SPORTING
TURF GOSSIP Important Sale Amorlad, who capped a succession of wins i.. the Southland district by his meritorious success at Wlngatul last Saturday, has been sold by Mr G. C. Clearwater to a Christchurch owner at a substantial figure, and will in future be trained at Riccarton by F. Christmas, who will take delivery of him at Wingatui next Saturday. Amorlad is a four-year-tielding by Philamor from Scarlet Lady,, by Balboa from Red Pal, by Pallas from Redstart, by Casket, and was bred by Dr. J. E. Rogers, of Invercargill, who sold him to Mr Clearwater as a young horse. Philamor has not been a great success as a sire in New Zealand, although he .has had some good winners m Australia, while Scarlet Lady has not done much to recommend her, but there is no doubt about Amorlad’s class. He is not to race at Wingatui next Saturday, and will probably have his first racing for his new owner at Trentham next month. A Profitable Investment The death of Mr E. Gates recalls an Interesting incident in his career as an owner of racehorses. He had Lady Lilian engaged in both the Great Easter and Great Autumn Handicaps in 1903, and ilthough the only horse to win the two races previously had been Lady Zetland, dam of Lady Lilian, Mr Gates showed confidence in the prospects of Lady Lilian's emulating the performance by supporting her at 100 to 1 to the extent of £IO,OOO. A few days before the race his trainer suggested that the hardest horse to beat in the Great Easter Handicap was Cannle Chiel, aijd Mr Gates at once invested sufficient on the Cannie Chiel-Lady Lilian double to win him £SOOO, The advice was substantially correct. rs Lady Lilian (ridden by H, Donovan) was all out to beat Cannie Chiel, the pair being several lengths in front of the remainder of the field. Lady Lilian (ridden by C. Jenkins) won the Great Autumn Handicap, and the next day Mr Gates received by post a cheque tor £IO,OOO from his bookmakers, a widelyknown Christchurch firm of that period. Mr Gates often related this transaction as indicating the large sums wagered m bygone years, when bookmakers we;".* licensed, and the promptiude in settling all wagers regardless of the amount. Successful Combination Although luck was on the side of Gay Boa when he won the Otago Steeplechase last week, his win was well deserved, as he has raced fairly cosistently, collecting in all close on £9OO in stakes since he was put over country He is owned by Mr W. McCarthy, of Southland, who has raced other useful jumpers in that province, and is trained at Washdyke by E. J. Ellis, Fairy Bard, winner of the concluding event, is also trained by Ellis for Mr McCarthy, so that the combination had " very profitable day, Fairy Bard is by Nigger Minstrel from Fairy Dart, by Last Dart from Fairy Ring, by Elysian, and is likely soon to reach much better classs. Out of Action Conflagration was withdrawn from all engagements at the Auckland meeting. Red Falcon and several others who looked likely to take a prominent part in steeplechasing this winter have also had setbacks, While that is unfortunate, there is still a wide and attractive field of steeplechasers at Ellerslie to make things Interesting. American Racing A Press Association cablegram states that Bing Crosby’s Donbingo won the 30,000-dollar Suburban .Handicap at Belmont Park, beating Attention by six lengths Lochinvar was third. Last year’s winner, Marketwise, ran second, but was disqualified.
TROTTING NOTES
Answer to Correspondent Subscriber, Ashburton—There is no set penalty. The handicapper is allowed to use his discretion. Omitted from List In the list of acceptances published for the Ashburton Trotting Club's meeting, to be held on Monday, the name of Scottish Emperor was omitted from the New Zealand Sapling Stakes. The U. Scott two-year-old will be a starter and is one of the favourites for the race. Springfield Globe Springfield Globe, who was at the stud earlier in the season, started twice at the Easter meeting at Addington, and while he was short of work he should be improved by the racing. His next appearance will be in the All Aged Stakes at Ashburton on Monday, and back to his best form he would be seriously considered. Last season Springfield Globe proved himself one of the best .racehorses in New Zealand, and winning four races and being placed several times he JSBW £2llß in stakes. "A Good Field Bronze Eagle has not' shown his true form lor a long time, and a win is overdue. In the All Aged Stakes, Bronze Eagle is set to meet on even terms pacers that have proved themselves,' and not the least in the . way of quality may be the Methven trio, Countless, Battle Colours, and Loyal Key. Kid Wolf, too, is a prospect, and in his three last starts he has won convincingly. He is at home on a grass track.
