Sea Link Impressive. On the Hawera track yesterday Sea Link (Reilly) impressed by defeating Fiancee (McDonald) over half a mile in 511. Sea Link is a speedy filly, who may develop into a first-class open performer next season.

Outsider Wins Cup. The Hawke’s Bay Cup at Hastings yesterday resulted in a narrow win for the outsider. The Ring.. She was last five furlongs from home, but movcd round the field on the turn and joined Lindrum in the lead at the distance. These two fought out a hard finish. The Ring doing better in the last few strides, to win by half a length from Lindrum. Galteemore and Hunting Cat. who joined issue with the leaders soon after turning lor home hung on desperately. Galteemore failing by a head to get second money. Hunting Cat was a close fourth, and Charing Cross and Diana Tetrix were nearly in line with him. Gay Mimic and Lady Furst led to the home turn, where both stopped. Serenata was the victim of crowding at the end of two furlongs. Beaupartir. the favourite. was never in a winning position. A Keen Finish in Oamaru Cup. Five in the Oamaru Cup yesterday crossed the lino with small margins between. Thermidor, after suffering interference at the home turn, got up to beat The Wrecker by a short head, with Settlement the same distance away. Swordstick was a neck away fourth, just beating Night Pal. Night Pal’s rider, V. Sellars, was cautioned for interfering with Thermidor, who in turn bumped Swordstick.

Black i hread Too Good. Black Thread, carrying 9.12, was much too good for the open sprinters in the Flying Handicap at the Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club’s meeting yesterday. Jeanne led into the straight from Brunhild. Lexden, and Black Thread, but the last-named was soon in charge. Over the last furlong he never looked like being beaten and ho had two lengths to spare from Rakahanga when he reached the post. Footloose, who stumbled at the start and was last at the half-mile, finished fast for third, and Golden Blondo was fourth. Loxden and Endorsement both faded out after showing speed for the first halfmile. A Brilliant Colt. ; The brilliant Australian pacing colt' Admirer has won seven races on end. and is considered the best three-year-old to race in the Commonwealth. In his last effort, the South Australian Derby, he led all the way to win by 30 yards in 3min. 27 4-sscc. for a mile and a-half on a small track. As a preliminary to the Derby he won two handicap races for horses of al) ages at Ascot, and then followed up his victories in the Gonlburn. Warrigal. Snowtown. Melbourne and Adelaide Derbies. He is by Robert Derby, sire of Lawn Derby (lmin 59 2-ssec) from Lulu Love, by Lulu Boy, and is owned by Mr R. Roach, who trains and drives him.

Ajax’s Great Performance. The All-aged Plate, which has been in existence for 50 years, is considered Australia’s best mile weight-for-age event. In winning it for the third time Ajax put up a record, for the only horses 1 to win it more than once are Gladsome, 1904 and 1906. and Malt King. 1911 and 1912. Ajax has only been once unplaced in 41 starts, his record being 33 wins, five seconds and two thirds. Methods of Pronunciation. Since Beau Livre (or Bcaulivre) ran second to Mildura in the Doncaster at Randwick, states the Sydney Daily Telegraph, there has been much discussion as to the correct pronunciation and spelling of his name. One radio announcer calls him Bo Liver, another Boly-ver and a third 80-liv-ray. His owner, Mr E. C. Harnett, and trainer, G. Price, stick to Bo Leev. The name, which is French for Good Book, is apt, because of his breeding —Beau Pore —Pass Book. The A.J.C. original entry sheet printed his name as Beau Livre, but in race book and in liis New Zealand registi'ation■ he appeared as Beaulivrc.
