HORSES FOR SYDNEY

AUTOPAY MAY GO AGAIN

GOLDEN HAIR INCLUDED

Several New Zealand h6rses are likely to be leaving on the Marama on Friday for Sydney to compete at the A.J.C. Easter Meeting, and among them is the recent Thompson Handicap and' Awapuni Cup winner, Autopay.

Autopay has be*n awarded 9.5 in the Dbncaster Handicap, and this is a weight that he has proved capable of handling. Hia joint owners, Messrs. N. E. Aitken and A. F. Wood, believe that the 9.9 he has been allotted in the C.J.C. Easter would just be beyond him, because he is not a big horse, though possessed of wonderful determination. They cannot, expect less in the A.K.C. Easter, the weights for which do not appear till next Monday. Moreover, if he ran at Ellerrtie a fresh horseman would have to be obtained for him, and that is a point that must be seriously considered, as there are only a few riders for whom he will produce his best.

Arrangements have also now been finally completed by Mr. A. F. Symes to ship La Moderne to Sydney on Friday. One of her races will probably be the A.J.C. St. Leger, in which her form should provide the first line between the merits of Peter Pan and Silver Scorn.

The Otaki owner-trainer, A. D. Webster, who was prevented by the Main Trunk dislocation from leaving Auckland for Sydney last week, has made arrangements also to leave by the Marama on Friday, and he will be taking his own two horses*, First Acre and Bayacre. The most important of the other departures will be the Manawato Sires' Produce Stakes winner, Golden Hair, whose owner (Mr. G. F. Moore) has decided to eend her across in search of some of the rich autumn stakes to be won in Sydney. She will go in charge of her trainer, O. Cox. She is) engaged in the A.J.C. Sires' Produce Stakes, 3000 bovs added, and in the A.J.C. Champagne Stakes, 1500 sovs added. Penalties attach to the Champagne Stakes, but she escapes as she has not woii a race rich enough to come under the penalty clause.

By the Wanganella, leaving; Auckland also on Friday, R. J. Miller will be sending over from Takanini three more horses to J. T. Jamieson. They are two three-year-olds, Tironui (black gelding by Magpie— Linquair) and Gigolo (bay colt by Spearhead—Gigolette), and a two-year-old, an unnamed bay filly by Grand Knight from the Australian-bred Grey Monk mare Sylvanum.

Tironui will be remembered as the horse who had a couple of rac.a at Takapnna recently, when he carried upwards of a stone overweight yet finished close behind the placed horses. He was one of Jamieson's own purchases at the Sydney sales two years ago, being obtained for 90 guineas. Gigolo was purchased at the same time for 325 guineas, and, racing in the colours of Mr. H. E. "Vail, he had five starts in Victoria last season, running a third at'Caulfield at his final appearance.
