Porirua Jumpers for A.R.C. Meeting—Negative Meets With Mishap. WELLINGTON .Monday. In Naupata and Kauwairoa the Ponrua stable should be well represented in jumping events during the progress of the A.R.C. meeting. Both horses show some promise, and their Auckland prospects are held in high esteem. Negative overreached himself while schooling at Levin the other morning, and in consequence the gelding will be an absentee from the race tracks for some little time to come. Kooya, with 8.6 opposite her name, reads well in the Manawatu Cup. The mare showed some form at Woodville, and her prospects of faring well at Awapuni appear very encouraging. Mystified (Mystification — Stepdaughter) is expected to make a bold display in the Manawatu Cup. The mare is thought capable of winning a decent handicap during the Christmas campaign. With another race or two Crown Imperial (Martagon—Mackaroon), one of the Highden horses bought by G. Price in England, should be getting amongst the winners. The three-year-old is a promising sort, and later on will be heard of to advantage. R. Young, one of our most accomplished cross-country horsemen, is one of the latest of the sporting fraternity to join the colours. “Bobby” is in camp at Tauherenikau. Attached to J. Walker’s training establishment at Carterton is a promising lightweight in L. Patrick, who can go to scale at 6st. He has been nding work for two years, and from the capital manner in which he handles his mounts he appears assured of gaining a high place amongst New Zealand riders. G. Brown, of Palmerston North, is putting into work a typical galloper in a five-year-old gelding by Sweet Simon from a Sou’-wester mare. The horse is going on the right way, and gives every indication of developing into something useful. Black Ada (All Black —Armada), trained by T. Lloyd at Marton, is shortly due for a win. The mare’s turn will come at the Christmas meetings, where she should do Mr. “Rod” some good turns. In Master Moutoa and Lady Laddo Foxton is well represented in the Manawatu Cup The latter looked very fit at Woodville, and with only 6.11 to carry her prospects appear very bright.

Pursefiller has cost her connections a heap of money, and it would be a pleasing incident to record a win for the daughter of Lethe —Golden View. Her turn may come during the Christmas racing campaign. Denise Orme, with 7.13 opposite her name, reads the best of those engaged in the Fitzherbert Handicap (six furlongs) at Manawatu. Alex Hall has the chestnut mare in rare form, and she should fare well at the Manawatu meeting. The bay filly Ayah, by All Red from Hermosa, who was bought for 90 guineas at the Christchurch November sales by the Waikanae studmaster, Mr. lan Duncan, has since been sold by the latter gentleman to Mr. Eu Rl,ddj.,ford. The youngster, who was born on September 15th, 1913, gives every promise of developing into an ideal stamp of a galloper. Ayah will join J. W. Lowe’s stable at Tr entham to be prepared for her racing career.
