Weights for the first (lay's events at the ( Miramar pony races are doe on or before neit Saturday.' / Some followora of pony racing have been wondering why 'Ora Pinscnt was not entered , for the Maiden Handicap. The Merrmce maie won a scurry at the lost Waipawa meeting. v The Rangitikei * Racing Club have received large nominations' for their spring meeting, and the fixture looks like Doing a very successful oneT' f ' l i A. Oliver was going over to Sydney by next Friday's boat, but he now, finds it impossible to get away until after the Marton meeting.

' before noon on the day of the laces. '\J u v ' ' A"mbrosian, who is engaged in tho maiden races at Marton, is eaul to have'turned out a good threc-)«nr-old ' She started five times lost season without winning, hut ought to pa) her way this vear., She is a half-sister to tho Wanganui Guineas, winner, ,Bunjan. Lasti year Roosevelt competed in no fewer than 33 races,'and it will be no surprise if this season he ,does not run so consistently. One thing that will stand to him, houevei, js the fact that he was in first-class condition on every occasion that he sported silk as a three-year-old. , J. Cameron,, who is best known' a ,, Awa- , hun's jockey, has taken stablea at Feilding, and starts as a trainer sext'month. Recently Cameron has been filling the position of head dad ,in H. Jackson's stable, but has now . decided to train on his own account. Mention of him recalls the fact that he/won the first hurdlo race run on the Feilding iacecourso. Two events that will shortly claim the attention of oivnera'are'the Wanganui Guineas of 1910 for three-year-olds (present two-vear- , olds), and the Jackson Stakes of 1911 for two-"year-olds and upwards, vveight-for-age Considerable increases have been made in the prize money attaching races Entries for both close on Triday, September 3, with the , secretary of the Wanganui Jockey Club. New Zealand sportsmen, who were present at - the Australian Jockey Club's autumn meeting, woro veTy favomably impressed with the two-year-old Prince Foote, winner of the Sires' Produce Stakes. Eutercd for the Metropolitan Handicap, Caulfield Cup, and Melbourne Cup, Princo Foote has been assessed right up to weight-for-age, and he appeals to be regarded ' all round as the 1 most promising of the Aui tralian three-year-olds. His two-jear-old record bhows that he started four times, winning i once, and being placed on two other occasions. v Prince Footo is stoutly* bred, being by Sir rFoote from Potrusphka,, ,by Isinglass from y Pet of the Ohaso, by Peter from-Diana, by \ > Galopin from . Fair, Rosamond, and good judges expect him to prove a stayer. " " RANGITIKfeI'J.C NOMINATIONS.
