Although he is on the easy list 3 just now it is hoped to start Regal , Fox in the New Zealand St. Lcger . to be run at Trentham in March. ( RAKANUI SORE Lately Rakanui has been shewing 1 signs of soreness, and may require a spell before regaining his best form. SALE OF SING SING The southern three year old Sing Sing by Salamagundi—Shelter, who has won each of her last three starts has been sold to Mr D. Cruckshank, of Invercargill, at a high figure. RESPIRATORY TROUBLE Mr Frank Ormond's Burra Sahib has been successfully operated on for respiratory trouble. It is expected that next season he will add to his winning list. RACING ABANDONED The Reef ton and Otautau Jockey ] Clubs and the Wairoa Racing Club have abandoned their meetings which

were to have been held in February. TRAVELLING RISKS The successful sprinter Chcval de Bataille while being transported in a motor vehicle last week became involved in a collision, and received injuries that will prevent him from being raced far some months. NIGHT PILOT AMISS The Night Raid representative, Night Pilot, has developed lameness, and has been turned out for a lengthy spell. This fact is rather unfortunate for his owner, Mrs W. D. Graham, as the horse promised tc be a gcod racing proposition during the autumn. BRED RIGHT Mr W. S. Goosman's colt Representative a recent winner, is a fu'. brother to the New Zealand Cu| winner Screnata, beiny, by Niftht march from Praise. On breediin lines he should be a good winner a: a" three year old next season.

NOT YET A STAYER The Te A warn IUII owned Neenah, avlio started off his turf career in brilliant style, has lately weakened in his efforts in the final stages of the running. The Foxbridge—Qui.nkama representative has plenty of speed, and may stay on better towards the end of the season. AUSTRALIAN BRED Piastre, winner of the 1941 Auckland Chip, was bred in Australia. As a yearling he was purchased by T. R. George for his present owner for 100 guineas. Other Australian horses to win the Auckland Cup were King Quail (1891). Nelson (three times). Pegasus, Tanadees and Corinax. DUTY OF RACING CLUBS It is understood that the New Zealand Racing Conference Executive is of tiie opinion that it is the duty of racing clubs tci hold their meetings if possible to keep faith j «vith owners and those dependent upon the sport for their livelihood. HIGHLY ASSESSED The Southland owned jumper Noko who has lately registered easy victories over the battens is by Sir Simper from Dark Marie. The latter has previously been represented on the turf by Frenchman, Apache and Paris, but Noko is considered to be quite the best of the family for cross country work. A REFORMED CHARACTER Absolve was always a brilliant galloper, but he cordd not be relied upon to do his best, and Captain Edkins gelded him and turned him out. He is now raced by Mr A. J. AVray and is trained at Trentham by W. J. Evans, for whom he did his first racing at Miarton. He ran third on the first day and Avon on the second and "showed all his old pace and promise. He lias only got to go on the right way to win again shortly. HUGME WELL RELATEDHugme. who Avon on each day a! Hastings, is by liulandshar from a sister to Cirldh (Foil'!!*') .
