■ - -4 CURRENT TOPICS FROM STABLE & COURSE Views on Racing Facts and Fancies TRILLIARCH WORKING SOLIDLY

(By

“The Cynic.”)

Although he has not been galloped hard since racing at Pakuranga, Trilliarch has done a lot of solid work and in working gallops has shown that he is now in better form. A reliable gal•_~loper, Trilliarch is likely to be trouble-, some the next time he faces the starter. Excellent Progress. Excellent progress is now being made by Birthday Boy who is being allotted sprinting tasks by R. S. Bagby. During the past few weeks he has brightened up noticeably, and may soon be ready to race. Up to date, Birthday Boy has done all his racing in Australia. Solid Work. S. M. August is allotting Armacourt plenty of solid work and she is thriving on it. Armacourt failed at Pakuranga, but may show up. better next time out.- She is engaged in the middle class races at Avondale where she may be better suited. Impressive. ' Although he has not been severely tested yet, the Romney gelding Paint has made an impression on Ellerslie track watchers/ Paint won his maiden race at \Vhahgarei last autumn and a little later had to be spelled. He is one of the locals who is expected to make his way into open company. Malagigi. Malagigi, who has been entered for the New Zealand Cup, is expected to keep his engagement in the Avondale Cup. He ran a creditable second to Kihg Rey at Matamata and there is every reasoh to belieVe that he will enjoy a good season as a hahdicap performer. Improving. A useful winner of last season, Valamito recently resumed work with F. Smith’s team at Takanini. During the season Valamito made marked improvement and it is probable that he has not yet reached the peak of form. Kaspian. . /The. Matamata three-year-old..JKas-jpian, is included among the maiden .entries at Avondale. Last season he Was placed at Matamata, and left the' impression that he would see a much better day. Good Hack. The hack races are likely to attract big fields at Avondale and this will be in favour of good beginners. The Pakuranga winner Jan Ridd is one of these, and, as he is an improving horse, he is again likely to give a good account of himself.

I Names. New Zealand-bred two-year-olds sold I at the Sydney and Melbourne yearling > sales and at present in work in both ■ centres have been named as follows: ■ . —Wilson, by Siegfried—Lilock; Xavier, ■ by Lord Warden —El Boa; Sun Belle, by Beau Pere —Summertime; Shy, by Bfeau Pete —Cocoanut;; Maschera, by Ringmaster—Veil; and Fredwyn, by i Siegfried—Enmity. , From France. ; French-bred horses have done well • in England this year. Up to the end , of June, 74 had won 94/ races on the ; flat, their earnings, exclusive of minor place money, totalling £49,763. The principal contributor to that sum was Bois Roussel, with £9228, followed by ; Phakos (£3640), and L’Ouragon HI (£2840). ; Blinkers. Quite a number of horses now run !in blinkers'in England, and evidently some trainers there have the idea that it causes them to keep their mind more on the business than when they ■ can see about them. Photographs of ; fields for important American races : generally show three-fourths of the . field equipped with blinkers. i . Scottish Union. ! The St. Leger winner Scottish Union was got by Cameronian from Trustful, by Bachelor’s Double—Credena, by Cellini—Bally Glass, by Desmond. ’ Cameronian was got by Pharos —Una > Cameron, by Gainsborough, a son of ' Bayardo, tracing back to the Trenton > mare Rosaline. ■ The Wanganui Guineas. Except that there was no contest in 1932 the Wanganui Guineas has had an unbroken sequence since it was established in 1898. Prior to that year ■ the race was known as the Wanganui . Derby, and for quite a number of years ; one of the most important classic races ■in the colony. Many notable horses > figure in the list of winners of the Wanganui Guineas, for included therein are such brilliant performers of the past as Renown, Achilles, Treadmill, . Signalman, Aborigine, Danube, Counj terTeif, Bon Reve, Reputation, Nones,' , Estland, Gloaming, Affectation, Due, i'Tamatete, Highland, Razzle Dazzle, ' Pysander, Eaglet, Cylinder, Croupier, Red Manfred, Alchemic, and Royal Chief. , The Best. . According to T. Lloyd, the best horse J he trained whs Gay Crest, who was ' unlucky not to win two Auckland Cups. Gay Crest did win one, but ’ lost it on the ground of boring, pay ’ Crest won the Thompson Handicap and the Great Autumn Handicap and was , third to Spearful and Admiral Drake in the New Zealand Cup. Another good stayer trained by Lloyd was Sunart, who cost Mr R. A. McKenzie £l5OO and won the New Zealand Cup, Wanganui Cup, Hawke’s Bay Cup, and other races. In Work at Gore. ’ T. G. Pollock has Island Linnet, San Marino, Verdure, a full sister to Island Linnet, anda colt by Nigger Minstrel from Adour in work at Gore; and J. □ R. Cochrane is training Rompalong and 7 Vanity Queen on the same track. s Kinnoull. '» Kinnoull, who was one of the best ‘ three-year-olds in his season, now a i six-year-old, is standing up to work at s Riccarton well, and has only to remain 1 sound to be a good stake winner this s year. Last season he scored twice out '• of three starts. , Quinopal Recovers. 2 Just before the Otago Hunt Club’s □ fixture Quinopal broke away from his | attendant and is reported to have gal--1 loped 15 miles before he was caught. This brought on the lameness that pref vented him starting at the meeting. , He has dow recovered but is to be spelled until next hunting season. ? A Liquid Trophy. The Aga Khan sent his colt, Darda- •• nelles 11, to Germany to run in the Brown Band at Munich. The race, in addition to liberal prize-money, carries unusual trophies—a barrel of beer each for the winning owner, trainer, and jockey. A Wrestler. Hackenschmidt is the name claimed for the four-year-old gelding by The Ace from Precision. He is being trained at Ellerslie by R. W. Lewis and has shaped well in his few essays to date. A Smart Filly. Gay Marie, by Sargon from Picture, the dam of Gay Talkie, who was pur- - chased by an Indian buyer at 3,ooogns, has been sprinting well at Takanini, and is one of the early selections for 1 the Avondale Stakes. Recently she was 2 credited with running two furlongs in r 231 sec. and is reported to be ready to race. 3 Still Feeling Effects of Fall. Early in the winter the Tractor hunter Power Chief was tipped as a ’ coming ’chaser, and he was started in £ open company at Trentham. He sustained a heavy fall, and has done no good since. Made 1-2 favourite at New Plymouth, he was hopelessly beaten, being a furlong behind the winner.
