Fitzgerald's team at Gisbornc, during which time he has Avon over one hundred events for this wellknown owner. Now lie has, owing to transport difficulties in the carriage of racehorses, relinquished his position, with the result that most of lis charges have been turned out. The champion, Kindergarten, is being kept in liglit work by Mir Fitzgerald, but as he is quite sound may be transferred in due coursc to a better training centre. S TEEPLECHASING Tidewaitcr is being given a course of schooling ove big fences and will join the ranks of steeplechaser in view of winter events. He is a good type of jumper of weight carrying ability, so maj- be a success in his new department. TOTALISATOR TURNOVER The totalisator turnover at the Waikato meeting was £57,471, an increase of £G729 over last year's figures. A WELL BRED JUVENILE Naini Tal,. who ran third in the Waimangu Stakes at Rotorua, should make his mark before the end of the season.

HAPPY ENDING AT TRENTHAM The New Zealand and Wellington Cup winner, Happy Finding, has been executing very solid work at Trentham, and is expected to run right up to form in the principal event there on Saturday. A GOOD PLUGGER An Auckland writes considers Sen Law "is more of a good plugger than anything else." There are probably many backers who have an idea that the Foxbridge horse must have executed some brilliant gallops at Taltaniiii before being brought right into the limelight for the Storey Memorial. GAY ROSETTE The backward running of Gay Rosette in the Storey Memorial has since been attributed to the fact that she was kept back to her field Instead of being allowed to'run her usual race out in front. IMPROVING Having his second essay over the obstacles The Cardinal showed improvement by running- fourth in the Frankton Hurdles in fast time. The hard track was not especially to his fancy, and before long he is likely to show up to better advantage.
