South Auckland Scratches

(From "N.Z. Truth's" South Auckland Rep.) MANGANI has been given away by his Gordonton owner. * # * M. J. Carroll, the trainer of Paganelli, denies "Truth's" statement that Paganelli had to be thrown to get his molars attended to. He affirms that the Lord Quex gelding takes his dental treatment without any fuss. '.*...■'# * • King Lv is not looked upon this way as any certain starter m the Winter Cup. *'• ■ * It is stated that no further effort will be made to train King' Merv. The Quin Abbey 'gelding would have been a "top holer" but for going- wrong m the win.d.. *. # • Wiltshire is to have his Grand National engagement kept. Ho has been jumping well at Te Rapa, although his fencing has not been free from errors. Trainer Syme- -will ride the Day Comet chestnut. * * # Prodice is hitting out steadily on the tracks at Te Awamutu. The daughter of Catmint ' and Hyades will be well advanced when the spring racing comes round. * . « # Paganelli and Macroom have been physicked prior to their new season's preparation being started on m earnest. Some interest is being taken m the racing career of a brother to . The Begum, both of , which are In Bill Stone's team at Te Awamutu. **. ■ * The male descendant of Chief Ruler and Lucella is a. viery attractive rising two-year-old. .■'■■'.•. * . #. * . Pouri looks a much .better horse as the result of.: his Jumping exploits at the Te Kuiti and Trentham fixtures. Ernie Warner is again to pilot Frank Tutchen's charge at Riccarton. . Kerry Dance is the most advanced of M. J. Carroll's : team. The NassauGlissando chestnut should be useful next season. j * • # .. i "Bert" Tinker is endeavoring to j get Gala Day into the ways bf hurdling. In the few essays hahas had the big, Quin Abbey gelding has not shaped like a natural fencer. «■ - # # Ramblin' Kid, which was m a bad way from internal trouble a couple of weeks back, is now on the mend. * # * This is probably the reason why the Winterbourn .gelding had not been displaying the usual dash m his hurdle races. ■ -

. *CT' DEAU CAVALIER is the local favorite v for the Grand National^ Steeplechase. * * * With the approach bf the Christchurch Hunt and Grand National meetings, trainers are- beginning to top their candidates off. A. Louisson has purchased the rising three-year-old colt Night March from his breeder, G. A. Kain. Night Miarch showed impressive form as a tworyear-old by winning the Dunedin Juvenile Handicap at Christmas time. Then at the Dunedin Club's autumn meeting he dead-heated with Full Feather m the Hopeful Handicap and ran third m the Champagne Stakes to Goblin Market and Rln-tin-tin. Night March is by Night Raid from Marsa, the dam of Full Swing. Night March has gone into A. McAulay's stable at Riccarton. #■• » • Looking sick and sorry, Aberfeldy returned home from Trentham, where he got knocked about when, he fell on the last day of . the meeting there. mimiimiimiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiimiiii

Limerick and Arikiwai are adding their quota of good work. to the proceedings at Riccarton, and will be m perfect shape for their Australian ,tripi. Provided Arikiwai keeps sound, which is doubtful. " * # » Hoylake is coming along m pleasing style under L. Lloyd. It is up to the English horse to make good next season. * # # First Sight is shaping mighty well in 'his track gallops. He went -seven furlongs last week like a train. •# # # Rapier seems to have regained, his punch and is going along m his best style. * # * Roscrea is tip-top after- his race at Trentham and is doing everything right m his work. * * # Oriflamb Is to be qualified as a hunter. * - * ■" # Nine of Spades was a competitor m the Studholme Hurdles at Waimate. He mis-cued at a couple offences, but it can be taken for granted that he is going to make a useful hurdler. , • iiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiitiiintiiiiiiiiiniimiinumiimu
