THE RACING WORLD

FORM AT HAWERA

Winners At LongIntervals

(By

The Watcher.)

The Egmout maiden winner. Water Hound, has the unusual distinction of reaching the age of live years and having had only one previous start, as a two-year-old' in April, 1940, bo it was not surprising that he caught backers unawares. Water Hound is by Hunting Song from Rippling Waters, and was bred by his owner, Mr. H. D. Matthews. He belongs to a well-known and successful family, Rippling Waters being by Chief Ruler from Boynette, by Kilbroney—The Boyne, by Merriwee —The Shannon, by Torpedo. Derby Hope. t Hall Stand, the winner of the Hobartvllle Stakes, an A..T.C. Derby prospect, is a chestnut colt by Hall Mark from Trasina, by Woorak—Rosina, by The Welkin—Seville, by Wallace—Andalusite, by Orme. Hall -Standi is an early foal, August 21, and as he was not over-raced last season, six races for two wins and three seconds, he has apparently developed well for his three-year-old racl ”s- , ne was bred at Tarwyn Park Stud, Widden, New South 'Wales, by Mr. Herbert Thompson.

V< Voltaire should be included In the field for the Wanganui Guineas. I>;ick to Form. , Deolali’e first racing day for nearly 12 months saw her improve with a raee to win the concluding event later In the afternoon on Saturday. This is fairly convincing evidence that Deolali -has made a good recovery from her injuries, and she should go on to better things as the season advances.

Not Good Enough. Minority disappointed an army of supporters when he could do no better than third at Hawera on Saturday. On his form at the Grand National meeting he looked a considerably better wager than he proved. It Is 12 months since Minority won a race, bo he is well overdue.

Has Improved. ~ , , „ . Sanction, winner of the principal fiat race at the Combined Hunts* meeting, affords an Instance of how a course of hurdling will improve a horse. Sanction was having her first start of the new season At her last appearance she had run third in the hack hurdle race on the second day of the Wellington winter meeting. Her last previous success was in the Hack. Cup at Marton at New Year.

Overdue. , . , Another win that did not come out of turn was that of Noble Fox. His last success was at Poverty Bay nearly 12 months ago. though he had run prominently on two or three later occasions. Stayers and Sprinters. . With reference to the ability of some horses to compete successfully in long-dis-tance races and also in sprints, Mr. A, M. Manson, Palmerston North, frites:— If my memory serves me right I think Vogengang won the Wellington Cup and the big Flying Handicap on the same day on the old Hutt Park course. It was in 1894. You will no doubt be able to look up the records to confirm this. ’ Mr. Manson has a good memory. It was in 1894 on the old Hutt course that Vogengang, Mr. 1. Sheehan’s four-year-old chestnut horse, won the double of the Wellington Cup and Telegraph. He carried 7.10 (inc. 31b. over) in the Cup, and was penalized 71b. for the sprint, in which he had to carry 8.0. He was ridden in both races by R. Derrett.

Solid Youngster. C. C. McCarthy has a two-year-old bay colt by St. Boswells from Bun Fight training on satisfactorily. The youngster lacks nothing on the score of size and is quiet. Bun Fight was a Stonyhurst-bred mare by Winning Hit from Scrimmage, dam of good winners In Fracas and Trench Hr, nt. The .St. Boswells colt was a Trentham purchase at 300gns„ and will carry the colours of the Auckland sportsman. Mr. M. J. Moodabe, who has done well with Whackte in recent months.

Avondale GuipwiH. The following remain in the Avo u fla! ® Guineas, which is to be run on 12, after the declaration of forfeit.—A VON DALE GUINEAS, of Sti' olds; colts and geldings. S.l°; fl «?. 8-£ One mile.—Voltaire. Astute Hullabaloo, Solver, Sunblaze. Representative. Elect Oruru, Killfast, Master Gain. Nizam, Rojal View, Bonny Pay, The Pied Piper, Toastmaster. Beau Vaals, 8.10; Miss Cardine, Coronls filly. Foreign Princess. Gold Quest, Hilton Gorse filly, Miss Chippie. Bright Eagle, Sidestar filly. Gentry. 8.5..

English Sales. , . Remarkably high prices were realized for bloodstock at the Newmarket. July sales. The American millionaire, Marshall Field, sold his entire stud. Four of his mares, believed to be in foal, sold for 13.800 guineas. They included Infrared, served by Nearco, for 5000 guineas; Vlnvenzia, with a colt by Fairway, for 3000 gns.; and Embuche, served by Bole. Roussel, for 2300gn«. The Aga Khan, who sold most of his horses early in the war, reappeared. through agents, as a buyer, and secured Diala, served by Bois Roussel, for 4200gn5.; Eclair, served by Hyperion, for 3500gns’; and a three-year-old, unnamed fillv by Fairway from Eclair, for AoOO gns. Because of a ban preventing horses travelling more than 45 miles, which will come into force on September 25. two of the most popular handicaps in Britain s racing season, the Cesarewltch, and the Cambridgeshire, will not be held this year. This Is the first break in the continuity of the Cesarewitch and the Cambridgeshire since they were cancelled In 1920, owing to a coal strike)

To Be Schooled. St. Cloud has not raced up to expectations for some time, and is to be tried out as a hurdler. She won three races last season and had *>ix minor placinss Id -! other starts, while this season she failed in two races at Riccarton after running third in the Brabazon Handicap at the Christchurch Hunt meeting.
