strated his prowess. Prince Humphrey will make his reappearance at an early date, and on his immediate progress depends whether or not he will | contest the Cup’ • Star Stranger’s reappearance on the turf at Hastings after a lengthy absence is a subject of interest. Last year he was a warm favourite for the New Zealand Cup. and probably would have won. too, but he broke down on the eve of the meeting, and was sent into retirement. It is unnecessary to repeat his previous performances in big races. He is a good two-miler. Paquito A horse who may prove up to New Zealand Cup class this year is Paquito, who is owned by Mr. PI. A. Knight, owner of Limerick. The Thurnham gelding’s Australian performance have been most impressive, and as be I is at present a popular fancy for the A.J.C. Epsom, there can be little doubts about his being well. In the Melbourne Cup Paquito was awarded 5.5. so that enthusiasts studying the Cup weights will get an idea as to what he is likely to get at Riccarton. Trenthani has a horse for the New Zealand Cup who may prove a worthy contender if ho trains on well in the interim. This is Historic, who won the Winter Cup in effortless style. In the latter event he never looked like losing at any stage after the field settled down, and the fact, that he was trained lor the race on a light preparation shows the merit of the performance. By New Zealand Cup time, Historic will be a. much fitter horse than he is now. and if keen judges' are correct in their estimation, *the Nassau horse is going to be one of the staj’inis stars of this term. Old Rapine was a good handicap performer in his heyday, but with increasing age his form has begun to deteriorate, and the chances are that his connections with rely on Star Stranger again this year. An Aucklander | Corinax. Auckland Cup winner, won j the big Ellerslie race last December ! so handsomely that he will not be out uf his place in any Long-distance handicap. He is a proved galloper, and as he is bound to improve, with age. a trait that is very significant in Magpie horses, he may be better than ever this season. Not since Indigo dead-heated with Warstep in 1914 has a three-year-old succeeded in winning the Cup. but in this year’s race the three-year-old representation is Strong. Of course, the colt about whom most interest will be taken is the fcsouth Canterbury candidate. Pink Coat. Pink Coat’s showings in the season just ended were those of a higli-class galloper in the making, and there is no saying how good lie is. He possesses all the attributes of championship class, and if lie does well in the Great Northern Guineas and other races preceding the Clip he is sure to be a popular fancy for the big Riccarton race. Of Riccarton-trained horses, engaged in the Cup. Rapier. Hoylake. Chicle. N igh tma rch. and Paquito may do best. Goth Rapier and Hoylake were unlucky last year, but the way the for- ] mer is reported to be training on lie , may again possess excellent prosj peers in November. He looks so well j at present that already his admirers -are talking appreciatively about him for I the approaching contest. Chide is a horse that has always been regarded as a very promising gal - ; loper. and with an uninterrupted prepa ration he should develop into a very : liorse. There is no doubting his lability, for he has previously proved i that he is a very swift galloper, and • tliis year lie may come inro his own. Of the Southerners, he may be the best proposition.
