NOTES AND COMMENTS

Eudorus, who won the Futurity Stakes at the V.A.T.C. meeting on Saturday, is an English-bred horse y Torfarshiro— Pennywise, and is owned by Messrs Clarke and Robinson. iie accounted for some races at Home before being imported to Australia, and he is described as a brilliant colt. His time, Imin 27isee, is equal to that established by Elairgour, who won the event in 1911. Ashby, who was third in the Pace Welter at the Warwick Farm races on Saturday, was just beaten by Webunble in the Flying Handicap at the Canterbury Park races on February Bth. Mr L, C. Hazlett has a two-year-old sister to Sister Radius that has not carried silk yet. Medallist, after winning the Apprentices’ Plato on the second day of the D.J.C. meeting, was bqught in for £76. On Saturday ho won the Wingatui Handicap of 150 sots, bo that he was well worth acquiring. Brown Owl ran well in the Dunedin Cup for a mile and a quarter, and finished fourth. She did not start on the second day, hut on Saturday she won the D.J.C. Handicap. She is fay Treadmill—Glenowlet, and is one of the Chokebore Lodge team. Waimangu, who went amiss just prior to the Auckland Cup, is doing steady • exercise under the care of George Absolum at Auckland. So far he has not shown any signs of tmsoimdnesa, and there is every reason to expect the son of Soult to be among the starters at no distant date. Allegory arrived at Auckland from Gisborne recently, showing signs, that his exertions at the Poverty Bay and Gisborne Racing Club’s meeting had discovered a Weak place in his anatomy. From the way he walked along after being landed it would appear as if it would be some time ere he would be able to be put into work again. Antarctio has been placed in commission again at Wanganui, and all going well will be on hand when the big winter jumping events are under discussion. The four-year-old Amisdale, by Malster—Dolores, for whom Mr K. S. McLeod paid 1200 guineas as a yearling, won his first race this month. This was the Maiden Plate_ at the Newnham Racing Club’s meeting, Tasmania. At the time Mr McLeod bought Arnisdale he also gave 1100 guineas for Sconser, who, as a two-year-old, won the Ascotvale Stakes of £1172, but has since been a failure. High-priced . youngsters of the 1910 sales also include Lithosian, Malthas, Malt Blossom, Maltee, Bquador, and Maltfield, none of whom have particularly distinguished themselves. Of the four-figure lot disposed of on that particular occasion, Cisco and Jacamar have done best. The Clanranald —Golden Crest gelding Golden Cairn, who has been racing for several years round Melbourne, appears to bav© take a fresh lease of life. At Aspendale Park this month ho won the Jumpers’ Flat Handicap, and a week laterj at Sandown Park, he was successful in the Welter Handicap.
