BIG WINNERS

A.J.C. AUTUMN MEETING PHAR LAP’S CONTRIBUTION It is doubtful if owners in N.S.W. have ever experienced such a profitable meeting as the autumn fixture. Excluding the Sires’ Produce Stakes and the Autumn Stakes, w*on respectively for Victoria and New Zealand, they won all the principal prizes, and from the total of £52,832 provided in added money and sweepstakes, £37,395 remains in the State. Victoria’s share was £8,643, more than half of which was won through the Sires’ Produce Stakes. New Zealanders had a lean time, £3,842 being won by the Dominion horses. Night march and Goshawk were the only winners. Queensland’s total was £2,000, and South Australia’s £952.

Of the winning owners, Mr. U. 11. Telford heads the list, the outoome of Phar Lap’s three wins. As he prepares the gelding himself, he is also at the head of the winning trainers’ list, although E. F. Walker also prepared three winners in Venetian Lady, Chemosh, and Poitiers, who. with placemoney earned by others from the stables, won nearly £7,500. Telford’s cheque is materially reduced by the terms of his lease of Phar Lap, which requires that one-third of stake money shall be paid to the owner, Mr. ID. J. Davis.

EGMONT PROSPECTS

HORSES LIKELY TO GO WELL THIS WEEK STEEPLECHASE CANDIDATES Special to THE SUN "WELLINGTON, Today. Miss Ransom is in steady work, but so far she has not struck her early form. She went a solid six furlongs at Trentham on Saturday with her stablemate, Hystride, and had the better of the work-out. Matu is to- be taken to Hawera on Monday to contest the Egmont Steeplechase. He has done a moderate amount of work, and some schooling over the jumps, but it is not thought by track watchers at Trentham that he will be forward enough to win there. His trainer, J. Ayres, is an old hand at springing a surprise, however, and the weakness of the field will play into his hands. Matu will be ridden in Thursday’s steeplechase by A. J enkins. Promising Recruit IT. Lorigan is taking Liana’s Lad to Hawera for the Hack Steeplechase, which is set down for the first day ot the Egmont meeting. Diana’s Lad has a. fair record over hurdles, and as he jumps country well, he must have a chance at Hawera, where the fences are far from difficult. In a school over eight fences on Saturday morning he jumped splendidly. Most of those he will meet in the Hack Steeplechase at Hawera will not be forward in condition, and Diana’s Lad will be very hard to dispose of. At Awapunj they say BUie Paper has come to hand very quickly, and will be hard to beat at Hawera. However, she might not be a very safe wager, as tlie track may be rather heavy, and if it is she will .not be *een at her best. Due to Repeat It is understood that Brigadier Bill (a winner two years ago of this race) is well forward, and that he is expected to run a gnod race in the Egtnont Steeplechase on Thursday. F. Corbett will ride him. Brigadier Bill usually races well at Hawera. News from Hawera is that Calamine ie doing well and is expected to be nearly at his best for this week’s racing. Some Hawera enthusiasts will not be surprised ?f he gets into the money on the second day. Waitaunaha has done a lot of solid work and schooling, and will not be easy to hold off in the Hack Steeplechase at Hawera. A solid sort this, suLe to be better this season than last. Improved Hack One thing tlmt should not be overlooked concerning the hack flat events at Hawera is that Leisure is an improved mare. She won in faultless style at Feilding. It was intended to spell Ruanui had he won at Feilding at Easter time, but he is now to race at the coming Hawera meeting. Pie was one of the unluckiest horses which raced at Feilding, and there will be no fitter liorse at Hawera. The racing Just So had at Feilding

should do her a lot of good, and if it does she will be close to the money —to say the least —at Hawera.
