Flingot shaped poorly in the Foxton Cup, tiuUhing well behind the dust clouds. ' Auckland advices state that Coromandel is galloping well, and is expected to touch top form at any moment. The starting at Foxton Avas so bad j that some hordes were liuishing wacn ptliei's were barely beginning their jour nej'. Good money was thrown away at every barrie/-rise. C'lemora is getting through good work at Lepperton and may be worth a. bet next month. Equitas and Effort are two good •'ads.'".for the Vanguard stallion Advance, and should give him increased patronage next season. Many peopie thought that Silken Rein should'have beaten Windage on the lirst day at Foxton. but the latter had plenty to spare, as he proved when he easily silenced the opposition on Monday. For 'a double-winner. Windage paid a good price. j Now is the time to sample br'.un tonics. Weights for the Taranaki and i Egmont autumn meetings arc due on Monday, and with big fields carded Mr. • Morse's handicaps will take some pick- j in 2.

Ringdove may not race again, but will probably be mated with Boniform. The progeny of such high-class neddies should be something passing wonderful. The patience of trainer T. Clarke was rewarded at the beginning of the week by old Bourrasijiie scoring in the last race at Foxton. The old fellow went riuht through last season without reaching (he wiuidug im.-t before his opponents in a sbrdc race.

Canterbury hordes j had a ureal innings at tlio meeting. •|'he "man who doesn't want to niws 'anvtliin'i at a race meeting generally ■arms himself with Hold glassed opera 'dittos or some such aid to longsighted- j nes-. but a hayseed rolled up at, Foxtail with a Ion:: telescope under bis wing, i eaniii"' far"over the rails, he viewed the 'first hurdle race keenly. iU the liorn 'Hew past, a sad-eyed joker plucked litm 1)V tin* arm and implored him to draw 'in his magnifier. " The horses will take It for a hurdle again next round if you're 'no; careful/' he warned. "By cripes,"

replied the hayseed, " twv I come to think of it 1 inner seed Windage air Guiding Glow go past that time!'' lie thought they jumped it! Although beaten at Trenthain, Provocation's brother, Tribulation, impressed punters by his resolute style of galloping, and but for leaving the barrier slowly he might have won a race. 1" ' the Hopeful Stakes on Wednesday Mr Bidwcll's colt came from the clouds inI side the distance, and his run is dej scribed as something sensational. With ( another furlong to go Tribulation must have won easily. People who go in for racing 'horses appear to be sadly wanting in knowledge of tli« rudimentary rules of racing, 'and during the past few weeks their ignorance (or carelessness) has cost punters a lot of good money and upset 'things generally. First there was the 'Bay Paul affair, which still causes heartburnings in various quarters—and rightly so. Then Wee Triiiket's ownership was called into question; Miss Park, j 'winner of the Ladies' Bracelet at the Tttranaki Christinas meeting, was dis- ( qualified because her trainer proved to Ibe on the unpaid forfeit, list. St. Tarra's 'winnings at Stratford are held up because the prad's owner apparently didn't know that his horse was a 4-year-old and j .should have carried a 4-ycar-old's burden; and so on. The latest instance of crass ignorance comes from Foxton, where Mr. Messcna's Wait.oto, carrying a pile of the 'public's hard-earned cash, |'won the January Hack Handicap and 'was immediately disqualified because his rider trained another runner in the race. | All these cases were dealt with strictly j in accordance with clear and unmistak- i 'able racing rules, which for clearness j and conciseness put ordinary legislation i to shame, and it has not been suggested | that the offenders' had any evil intent, j They simply made fools of themselves 'and of a long-suffering public, because | 'tlicy did not know enough about the j 'rules they raced under, and probably I had never bought a copy of them in 'their lives. Meanwhile the big army of J punters do their money "hard." While on the subject T wish to draw 'the attention of owners and trainers to 'the fact that on March Ist next the new rule relating to jockeys' colors will come Into force. The rule provides that any person who shall at any meeting where the totalisator is used run a -horse in colors other than those notified in the Official Calendar as registered in his name shall pay to the club a fine of one sovereign for every start. As stated above, the rule comes into operation on March Ist next, and the Wanganui Cup 'meeting will be he first held after it 'comes' into operation.

| regulations under the Race Meetings Act of last session, which was passed ''with the object of prohibiting proprietary pony racing, are now being considered by the Hon. D. Buddo. "When the regulations are published," said Mr. j 'Buddo, " I think the public will recognise that means will be taken to prej vent anything undesirable occurring, and probably to further the interests of those who take a legitimate interest in : race meetings.''
