Limbohm, now in his tenth year, the veteran of this year’s New Zealand Cup field.

Invercargill Trots Nominations for the Invercargill Trotting Club’s meeting close on October 18, not September 18, as stated yesterday. Bad' Luck The good thing of the day beaten at Awapuni on Saturday—Kilometre. Nor was there ever a better exhibition of horsemanship after the initial bad luck than that of P. Burgess, comments The Dominion, Wellington. Named A half-brother by Salmagundi to Lochie River and Royal Money has been named Sergeant Major. Doing Service Kinnoull is doing stud service under the Remounts Encouragement Scheme this season in the South Canterbury district. Sing Sing The two-year-old filly by Salmagundi from Shelter in A. McKay’s Riverton team will race under the name of Sing Sing. Sovereign Lady’s Record ' In the five seasons she has been racing Sovereign Lady has contested only 36 races, and eight wins, seven seconds, and four thirds have been worth £2743. Secret Flight Secret Flight, who made a promising debut at the Otago Hunt meeting, is held on lease by Mr G. H. Murdoch until July 31 next. The Favourite Winning Rival has been installed an early favourite for the Ashburton Handicap on Saturday and considering the strength of the field she appears to be entitled to this position. Brilliant Pacer Ferry Post proved himself a champion to win yesterday and there is good reason to believe that he is on his way to the Cup ranks. Consort For Defaulter One of Defaulter’s consorts is Homedale (by Rossendale), the dam of Home Secretary. Homedale, who was a good winner in Australia, is in foal to Siegfried. Stud Item The Tea Tray mare Gobble (the dam of Skyrena and Adviser) is in foal to Siegfried and is to be sent from Oamaru to be mated with the Son-in-Law horse again! Making The Grade Ned Worthy won in brilliant style yesterday and he appears well on the way to reach the heights his half relations Rocks Ahead and Nell Grattan, attained. Stud News

Bookings to Sandydale include Erin's Princess, the dam of the Winton Stakes winner Cheval de Oro, Dillon Rey, Wild Pigeon (the dam of Red Pigeon) and Lady Cello, the last-named a halfsister to John Jinks and Author Jinks. Surprising Support

There was surprising support in the Wanganui Guineas for the maiden Rich Blood, who carried only £2O less than Enrich. The backing was possibly on the score of his being a brother to Sporting Blood and Sly Fox, but although he made a short run at the three furlongs, he could not sustain the effort. Big Wagers

During the course of the Moorefield meeting, a commission- was launched backing Beaulivre to the extent of £20,000 for the Epsom-Metropolitan double. Beaulivre is favourite for the first-mentioned race and second choice to Reading in the Metropolitan. Book-, makers gambled against Beaulivre’s ability to improve on Nightmarch’s 1929 performance. Nightmarch won the Epsom but was unluckily beaten by Loquacious in the Metropolitan. Sir Beau

With a fairly solid programme of classic events ahead of Sir Beau he was not strung up for the Wanganui Guinea?, and this, coupled with the soft track, gave him a harder race than would have been the case on top of the ground. However, he showed himself a game and determined colt, and can be expected to improve for his future tasks, states a Wellington writer. There are some who anticipate that he will find it much harder to beat Beau Leon and Lou Rosa in his races at Auckland, especially Lou Rosa over a distance, but that remains to be seen. Sir Beau has grown into - a nice colt and will further develop. He may not please the meticulous judges with his behind-the-saddle appearance, but there is nothing much to find fault with in his galloping and there is no doubt he is class. At Avondale

Promising Colt Cetewayo showed a lot of speed as a two-year-old, but he was seen in a different role at Awapuni, being well back in the early stages. He came home with a rattle and the effort left the impression that his stamina has improved. Cetewayo is bred along the same lines

as that great colt Hall Mark, while his dam, Chelae, is also a'sister to the dam of Trivalve. He has come in well and L. G. Morris should not find him a difficult horse to place this spring.
