CHIDE

HIS FUTURE PROGRAMME. ' ; f J < /V MAY RACKIN' AUSTRALIA. 1 ' ' ml; ■ i•; ' nor . > ' . rrnnO i:• ... ,j t - ; . ■■" Chide, the brilliant galloper,”whose ina'me was on, dips during Cjiriiival Week, will remain in New Zealand ‘for the summer, racing season, hut it is likely that lie. will go to Austral,ia in the autumn in 'quest' of the big stake moneys offering .there. It is well known that an offer of £BOOO lor Chide was refused by his owner before the Riecarton meeting, and Air G. Alurray-Aynsley stated yesterday that the Riecarton’ triple cupwinner cquhi not. be .purheased for £IO,OOO liow. He lias not had an offer since the, racing at Riccai;tpn, and lias no. .to dispose of .the horse.

“It is not oftpii. than you get ( ngood hdrsfe like Chide,” said Air Alurray Aynsley, “ajifl jylj.en yoiy do, .you want to hang on tp jpiii. 'Lhide can win, a great deal ip. New and the offer will takedym ( - from me must he one that wll make it less remunerative ,jlpy),me to keop.jj, ; • . “I have not formed any plans for his future yet, but the autumn, stakes in- Australia are attractive, ; .r Chide should do well over there.”

Chicle’s performance in . winning the New Zealand Clip, 'the Canterbury Cup and the Stead Gold Cup all at one meeting stands as a brilliant and unique record in the history of racing at Riecarton..

■ Sasanof, Air Alurray Aynslcy states is the only, other horse.to have brought off the triple coup, but bis wins were at different- -meetings. The owner is naturally, proud ofiliis horse’s performance mi , having bred and trained Chide, is eir.ii.v.d to all credit arising j'ra.ii tile outstanding. feat of the 1929 • Crruival, .Week;- . (’hide's: ti'iine' victory is.-attri.hntd by Jiis owner to iirilliance, staying power and a beautiful temper. “Any- jockey could ride Chide,” said Air •. Murray Aynsley. “1 have never had a horse ■that was so even tempered or lighthearted as this fellow. He never takes an ouncie out- of himself. He does everything easily, and was ant in the least distressed after any one of liis races at Riecarton last week. “He has never been hit with the whip, but be has to be t-i own the whip towards the finish of •• race. He has got one fault, and that is of wanting to stop as soon as he has passed the other horses. He is not a quitter, but lie likes company. He thinks be should pull up and wait for tnein, and unless the whip was waved over him lie would stop in a stride after passing the field. He is light-hearted and bill lin irt. If you want him to hack-canter lie will hack-canter; if you want him to gallop lie will gallop,' but there is always a preference to hack-canter with Chide.” Chide is four years old, and only this season has come into real prominence. This, liis owner states, is <1 no to the fact that in previous years Chide lias iiot been able to be trained. “Always when I was gett ng him ready in other seasons,” Air AlurrayAynsley said, “he would do himself a slight injury in some playful prank. He would wrench-a muscle or get into a fence, and hurt himself that way. This season, however, he has been lucky, and T have been able to prepare him for racing.”,
