NOTES AND COMMENTS.

[By Glencoe.] Alrcadv preparations are afoot in several training establishments for a trip to lfandwick in the spring, and (he latest stable reported as likely to be represented is that of R. O'Donnell, of Riccarton. Of course, tho sheet-anchor of his stable is Los Angeles, and the chestnut wilL be nominated in the Epsom and Metropolitan Handicaps. It really seems now as if the right time for shipping the Cup winner has passed, for his form ik now well disclosed, and he will get his full share of weight in handicap cvenls. On the other hand, had he been sent over last spring, when ho was quite as good n horse as ho is ever likely to lw again, the probabilities are that, he would have, got into the Epsom Handicap with something like 7st. 71b., and, in tho Metropolitan Handicap with a similar weight With such an easy impost he would probably have made conquest in both races, but now, if he is to win at all, it will be in a weight-for-age evcut. The Martian—AHegreaso two-year-old, which Mr. G. D. Grei-nwooJ gayo KOUgns. for at the Waikane sale in 1910, has m> far failed to show any galloping ability, and, as a last resource, he has been, gelded, and will not be tried again until th<s spring. The horses trained by I!. J. Mason, H. Cults, and J. Pranks, which were racing at the Hawke's Bay meeting, are being brought to Wellington this evening, anil will bo shipped south by the Maori. Tho running of Perceler and Axis In the hack sprint event at Hastings on Saturday proves that tho form of tho pair on the first day was no chance thing. A noticeable fact in connection with English racing is that while several winners of the One Thousand have also annexed the Oaks and the St. l/eger, not one has yet been successful in the Derby. News from Sydney states that tho Sir Laddo—Orchestra colt, which Messrs. Whitworth acquired in New Zealand two seasons ago, is showing great promise, and a successful career is anticipated for him. The colt is a half-brother to The Corner, who has lately been showing winning form in the south. S. Beid has been asked to go to Oamaru to ride for the southern trainer, It. M Donald, who has (amongst other horres) Penates and Obsono engaged at the forthcoming meeting on May 24 and 25. The Wellington sportsman, Mr. H. Whitney, who generally patronises the Otngo meetings at this .time of tho year, will bo represented at Oamaru and Dunediu by Whatakura and Alntapai. Tho little black colt, Turna, is also nominated, but it is unlikely that he will make the trip. When Routine won the Ashburton Cup for Mr. J. A. Maeka.y, of Southland, last week, it was thu first race won by one of ..Mr. MacJray'siliMSsi fpr iwperjod extending over" about"three years. Weights for tho. hack events on tho first day of the Wanganui Jockey Club's meeting are due on Friday next. Accept; ances. close on the following Monday. The dam oit Mr. James Hamilton, junr.'s, fast and consistent mare Bcllflower was a few years ago known all over Southland . as, one of the fastest road and long-journey harness horses ever seen there. For many years she was driven by Mr. "Jack" Affleck when, representing the MasseyHarris Co. in 'Southland, and for a journey was easily the best of her time. — Southland Times." Tho Egmont Racing Club's meeting takes place at Hawera on Wednesday and Thursday next. On Wednesday the committee of tho Wairarapa Hunt Club will meet for tho purpose of drawing up the programme, and arranging the date of the club's race meeting. Honest Tom, who showed good form in the steeplechases at the Grand National meeting at Hiccartou last August, is being prepared for the cross-country events at tho Duncdin Jockey Club's meeting. Tho acceptances received for the Great Northern Hurdles and Great Northern Steeplechase are distinctly good. The meeting of Paisano and Wiinmera in tho first-mentioned race will be looked forward to with great interest. As Bed Lupin, Jack Dekval, and Mighty Atom have all paid up for tho pony race at the Takapuna Jockey Club's meeting, the meeting of the three seems assured. All have shown good form in their recent essays, and there should bo brisk speculation on the event. FIXTURES. May 17 and 18—Egmont R.C. Winter. May 20 and 24—Takapuna J.C. Winter.
