May Not Be Long With 15 competitors in the hurdles at Paeroa Chain Acre, having his first effort in public over the battens, shaped well to run fourth. He may not be long before registering a win. New Owners Since August Ist no less tlxan 80 sets of colours have been registered with the Racing Conference. OX this number 70 are those of owners not previously represented on the turf. Well Related Silver Coin, who finished third in lier Hawke's Bay engagement, is a half-sister to Kindergarten, and is said to be a promising performer this season, and likely to do well. Brother to Kentucky Solver,, a full brother to Kentucky, bj" Vermeer—Lady Lois, opened his winning account by scoring in the Novice Slakes at the Wanganui meeting. He is owned by Mr R. S. Hosk'ing. of Whangarei, and trained by G. New at Awapuni. We'll Fancied The. Foxbridge colt, Shining Night who won the Turf Club Handicap at Randwick last month, is now highly fancied for the Metropolitan Handicap, one mile and a half, to be decided in November.

Not Yet Retired The Siegfried—All Bright, gelding, Siglow, who has done, most of his racing in the Wellington province, and who in the autumn was reported to have been retired from the turf is again in work on the Hastings tracks. Last year lie. paid.' his way well, and is likely to do l'ikeAvise in the. near future. Resumption of Course - The Wanganui Jockov Club cxpeels that it will be able to race on its own course at the summer meeting. Owing to the property having been under military occupation in recent years its meetings have been held at Marton. Clarice Returns The Taranaki front rank sprinter, Clarice, is said to be, all the better for her winter spell and has been re-commissioned looking • remarkably well. Last season the Solicitor-Gen-eral —Royal Flavour filly won six races and registered. ,four seconds and one third. This season she will not be set the task of chasing Kindergarten in sprint events. Prospectsi Bright The New Zealand Derby winner, Battle Dress, is galloping so well at New Plymouth that his prospects this season are; considered very bright. Jonathan Jo Messrs Jumicson and Nelson's Jonathan Jo. winner of four races last season, has again been taken up by H. Dulicu at New Plymouth. Now a four year old. he should race well this' season, especially in events of over a mile. Accident to Shah Jahan Sliar Jahan, a three year old by Bulandshar —Prestige, broke a leg while galloping at Hastings-, last week. This full brother to Yogi and Peerless full of promise as a galloper. He is now in the hands of a veterinary surgeon. Showing Brilliancy Mr John Wren, of Melbourne, now owner of the New Zealand bred Dominate, by Plialeron Bay from Martial Lady, is still pleasing his connections by skipping over his hall'-mile sprints in 49se.es. Last season in this Dominion he started 15 times for two seconds and a third, but is likely to improve upon this very considerably in Australia, for as a lour year old he may be in his best vcar.

The Next Best in Otago Tiie Joker is claimed to be the. best handicap horse in New Zealand after the champion Kindergarten. In Canterbury this distinction is awarded, to Royal Lancer, while Auckland favours Lord Chancellor under this heading, in the Te A roll a district the honour would be accorded. Lou Rosa, for lie has more, than (.nice finished closer to Kindergarten than either of the three mentioned, and is probably the biggest stake earner. Gay Lally Runs Well Gay Lulh''.s third in the MiLehelson Cpi> was a very meritorious effort for the Whirlwind representative was haAing his first start thh season. The gallop will benefit him and. he may do better at Cambridge on Labour Day.
