OLD BILL RETIRED Old Bill iinislud his racing career at Martori last Saturday when lu went in a ligament. Old Bill is 'to go to the stud, but lie is to remain al Awapuni in the charge of Lnl:tWilson, who lias Imd since lie was a youngster. Old Bill hf.s not bee: over-raced, and. lie has always bad the best of attention. By Siegfried from the Lorjd Qucx-Lovc -Match (Martian-Love Lorn) marc, Liaison, hi j breeding will appeal to everyone, who is anxious for .staying blood.

SHOWED A LOT OF SPEED Despite the fact that Stepping had only had a brief preparation her showing in the Pioneer Handicap was very encouraging. The daughter of Chatsworth and Feldberg lost ground at the start but, when she got under way, revealed brilliant speed while her condition lasted.

HAS THE ABILITY Having liis first race since the 1939-40 season, Hunting King was responsible for a solid performance when lie ran second to Charivari in the Trial Plate last Saturday. This four year old is a very powerfullybuilt gelding, and the fact that he can act in any going will be a big asset to him this spring. IN FIRST RATE CONDITJON Nothing of a serious nature has been required of Cherry s Ticket since she raced at the Pakuranga meeting, but no fault can be found with her condition. This (illy started the new season well. F. Gilchrist should have little difficulty in getting more money with the daughtel of Croupier and Ticket. RETURNING TO FORM When tried against, the sprinters in the Flying Handicap at ' Ellerslie last Saturday, Landveyor put up n very creditable performance. He looks all the better for the race, and it will not be long be Tore he is back lo the form that enabled, him to earn distinction over middle distances ilast season. Landveyor is engaged at the Ohinemuri meeting. A LIKELY JUVENILE General Burleigh by SolicitorGeneral from Lady Burleigh, a run-ner-up in the Pioneer Handicap at the Avondale meeting is spoken of

as likely to he racing very prominently this season. He is trained by Ernie George of jhllerslie, whose principal winner last season was Clinch, VERY FIT It is reported from Hawke's Bay that Gay Genet, a member of J. H. JcfYerd's team, is one of the fittest candidates in work on the Hastings tracks, and is likelj' to be a popular fancy for early spring engagements. ON EASY LIST The well known trainer, Morry Abbott, is at present on "the easy list,"' consequent upon sustaining a broken arm when his hunter fell at a recent hunt meet. Nevertheless he will have a small team to represent the stable at the Ohinemuri meeting.

w J PAEROA OWNED The Paeroa owner, Mr Parrey Evans, who last season had a successful run with Betterment, started the season oil" well with Skydonna. a winner of the second division of. the Trial Plate at the Avondalc fixture. Skydonna is a four year old chestnut mare by Sky Cracker Dionette. She has started her winning career a little late, but-should race well throughout the season.

A HOLIDAY Indian Sun, the Hawcra Steeplechase victor, has been turned out for an extended spell, the intention being to bring liim in again labout January next. SIRES OF WINNING JUVENILES The Blandford horse SolicitorGeneral was the most successful sirej of -winning two year olds last season, his twelve representatives on the race track winning 12 races. Others well up on the list were Bulandsliar 9 wins, Foxbridge 6', Mr Standfast and Man's Pal 5 each. FANCIED CANDIDATES Two fancied candidates in Frank Tutchen's stable, Kinstep and Water Hound, did not line up at the Avondalc meeting. They are, however both fit and well, ancl quite ready to again carry racing colours.
