RACING NOTES Density. It is reported that Density, who has not raced since the South Canterbury Jockey Club's autumn meet ing/ looks in wonderful order to commence a spring preparation. There does not seem much prospect at present of her getting away f o Australia,, but the trip would be undertaken if transport conditions improved. x Horses for Courses. Valmint, one of the Ellerslie Avorkers, who prevailed in the Cornwall Handicap in June last, is being specially prepared for the Jellicoe Handicap to be run this week. It may be noted that Valmint was victorious in this event in 1937 and 1939, so is sure to be much in favour on this occasion, more especially when it is generally admitted that he runs his best races at Ellerslie. 3 Pipi. One of the unluckiest horses ever saddled for the Grand National Steeplechase Avas Pipi, AA r ho finished second in three consecutive years and third in the folloAving year. The onlj r other Dune,din-owned horses to fill a place since then arc The Brewer, second in 1915,, and Tuki, AA r ho ran third in 1928 in Mr J. M. Samson's colours, Tuki won in 1925, when OAA r ned in the North Island. High Caste. High Caste Avill not start in Hie Melbourne Cup, as J. T. Jamieson is convinced that the Bulandshar four year old is not a staj r er. Whether lie runs in the Caulfield Cup depends on the venue of the race. The V.A.T.C. course is at present a military depot, ancL unless the suspension of recruiting*alters the posi tion the Caulfield Cup Avill have lo be nm at Flemington, where the straight is much longer. '■Continued at foot of next coliiim:")

The Pakuranga Double. For the Jellicoe Handicap the favourite division comprises Young; Paddon, Brazen Bold, Flying Acre, Valmint and Val Lu. Fancied for Admiralty Handicap, of six fur--, longs, are Llandaff, Our Jean, Miss, Valimeen . and Lou Rosa. May Stay Better. The Hunting Song mare Hunter's Rose, a member of R. S. Bagby's team, that brought off a very coup at Rotorua in February last, but who has since disappointed her party more than once, has just been re-commissioned. It is expected that as a five year old this light 4 chest---nut daughter of Rose Willonyx will stay on better. If so there will be some good money in store for her admirers. Hard Times. Shortly before, the French surrender, Clause Halsey, who has trained in France for many years, had one horse killed injured by a bomb that his stables at Chantilly. One cannot help wondering what has happened to French hoises, trainers and jockeys. % Many racing men were on active service, including R, Brethss, whp visited England this year and won htfo, races on French horses at Newmarket. Several trainers and jockeys were practically penniless when they arrived in England from' Belgium. They were unable to bringaway any of their possessions, and were trying to get billets in English stables. Now that England has: gone out of racing their position is worse than ever.
