October 11,18—DobmIId Jockey Club. October 18—Masterton Baclng Club. October 20. 24-Walkato iTcT October 20, 22—Wellington B.& * October 20. 22—Gnre K.C. The Fordell trainer F. Tilley expects to take a team of four hones to the New Zealand Cup meeting. The team will consist of Consent, Mandane, Cashier and .. Freehold. > Among the two-year-olds down to race at the Waikato Club's coming meeting is Spa. The latter is a shapely filly by Lord Quex—Steinheil, but the youngster is On the small side. Kawini was well supported for the Trial Hurdle Race at Ellerslie on Saturday, but soon tailed off, and at no stage did he look like a winner, though he was staying on better than the majority at the finish in fifth place. Sis display was rather disappointing. Toxeuma is a good three-year-old and more is sure to be heard of the son of Arrowsmith. In the Great Northern Guineas he was one of the first out and was always near the front, but at the finish had to go under to Prodice. • This was his first defeat in his last four starts. Owing to the Auckland spring meetbig having to be postponed on Saturday, tho weights for the Waikato Racing Club's spring meeting will not be declared till to-morrow. Acceptances are due with the secretary or Messrs. Blomfield and Co., Auckland, at 5 p.m. next Friday. The Martian—Rose Red horse Raceful is likely to have the first of his stock racing at the coming meetings in the Waikato. Fraser, the candidate referred to, is a two-year-old from Miss Roseland, the latter a descendant of Gazeley— Vexo. Fraser is a neatly-turned youngster, but he will take time to develop.| Siaosi was not long ip making good over hurdles. At the recent Avondale meeting he finished second to Potoanui, and in his next start at the Auckland meeting on Saturday won the Trial Hurdle Race, though his rider was inclined to take things a bit easy after crossing the last hurdle, and Potoanui was only half a length away at the finish. Siaosi was one of the leaders all the way. Quincoma won over hurdles at Trentham last July, and by the manner in which he accomplished his task it was thought that he would prove difficult to dispose of at the Grand National meeting. However, his display at Riccarton was not very encouraging', and so far he has only the one hurdle event to his credit. In the Trial Hurdle Race at Ellerslie on Saturday he was third about four furlongs from home, but then lost his position, and was sixth at the finish.

i. Aussie drew No. 1 position in the Shorts Handicap at Ellerslie on Saturday and though he jumped away smartly the field had not gone two furlongß before he had lost his position and finished well back. It appears that he got interfered with in the running.' Prodice won the Avondale Guineas in easy fashion and on that showing she appeared to have a great chance in the Great Northern Guineas. She looked to be improved by her race at Avondale jrhen she was saddled up at Ellerelio on Saturday ' and she won very easily at the. finish. Berinthia, who is among the latest recruits to the ranks of the hurdlers, is being trained at Te Eapa by A. Jactyson. The daughter of Mountain Knight and Civilisation has taken well to her schooling duty over the battens and when she has had the benefit of some public experience should prove capable of getting a stake. Commendation is to have his next race at the Masterton meeting next Saturday. It is a pity this horse is so unruly at for there is no doubt concerning his galloping abilities. However, he was a bit above himself at the Auckland meeting and may improve when he has had more work. He registered a great gallop over a round on the No. 2 grass track at Ellerslie a few days ago and if he can be induced to leave the barrier he is likely to win some good races. Flying Juliet, who is under the charge of R. A. Edwards at Te Rapa this season, has been located at Ellerslie for the past three weeks. The Romeo—Penella mare had one. start at Avondale last month, but she did not show up. She made good improvement in the week that followed to the Pakuranga meeting, at which she won the Dunedin Handicap in good style. Flying Juliet s was a • starter in the strong field that contested , the Flying Handicap at Ellerslie yester- ( day. She was in a prominent position 1 throughout the seven furlongs, but tired ( a little in the ran home. Her fourth j a good showing, nevertheless, and i Flying Juliet may soon be doing better, j

Transformer showed up for a while in the Mitchelson Cup, but when the straight was reached he had had enough and finished last. For a beginner Piet ran a good race in the Trial Hurdle Race at Ellerslie on Saturday. He was always well up, and finished third. Tinopono was fourth in the Trial Hurdle Race at Ellerslie last Saturday, and he looksas though he is going to be useful in this department of the sport, for this was his first start over the "sticks" in public. White Wings was well up in the Great Northern Guineas till the straight was reached, but then dropped back, finishing sixth. She has a lot of speed, but a mile seems a little beyond her at present. She should win over a shorter course before long. Desert Glow was most leniently treated in the Mitchelson Cup with 7.0 and ran a good race, finishing second to Laughing Prince. This horse is just coming into form and he should be hard to beat in forthcoming spring, engagements. • . M ?'?. en l lm P orter fell a t the top of the hill the last time round in the Hunters' a Steeplechase at Ellerslie on Saturday, it was due to another horse bringing him t down. That is the first spill he has had s since he started steeplechasing. ' r^} nt Mone y was badly left in the Welcome Stakes at Ellerslie yesterday, j but showed a great turn of speed when i he set out to chase the field. He has , only to jump away properly to be hard ; to beat over five furlongs. ) . ! Paganelli had his first start this seai son when he contested the Shorts Handicap at Ellerslie on Saturday. He and Oration were soon making the pace, but Oration proved too good for him at the nni&h. Paganelli should be improved bv i his race. J l Episode was showing up about half a mile from home in the Great Northern s Gurneas on Saturday, but then dropped back and got on to the heels of White ' " in S B » with the result that her chances were spoiled. She, however, finished on well in fourth place. Cashier has a good record this season and he is likely to add to it still further before long. Prior to contesting the Great Northern Guineas he had not been beaten in his last three starts. He was drawn wide out, but still he began quickly and had a nice position as they entered the back stretch. However, he went back and had a good bit to make up as the field turned for home. He finished on well, but could not do better than third. Cashier, though not very big, is very solidly built and has plenty of pace. Laughing Prince won the Mitchelson Cup, but the race was made pretty easy for him as the result of the mix-up at the start in which half the field pulles up. He was never .very far from the leaders and owing to some of the riders being in a quandary as to whether the race was on or not, the pace was not very fast in the early stages. This just suited Laughing Prince, who -had no difficulty in settling the opposition in the concluding stages. In any circumstances he was expected to run a good raoe, but how he would iave fared in a truly-run mile and a-balf with 8.10 , remains to fre scjjL j;;._
