There is certainly every indication of a big boom in racing in the Argentine, as this year’s programme of the Buenos Aires Jockey Club alone includes two races of £lO,OOO each for the winner, and a third of £5.000. One of the £lO,OOO races, the Carlos Pellegrini Stakes, has £l,OOO for the second and £5OO for the third, the distance being a mile and seven furlongs at weight-for-age. At Calcutta last month Mr. A.A. Apcar won the Merchants’ Plate, one mile and a half, with his English-bred gelding Mayfowl, who was weighted at 6st. 101 b., and in the hands of the Sydney boy, Kuhn, won by a head from Bulldog, 7st. 131 b. Misty Morn, Bst. 81b, and the Viceroy’s Cup winner, Retort, 9st. 131 b, were, with .others, unplaced.
