Chasing Gloaming

i AMOUNIS HAS FINE j j CHANCE OF IMPROVING ] ON RECORD HELD BY WONDER HORSE. j I THE PROGRAMME Latest advices from Melbourne credit Amounis with being in great heart at present, and he looks certain to add to his prizemoney at the autumn carnival there, where his chief opponents will be High Syce, Highland, Fourth Hand, Carradale and Phar Lap. i As a result of his runaway win at [ Rosehill recently, Amounis has nownetted £32,500 in prize money. He ‘s ' sixth on the list of notable prizewinners, Gloaming having the record in stakes, which is £43,100. Amounis will only - need to keep sound in wind and limb to reach Gloaming’s record. The former is £10,600 behind the latter, and it looks as if the St. George Stakes, nine furlongs, Essendon Stakes, .1 J miles, and C. M. Lloyd Stakes, 1 mile, should go t:o Amounis at the forthcoming autumn carnival at Flemington. Returning to Sydney, Amounis will contest the weiglit-for-age races at the A.J.C. Easter carnival, and even if Xightmarch is to run, Amounis is certain of gaining some prize money at least. All going well, Amounis has a splendid chance of passing Gloaming’s record. He is a gelding, and in his seventh year looks like showing his best form. Winnings of notable horses are: Gloaming. 57 wins, won £43.100. Limerick. 281 wins, won £38.429 10s. Heroic, 21 wins, won £38,062 10s. Eurythmic, 301 wins, won £36.891. Windbag, 18 wins, won £35.939. Amounis. 24 wins, won £32,500. i David, 20 wins, won £31.410 10s. Carbine. 33 wins, won £29,626. Manfred, 11 wins, won £28.830. j Trivalve, 8 wins, won £25,375. STATELY SOLD PURCHASED FOR AUSTRALIA The Paladin filly Stately who formerly raced in the ownership of Mr. George Murray-Aynsley, of Riccarton, was purchased over the week-end by the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited, which was acting on behalf of an Australian buyer. * Stately has shown remarkable form on the tracks, some of the brilliant gallops she recorded in the spring surprising many racing authorities. She failed to repeat her efforts with the colours up, but her admirers still believe that she will improve with age and solidity. Her dam. Limeligl\t, was one of the gamest mares racing in the Dominion for her inches, and, like her daughter, she did not reach her best form till i she had raced for a couple of seasons.
