TURF GOSSIP. Nominations for the Woodville Meeting close to-morrow. Acceptances for the Takapuna Spring Meeting close to-morrow. The Winton Jockey Club's Spring Meeting will conclude to-day. The hurdler Koauau was left at Riccarton to remain in W. McDonald's charge for a few weeks. Riccarton stables will be strongly represented in the Auckland Cup by Count Cavour, Footfall, and Rapier, while Agrion, Childsplay, and Martarma will be engaged in the classic events.

In England, National Hunt Club racing will now be indulged in. But already the Derby of 1928 is being discussed. Fairway is being spoken of as a Blue Riband" possibility. Thus a writer in "Horse and Hound": "Seven hor.-es have won both the Champagne Stale- and Derby, although in the ass <>{ Crasariour he was disqualified at Kpsom. Time will show whether Fairway, the latest hero of the Doiuaster race, can bring off the double, and although as regards his looks the brot eto Pharos Cwlio raif second to Papyrus in the Derby) docs not greatly appeal to me. ho is a colt that I have much faith in for the future, as he fin'shes his race in the style of a thorough stayer, and also like a horse that loves racing, a very important ami none-too-common qunlitv amongst latter-day racers. Bred nnd owned bv Lord Derby. Fairway, foaled on April 14th, 1925, is a bry colt by Phalaris out of Senna Flow, bv Chaucer from hv Love Wisely."

Gold Light's first production is nothing to crr.huse over, says a Hrstings puper: in fact, of all the foals run-iny alongside their mothers at Karamu. this particular one would in selection 1*? pa,s=ed over for any of the rest. Will the Hymettus—Simper mare join the l>i" majority of turf champions to go down in history as a stud failure? The leading owner and breeder in England when the last English mail Jeft was Lord Derby. A dozen horses carrying Lord Derby's colours have won i'ti rates this season for £<32.002. and this exceeds by over £BOOO the aggregate of Lord Astor, second on the list. Call Boy was mainly responsible for_ the late Mr F. Curzon's total of £'17.193. the deceased being represented by three other winners. The exAustraliau, Stanley Wootton, is well up on the list with £11,555. Of the leading dozen owners in England. Wootton is represented by the greatest number of winners and the greatest number of races won.

A racehorse named Guinea Stamp died under peculiar circumstances at Park Broom, near Carlisle, England. There are indications that the horse was tampered with maliciously and that if these suspicions are confirmed the matter will be placed in the hands of the police. The horse, which iu the spring had been the subject of litigation, had been out to grass at the farm of Mr Patrick McClosky, and while in a loose-box developed illness, and died in a few hours. A veterinary surgeon's post-mortem examination revealed peritonitis, and that the injury could have been done with a blunt instrument. Certain of the organs were sent to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. In Melbourne, S. Davidson had a most unusual experience. He went through the V.R.C. Spring Meeting without a winning mount, which shows even the most capable can strike a bad patch. Prior to this occasion it must be a loner time since three davs' successive riding did not return Davidson at least one win.

R. Reed had a similar experience at Riccarton with four days' riding.

Of the £42,474 distributed ffv the Victoria Racing Club at its Spring Meeting, Mr E. E. D. Clarke received £14,534 and a cup valued at £2OO, for Trivalve's two wins. Only eight other owners reached the four figure mark, and minor place money was the medium of two. Son o' Mine and Gothic returned Mr Green £I3OO without winning, and Mr W. Kelso got £IOOO for Statesman's Derby seconcf

The total value of the Melbourne Cup was £13,198. Of that £IO,OOO was added money, and a £2OO trophy. Owners consequently subscribed £2998 in forfeits and sweepstakes. Whit© Fang, who paid the expenses of his southern trip when he won the Carnival Handicap at Flemington a fortnight ago, is returning to New Zealand. He goes to Gisborne, bnt, as he is in excellent condition, his owner may prefer to race him at the Summer Meetings before giving him a Bpell. Although beaten on several occasions, when expected to win, White Fane's two wins at Randwick and one at Flemington have repaid his owner for sending him to Sydney. Bicolor (Magpie—Charleville) is to he offered at auction on December 32nd. At the recent V.R.C. Meeting Bicolor deadheated Eridanus for the Hotham Handicap, and half-wav down the straight was a place possibility for the Melbourne. Cup, in which he eventually finished fifth. With so much to recommend him. there should be keen competition for Bicolor, who, as a yearling, was sold for 1600gns. True Blood and White Wings, owned by Mr W. Scholium, were sent back to New Zealand last week (says the "Referee"), and Royal Blood, another of that owner's team, has been left in Sydney. He is in C. O'Rourke's Btable, and should pick up a sprint r;.ce or two. As the value of the A.J.C. Suburban Handicap, won by True Blood, was £914, and the horse was backed at a long price, it is probable the trip gave Mr Scholium a margin of profit, if not a large one.

TROTTING NOTES. Acceptances for the Forbqry Park Spring Meeting close to-morrow. The Auckland trainer, J. S. Shaw, who has leased the chestnut pacer Bold Bill, took him north with Amaris and Jewel Pointer. Horses that finish more than a furlong behind the winner in novice events under the control of the Victorian Trotting and Racing Association are liable to have their registration cancelled. At a recent Meeting reveral horses were placed on the list, and at the next Meeting held there were distinct signs of activity by drivers in an endeavour to get their horsos home at least less than a furlong behind the leader. After one race a driver was called before the stewards to explain the lack of speed on the part of his horse. He explained that he "was in the mob." He was too, lor only three of the starters finished within a furlong of the winner. ~~ """"" ■ ~*3

The latest addition to C. S. Donald's Belfast team is Exclusive, who has been leased from Mr 11. Fox.

The Greymouth Trotting Cup, to bo decided on January sth, will carry stake money to the valne of 400 soys, including a cup valued at 30 sovs. The distance of the race is IG} furlongs. South Island trotting enthusiasts will have some interest in the Otahuliu Trotting Club's Spring Meeting, which commences on Saturday, by reason of the fact that several horses from Canterbury are engaged during the day. On Tuesday, A. Hendriksen, with Cardinal Logan and Daytime, and ft. B. Berry, with Jean McEiwyn and Sea Pearl, left for the north, but F. Holmes, who had four horses engaged, was unable to secure accommodation on the ferry steamer. Daytime is a six-year-old gelding by Nelson Bingen —Olivowood, and lias been going well in his work. On tlie opening day lie is eugaged in the Stewards' Handicap (harness), li miles, and the Manukau Handicap (saddle), one mile, but will probably lie started in file former race. Cardinal Logan, after his good show ng in the New Zealand Cup. will have many supporters for the Jellicoe Handicap, and handicapped on 4.27 ho looks to have a royal chance. He should hold safe Sea Pearl, who is set to give. him 12 vards. Jean M'Eiwyn. who is cnQrared in the Mangcre Handicap, of 1 i miles, is one of the best brrd horses in New Zenlnnil. bv Nelson Bingen— Miss Spear, the latter an imnorted mare bv Peter the Great, claiming relationship to the champion trotter Mr McKhvvn. Je"n is a promising youngster, and worked well pt Adprevio"s!v to Inst week's Meeting.

A very interesting case came before the Sydnav District Court on October 20 , when A. J. H. Playford, milk vendor, claimed £l5O compensation from M. Fitzgibbons, owner, for the loss of a mare. Defendant pair] £45 into Court. It appears that on July 19th an un-named mare by High Admiral from a Ribbonwocd mare, was hit by a motor-bus, when being driven by a son of plaintiff. Her chest was gashed and the injury was fatal; a veterinary surgeon ordering a- policeman to snoot her a week later. Trainer T. McGrath, who has High Admiral, valued the mare at about £l5O. Clvde Hall, trainer, said he had offered 100 guineas for the mare for a client. Judge Edwards gave a verdict for the amount claimed.

RICHMOND THOUSAND.

TWELVE HORSES FALL

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS TAKEN,

' The Richmond (New South Wales) Trotting Thousand decided on October 31st n.su»ted as follows:—G. M.nc am's Red Razil by Bazil li— Merry Waltz scr (Owner) 1; J. Rowbottom's Retreat, ■Jrk yds u. James) 2; ii. Gibbs's Direct Ahdallau, scr, R. S. Henry, 3. The mile and a half was covered in 3.27. The "Australian Trotting Record," of November 2nd, has the following comments to make concerning the race:— "Never before and probably never again, will a Richmond Trotting Thousand Meeting be such a debacle as it was on Monday.. The big race proved a fiasco and to the relief of most people, there were no serious consequences Loai the series of smashes that followed the upsetting of Murray Chimes and Auto Machine soon after the start of the big raoe. Twelve of the twenty-two starters fell. Whether the hooting and the subsequent disqualification of Jack James was warranted in the Thousand remains to be seen. James has appealed against the twelve months' disqualification imposed upon him for ailegsd careless and negligent driving. It means a serious penalty to this expert reinsman, who also has a small.team of gallopers in action. Retreat, who is. acknowledged by men who have driven him to be a very hard puller, seemed to have his head twisted when crossing at the spot where he is blamed for having caused Dixie's Pride, Kinnie Basil, and Nervie Dillon to fall, opposite the stand." As a result of the smash interesting developments are pending and the Svdney "Referee" says that: "Mr L. S. "Lazarus, solicitor, acting on behalf of H. Toomer, of Bendigo, trainer and lessee of Kinnie Bazil, has issued a Supreme Court writ against John James, of Mackie.street, Bentleigh, the driver of Retreat, who finished second in the Richmond Trotting Thousand. Tooir.or, by his writ, sets out that he was the driver of Kinnie Bazil in the trotting race run at Richmond racecourse, and known as the Richmond Thousand. James was the driver of Retreat, a competitor in the same race.

loomer alleges that James wilfully ?vf Retreat in sucn a manner as to collide with Kinnie Bazil, or to cause Kinnie Bazil t» collide with Retreat and other competitors, or in such a manner as to obstruct Kinnie Bazil. 'Alternatively, Toomer alleges that James so negligently drove and managed Retreat as to cnllfde with Kinnie Bazil, or to cause Kinnie Bazil to collide with Retreat and other competitors m the race.

"Toomer and Kinnie Bazil were thrown to the ground, and plaintiff sustained injury. Kinnie Bazil was also injured, and was unable to compote further m the race. The sulky was destroyed. Plaintiff elfins £32 for tho loss of the sulky, and £SOO for the loss of the services of Kinnie Bazil in the race, and future competitions."

INVERCARGILL, November 16 The first day of the Winton Jockey Club's Annual Meeting was hold in roally summer weather, and before a good attendance. Except, that the grass was unnecessarily long, the track was in excellent order. For the Trial Stakes Handicap Ooomassie was sent out an odds-on favourite, carrying more than three times as much as cither Lady Winton or Ace of Hearts, with only Arandale and Zelanian of the others well backed. Ace of Hearts led out from Zelanian, but before going two furlongs the favourite had run into second place and, with Ace of Hearts, drew right away from the others. The favourite was in trouble at the home turn, and Ace of Hearts went on to win easily by three lengths from Ooomassie, who struggled on to beat Zelanian by a length. The Hokonui Harness Trot provided a good betting pool. Tarndale was sent out a bet- ' ter favourite than Slump, with Revolt and Miss Adonis the best backed of the others. Jock Bingen and Quo Vadis stood on their marks, and the favourite, who lost several lengths, was in front after going a furlong and a half, but then his sulky broke nnd Slump took charge. At the ond of half a mile Quo Vadis ran to the front and led Slump and Miss Adonis for the next ' five furlongs. Then Miss Adonis fell. Lady Freeman fell over her, and Revolt lost several lengths. Going along the back Slump and Wee Spark were just in front of Quo Vadis, and at the far turn Revolt ran up ; into second place. Racing to the home turn Slump, on the rails, was just a little in ! front of Revolt, and in a great race to the post Slump maintained the advantage to win ■ by half a length. Wee Spark was twenty- | five lengths away third. . .

For the Winton Cup, Celerity 11. was sent out favourite, with Vaward second, the pair being about £2OO better backed than Bilbo or Taboo, who were also evenly backed. Schottisehe led Bilbo and Taboo past the stand, Vaward lying last, and there was littlo change over tho next half mile. Then Vaward closed up and Piton dropped right out of tho race. Rounding the top Taboo joined Schottischa and the pair led Bilbo and Celerity 11. into the straight. Then the English mare put in a good ruu and went on to win easily by two and a half lengths from Taboo, who beat Schottisehe by a neck, with Vaward a similar distance away fourth.

For the Winton Steeplechase Thistlecrown was heavily backed, with Hokioi and Osterman (the latter being very sore) the best backed of the others. Hokioi, Black Stag, and Captain Sarto showed the way for nearly a mile. Then Captain Sarto fell at the post and rails, and Greenstone moved up. Hokioi, Greenstone, and Thistlecrown were together crossing the double in front of the stand the last time, and at the sod wall Hokioi and Thistlecrown were well clear from Greenstone, who hit the next fence hard. Thistlecrown then left Hokioi and ran home an easy winner by ten lengths from Hokioi, with Cashman twenty-five lengths further back. Erue was sent out an odds-on chance in the Flying Handicap, carrying more than twice as many investments as tho lenientlyhandicapped Baldowa, Bright Mark, and the bracketed pair, Cassolette and Bugle Note, who were evenly backed. Frivol waa the first to show out, and led Erne and Cassolette along the back and round the far turn, where Bright Mark and paldowa closed up. Frivol led Cassolette, Baldowa, and Bright Mark into the straight, and at the distance post Baldowa challenged Frivol and beat him homo eaaily by a length. Bright Mark, who did not get a clear run in the straight, was three lengths away third.

For the Barkly Hack Handicap, Spean Bridge finished up a little better backed than Spearmaid and King Balboa., these three | being much better backed than Takaka a-nd Sparkling Eyes. From the rise of the barrier the favqurite showed out first, with Takoka and Jack o' Lantern next, and after going a furlong the latter led Divinal, Takaka, and Spean Bridge. This was the order to the home turn, whore Jack o* Lantern ran wide and Spean Bridge got a good run on the rails. At the distance post she was on terms with Jack o' Lantern, who finished under the judge's box, and got a head verdict from the judge. Takaka was two lengths away third. Thorndale was made a better favourite than Shady SDot in the Otapiri Saddle Trot, with Bed Abbey. Lady Zita. and Eiffel Tower th» best backed of the others. Cloverley, Lady Zita. and Baker Bov lost their chances at the stait." 1 After go'ing a furlong Thorndale led Princess Thorpe and Sunstorm past the stand. Then he gave way to Princess TJwrpe, Sunstorm, Ctesar, and Shadv Spot. Going into the back stretch C»sar ran to the front and led Shady Spot. Princess Thorpe, and the favourite round the far turn. Shady Spot dropped back rounding the top, " where Ctesar was five lengths clear of Princess Thorpe and TarndaJe. Caesar went on to win easily by six lengths from Tarndale, who beat Princess Thorpe by two lengths in the run home. Only four went to the post for the Trades, men's Handicap, and John Bradbury, who was having his first race for some months, was backed down to an odds-on price, with Queen Balboa the best backed of the others.

Queen Balboa led Bloom for five furlongs. Then the favourite ran into second place, but failed to reach Queen Balboa, who beat him by four lengths. Doleful Ditty was a length and a half away third.
