NATIONAL CUP MIGHTY IMPRINT A SPLENDID RECORD CONSISTENCY REWARDED Imprint, winner of the chief event at the Metropolitan National fixture, is a six-year-old son of Denver Huon from a Prince Imperial mare and is recognised as one of the most consistent and solid pacers in commission in the Dominion. COAST EDUCATION Imprint, like many another good horse, won his first race on the West Coast in the spring of 1924, and added to his success by winning the Westport Cup two months later. There was a big dust up over the performance of both Imprint and Some Wilkes, who ran second, and subsequently both pacers were given a compulsory holiday for six months. FIVE IN SUCCESSION The Nelson-owmed pacer made his re-entry into the game at a meetijig in Auckland held in August, 1925, in honour of the visit of the American Fleet, and after being beaten in the opening heat, came out later and won the big two-mile event in fine style. Wellington was next visited and Leo Berkett landed a double. The son of Denver Huon then came on to the Auckland spring fixture, where he secured the principal event on each day’s card, and on his second essay, Alexandra Handicap, put up a wonderful performance, which set the seal on hia fame as a great horse. From 60 yards behind the Nelsonian, after travelling on the outside of his field all the way, won brilliantly in the splendid time of 4.28 3-5. Imprint finished up the season by winning the Prince of Wales Handicap at the Auckland winter meeting, having a remarkable record of six firsts, one third, out of nine starts. N.Z. CUP CANDIDATE Mr. Louisson’s great pacer was heralded as a champion and his prospect of annexing the New Zealand Cup last year was held in high respect hy good judges, but owing to his acceptance paper being late, Imprint was not a starter. Very little was heard of the Southerner for some time last season, hut he turned up at Alexandra Park ia June and pulled out some solid, consistent performances. „On Saturday at Addington the Denver Huon gelding was only beaten a head by Audacious in the August Handicap, Berkett’s charge traversing the distance in 4.25 3-5. Lovers of a good horse will be Pleased to see his consistent efforts rewarded by a fine victory in the National Cup. The Nelson horse will again have a host of admirers for the New Zealand Cup in November. ABAYDOS. KAWINI HAS RUN HIS LAST RACE JUMPER’S CAREER ON THE TURF ENDS ABRUPTLY . If is very probable that that fine jumper Kawini, has run his last race, an accident at Riccarton yesterday being responsible. Kawini contested the Grand National lurdles, and it is said that early in hat race he put his hip out, and after he race he was in a pretty bad way. The owner of the horse, Mr. H. A. ’Waffield, is to be sympathised with in he loss of the services of such a good •ne, for there is little doubt that Ka'vas a grand jumper, endowed v ith more than the average pace. It jjas always a pleasure to see Kawini ear mg the obstacles, w'hether they . v ® re hurdles or formidable brushes or •OSS, for he would skim them in a most graceful style. Unlucky Horse a U that Kawini was a most unk°rse» *ur in several of his iin-

portant engagements he ran splendid races, only to get beaten into a minor place. Seconds in the Great Northern Hurdles and Steeplechase 14 months ago, another second in the Grand National Steeplechase two months later, third in the Great Northern Steeplechase and second in the Winter Steeplechase two days afterwards, followed by being second once a grain in the Wellington Steeplechase last month. This was the rather exasperating record of the Formative—Miss Winnie ge’^'^g. Kawini’s wins were in the Pakuranga Hunt’s Ladies’ Bracelet two years ago: Hunters’ Steeplechase at the Auckland spring fixture the year before last; Onehunga Steeplechase 12 months later on the same course: Raglan Hurdles at Te Rapa last April. Winnings Total £3,465 The fact that despite his wretched luck Kawini netted no less a sum than £3,465 in stakes gives an idea of what his winnings would have been had his outings been smiled upon more graciously by Dame Fortune. As it is the horse has more than paid his way since he commenced his career with an unplaced performance in the Pakuranga Hunt Cup just two years ago. Kawini was not old as ’chasers go. for he had celebrated his eighth official birthday on August 1. The Papatoetoe trainer, R. Hall, has done a lot of good work with his horse, and the way he has stood up to his racing was evident from the fact that Kawini was thoroughly sound up to the time ho made a mistake—one of the very few registered against him—at Riccarton yesterday, and which it is feared has terminated his racing career. Mr. Swaffield, too, is to be commiserated with if. as is feared, Kawini has bid farewell to the turf. RACING AT RICCARTON FIELDS FOR THE FINAL DAY BEAU CAVALIER’S PROSPECTS The prospects for the concluding day of the Grand National meeting at Riccarton to-morrow are not too promising from the weather point of view. The track yesterday was heavy, and it will probably be very little better tomorrow. The big event is the Lincoln Steeplechase, in which a nice field is engaged, and with the other races attracting quite good acceptances the sport should provide a fitting conclusion to a notable fixture. Taking a line on the form as disclosed by the running on Tuesday and again yesterday, it is reasonable to expect the following horses to be well supported in their engagements tomorrow:— Longbeach Handicap.; Royal Lineage and Kalos. Aylesbury Steeplechase: The Babe and Hokioi. Sydenham Hurdles: Wharncliffe and Perle de Leon. Styx Hurdles: Peneus and Beauty Light. Lincoln Steeplechase: Beau Cavalier and Peter Maxwell. Hoathcote Handicap: Fairy Herald and Nukqmai. Redcliffs Handicap: Grand National and Rowley. Selwyn Handicap: Kaiti and Solferite. The acceptances for to-morrow are as follows: LONGBEACH HANDICAP 6 fur.

BIG FIGURES WITH A SMALL PROFIT WEATHER AFFECTS A.J.C. MEETINGS By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright SYDNEY, To-day. The annual report of the Australian Jockey Club shows a profit for the

year of £385. The smallness of the amount is accounted for by the bad weather experienced at the summer and anniversary autumn (Easter) meetings, the latter having to be postponed. Racing was carried on at Rand wick on 15 days, and £147,989 was contributed in stakes. The previous year’s total was £148,355. At Warwick Farm there was nine days’ racing, and the stakes totalled £24,136, bringing the grand total to £172,145, compared with £176,840 for the previous year. The amount passed through the totalisator was £1,129,204 at Randwick, and £113,889 at Warwick Farm, a total of £1,243,093 for 30 days, against £1,294,649 for 32 days last year. The State revenue from the totalisator was £112,000. —A. and N.Z.
