ANOTHER SELECT THREE-YEAR-OLD

A SOUTHLAND CANDIDATE

Having recovered from a' cold, Komassie, a three-year-old filly by Some Boy II. —Russian Mark, by Markhope—Russian Maid, by Stepniak, in F. T. Quinlivan’s care, is now doing well. She is a smart juvenile and may win races this season, as here is reason to believe that she is going to develop the gift of galloping. Her well-bred dam. by the way, is to mated with imported Tractor this

season. In addition to the filly named, Quinlivan has an untried four-year-old mare by Tractor— Blackfillan, by Blackstone —Strathfillan, in work. She is a stout, lazy mare, and it will be some time before her merit can be gauged, but she has improved in her galloping efforts since a grass track became available. Cassolette came through her Wellington and Canterbury campaign a sounder mare than when she left for the north, and it is on the cards that she will win races for F. W. Ellis’s stable in the spring in the event of reasonable handicapping treatment. She was hardly up to the winter poundage she was asked to carry at Riccarton and elsewhere recently. Another Good Youngster. When Silver Paper left Invercargill to be educated on the excellent tracks at Riccarton he w*as looked upon as easily the best of the two-year-olds in commission on the Southland Racing Club’s tracks, but a few observant people could have told of another youngster who promises to make

good, this being a colt of similar age, in J. W. Pankliurst’s stable. The baby racer referred to, who is owned by Mr G. Kain, cf Stirling, is a son of the English horse Night Rak and Marsa (dam of Full Swing), and he is a very nice galloper in the mak ing. He is a level-headed youngster well-grown, and just the type to de velop into a promising Derby’ am classic race candidate. He move! freely and is always inclined to carr: on, and in every way he encourage.' the idea that he will furnish into i ; stout-hearted racehorse and one wei up to bearing solid burdens. Pank burst has another two-vear-old ii hand, but this son of Balboa —Naomi by Vice-Admiral —Cora Dhue, bj i Martian, has not been long up. How ever, he is a nimble little fell aw anc can muster up pace over a furlong. So far, F. W. Ellis has every rea son to be pleased with the progress made of the 12 horses working regi; larly from his stable, and of tin elder brigade Listening Post, Kin* Balboa, Queen Balboa, Cassolette, am are doing well. His two-veai

old pupils are also progressing saths factorily and free from liml troubles. The most favoured of his youngsters is the chestnut filly Ref Sea. by Valkvrian—Whitianga, by Absurd—Black Watch, by Tasman but a half-sister to Red Wink, a fill? by Solferino—Ada Merling, promise to develop the galloping ability of be sire’s tribe.
