RACING NOTES

Lord Advocate The Solicitor General —Sweet Beautjr four year old, who was the ruling favourite for tlie Winter Cup but had to be withdrawn on account of developing a filled hind Jcg, has made a good recovery, and. hopes arc entertained that he will soon make up for lost time, as he is very forward in respect to racing condition. As a three, year old he won three races, and also registered six seconds. Has Gone Amiss Wanganui's hope for the. Waaganui Guineas, Keite-He., by Dcf.oc. — Lovecourt who has been working brilliantly, has gone amiss, and is not expected to carrying racing colours this season. Another Liberty Loan The Christchurch sportsman, Mr F. Nelson, has, named his Paladin— Bourse gelding, .Liberty Loan, flc is bred on winning lines, and is likely to be successfully placed by his connections. Waikato Hunt Club The Waikato Hunt Club has drawn up an attractive programme for Labour Day at Cambridge. The sta'kes for the one day meeting will total £2250., the. Hunt Cup being worth £575 and the Members' Handicap £450. Likely to Improve Tlie Vaals—Acre gelding, Koura Eka, trained at. Te Awamutu by E. .T. Murtagh, will probably be kept to hurdling this season. His first effort in public over the battens Avas at the Pakuranga meeting, where his. jumping left, much to be desired. It is quite likely lie may show distinct improvement in his jumping, and as he can gallop fast, should continue to pay lii.s way. The Joker Shipped The Dunedin entrant for the Melbourne Cup, The Jo'ker, has been shipped to Australia in charge' of K. Jamicson. Jin due' course R. J. Mac-, kie will go across to rid the; Paladin —Attractive Lady gelding in the world famous race. Change of Location The new owner of Circular Note, by Paper Money—Sister Radius,, is Mr C. Doughty, of Hastings. The horse Avill be trained there by J. Paramore. Now in Waikato The well known Riccarton rider, S. Green, is now located in Waikato, and is sure of plenty of rides during his stay in the; north.

He Came to Light Boden Park, the winner of the Stratford Handicap, at IJawcra, was the outsider of the field. He had an easy victory for he won by four lengths goilng away from Be Henna a and Autolite. Last season he competed in 13 races and. failed to gain a place. Dully Named The two year old filly by Chatsworth—llulette, to race in the colours of Mrs McGovern, of Tc Awamut u, has been named Chalette. As a member of R. S. Bagbv's Ellerslie team she is exercising light work on the tracks. Not Sold Bashful Lad 3% a double winner at the National meeting, was reported to have; been sold to a North Island sportsman, but evidently there was some hitch in ths negotiations,, and the. marc is still competing at Otago fixtures. Travancore Fit The HaWke's Bay owned Bulandsliar colt Travancore, who makes periodical trips to Auckland to rejoin R. S. Bagby's Ellerslie team, is reported ot be "fighting fit" just now and may again come north in the near future. Highly Assessed The Mr Standfast colt, Mr Valiant, is being highly assessed in Hawke's Bay. He has developed into a very fine type of thoroughbred, and is considered to be the best three year old in that province this season. Well Named In work at. Hastings and showing galloping ability is High Ideal, the full broither to Lowry Bay. Being a big -colt he. may be one to require time to be at his beisft. By Foxlight from My Meal he is well named. Has Made a Start W. J. Brougliton, who was narrowly defeated last season by W. F. Ellis for the N.Z. Jockey Championship, scored his first win this season on Sir Wrna at the Egmont meeting. As a matter of fact Brougliton is somewhat handicapped by reason of being in camp, and does not always arrange for leave to ride at distant meetings.
