He 1- b'K.ked to compete at Ashburton and Geraldine, and was to be schooled this week. Working Well Lord Midas, an Iliad Tour-year-old In G. Rid gw ay’s Rlccarton stable, is working well at present. He had a spell alter Easter. and he has grown Into a horse of commanding appearance. He has had plenty or speed, and he looks like developing Into a smart sprintpr, liable to win good races this season Tor Mr J. M. Samson. Capricious Caprl-clous Is In strong work at Rteearton though she has not had any serious galloping yet. She looks In good order to start on faster tasks soon. The. intention 1 s to give the mare her first race or the soaion at the Dunedin meeting next month, arter which she may be seen at Motukarara, as a wind up to her preparation for the New Zealand Cup.

Toro-Koura to Reappear Toro-Koura is due to make a reappearance arter a long lapse from racing. At hi= best this Pink Coat gelding proved himself a high-class galloper, but his career has been unfortunately restricted through unsoundness.

Retrogression Looks Well Retrogression Is due to have his first race a- a three-year-old in the Chatmos Hack Jiridieap. which lias taken the place or th* John Grigg Stakes on the Ashburton programme, and has attracted a strong field of 15 hacks.
