ENGLISH RACING. another trainek warned OFF. U'HOil 053 own CORRESPONDENT.) LONDON, October 17. Another raeeliorso trainer —tho third in a month —was to-day warned off the Turf bv the stewards of the Jockey Club, for an alleged oifenco against the rulo on doping. He is W. J. Gale, an owner-trainer of Lewes, Sussex, and the action of the stewards follows _ theninvestigation into the alleged doping of tha horse Tyrauo, made after a race at Ayr on September 19th. The previous two cases were the warning off of P. Tuylor, of Doneaster, on September 10th, and of Charles Chapman, of Lavant, recently. The Test. Tyrauo, in fact, has never won a race for Mr Gale. And Mr Gale, who did not take out a trainer's license until this season, has never won a race with any horse. Messrs Weatherby's issued the following statement this afternoon: ■ "The acting-stewards of tho Ayr September Meeting met on October 7tli to receive tho result of the examination which they had ordered be mado of Tyrano after running in the Buchanan Selling Handicap, having interviewed Mr W. J. Gale, the trainer and owner of the horse, they referred tho case to the stewards of the Jockey Club.

"Tho stewards of tho Jockey Club met on October 7th, and, after further investigation, satisfied themselves that a drug had been administered to the horso for tho purposo of the raco in quostion. "They disqualified the horse from running agjiin under their rules, and warned Mr W. J. Galo oft' Newmarket Heath.''

The race concerned, the Buchanan Soiling Handicap, was tho first on tho card. Samples of tho saliva of several of tho horses were taken after tho race, including that of Gratuitous, the winner, ar.d Wee-Pei-fu, owned by Lord Lonsdale, which ran third. Tyrano was fourth, ridden by Elliott, having started at 6 to I. Former Head Z>ad. W. J. Galo, though little known to the general public,'' is a man of vast racing experience, and has been a familiar figure in racing circles for many years. He was head lad to tho late Herbert Lines, a moßt. prolific trainer of winners, for over twenty years while Lines had stables at East Clandon, and, later, at Newmarket, Mr Gale was then popularly known as "Sloper." He was afterwards employed by B. W. Colling as travelling head lad.

Before moving to his Lowes quarters a few months ago he trained at Exning, near Newmarket, but not actually on the Ileatb, as his license did not. give him that permission. He bought Tyrano for 350 guineas and Sleepy Lad for ' 420 guineas at the Newmarket Bales last October, both having been owned by Lady Ludlow, and with Tho Stalkor and I'm Funny That Way, moved to Lewes. Tyrano is a four-yoar-old by Phalaris —Mariana. Tho horse lias run in seven races this year, being second onee and third twice. Its previous outing wna at Hurst Park on August 22nd, when it was ridden by Wing, and finished fourth to Blue Line. A fortnight ago it wag announced that Tyrano and I'm Funny That Way had left Gale's stables for other quarters. The stewards of the Jockey Club began their campaign against doping in tho spring of this year, after rumours had become too widespread to be ignored. Previous to the first warningoff, that of Taylor, no trainer had ever been warned off for this offence. STARTING AT COUNTHY MEETINGS. iO i Ilk LDLTuIt OF '! ilfl Sir,—l was pleased to notice in your paper yesterday that all trainers at Riccarlon had signed a petition to the C.J.C. committee asking that Mr Mc~ Nab be allowed to start lor country meetings in Canterbury where required. This is a high compliment to Mr McXab as a starter, coming from Hit! trailers, for no one i« better ijualif;cd to judge his ability. The starting at lilt* hi,-:fc Metropolitan Meeting was in every instance excellent. Mr McNab showed great patience and masterful ability, which were freely commented upon generally. As an owner, I have great pleasure in supporting the petition to tho O.J.C. committee.. I feel also that the country clubs will Ik? glad to have the opportunity of enjoying .Mr MoNab's services. Trusting that the petition will receive the favourable consideration which is so generally desired.'—Yours, etc., T. C\ ROBINSON,. Mount Palm. Nov. 26th, 1930.

TRENTHAM NOTES. PREPARING FOR FEILDING. 1 THE PRESS Special Service. I WLLLINGTON, November 20. The Trentham tracks were in good order for galloping tins morning, but apart from the work of horses engaged •u JTeilding, there was not much doing". The main topic was the sudden death of "Tim" Duly, which was a big shock to the community. Malayan and Open Cheque, who raced at Levin on Saturday, were let off with easy tasks. They are both engaged at Feilding. Marioram worked <<" the tan and then sprinted three furlongs on the grass. Uo will not race until the Christmas meetings. Arikinui and First Money sprinted three furlongs in 37sec, both doing t well. Arikinui, whoso form lately has been below par, will accompany his mate to Pending. Pirst Money looks none tho worst) for his Levin effort.

Concentrate and Dolomite ran seven furlongs in Iniin 3osee. Concentrate has Dirown off all his recent soreness, and looks a picture of solid condition. 11. Lorigan will have horses at. Auckland and Manawatu at Christmas. Historic did pace work on the tan. His holiday programme is undecided, but ho will probably be at Auckland. Lady Pam finished well clear of Sir Limond over a mile in Jmin 49 3-ssec. The lirst half took s(i 3-ssec, and she came home in Msec, doing it well. She will race next in the Feilding Cup.

St. Roger was well (eatod against Gesture over half a mile in h osec. Gesturo was doing it hotter, but it «as an excellent effort for tho two-year-old. He will probably havo his first start in the Orona Nursery on the second day at Feilding. Half-Brother to Oratm.

Oratorian was going better than Oral over throe furlongs in 37sec. Oratorian, who is the half-brother by Hunting Song to Oratrix and Concentrate, for whom -Air R. J. Murphy gave IMOOgna at the last Trentham sales, has eonio on nicely, and all going well will make the trip to Fllerslio for the Great Northern Foal Stakes.

The four-year-old gelding General Assembly (Paper Money—Lady Violot) has been sold out of H. Lorigan's stable, the purchaser being Mr P. C. Webb. General Assembly, who is still a maiden, went down on Monday night to join Sapiont and the other membors of Mr Webb's string at Iticcarton. The four-year-old mare Valquette (Valkyrian —Fabrinuetto), until recently trained at Petone, has joined A. Goodman's stable. Following upon the death of 'J. J. Daly, Mr W. R. Kemball's team are in tho meantime under the care of W. MoConkev. Back from Australia. 10. J. Murtagh arrived back from Sydney by the Ulimaroa to-day with Rational 11. and Rasouli, both horses lauding in good order. Neither did well on the trip, and their form in Melbourne, and later in Sydney, was not good enough to get any money. They ran 011 Tuesday of last week at Munangle, and although it was intended that they should remain and compete at other meetings this month, their form was so much below expectations that plans were altered, and they were Bhipped home. Thev will be physicked and rested for a few days prior to resuming work, with a view to competing at the Manawatu Summer Mooting. The Australian jockey, H. Bennett, who brought Conjuror 11. to New Zealand last voar and looked after him for Mr Boyle while hore, also riding him in the only race he ran in New Zealand, returned on the Ulimaroa with E. J. Murtagh. lie has gone up to Levin, where ho will again look after Conjuror, and will also school Panther, was purchased by Mr Boyle early in the spring. The two-year-old bay gelding by Acre from Gladiolc in 11. B. Lorigan's team at Trentham has been named Waratah. lie iB a lialf-brother to Orchid, and is not being hurried. Eoi do Val is schooling over hurdlos at Trentham, and will be taken to Woodville for the jumping events. H, Kingan will also take the two-year-old filly Lady Noel to run in tho Nursery Handicaps. She is by Laekham from Lady Kotiripo. A three-year-old chestnut gelding by Laekham from Eewa is the latest addition to Kingan's team. Mr H. J. Stanbridge, of Wellington, who won the A.J.C. Breeders' Plato with Movie Star, and also scored at Flemington with Hunt tho Slipper, returned home bv the Ulimaroa.

"N.Z. REFEREE."

TAKAPUNA AND FEILDINC PROSPECTS.

The racing schedule will be continued this week at Takapuna and Feilding, and the current issue of the "Now Zealand Referee" will aid the public in their search for winners at both those Meetings. With only a few mora weeks to go until Christmas lacing iti now l>eing followed with deep interest in view of tho big holiday Meetings and tho writings of tho "Referee'' Turf experts from every province where horses are trained should be of great value and assistance to those who are planning a round of the holiday fixtures. The racing last week at Levin Ims a direct bearing on Feilding on Saturday and Monday, while down south tho review of form at Winton is helpful to those who have an eye to the immediate future. Prominent in tho trotting section fit the "Referee" is the Auckland Trotting Chili's Meeting in story and picture, while accounts of the horses at tho stud and in work at the Mardella Stud and J. Paul's establishing t, both in the Auckland district, indicate the substantial footing which trotting is on in the north. Episodes in tho life of "Torpedo" Billy Murphy, cricket from all the centres, and the work of tho New Zealand Tennis Council are featured in the general sporting section of tho paper.
