TRENTHAM RACES.

WINTER MEETING.

RACING IN HEAVY GOING,

WELLtNGTON STEEPLES.

CAPTAIN JINGLE'S EASY WIN

Sonic of. tho older trainers present al the Wellington Racing Club's whitei meeting' never remember the going hear ier on n metropolitan course tlmti- it wn; for tho opening.day's racing at Trenthan yesterday. The .younger men have certainly never seen anything like it. • Soim idea, of what it was like can be gleam.* from the fact that tho times throughout the day were by. far the slowest ever rc corded on the course, while the Welling ton Steeplechase, sinco it .was ■instituted about 30, years ago, has only once tnlcei longer to run, namely, in Morag's yeariS99—at tho Hutt.. , The --'weather, which had been very bat for days, was not at till promis in : g yesterday morning, but nevorthelcs: a fairly, largo number of people journey-t-d.out frpm the city, and, considering ths conditions, the .attendance was by 11c means poor. It would have been bettei had. the'Wairarapa train service not been interfered with by .slip? on the line. Thost present-at .tli'o "meeting included Major- " General fiodley. and tho president.of tin ■ N?w Zealand; Racing Conference (Sir Geo. ' Clifford). ' ■ At .the course the rain hold off part of thei time,, and a liboial supply of hay, spread ■ round the enclosures, made the place as comfortable -as possible for the public, but it.was-still very slushy in parts.. . '-As' "previously "mentioned, (lie going on the racing -track was extremely, heavy. The.-fields, .though large, were not us strong as"they would have been,in flue weather, and the racing scarcely as in- . terestiirg.- -The- principal event, the Weiliiigton! Steeplccu'as'ey was .rather easily won by ; . Captiiin Jinjrle,_ wlio . recently pcored in the, Napier Steeplechase. In the Parliamentary Handicap a mild snrp'ise was ,caused by the succcss of Coronetted, while in the Winter Hurdles, the winner —White Cockade—was also a. comparative outsider. Only one actual favourite scor-ed-during the afternoon. . .. . Tptalisator investments during the (lay amounted to ,£12,851, 10?,, as, against .£16,69(5, for the opening day (a 'Saturday) 'last year;- - A 'good deal-of money was'shut otifc on the first' race club's "board for -the''names'-of 'jpck.ey.s was- very badly ' worked, -did riot-1 assist the machine-investments. It appears that the usual official.-in charge of the bojrd failed. ! to attend' yesterday* arid 'gave' the club no'notice.' The. secretary had' then at" the last minute to take-a man off the Kates arid station him at the board,' which really requires, an. expert to. handle it..' '■Results of'the races were' as -follow:—.

HQOFBEATS

FJIRM OF CAPTAIN JINGLE,

\iITS KTDEKS OPINION. In a field of fourteen, Slrujn' was made favourite for the Stewards' Handicap, and, but for commencing badly, lie would have taken a deal of beating. As it was lie finished very strongly, and beat" all but Mount Victoria. The. latter was always ,iii a nice'position, 1 and,''as soon ns tii» straight was reached, he camo on, and won easily. The Signalman -{elding has now won half-a-dozen raoes for Air. 11. Whitney. Yesterday's victory will necessitate his carrying 51b. penalty in the Winter Cup at Eiccarton, for which event lie promise* to lie, one of ..the fancied candidate?. La JReina, ivlio was second favourite on tho machine, was badly- left, as were Ngatiraimui and Xongstep. None of the three had a chance of success. Deploy, who made the early running, failed to stay out tho last furlong, and was lucky lo beat Ivilosteri for third'money, as the latter 'finished very well. I''or the Hack Steeplechase. Taiaha was backed as if the race were all over, while the other Auckland candidate. Armagh, was a good second favourite. Taiaha appeared to have tho raco at his mercy until about four furlongs from home, when Torbelle, who had been jumping badly, came on the sccne and easily beat the Auckland horse. Torbelle has plenty of pace, and is usually a good jumper, but yesterday he banged several of (lie fences, and landed badly after jumping others. At the second fence he was nearly down, and a. less experienced horseman than Porter- would surely have left Hie saddle. The jockey, however, made a. wonderful recovery, and. as subsequent events proved, his nerve was not in the least shaken. Te Pinh-ui, who fell early in the race, was badly injured, and had to be destroyed. Peary, the Ivaramu candidate in the Trial Plate, was made a better fnvourito than Ncirene, a two-year-old from the Higluleri stable. In past years, the Kar&mu stable has turned out numerous wiimors of this race, and, yesterday, l'eary again proved too good for the opt position. His victory will increase his weight for tho Winter Cup at Riccarton by 51b. Thero were but two late withdrawals from the Wellington Steeplechase—Black Northern and Paritutu. The absence of the latter robbed tho race of a good deal of, interest. Antarctic was sent to tho post, and though the opinion was widely expressed that this great 'chaser looked anything but well, ho ran a great rnce. and beat all but Captain .Tingle. Tho Salvadan gelding has certainly been very unlucky in the big races in which ho has competed. The favourites in yesterday's nice were Hautere and Compass, but neither completed the course. Compass came to grief when he appeared to l>o go-ing particularly well in the lead, and Hautare was later pulled up;" Three of the others fell, three nioie were pulled up, and only three ffere left to finish, Captain Jingle winning quite easily at the finish. Master Paul, who lost his rider at the first fence, continued the * journey, and looked like causing trouble , at the last couple of feuces, but the candidates left in the race ' managed to keep clear of him. It is interesting to . note that Captain Jingle led over the , first three fences, Zante the next three, [ and Captain' Jingle the following two. At the ninth fence Compass, Captnin .(ingle, and Zante' were practically ' abreast. f'oinnass led <,ver the t'ollowi ing two, and when he fell /.ante led over | the next six fences, and Captain Jingle , the final three. The latter's win has [ earned him the maximum penally in the i Grand National Steeplechase. ; Captain Jingle was'bred in I!KW by Mr. - FT. (raisford, who also bred the eelding's • dam, Jingle, a half-sister to Swimming i Belt. It was not until he was.four years, r old tha,t Captain Jingl« firit rawd, and , then he was only started oa«e t Tt\« fok.

lowing season he started five times in tlio colours ct' ill'. A. G. Sturm, but never won a race. .As a six-vear-old, lie started ill a dozen races and won three—two in the colours of Jlr. A. E. Grensido and one in the colours of his present owner, Jlr. .1. Ileunah. last season, after running second in a hack .steeplechase at Napier. lie came south, and competed unsuccessfully over the bis country .it Trenthani," but afterwards went mi to Uiecarlon, ami opened the new seas-n Uv vuuiuug socoud to hhtiu iu the Lufield Steeplechase, ami then winning tlio Beaufort Steeplechase on the second day. To these victories, he lias now added the Napier Steeplechase and the WellniKtou Steeplechase. Joseph O'Connell, who rode Captain Jinglo to victory in the Wellington Steeplechase, was coniident all along n the horse's ability to win, and would not listen to the suggestion that the lior.-.e was short of work. After tin) race, 0 COll- - Mated that, with the exception oi one fence (the lirnsh, the second tune) his horse jumped. perfectly throughout. . At no time was the jockey uneasy. Compass he regarded as his most lonmdabie opponent, by the time that the first round luul been completed, but, after the Hawera liorso fell at the stone-wall, everything was plain sailing. Captain Jingle (says O'Connell) had his mind on his work the whole way, while Compass was watching the other horses, and, apparently, did not properly see the fence which brought him down. O'Connell is very foiul of the winner, and savs that few people know how good he is'in heavy going. As io the horse's jumping, his jockey states that ho will be an old man before ever ho sits astride a better fencer. The Rover was made a strong favourite for the Parliamentary Handicap, Jtira and Sir Tristram being next in demand, but none of the three succeeded in running into a place; though 'Sir Tristram was running well at the end of a mile. The race' proved an easy task for C'orouotted, who is now trained by J. Coyle, at Bulls, and who was making his first appearance in Jlr. J. Jl'Kelvie's colours. Considering the chestnut gelding s recent victory in the Jumpers' Mat at Ellerslie, and his good form of two seasons ago, it was surprising that ho was not more heavily supported 011 the machine. The fact remains, however, that he was tlic biggest outsider to prevail during tile afternoon. Brown Trout was unfortunate in being squeezed out. at the' start, and for the first, conplo of furloiigs he was near the rear of the field. In the circumstances - lie did remarkably well to run into second place. His stablemate, Undecided, finished nearly last. Salute ran a great race, but being used to' racing at Ellerslie, she was scarcely at home 011 the left-handed going. Of the others Loch Jlaben, Sail Pluie, and Sea Queen shaped best. After the scratching-pen had been freely used in the Winter Hurdles, there were still left thirteen candidates to go to the' post." Goodwin Park, Master Theory,, Darby Paul, and 801 l in'were.: the popular fancies, but 110 number of the quartet returned .'his supporters a dividend. The race was. remarkable in tllo.manner 111 which The Native,: White Cockade, and Bollin kept fighting for the loading position; while the, pace, considering the heavy going, Mras really, fait. At the finish White Cockade .won comfortably enough. He dias been a. .very successful performer at Trentliam .and has previously won I at the' course both on the flat and over I fences. Bollin and The Native, after leading at different stages, tired in tjlio last quarter of a mile and it was left for Sandy Paul to fill second place. Goodwin Park y.'as prominent for the first half of the journey, but Darby Paul and Jftister Theory were disappointing though they were both finishing fairly well. There Was a big field for the last race in 'which • Ceylon was made a strong favourite. "--The fillv never looked, a likely winner, victory going ■to ■ the Fordelltrained Kilrain, wlio showed good form at the Otaki meeting last month. Diavolo, who lws been perfcTining very consistently lately, was a good second.
