Bon Reve's break-down means a long » spell. # Leonta is being schooled in preparation for the Grand National Hurdles. Tragedy King pulled up very eronk after contesting the Campbell Hurdles on Monday. Appropriate nomenclature! Cooee's three-year-old daughter races as Hullo. Maniaroa is a likely aspirant to hurdle honors, and is to be schooled by J. Fryer. But for breaking down, Morecambe would have been back in the weighing enclosure when El Gallo was finishing in the Great Northern Steeple. El Gallo only cost Mr. W. J. Ralph .€2OO, and £IOO out of winnings. Four firsts in four starts over fences puts Mr. Ralph well on the right side of the ledger. Sandy Paul made a big bid for victory in the Winter Steeple at Ellerslie, and in the last round looked like winning The veteran Golden Glow came down the hill best and landed the race by three lengths. Mr. C. Arc Ten's Prinzora was splendidI Iy handled by H. Barraclough in the 1 Stewards' Handicap at Palmerston Trots, < and just beat a rank outsider in Jolm H. The latter had the services of Arthur Olliver. The season 1914-15 lias been remarkable for many records, both as regards times and stakes snapped up by various horses. It is worth mentioning that Warstep, with £O3OO against her name, won more than ever was won by one hor.-si 1 in a season; Reputation ( £4090) put up record figures for a three-vear-old- and Desert Gold ( £3740) did ditto for two-year-olds. Jockey E. Copestake, who suffered a broken collarbone when Sportsman "threw out" in the Great Northern Steeple, is now on the road to recovery. Before starting in the Campbe'l Hurdles Harbor Light was priced, but the would-be buyer shied at £3OO. He must have kicked himself when he saw the chestnut strolling home in fron
of Corrie and otlicr crack hurdlers. Jockey C. Brown topped the winniiv horemen at Ellerslie with three firsts" Others to score twice were: A Julian W. Adams, L. Traill, A. McFlynn, and C. Scott. The sum of £4Oll went through the mil! at Palmerston trots on Wednesday which goes to prove that once the public get educated up to the game tilings will boom in that line on the coast. Our Hawera friends promise us a great meeting next month. The principal winning owners at the Auckland meeting were: W. J. Ralph £IBOO, Hon. J. D. Ormond £1370 W r Woods £OOO, N. Brown £.-500, Collins and Casey £SOO, B. Goldwater £420 J George £420, and A. B. Carley £350" Taranaki got its share of the coin, over a thousand in stakes coming this way Prospects for a successful invasion by Taranaki horses of Trentham and Riccarton "convincing grounds" look bright this winter. Royal Arms, Styrax Harbour Light, Sandy Paul, and."Cornelian are in good fettle, and Maniaroa and others are coming on in good style.. Reputation figures amongst the entrants for the Melbourne and Caulfleld Cups, and for the principal wcight-for-' age races in 'Stralia next season. Good reports come to hand of the champions condition, and his running will be brim-' Ful of interest to New Zealanders. The surplus showing over the Hawke's Hay Jockey Club's autumn meeting was £1392, and this includes just over one hundred pounds which goes down as "unclaimed dividends." .That teaches one the folly of tearing up tote tickets until tho noddy backed is dead and buried. Winners are often rubbed out, and then comes the frantic search for discarded tickets on the third horse < The money should go to the Patriots Fund, which it probably will do. The fund can do with it anyhow! i Racing clubs are doing their part right nobly at present, and recent contributions by the Wanganui and Manawatu i Uubs bring their donations up to £10"0 apiece. The Taranaki clubs are behind in this respect up to the present, but the future may see a change. Client will probablv enjoy a spell until the spring, but Trainer Tilly has t-conta, Kew, Ardent, and others goin" the right way for forthcoming events. ° _ Golden King is one of the most con-' Distent performers in the southernmost end of the Dominion, and has won well over £IOOO in stakes alone. Obsono, once one of our smartest oprmters, has said farewell to the turf. He has been a great battler in his day find has travelled and raced in several Australasian States. A Wanganui advertiser recently wanted "horses for the lions" at the local Zoo. Now some humorist is cutting out the advt. and posting it along to owners of disappointing racehorses. That is rubbing it in with a vengeance.
