TURF TOPICS. (Bo “Moturoa.”) Ohinemuri and Napier Park races to-day. Rangitlkei acceptances close at 9 pm, on Monday. Eurythmic continues to carry all before, him in Melbourne, and a meeting between him and Gloaming would be worth going a lung way to . A contemporary lias worked out Silver Link’s winnings to date, which aggregate £6435. Considering that she only cost 80 guineas, Mr. Alexander has every reason to be pleased with his purchase. There is a great battle for winning sires’ supremacy this season. Martian leads with £ 16,440; Demosthenes follows with £15,918, and Absurd is handy with £14,260. It is quite on the cards that Mermin, Rational and Co. will lift Absurd to the top of the poll befuie the season , closes.

Biplane was recently blistered in bqt/h forelegs, and Mr. T. A. Stirton get a out of him in the winter. 'Considering •.nat race Biplane won was the Chai-

lenge Stakes at Riccarton in 1918, his prospects do not look attractive. The Australian horseman, Frank Bullock, is making big money in England. Although not able to ride under 7.13, he finished second with 94 wins this year, and his retaining fees alone amount to £5OOO per annum. Bullock has bought a nice houne at Newmarket, and went to Switzerland to spend the winter. H's son, Frank junr., is apprenticed, and is said to be a promising rider. “Bob” Sevier had a wonderful run of hid; on the turf this season, hi» betting operations netting £lOO,OOO In addition he visited Monte Carlo and broke the bank twice! Trainer E. Penman has Coolpan, Lady Illma and Goolwa engaged at the Rangitikei meeting, and tha trio are moving well. Mr, J, B.

Gaisford has entered Mattock and Projector (Formby—Nipple) and both look bright and well. The last-nauned gallops nicely, and should prove a paying proposition later on.

“Brone” Attwood has returned to Feiiding with his big team of horses. The Feiiding tracks have stood the dry spell better than most courses, and a large number of horses are being worked there at present. Weights for the Feiiding Easter meeting are due on Monday,
