THE TURF

NOTES AND COMMENTS. 1 :'. ... .____'; ■ a , LBy Glencob.i It should not. be necessary to remind owners that Friday. is ' general entry day for the C.J.C. Winter Meeting, and that acceptances for' the three big . events are due at thy same : time. "■' The next big meeting on the' English Turf is the Goodwood fixture, which commences next Tuesday. ; . . ,-i A southern writer says: "No horso at Riccarton is in better fettle at tho present time than the Grand National Hurdles, candidate, Kilmeny." Denise Ormo is again m work at Wanganui'after a good spell at Bushy Park stud. She appears none the worse : for her experience in the big fire at iEllorslie at. New Year time.; Grown Pearl was scratched for the (Winter Cup at 1.15 p.m. on Monday, and Bluestono was -withdrawn from the ~iace at 3.30 p.m. on the same day. \ There is a rumour abroad to the ef'fect that all is not well with the Otago horse Clynelish, who is a fancied candidate for the' Winter Cup. It is said that he has been showing signs'of lameness; When he raced at the 'winter meeting of the Dunedin Jockey Club he - had an--. enlarged fetlock joint, • which , Hid riot add to his. beauty,' though he' moved'quite soundly on it. , A novel argument for more totalisa%or permits was ', advanced by a prominent member of', the, Cheviot Racing Club at the annual meeting on Saturday. Ho said they wanted all the lace meetings they, could 'get, the more .the better; with the number of motorcars that were getting about the only .way to keep up the price 'of chaff was . Ito breed racehorses.. -. •- -■; • The scratching of Crowli Pearl for tho Winter Cup came as a surprise, for, though the Coronet gelding-has never won a mile race, ho has atHimes 'done well in seven furlong races, and there'-should be no difficulty - in ■■ getting : him to; go an extra furlong: According to latest advices, R. J. jtlason: is'having a good deal or trouble ; with Oherubini, who: was ?on the idle •list for some time after his arrival at •Randwick...Of the other members of > Mason's team, Valhalla, Binieter, and Camulus are going on all right. ■'•■• The New bred Golden Rock, }>y Gold' Reef—Edith Cureton, won the .-' Gooparl Welter on- the second day of the V.R.'C; meeting., He' was followed home by another from these shores iri Danube's half-sister, Onega. During the progress of the racing at Trentham- on Saturdav, J. W. Lowe "spurted the Danube--Mistim© colt, the \Downshire—Seauin colt, and, the Hier- ' arch—Peace filly over two furlongs. The first-named, a neatly turned ponifed youngster, was,6een to most advantage, but- the Downshire ~colt. also performed pleasingly; The Peace filly Was cut off at'the start and ran in the • rear the whole way. ' ■ The Trentham trained Mount Vic■fcria and Charlerose are to fulfil their engagements in the Winter Clip The former-will be ridden by S. Reid, so /that a .new horseman will have to be found for Try Fluke. ' • The light-weight jockey, A. Reed, has heen retained to do the riding of J. W. Lowe's team during the. coming Eeason. - The latest English 'files to: hand show that tho Australian jockeys, W. and E. Huxley, rode the first and second horses , m the-Oaks, Tun. on.May. 29. >•'■'■...■:■ ■ Gondolier has got oyer, his soreness iand is again in work at Wanganui under A. Hall.
